oh you are absolutely right! agree all of them.. And also, even could stand up with Khatun was easier than stand up with that spoiled brat. I couldn't bear him at the end anyway and quickly walked away face of him most of the time, at the last level I could do without missing the story XD

haha.. Those days sure was that! :) I still remember the time I forced you to dig into those bottomless wells to read my comment of martial arts. XD you suffered so much X))

I just open it to look at on for a few minutes, I found myself watching the bts at the end. X)They're really funny. Especially the comedy of WL's imitations of Great Khan is on a completely different level :D I want to laugh out loud every time XDD WL's raising and lowering those eyebrows, squinting-widening his eyes, gigantic rude laughter, 'this is my greatest eldest son' line hahaha...
By the way, even in a comedy environment, if they watch the ep25 scene, they will stop laughing, their eyes will fill up, they will be locked on the scene and will not be able to smile at that moment... Just as we the audience are exposed to the same emotional waves no matter how many times we watch that, even they cannot stop being locked to scene. MJ's 'your acting is so great' comment for the part where AS tried to shoot Sheer and didn't... It's impossible for anyone not to admit it. When he said 'Really really can act. I've never seen anything like this', he was point out his acting performance there, right? I'm also glad he explained why he didn't shoot there. We can guess, but hearing his character's feelings and thoughts from the actor's mouth makes the scene more meaningful.

If you could only guess how hard what you want is! X) I wrote a tiny fight scene for my FF about the ending, and even that was enough to burn my brain. XO It is really hard to imagine and write down even the smallest fighting scene. If someone try to write a fight between the invincible warrior of the grassland and the invincible sword master, their brain would crumble and fall into their hands XD

The child Khatun placed next to the crown prince. As Shuyu and Tang soldiers came, he was shouting his lie that CG was going to assassinate the crown prince and try to kill him so they would burn CG and break the alliance through her.

for the first one.. Can you see the difference in their gaze? CG's hostile look mixed with disgust.. AS has to shoot an arrow at the person he cares about, so his expression is much flatter.. Look again at his gaze and facial expression when he shot that lying boy in ep 44 and you will clearly see the difference between his two gazes.

Is that what Dragnelia said? So now I'm going to be objective and change my sentence: I think Langlang will win. But Sun is always the winner of our hearts. XD İndeed the swordfighting masters in this type of drama really have different tricks and special skills they have developed. How can I say... Feeling the breath of the nature/ the air/ his opponent, whispering of the vibrations he feels what he has to do next in his ear.. using the sword as a limb of his body, not as a tool.. eyes and gaze that observing the opponent's identity, structure, character and fighting style and calculating rival's next moves... knock down all simple opponents without unsheathing his sword, unsheath it as his final move when faced with an opponent who will force him to do it, and moves the unsheathed sword with a completely different level of skill.. somehow learning own fighting styles of the great families in history that were passed down from generation to generation.. and being the secret heirs at least three or five of those styles.. blah blah. :D
In short, these masters are hard to beat. XD Theirs are not normal experiences and skills. I don't know how much would be realistic for Langlang, but I'm sure he has at least a few of them :D

Yes those comments disappeared deep in our well. Now when you think about it, there is not much written about this. Should I include all my comments on martial arts and duels in the discussion section? So those who come here later and have a weakness in this field (like us XD) can read something about it here and talk about it. Do you remember others who wrote about fights and duels? Maybe they would add their comments there too. So We will have our 'Appreciate the great martial arts on TLB' desk. X))

that would be absolutely amazing. I really like how they make the arrows flight angles look clean and cool. Especially in the scene LJ's arrow rain and AS/CG shooting arrows at each other ... I really wish we had something like this.

Actually they were about to start a fight when Langlang were trying to kick out AS who was looking for CG... we might have seen something if that girl hadn't gotten into 'you can't do it here'. So that wasn't a very weak chance. Though this would probably be more like a fight than a duel like the others, in terms of environment and conditions, but I was sure to see a few moves anyway.
I agree with all the things you said about the SunXSheer duel. In terms of fights and duels in the series, there is no one like it that satisfies me completely.
And this duel was filled with things I never really dreamed of seeing. As you said there are too many other than what is definitely predictable. I would never have guessed about that hidden dagger... Even if Sheer swung that dagger, I was sure AS would block it (cliches) but the move he didn't expect realistically caught him off guard and he was stabbed. Who guesses that another chain might come after the dagger, how many different layers can you make in a weapon? When that chain wrapped around AS's neck it was so realistic that he was about to suffocate (swollen veins on his face, almost purple color, etc.) even though my savior logic of 'if the main character dies, the series is over' is active, I was worried for a while and I hoped Khan or anyone else would say 'this is enough or you will kill him' or something and stop him. Sun's release from that chain was also logical and beautiful. Sheer would not have let go of that chain if he had hit Sheer on another part of him, not on his wound. And then, as you said, wrapping that chain around his feet, pulling it back and saving Sheer... all moves so gorgeous. (plus If I don't mention once again that how extraordinary AS's spinning sword swing move, I would have broken my 'talk about the ep 23 duel' procedure XD)
Ah give me a sentence about this duel and I will answer you tenfold. X) Even when I think I have nothing left to talk about this anymore, I cannot stop telling the same scenes and filling dozens of lines again and again. Someone stop me. X'D

