YSX's flexibility is such a plus for filming these fight scenes. It's so nice to see the actors doing those kind of moves themselves. I hope she'll pick more martial arts role in the future.

I didn't mind it so much when they cut it if that was the only reason for it. Honestly, I'd feel aggrieved too if I was GSJ if that was used as a reason why he was given the SW position without experiencing the same trials as the others have. But now I do mind that they cut it because it logically explains how he's able to master the techniques so quickly. It prevents naysayers from saying he only learned it so fast because he has ML plot armor. Anyway, in my mind, I know that fact exists(if only in a bts clip and novel form), so I am good with what's shown on screen going forward.

This is all the more reason why they should've left the detail about him having a photographic memory in earlier. I assume seeing the demonstration and was able to memorize it also helped speed up his learning process in addition to the notes left by his father. It took child Master Xue 4 years to create and his assistant 7 years to learn. GZY already learned 2 of the 3 in just a few days.

You're welcome!

YSX and ZLH's livestream with subs is here, auto-translated but close enough 🙂. Her nickname for him is Niu Niu (Ox Ox) because there's a meme going around from cnetz that his singing voice sounds like an ox mooing 😂.

Noticed how proud he looked that YWS knew to make a hand to hand exchange

Knew you would appreciate that lol

For no.2, if you rewatch the trailer carefully with slowed speed, it wasn't YWS who attacked GZY, but the Wufeng lady from the pavilion. Looks like she will join the next bride selection ceremony. The way they cut the scenes made it look like YWS was the one who did it, but you can see she was helping him get away in another scene later.

Latest melon is Story of Kunning Palace will air after this. So that's where I would move on to next if it's true.

Looks like we will move on to the next trial tomorrow, finally. I'm not impatient for anything else, but to see these trials is what I look forward to. Through them, we get more glimpses of the back hill people and they're so fascinating.

I think that's a good plan and will be hard to do

I unfortunately was spoiled by social media so this wasn't shocking to me. Oh the joys of watching spoiler-free lol

With the way they end episodes, I bet nobody will be able to sleep at the end of ep. 23 having to wait until the next day for the finale 😂

😂😂 This drama is not for the impatient

Either way, I'm nervous the drama will bomb by the end. I haven't heard the greatest things about GJM's storytelling based on his previous dramas.

I agree and would be disappointed if his character goes this route. One fool in love is enough and it makes sense with the character building of GZY. But for GSJ, it wouldn't fit.

He probably read his sister's romance novels too 🤭

It shows that GZY was willing to let the issue go and not make a big deal out of it. Another contrast on the nature of his character versus GSJ. Too bad GSJ is too blinded by his prejudice to realize this and that the better path is to work together to solve the Wufeng problem rather than being antagonistic against your own clansmen.

I try not to think too hard about it and just enjoy it as it's revealed to me. If I do I will also turn into 😵‍💫 I might pop in if something really makes my brain itch later on 😂

We don't know how many generations back the Gong clan has been established. Maybe this will be details revealed later.
The elders don't appear to be Gongs but the guardians from the back hill. We just know them as Feng Hua Xue Yue.
So we have elder Feng, elder Hua, elder Xue, elder Yue.
Elder Yue is dead so Young Master Yue came to take his place.
Child Master Xue is in the back hill.
Young Master Hua has a fascination with ZS, so he's hanging with her.
The one missing is Feng.
People speculate that they might have left and established Wufeng.
