hahaha!

Yes, but if you get a chance and time, you should re-watch the uncut version too, because you would have understood the Li Chen Yin character better and why he did what he did. The cut version makes us hate Li Chen Yin because we couldn't understand him.

If it makes you feel any better, I finished this drama almost three months ago, until today, my body is still trying to find my soul back, and make blood to nourish it. I have indulged myself in binge watching other dramas just to get my mind off this one (just like those who indulge in alcoholic drink to forget). The pain still lingers.

Maybe Rong Le ends up with Fu Chou, who knows!

Rong Qi doesn't give the impression like a 'real' brother to Rong Le; she is more like a lover to him. Fu Chou comes across to have more desire for Rong Le than Wu You does. The relationship between Rong Le and Wu You is just too cordial, like good friends, instead of lovers. Sigh! What a mess!

It is true that in almost all Chinese dramas, boys meet girls through girls falling and boys catching them, and they both stare into each other's eyes for eternity. Come on, can't the writers think of something new? Girls don't fall that easily.

Makes one's heart wrench.

I cried at the last scene when Zhong Ye Ye meets his lost love, all those lost years .... So heart-wrenching!

Absolutely! I concur.

Who is the actress playing Hao Mei Li? She is a wonderful actress! Despite her character initially, I come to like her a lot.

It is unfair to judge a drama based on the look of the actors, and not on their acting skills. Though look is important in today's world, it's not everything. Furthermore, Aarif Rahman is handsome and talented as a person. It is unfair to slander him just because some viewers do not like how he looks.

Yep! I agree. Wu You seems to be too 'perfect'. He doesn't seem to have to pay any price, apart from losing Rong Le in the beginning of the story, for whatever decisions he makes; he always gets what he wants; things always work out for him. Whereas for Fu Chou, whatever he does, even with good intention, it always turns bad. So much so that, he becomes numbed to the results he gets, and doesn't get mad anymore; he, kind of, knows he'll always get the lower hand and accepts all the consequences. The writers are unfair - they are too kind to Wu You and too cruel to Fu Chou.

And she (HengXiang) is likely Rong Le's sister. So, he can't get Rong Le, let's settle with sister. Win-win situation.

Yes, Deng Lun is such a darling. The first time I saw him was in Because of You. I thought he was a teenager (sorry fans).

Aarif Rahman is new to me. But he is so good looking.

Likewise! I'm totally in love with him, like it or not.

I agree to what you're saying. I had the same issues too with the main male lead when I first watched this drama. It was so hard to get over him, thinking (like you), is he smart or stupid? Yes, it was confusing, and it did leave me with anger most of the time. If you read the earlier threads, you would see me together with many, venting out our anger towards Li Chen Yin. We called him names. However, towards the end, many of us forgave him, just like Xiao Feng did. I feel his character is best analyzed by one viewer:

If you have time, it is a well written article analyzing this character, a joy to read.

Happy drama watching.

Same here!

Yes, I'm hooked to this drama which was almost dropped initially because I was too impatient. The opening of the drama put me off, but then 2 episodes in, I was hooked.

I love the seriousness of this drama. There are no annoying, stupid nor silly characters. No stupid exchanges. No unnecessary misunderstandings except those that due to the flaws of the characters themselves. There is good character development.

The sword fight choreography is simply beautiful, so authentic and gracious. The wushu scenes are executed almost flawlessly with beautiful and elegant sequences and postures by the main leads. There are no stupid colorful fireworks (literally) when people fight, just real authentic sounds and movements.

The romance is intense and sensual, and the hatred is convincing. The second male lead plays a controversial character which adds colors to the story; most viewers hate and love him. I love the story with strong male leads and strong female lead. It is so satisfying to see a strong female lead who is kind and at the same time, has the ability to protect herself and others because she can really fight (tired of those girls who try to be heroines but put others into danger trying to protect them).

One can tell the production team has put in a lot of effort in taking care of the details. There are not that many holes and mismatched timeline. It is a drama well done.

For me, if I put myself in the other shoe, I would be devastated to find out the person I love has not spent his final precious time with me because he tries to spare me the pain of his leaving the world. I would have wanted the pain for my eternal memory of him.

I guess different men love differently. For Wu You, his love is to let go. For Fu Chou, his is possessive. We may consider the 2nd type of love not real love. But in real life, this seems to be the type of love we experience with many men. I rarely see Wu You's type of love.
