I agree, kind of like Bai Lu, this year she took on northward which was seen as a massive change for her, not an idol related show, more realistic with broader appeal to the older viewers. Not attractive to idol/traffic viewers but having broader appeal to a wider audience. She mentioned this year in an interview she doesn't want to do idol dramas anymore and do dramas more appropriate for her age and more realistic (her words), to try reach a broader audience, and focus on being known for her acting rather then popularity or looks or anything like that. Whether you like her or not, and like northward or not, I think it's really commendable what she's doing. Not to discuss another actors on this drama page but I hope Xu Kai does the same and possibly fire investigator is along those lines.

Self preservation a real possibility, for him to be the leader you'd think he would be really strong so many yeh. I agree, I think big brother has separate goals, maybe revenge against demons, maybe smiler to ML demons killed his family or someone close so he's out for revenge against demons, pretty common in these dramas to see someone that used to be good, driven to the dark side in order to get revenge. We'll what and see hoping today's previews give us more hints, since it will be for 28 and 29, just before the heartbreak in 31.

Yeh maybe thats a good point, I'm just surprised, ML mentioned for them to leave the mountain its decision of elders above them or something like that, where are these so called elders, they seem like they're not really paying attention. And for a sect of righteous cultivators that fight evil and demons, pretty poor no one realizes something is suspicious or off about their elder brother. But oh well, we'll see how it wraps up, if big brother isn't part of the larger villains plot with WZS and is just a side villain then hopefully they don't take too long to wrap it up.

Hahaha thank you

I hope so as well, talking with another person I regularly discuss dramas with on here, I mentioned I'm hoping they don't do the common plot where WZS regrets his decision right at the end and sacrifices himself to save FL, then FL cries over his dead body with flashbacks of their childhood. We need no redemption, just kill the man 😂

I don't think they'll officially divorce, should just be a cold war, even though she mentions divorce (in other clip posted yesterday) probably due to noble idiocy or blackmail. Also that scene should happen around ep 31, already pretty late for them to divorce and then get married again. So I'm hoping just a Cold War.

Oh true maybe yeh, they will resurrect cat master, either way hope his role is decent. And yeh exactly meant to be a righteous sect but you turn a blind eye when a hooded figure tampers with the formation. Especially, when you see ML almost die the formation and you can tell something is wrong. Idk we'll see maybe there's more then one evil person in the sect, we'll see what happens And definitely, I think possibly yeh, there was more focus on him then there should be if he was a minor character so maybe.

Hahah no problem it was a super long thread we were talking on anyway, I pretty much said about how his second brother or whatever in the sect that saw the hooded figure tamper with the bird formation in the sect and said nothing except warning the ML to leave after he survived. Like you not gonna mention you saw a suspicious looking hooded guy tamper with the bird formation? Thought that as weird. Also I checked the relationship chart again and the antagonist from wanted detective has a connection to the old cat master that defeated the big villain during the fire 18 years ago. So I think when WZS finds the black smoke a real body, it might be the actor from wanted detective, I'm hoping at least, such a good actor don't want him to be wasted with a minor role.

God damn WZS is annoying, always trying to get in ML's head.

100% that empress has kinky fetishes, same with typing up the emperor in bed

Hahaha we'll call it together then and see what happens 😂 100% though, its nearly always how it goes, would be nice if they changed it up and he died in a grotesque way like you said. Also same with rat elder, should have killed from the start, hope he meets a grotesque end as well, PJY death was satisfying if only it came from ML or FL.

100% I can see it coming in the end he will have Eureka moment and self sacrifice himself or something like that to help them win, end up dying and FL will cry over his sacrifice with flashbacks of their childhood together, calling it now

Will do, thank you!

No I think this is when they find out about each others identity and are in the middle of a Cold War/argument, so he resorts to these methods because she refuses to eat with him otherwise, she gets pregnant right at the end I think it will be

I love how he's constantly calling her wife as well

100%, so much for learning a lesson from PJY, did he not see how his obsession works out for him

Oh yeh him tampering with the bird thing and no one doing anything was crazy. Especially his second brother or whatever that saw the hooded figure tamper with the bird formation and said nothing except warning the ML to leave after he survived. Like you not gonna mention you saw a suspicious looking hooded guy tamper with the bird formation? ok. Thats true about the alliance, didn't think of the possibility it cause be a set up by big brother at changxi palace true. I'm not sure about his goal either, he said he wants demon chaos in chang'an so he can lead his men there, but why? I'm sure we'll find out but not sure right now if he's meant to be a side villain or part of the larger villain group. Obsessed dude is crazy stalker, the scene with him watching them kiss will be so weird to watch, I truly hope FL draws a proper line with him from here on out. No like best friend nonsense. I;m pretty sure from the trailer also we saw that sword relic he gave back, back in ML's hands so we know sooner or later he gets it back. Also I rechecked the relationship chart and the antagonist from wanted detective has a link with the old cat master that died in the fire 18 years ago. So that makes me think even more he will be the body for the resurrected black smoke. But still have to wait and see, I hope he doesn't make a minor role that wastes his potential.

Same he deserves it I have no idea what he thought was gonna happen really 😂

Yeh, I'll let you know about the relationship angst, I agree will make people angry, especially after finally seeing a wedding and supposed happiness. Especially, if noble idiocy is involved, that will be annoying because lets be real ML is supposed to be strong, so is FL, they re meant to be some of the strongest going around (strongest taoist, strongest demon). So neither would need the others protection you would think. Likewise, you would tink WZS would know FL better to release, if he destroyed the city and everyone she loved, what makes him think FL would just accept it and go to him. Definitely, just obsession not love.

Definietly agree, I think you will like ep 23, although can be a bit confusing regarding the big villain had to re watch to understand fully what was happening. I feel like ep 23 should have been done earlier, set up all this a bit earlier, but at least we know it's beginning to be set up. In terms of the relic, yeh his master gave it to him but his big brother was like its part of the sect, if you leave you have it give it back etc, and ML too trusting and returned it (it was that talisman ML was always wearing that saved him form the rock monster and also turns into a sword). I'm guessing we will get a plot like ML is in trouble, it returns to him cause evil big brother isn't 'worthy' to use it and doesn't follow his command or something like that. I agree with the wedding stuff. Thats why I liked LOTFG changing from the novel and explosion her identity before marriage or engagement. Wish they did it hear as well, seems like the order isn't right but oh well, probably just want to up the angst which is a bit annoying. I think ep 24/25 happiness, then a bit of happiness in 26 then form then on seems like suspicious begins in bad half of 26 on wards. Will be interesting to see how Changxi palace and emon market reach an alliance so quick in the next few eps. And I do hope we get a bit more explanation on the big villain the three eyed giant/black smoke, like his background and what happened 18 years ago to make into black smoke now. I'm thinking since WZS said he would get him a body, maybe thats when we will see the antagonist from wanted detective.
