The 34 episode version is only available with Chinese subs. These episodes are shorter and thus have the murder cases being solved part way through a following episode. The English-subbed 30 episode version has organised the series neatly with exactly two episodes per murder case. The 30 episode version still has all the murder cases. Some people say that overall there are a few missing scenes but I don't know if this is true and do not feel I missed anything in the story.

thank you for this link! had been wanting to watch for a while so thank you! 🙏

i watched the movie today. it had some nice touching moments. felt very much like a Hollywood movie in terms of production and story line. it was better than most things being made. worth the watch 7.5/10

I'm really looking forward to this! <3

enjoying so far. something refreshingly different.

100% agree with your take

season 1 was a phenomenal act. this is a very different style. In season 1 we had new places, new master fighters, origin stories and an entire world built for us. Season two thus far has definitely focused on a very small aspect of all these elements and focused on a few characters. I'm with you in your sentiments. Hoping they can wow us in new ways for the 2nd half. But I am loving how intelligent the characters continue to be written.

episode 11

thank you for the summary. you saved me 🙏

thanks so much for the reply and explaination - makes sense. I appreciate it. 🙂

love that you loved this. I had a look at your ratings and you've rated quite a few things like CLOY, Hotel de Luna, Joy of Life, MLFTS, and Mr Queen 1/10 - is this just your account to change MDL ratings to favor the shows you liked or did you genuinely find those other series the worst things you've ever seen?

I really like your summary and agree with many things you said about the dramas pros and cons. If you left reviews for dramas I would read them as this would have been a great read before watching the drama for me!

Since I was looking to watch this series, I went and looked at the Chinese non-subbed 34 episodes (40 min each) and compared it to the HBO/SBS English subs 30 episode version which are 45+ minutes each). Some of that time is intro/outtro but from what I can tell at least some of the "missing" time is in fact, not missing, but rather within the 30 episodes.

I compared episode 34 in the Chinese version and it was 20 minutes behind episode 30 the subbed version in the story-line. Its likely the English-subbed version divides the story differently so the missing time is probably a lot less than the 4x40 min you indicated.

An exceptionally talented actress. Big fan.

I would suggest you wait because S1 finishes on a cliff-hanger.

One kiss scene iirc.. romance with Lin Qi is important to the ML (as he falls in love with her at first sight in the 3rd episode) but story line focuses on a lot of other things. As a romance lover myself, I was satisfied with the attention the drama gave to their relationship.

WRTW is my favourite drama, but I also very much enjoyed 'Joy of Life', 'Sword Snow Stride' and 'Legend of Fei' - maybe one of those will be to your liking too :)

P.S I see you've watched a lot of classic Kdramas. If you haven't seen 'Crash Landing on You', it definitely belongs to that list!

Another 10/10 episode! Loved every bit of episode 14! 🤩
