He's so good as a villian. They did a wonderful job casting!

Think it is a nickname for the eunuch/chief preceptor Cai Wen Zong. If you have watched episode 22, it was mentioned he, the old emperor, Tiemo King and Cai Weng Zong used to be friends. As of now, we don't know much about him other than he lending a hand in rescuing Genergal Gu Yu and may have been the writer of the book King Tiemo has searched for years.

I reall like him in the short drama Extremely Perilous Love. He's a good actor.

I don't think he thought that far ahead. He was so set in his personal vendetta and now it is over, he's confused as to where and what he should do next. On episode 22 when he was back at his old house boiling a pot of tea, he saw his dad across the table and they were talking. To me, he was having an internal battle and inner dialogue of what he should do next. Should he not do anything since he already accomplised what he set out to do or should he fight for national security? This will take him on a different trajectory which is not his original goal. He is mentally exhausted and ready to die. Maybe death was his end game but at this point, he is questioning what he should do next.

You will get a lot of your questions answered in episode 20.

Thank you! Good to see you here. I always go to your Youtube channel for the Eng sub! I am a fan!!

Oh him!! Thank you!!

I can't wait to find out how the end play out but honestly I am scared to see it end. I know for sure I will go through major drama withdrawal syndrome. I am new to MDL and this is the first drama I am fully invested in discussing with this community. It's been so fun dissecting and predicting the outcomes with everyone here. Not sure when I will get to do it again but thank you everyone!

I didn't see episode 22 today so wondering if we can pay extra for it. LOL

Wow!! This is so cool. Love the dedication and thank you so much for sharing.

I don't believe there is an express??

I agree many important but smaller scenes were cut out to make sure they met the requirements but still able to tell the story seamlessly without leaving too many loopholes. I think we won't be feeling so overwhelmed by seeing one quick death after another if they have kept all of the scenes but then honestly if they didn't, the drama won't be as intense as it it. I feel like I am high on a roller coaster ride. LOL

I thought Wang Pu was ruthless but SCL is another level of pyshco.

Cai Wenzong got mentioned on episode 21 but I don't remember this character?? When or where else was he or she mentioned? Who is this person?

I agree he is not a skilled fighter as portrayed in the scenes when he used the shovel to hit fake ZM, a bowl to knock out the old shop man and a small knife to stab people.

I was so engrossed in the drama yesterday, I forgot to eat breakfast and lunch. LOL

Lots of tears in episode 21. As of today, I don't know what will happen.

Good point.

This drama requires your full attention, patience and careful analysis as a viewer. If you don't pay attention to the details, you will miss something and feel out of place. You might have to go back to rewatch a few episodes or scenes to connect the dots. I find this drama so thrilling and engaging! I love that I am not the only person who is predicting the next plot. So thankful to have everyone talking and discussing the drama in MDL.

I don't believe he does. He may know how to defend himself but he can't fight. Dude can barely handle the old man in episode 20.