Exactly. I guess all his annoying attitude in the beginning and his emergence in the most important scenes that we were curiously anticipating what would happen to our precious characters, in a way that I could never connect with was what pissed me off. (a new series of events was being established on this boy, but among all those expected scenes, I only hoped that all these scenes about him would end. I wasn't curious about this.) I mean, I didn't like that kid from the start, so I didn't like anything he was involved with either. And when I didn't want to see him once, I couldn't care about his progress or develop anymore. I just care about ending the scene and switching to another character I love. but after all, I have to put up with him a little bit because these events will somehow be linked to the characters I love and therefore I cannot miss them completely. Otherwise, somethings would be unreasonable or missing on my mind in the future. I could only find watchable him where CG and Sun taught him a good lesson because it's funny. X)
So much has been poured out when I thought. I didn't realize how much I normally feel like this. XD

seeing all these possibilities ... I wonder what they would be like X/
SunX Langlang... the biggest disappointment not seeing this... I still hate that girl. XD Recently, @Richaliya asked me which one I thought was better... but I couldn't even give her a clear answer because of that girl (blocked our duel scene.) (here I'm sending all my reproaches to the scriptwriter over this girl XD). Even if we see the two fighting separately, you never know what could change in a duel. (Still, the first of hearts is Sun, I think he would win :DD)
Also.. You know what.. Don't you think Sun or anyone X Mr.Qin would be great too? Remember his little fights with CG.. He's really good.. When you think about this topic, he doesn't come to mind immediately, but if he does, you definitely think 'this would be a really good fight'.

all of this.. it was a beautiful scene from beginning to end. I wanted to write them all separately, but I stopped myself. And also... The second he heard that lying brat's sentence, he realized what it would cost and instantly his facial expression hardened and he sent his arrow in the same second. Who can keep up with this man's speed of grasp the events!

I guess I decided on the character that annoys me as much as Mimi annoys you. I don't know why but from the beginning, that brat, Crown Prince... I feel a strong fast-forward urge whenever he appears on scenes. I will almost say that this kid bothers me more than Khatun. Maybe I'm already saying :/D)( As you said before, it's not about the good or bad of the character.. he is a kid after all albeit spoiled. S/He just annoys you .. for reason or no reason and you can't make him/her not annoying for yourself. XD

When mimi comes to inform Sun that CG is in the western suburb, he hears the beginning of the sentence without even waiting to listen to the end grabs his sword and jumps out ... Hero mode; On

hmmm understand. I could not remember clearly her conversation to the minister, thanks for the explanation... and I'm waiting for that scene. I've heard before that it will be emotional. I will watch and see :)

XD You're right that it still drifts for the forward and things remain uncertain. My point is just for the beginning. Until CG gave up her revenge. After that, of course, there should be a neat statement. I'm on ep 44 now. CG only knows her birth story. Still, her mother's death is not clear. In other words, she must not have known about the her father's coup incident. Where are the parts you said, that is she knew her father's coup? When you say the part they met in her mother's grave, do you mean the first encounter with AS or another one? Because in the first one she didn't know any of these yet. And if there is another one, I cannot say anything about it because I haven't seen it yet.

I think the main reason why they did not explain this was because they wanted us (CG and we viewers watching the event through her eyes) to believe that her uncle killed her family and mother, in order to give the full message of the story. Thus, even though we still believe it we will understand how difficult and heavy is CG's process of giving up revenge for a better cause and we will be able to properly appreciate her growth and maturity. We'll tell her 'you made the right decision' while feeling totally like her. And maybe we will question what we would do if we had something like that. It was the best way we could empathize with this character. Though most of us realized that the event was not what it seemed, at least it had to appear to us from the outside as CG saw it unless they explained it.

yes, I was surprised that they could fit so many of them. In fact, most of these beautiful moves are not very long and transitions beautifully integrate the scenes. It's as if all those movements flows like an exciting river.

yes he has never been a hypocritical character. He was like an immature naive child who could easily be manipulated, easily irritated. An honest character is always easier to develop. If there was a person who kept everything inside, constantly raised his grudge in him and scheming, we would not be able to see his change this way.
