Episode 24/Finale Discussion.

I know I'm late to the party since I waited with the regular VIP schedule.

• I was expecting a crazy bloodbath and while several characters did die from both sides, I was honestly expecting more. However, the last few episodes made me care for the Gong family more than I had felt previously. So it's cool that the 4 lineages can work together as the new generation. 
• I absolutely loved all the scenes where characters saw their dead loved ones. I cried when GZY saw them all standing together and then when Yue saw Yun Que and the bird.
• Got a total BL feeling between the two Xue guys. Sad that the one died, but the child actor did an awesome job acting in this show!!
• I don't believe Shangguan Qian is pregnant. I believe she had some feelings for Shangjue but she cannot put anyone else above her love for herself. I wish she died but her character was very interesting and I couldn't bring myself to hate her 100% although I did grow tired of her.
• I dislike the whole twin thing. I have twin girls myself and it's just off-putting to me personally. Lol 
• I don't really understand what exactly the Infinite Fire is. Nor the "infidels" back there. Do they even still exist? At least they explained the significance of the back tattoo. Again, what is so bad about this Infinite Fire that they don't even want to use it against Wufeng? 
• Disappointed that Huanyu turned out to be a villain, even though he had his reason. Everything was revealed nicely.
• I'll have to go back and look, but I think most of my questions were answered. I do think they should've revealed the whole working relationship between the Gong men a few episodes sooner because I really didn't like GZY character much until towards the final episodes. I think many viewers felt the same. He seemed like a better leader at the end but so many things happened behind the scenes that you just saw him being a whiny kid fighting with the other guys in his family.

GHY had the patience of a God who was willing to do a verbal presentation to his relatives-turned-enemies when he was desperate to find YWS in order to use her as a ransom for getting hold of the other half of the Infinite Heat manuscript.

 hafu_girl:

Hahaha. Surprised power point slides weren't shown on the walls during his reveal.

Agree.  I thought that scene was absurd.  I wouldn't wait for him to do that presentation.  I would just catch and send him to jail.  That would be it.

Speaking of the secret path, why aren't there always guards watching the tunnel?? They watched GZY and YWS and Jin Fan and Zishang  use it and told Shangjue, but the rest of the time people have used it... no one seems to be watching.

 Kiie:

There’s a few scenes that were absurd too, when it suppose to be nail bitting moment but the character was there, cool as cucumber, delivering speech. One example was when YWS was trying to escape from Gong residence through the secret path. She had to say a slow goodbye speech first with the whole family and guards there doing nothing, listening patiently to her. lol

That's a grand show from Gong mansion for Shangguan Qian who was eavesdropping  behind. They wanna show that YWS was the last remaining Wufeng spy they wanna kill. In fact, they already knew that SGQ was a Wufeng too. They showed deep discord between the Gongs  so SGQ would ignite the interest of Wufeng's senior to immediately attack Gong mansion. YWS and the Gong men planned carefully to lure Wufengs to the Gong territory so they could ambush and assassinate them. Too bad only Wang level of Wufeng showed up. The remaining of the most powerful Wufeng were still at large.

hahaha I know that is for SGQ to see. Everything is fine until YWS stopped right infront of the secret door and said goodbye and escape too easily. I find it weird that a smart SGQ couldn’t see through that. But if the script need her to be dumb at that moment, then she be dumb. 😄

I always enjoy your postings!

Anyway I didn't have time to read the entire over 250 comments here, so I will quickly post this.  I saw one theory from my X-follower who told me this.  She thought that the last one female WF who was with bodyguard waiting at the last house is actually the MOTHER of twins! Did you hear this theory? I thought that was interesting. 

Ah thank you for reading. 

Its definitely interesting and equally chilling alhtough I guess in that case YWS probably survives.? The only question would be why did YWS's twin look so terrified?  I do think there is a high chance that both YWS and her twin were either Dian Zhu or Zhuo Mei's children. I think Zhuo Mei is more likely bc she had a lover whereas Dian Zhu sounds more to me like Jin Yong's bitter old spinster Emei sect master. I would like to see maybe a movie or something that wraps up that whole story, I am not sure its worth another 24 episodes.
