She’s only mute, not deaf. She told Keanu wannabe this when they met.

I'm the opposite, I prefer Sun Joon's personality over Cheng Jun hehe. It made him a little more dimensional, whereas here Cheng Jun is kind of flat and boring in my opinion. Though admittedly, I do not mind looking at Wei Long's face for a long time so I don't mind it lol. The characters acknowledged it a few times that she's pretty and girly for a guy so I think inside they do think she looks like a woman. Since in those times, it's a major crime for a woman to do something like this, it never crossed their mind that any woman would dare do so. So I give them a pass for not making her look "manlier" and everyone just accepts that she's a man.

I read that they bought the copyright to the manhwa that Sungkyunkwan Scandal was based on so this isn’t plagiarizing.

The reason she changed her mind after and tried to get expel is because she heard it would be a beheading if she was discovered to be a female infiltrating a male school.

Oh nice!

That solo Qiling fight scene was worth putting up with the cringey romantic parts. I hate it whenever they have alone time together. I don’t like how they’re splitting up the focus and giving so much screen time to those two.

I wish they'd release the episodes on a more daily schedule. Waiting 5 days in between new episode release is truly torturous for this kind of suspenseful drama. I highly suggest anyone who hasn't started to wait until all episodes are out.

Same name

Lol they definitely don’t know what Mary Sue means. It’s a natural progression and good reasons why these guys all fall for her. It’s definitely three with the team captain too now lol. The ending of Ep 16 had me laughing and smiling because it’s cute and hilarious at the same time how Zhenyu mistook the gifts as hers.

You're welcome. Better to support the dramas at their official sites because the other sites are just pirates waiting to take their subs, that's why they're slow.

Have you tried watching on iQIYI’s official app or website? They release 2 new subbed eps everyday for non VIP members.

Agree. The fact that she actually went after that girl to get back the money she borrowed definitely doesn’t make her a Mary Sue. Mary Sue would’ve probably played a saint and let her keep it because she “needed” it. I really love the friendship development between all the girls. Liang Shuang and Jia Bao might turn into a really good “sismance”. All the guys they’re being paired with seem really sweet as well. I’m rooting for Xiaoguo and Bao’s lil bro rather than the CEO.

I'm actually watching Joy of Life just to see what the hype is about but I'm still snail pacing it for some reason. I was on the fence about watching Ancient Detective and Miss Truth so thanks for the recommendation. I will definitely check them out now since I have similar taste to yours :) Will try out Under the Power and Handsome Siblings, too. I just remember loving Jimmy Lin and Alex Su's version of Handsome Siblings back in the days so I wasn't sure about watching this new version.

I’m in the middle of watching JoL so I don’t have an opinion on it. I will say the fact that he’s essentially telling the story from a book is keeping me from fully immersing in it. Also hesitant to finish it since we have to wait years for the next parts.

We're in such a drought. There hasn't been any more truly excellent costume Cdrama(wuxia/xianxia) in what feels like years. I'm so nervous, but really anticipating the new Return of the Condor Heroes remake.

My exact thoughts. I would’ve been happy if he’d only lived those six months like it was said and then Yun Luo can carry on with their kid. I feel let down after the initial high. Need to go watch NIF again.

That whole stand-off with Su Xuan dying, I could somewhat understand. It was all the outcast sects against Jin Xu and his clique. The outcasts got a bad rep because of what he framed them for and it took Su Xuan taking that sword stab in front of everyone for the rest of Jin Xu's clique to back off and not take his side anymore. So I think the purpose of that was to clear their names (Su Xuan and the Yun Dang Seven Bandits) and like you said, get close to him.

I agree, the poisoning Yun Luo part was completely pointless and dumb, just for angst's sake. Considering that after they spent the night together, she specifically asked Qing Ci if there's something going on. If there is, to let her in on it. They could've done what they did at Chi Yansha with the powder in the clock tower. They could've skipped all the angst in between the poison scheme and flash back later to show that Yun Luo was actually in on it. Instead of making her think he killed her sifu so she can give her I don't ever want to see you again speech and try to kill him for the the 20th time. Teenagers, lol.

I don't know what happened after episode 30, but it feels like another writer took over or something and the drama doesn't have the same flow as it did the first 2/3. Good thing I like how the ML is being played, so I'm still invested in what will happen to him by the end.

Any time you see anyone styled like this in future dramas, you'll automatically know he's heading for sickly and dying territory. They could've at least left out the fur part.

I love it too. I've been loving the whole progression of all his hairstyles actually. Great job by the wig stylist.
