Shangguan Tou and Chong Xue Zhi are OTP, and Mu Yuan is the spoilsport.

I can understand what the director is trying to do here: he wants us to understand that Shangguan Tou and Chong Xue Zhi are a real couple. They love each other so much that even without being together physically, their hearts are together. Fine. I get it. The problem is, we've already known that the two are OTP after the first 2 episodes. The screenwriter & director don't have to keep telling us as if we're 1st graders (no intention to humiliate 1st graders); they are not respecting the intelligence of the viewers. For the 30 episodes so far, Shangguan Tou has told 2nd daddy he loves Chong Xue Zhi, and 2nd daddy has repeated the same words back to Shangguan Tou. This is done multiple times to and fro. Then Shangguan Tou also has told his sister he loves Chong Xu Zhi, and his sister repeats the same words back to him, yeah, multiple times. Then he tells all his friends he loves Chong Xu Zhi, and they all repeat the same words back to him, multiple times. Sigh. Hello, Director Ho, how many more times do you want to repeat these sames words to us to brainwash us before you move the story along? Oil is coming out from my ears if I continue to listen to these sames words again.

After 30 episodes, nothing much has changed. Still waiting..... Still talk and, yeah, more talk. I'm growing old.

Yeah, I've been searching information on the actor too. So far no luck. If you see anything let me know. :)

This one here is really scary because he's unmatchable and brutal; he's really like a 'boy ghost'.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm checking it out.

The dwarf really freaks me out and I was like yelling for someone to watch with me. XD

I don't mind him being status quo because he has a brilliant brain and a life saving skill. These are more than enough to make him a perfect character. He doesn't die even if he doesn't know how to fight because he is very quick witted and knows how to save himself. Furthermore, someone will always protect him all the time.

I guess they just need something that is so important that one can give up one's life to re-acquire it, whatever it maybe. In this case the map :) How far in are you now?

Let talk over at Love in Between. Currently, not many people are watching it because I guess they're waiting for subs. But I need some one to talk to and discuss. Watching alone is no fun :)

Yeah, I watch every nano second of the series, never skip a beat. Though as much as I love romance stories, I think the director is over stretching it a bit to make up the 48 episodes. The whole story becomes going round and round and round, with talks and more talks, and no results. I'm sure the gist of the story is beautiful, and I love the 2 main leads too. It's just the composition of the story, among other things, that is not right for me, and perhaps also for many viewers.

I believe my criticism is constructive and I'm in no way trying to offend any fans. So please don't take it to heart.

A lot of good actors cannot realize their potential if the director is mediocre. As many times as I roll my eyes, I'm still trying to maintain my patience because I love watching a powerful couple combating their adversary hand in hand. I'm still waiting for that moment, holding my breath (so that I don't lash out and drop the series). I hope I don't have to hold it for too long.

BTW, thank you for your recommendation on Love in Between. It's an awesome drama that all wuxia fans should be watching. Too bad it's not been officially English subbed yet.

Oh, by the way, there's some subtle humor, nothing comedic. Really good.

Watched all the aired episodes (12) in 2 days. My verdict - super good, genuine wuxia drama. Intriguing storyline, beautiful fighting scenes, amazing acting and authentic makeup, good OST, great camerawork, wonderful romance, and sweet bromance. Most of all, no annoying high pitched voice girls, at least not yet. Has all the virtues in a wuxia story. Fabulous female characters - strong, determined, fearless and upstanding.

A MUST-WATCH.

Yay! So my rambling mishit gets the bullseye! Imagine that XD

I don't mind about the dialogues if they happen and get over with. But, the dialogues keep coming back and they keep saying the same thing over and over again, yawn!

Yeah, the lotus flower has appeared on his arm, he should become very powerful from now on. But then, they say he's going to fall off the cliff. Heck!

IKR, and where is Wu Ming all this time?

The lotus appears on his arm. He's going to be powerful now, er, maybe after he dies. IDK. :(

Exactly! I don't even know the purpose of introducing these characters in the first place. They are killed off too soon before they even serve any purpose. Shaking my head.
