Not bald yet the preview trailer before shows her in the hat, the three might meet in Beijing soon

Hu Fei so smart to quickly get away and avoiding repair work lol, poor Mr Sun and Xiaomei, not only need to take care of Miao daddy and Miao baby but also need to keep repairing the poor house.........

The trailer hinted that she will die to save him just like in book, and she implied that she liked him more than a sworn sister as she was dying on his chest. It will the saddest scene.

I agree with the above that it is actually wrong credit by MDL

Miao Renfeng is a supporting role in the novel, though he is credited as a 'leading role' in this drama's official weibo, although official promotions will put the three as main role because Miao has little screentime after episode 22

Lin Yushen's title actually literally translated as 'Specially Invited Special Appearance in a Leading Role' HAHAHA

Maybe to show off that the Qing royals in 18th century are keeping up with (weapon) trends too hahaha

Or maybe just to show that martial arts practitioners, no matter how powerful - sadly can't compete with technology 😂

Glue🤭

Yea smaller wuxia following, and the old school style of storytelling is not appealing to some audience, and the drama promotion sucks I heard they used most of their budget for production cost, they couldn't even invest in at least one high level weibo trend.

Miao still have two scenes, based on opening theme and BTS trailer

-captured and tortured by Tian somewhere between episode 34 to 38? (what trick will Tian use this time that he actually succeeded?)
-fighting with Tian and Fu's guards in maybe episode 39, he will meet Hu Fei again at this time

Scarry face and his phantom mask LOL.

Miao won't be onscreen for the next 10 episodes but it's not the last of him, spoiler for future episodes below

Here a raw BTS of some fight scene

At the end the actor also can do some wife-fu acrobatic movements by himself not just substitutes, not bad

Yeah they are great, this drama has a very good action director or choreographer, and the cast+stunt substitutes combination can also deliver the action

I ffw Tian political scenes a lot, so boring and this version is becoming like 2007 version now, whitewashing and adding too much screentime to this character.

Excellent 2 episodes, especially episode 22. Love the Hu Miao fight, it's beautifully choreographed, intense, angsty and very long. This action director is Cao Hua, I think he really wants to make a good wuxia! I don't remember seeing a full wuxia long fight relay like this for a long time. Hats of to the choreographer, director, cinematographer, and the two actors who gave their all. If only all episodes are like this there could be higher ratings and more viewers, but some episodes are quite draggy, and the promotion is too poor! Episode 22 was a great highlight but I don't see the drama team investing on weibo trending search, instead that one infamous vulgar men drama is on hot search list almost everyday.

I feel bad too that Hu just drifted away without saying goodbye or further talks with Miao. Curse the screenwriter if this is the last of their time together since Miao will only be in the sidelines since then.

I don't think there's any interaction between Hu and Miao again, if they follow this novel directly (the other novel doesn't count). From now on the arc will move to the capital where Ma Chunhua and Hu will meet again and involving the prince Fu and a lot of Tian's scheming for power and meetinfmg Yuan Ziyi again.

She will appear tomorrow with her family, new arc starts

This plot only take 8 episodes =1/5 of the total drama LOL I don't know why they promote in the opening theme as if it was a big thing. Watch episode 22 the preview said the misunderstanding will be resolved in tonights update.

But I think the real murderer will only be revealed at the end and then they can take real revenge

The drama celebrates 2 year anniversary today and got into weibo realtime hot list, with many real viewers commenting and reliving their memories, who can predict that a low budget drama with two lesser known(but capable! ) leads at that time can have this long lasting effect 😂

I fell in love with Lusi watching this drama, been watching how she has improved and get to current stage since then, she deserves it ^^

Can add if there are any Xing Fei's?

How is the bromance chemistry? Rong Zishan look so cute here ^^

That's the problem with the original novel too, unlike Heavenly Sword or other Condor Heroes novels it's long winded, has boring arcs, and a pretty flat main character that's why it's an unpopular Jin Yong novel, and become the same problem with this drama's script, especially when they drawn out Tian and Nan Lan's parts too long and whitewashed them clean when Jin Yong has warned NOT to.

The drama overall is still a better one among the recent wuxias, and it is a rare purebred orthodox wuxia, its advantage lies in its classic wuxia athmosphere, action scenes, cinematography all the behind the scenes which went better than expected, but the storyteling could be better and less drawn out. They should've condensed this into a 24 episode drama, cut Tian and Nan Lan's romance shorter, and focus onto the original summary of Hu Fei becoming the people's hero while seeking his revenge. Yuan Ziyi and Cheng Lingsu are the main characters, can't cut them.

Let me spoil here, most of Hu Fei's revenge arc against Miao Ren Feng is in episode 18 to 22, other than the initial 4 episodes of teenage Hu Fei.
