I haven't finished watching, but I could understand the high rating and why it won 4 golden apples in the recent…
Birds of a feather! This expresses my thoughts so well. I only got into Cdramas last year and what a treasure trove, with LBL topping everything I've seen so far. Enjoy the rest of this masterpiece!
I'm stunned at how amazing ep 26 was! That fighting scene was short but so epic! Chang Yue was amazing what a badass! Wow. And her reaction after seeing her husband for the 1st time as the marquis. That was so well done. This is the ultimate like historical wuxia intrigue romance cdrama, the plot, chemistry, eye candy, everything omg.
What happened to Deng Kai?!? He went from geeky villain in LotDT to slaying this psychopath dark lord role. I almost didn't recognize him! Definitely has range.
They're horrible 😡 I don't know if they're going to give a back story and make viewers sympathize but too much psychopathic inhuman behavior, it's inexcusable. The 2 bros are handsome though NGL.
Can you believe the director is the one that did the Double? I mean that was so good, yet this is so bad. I can't…
Now it makes sense, seeing that Yu Zheng produced Yanxi Palace. Definitely GtG direction & production messed this up. What a disservice to the original novel & to the cast - especially ZYR, who acted his heart (and eyes) out. I feel so disappointed.

The double is one of my top cdramas too! I was so affected by it that I read the novel just to continue the story. Gtg should have gotten the same team.
even though I’m disappointed with the execution and ending of GtG, I don’t regret watching since there were enjoyable moments like the snowy mountain arc and MQY scenes. I started the novel and so far it’s better!
Jaysus! I'm boycotting this director and scriptwriter. WTF did I just watch?! This ending was so stupid. Mu Qingyan…
Can you believe the director is the one that did the Double? I mean that was so good, yet this is so bad. I can't believe it's the same guy! What happened to his artistic sense? Maybe it's his team and he just didn't have much of a say in the end. What a travesty because this could have been so good.
Slowly finishing this, now on ep 34 and just wanted to say,
what was up with CZ abandoning Yuzhi to die at the hands of her shifu? Does she have that much confidence that Yuzhi can fight back? Then after leaving, she flew away on the Peng bird presumably to go see if Lingbo is ok, but then she ended up forgetting about her and going to the garden to reflect on her memories as a child being taken care of by shifu! Where is her sense of urgency!?
I thought this would improve towards the end but the storytelling is too sloppy and I am feeling so frustrated and unsatisfied and actually shocked by how it is turning out like this. Anyway I see Too many negative points, plotholes & inconsistencies in characters and I don't know how if ep 35-37 can turn things around?!?
Honestly atp the best, most memorable thing about GtG is ZYR as MQY who really carried this viewing experience for me. I also enjoyed Cheng Hong Xin as You Guan Yue (he stood out in Moonlight Mystique & How Dare You? too!). That's about it!
Which episode does it reveal that the man in black is Qi Yunke?
Spoilers for the end of the drama show it is him, also in the novel (though I wasnt' sure if they were going to stick to the novel).
His character doesn't make sense, and another thing too that didn't make sense was how he was kidnapped during the face swap arc! I guess it only makes sense since the Li sect didn't know the identity of the MIB, so possible for him to be kidnapped. BUT if he's so powerful, how did he allow himself to be kidnapped and placed in the coffin?
I just started reading the novel so maybe it'll explain better what happened!
In epi 32, it's hard to believe that Qi Yun Ke is the MIB while watching him give his approval to Lingbo & Fengchi to marry! How can he appear to be such a concerned father & caring shifu but then just ruthlessly kill the Huangsha sect and so many others? What a disconnect in this villain's character! It reminds me of the Glory with Chen Du Ling and how the villainous mastermind there is her father, which didn't make sense at all since completely inconsistent with his actions & character.

And wow ZLH 😍 so great to see him in a period piece again!
