Am all up the bum of the Wudang/Shaolin combo. Watching it play out in some of the scenes was magic!! The long forgotten long shots on the fight scenes (think ROTCH) - where the camera work is not right over their shoulders - gave me shivers.

Exactly. This drama slaps - rated below 8.0 here on MDL is a wuxia crime.

Absolutely not a flop any way you look at it - ratings status or not. This drama is towards the top of the wuxia martial arts battle(s) list. Some of the best ever presented.

Exactly what I mean. 😅

By impostering - I also mean to include the mystical masking technique used to pretend to be someone else. The entire masking theme is getting tired.

This 👆🏻- all the face masking (including impostering) is turning out to be more frustrating than intriguing. Need some context info sooner than later. Would hate to see the masking mysteries go to the very end.

And jayline.

Second 1/2 mask looks like the Fang fool.

Maybe bad guy R jumps in the office and ML jumps at his computer? Its just not clear whats what - yet.

Agreed. Full mask black clad is the 2nd brother and most likely R - or R's second.

Partial mask black clad is the Fang fool. Clearly lower down on the bad guy food chain.

I am still suspicious of the Fang father being involved somehow.

Same same.

👍🏻

Gooba ga gah blah. Could barely understand what he was meant to be saying with his dead fish eyes, blank stare, and monosyllabic mumbling. Then again that could be considered out of type good acting. 😅

Is it In the original material? I wonder if anyone on the board knows?

Exactly right. The fight scenes are so good there is little need to pay too much attention to the rest. Let it slide by and smile slightly. 😁

I see your point. Trying to say we are meant to be focusing on the fighting scenes. All the rest - emotions, etc. - is harmless filler.

Seems plausible. He does look different in the interviews.

I think what I am trying to say is that I do not understand his cultivation arch. Make sense?

This. Well said.

How did they end up growing him up like this? Did they not know? Sometimes you do not really know someone until they are under extreme pressure.
