Alen Fang deserves more roles like this. It's always hilarious every Ep his in.
I know! He portrayed this character well without being greasy haha. Cringey at times but hilarious. Almost forgot his very bland character in The Long Ballad
LGT being the shippable piece of the drama....we literally shipped him w every single female here and ik he'll…
His character is so intriguing. But from the character map, it looks like he is linked to Yang Ying…there was a comment here that mentioned they might end up together (perhaps they become rulers of their respective countries and unite the two). I also look forward to YY’s character development - she has potential and I see the snippets of her becoming a strong leader in the trailers
This is super interesting! It wouldn’t be the worst that’s for sure. Both of our female leads puppies ending…
Im really curious about LTG’s character and am wondering the same thing. Perhaps LTG and YY will unite the nations through marriage? Not sure how they will play how his obsession/love over his shifu, Ruyi
Hheehehe I’m still on ep9 but peeked at eps 10-12 and am feeling giddy. It’s not everyday that you come across a drama that has you engaged from ep1. Great cast, promising plot and not so predictable or conventional characters. I was waiting for its release but was nervous before it aired. I’m glad this drama’s doing well! Love LSS and LYN.
Who came here from the Mysterious Lotus casebook drama we just finished it and we are hoping for more bromance…
YES, I really wish they had more screen time together in Mysterious Lotus Casebook. There was lots of potential to flush it out, I hope this drama will make up for it.
I just finished the drama and wow, the withdrawals are real. Despite the very slow progress in the beginning,…
- How did shan gu dao die? It looked like LLH only got rid of SGD’s martial arts (altho I thought he intended to kill him) but then later it looked like someone had shot him? Or were these just the affect effects of all the hits he took and not wanting to stop? - In the special ep where everyone was looking for LLH, they show DFS holding LLH’s broken sword. They also zoom in on another sword that was in standing upright in the ground behind him - is that DFS’s sword or the wenjing sword LLH got rid of? Not sure if that zoom in was signifying something - What was Ah Mian and Zijin’s purpose in this story? I was quite baffled with the additional screen time they had. Although…I don’t blame for Zijin’s mistrust because it never looked like Ah Mian loved him (despite saying LXY is just an old friend from the past). Did they have more of a role in the novel?
I finally read the entire novel from beginning to end and these are my thoughts, beware of my long post as I’m…
I now understand why LYF is so well loved and why the shipping wars are so intense. I can’t blame any of the them because I honestly loved XY’s dynamic with all the guys (maybe minus FL because he really wasn’t much of a contender lol).
It was a wonderful ride being taken along XY’s journey in achieving simple life with her lifelong companion. We witness her fighting alongside our male lead ZX in uniting the nations and conquering the world, and her relationships with the different suitors along the way.
Despite the debate on who XY should/could have ended up with, I still believe that she loved them all in her own way. Ultimately, fate, choices and circumstances led her to ending up with Jing. By the end of it, I was truly happy for them as they went through thick and thin and deserved a HE.
ZX/CX - My heart ached the most for him. There would not have been a story if they had a normal childhood, as they probably would have ended up a married couple just like his parents. They were each other’s closest family and blood. Surprisingly, his character grew on me and I couldn’t help but still root for him despite the things he did. The tragic irony in his journey to gaining power (to protect her) was that it led him to losing her forever.
TSJ - The only man who fits XY’s criteria. Even though he was the logical choice, XY truly loved him. He appears weak, but kills it with kindness. The smartest and most strategic, but without ambition. The one who was able to open up and heal XY’s heart. He is like water, calm and unwavering. It was nice to see her grow as a person through her experience with Jing - going from someone who was always prepared to run away to someone who was willing to yearn a lifetime for someone she felt was worth it.
XL - A memorable character with his touching silent love. Resolute yet doesn’t desire anything. He is a fan favourite for a good reason, and leaves a deep impression because his character will always make us wonder “what if”. He is probably my favourite standalone character. He deserved that epilogue.
In a way, each character had their HE since they achieved what they set out to do.
ZX became the most powerful man who ensured XY would always be protected so she could live freely and happily. TSJ ensured XY had a partner to walk through life's ups and downs for all eternity. XL ensured XY had all her needs in life - self defense, a life partner, and ability to call anywhere home (land or water).
I am super anxious about season 2 and hope that they can deliver the rest of the plot with the same success as S1 without cutting down the scenes/eps because we’ve got a lot to cover! Brb as I go rewatch S1 😭
I finally read the entire novel from beginning to end and these are my thoughts, beware of my long post as I’m having serious drama/story withdrawals 🥲
In the novel, Hou kills TSJ, and ZX makes it possible.Based on what we've heard about the leaked script for S2,…
They are cousins (his dad and her mom are siblings). I think her mom calls the grandmother ''master'' instead of ''mom'' but I heard this was voiced over in the drama. Not sure why because it was the norm for cousins to marry back then.
Finally finished the last ep of season 1 and loved it! Looking forward to season 2 and am hoping it delivers just as well as season 1. Great discussion everyone! See you then!

Can someone please explain to me on some questions?
