Very glad to see someone points this out. I'm just as surprised BIG TIME that China allows this show to air. It certainly shows that time has changed and the CCP is more lenient and forward thinking now, especially their tolerance level in airing the dirty laundry.

It irks me when I come across postings sometimes from mainland Chinese who claimed profusely that they have freedom. But they don't know what real freedom is, and sometimes, explaining not having to live in fear over reading widely read books such as Pride and Prejudice and Catcher in The Rye, is true freedom. They had been so conditioned in their socialist/communist world that they don't know better. I'm sure I'll be getting heat for posting this from some people.

My family also got their property seized in a communist country. All the things shown in the drama, my family also had experienced. We also know people who go sent to "re-education."

This aside, I really enjoy watching this drama. The scriptwriter is able to draw out the positives in a bad situation; and it's such a healing to the soul when tough issues are resolved.

He's indeed a jokester. He cracks me up with his mannerism.

Just finished today's ep 12/13. I'm loving FL so much. She's so level headed. Her intelligence and astuteness is on par with Huang Rong from The Legend of the Condor Heroes in the Wuxia/Jianghu realm. She tricked her way out of trouble with the Li Sect's members/elders multiple times, weaving half truth-half false stories. As a matter of fact, I like our FL more than Huang Rong because she's not as prickly. She deserves all the admirers, and of course, ML's🥰

He's so happy when he found out she's on her way to help him.

It goes back to their "money exchange/dealing" history since they were kids. That's why this move works in the drama for them.

They are not uncles related by blood. It's just a way to address an older man who's the same age/level as your parents, especially if the "uncle" is someone you've interacted with before or is in the same circle/community as you/your parents.

I don't think so. But the master loves her aunt.

Hahaha...FL compared ML to a proud white goose!

There have been lots of complaints about the poor and choppy edits, leading to disconnection. That scene was a prime example. Much wasn’t explained sometimes. Viewers would have to work things out. I understand your frustration.

My understanding is that he was exposed from the food/drinks because the saliva was poured into the well.

The clearing pill was just something else. Lady Yi wanted to test if the imposter was who she thought he was ( the original person who gifted her the clearing pill). He didn’t use it because he still had feelings / respects for her.

I watched with high focus and still had to rewind at some parts. 😂

I actually like it more than Unveil: Jadewind. I'm having a hard time finishing up U:J even when TWO of my top actress/actor are in it. It's been sitting in my "watching" bucket. I went straight to watch the last 2 episodes which I rarely do since ep 19.

Generation to Generation starts out slow for the first 4-5 eps, but it picks up after that. Some people in the forum strongly dislike the drama because it seems to lack a plot to them. There is a plot, they just don't see it. Hope you enjoy.

in about 7 1/2 hrs

Here..Hold onto the tissues.

I don't think it's happening in 2 hours. The countdown was wrong yesterday, so I believe it's more like 9hours instead of 2. Of course, I'm praying for 2.

Didn't read the novel, but almost 90% certain ML and FL will be together in the end HAPPILY!! 🥰

How do I know? HK/Cdramas experienced-watcher . 😁

Running it on the background will definitely get you lost on this one. =) I do enjoy this series though. Hope you like it, too.

True, there's always a love child here and there, showing up 20 years later.

She was good in Youthful Glory, but she's best in here. I had to drop Whispers of Fate. I've watched Zhou Yi Ran in both main and support roles, but he truly shines in here. They are both at the top of their games in this one.

I know people dislike why so many characters are being introduced yet they seemingly play only a small part in the story.

This is actually a defining hallmark for wuxia genre storytelling, especially those crafted by the legendary Jin Yong and Gu Long. It's extremely common to introduce a massive, sprawling cast of characters, many of which whom play only minor roles. Its purpose is to create a rich, immersive world of the "jianghu" world-building. If you have watched/read enough wuxia, you know there are always jianghu, multiple sects, alliances, demonic sect, wulin conference, martial arts. The protagonists would journey through the story, delving into the sects, their past secrets, forbidden love stories between the righteous sects vs the demonic sect, etc.

Generation to Generation, so far, as I see it, follows these classic elements of wuxia genre. It even includes pressure point technique to freeze a person. I was so happy to see this because a classic wuxia story would have it.

I'm really enjoying the drama. It's truly is a genre that you either get it or you don't. And if you get it, then you'll love the creativity of the whole jianghu wuxia thing. Just like how JRR Tolkien world-built The Lord of the Rings, it is that amazing.
