Han Li and Nangong Wan?

There are two running gags: Li Feiyu and Oblivion Pills 😁

Oh, so she eventually becomes more important than NGW? And did you mean the second novel? I’ve only heard of two but apologize if I missed something. Thank you for all the information :)

Honestly, they are more trustworthy than typical sect members who are usually out for themselves.

Ah, fair point about the mask muffling voice (in real life; in drama it sounds the same). And I will trust you about them barely interacting in school — drama seemed to imply they knew each other better (especially since ML’s dad gave FL the sword), but maybe it was an assumption on my end.

Best comparison is to think of sects as large companies. Those companies don’t care about workers, especially low-level workers, and only care about profits and making executives happy. Han Li is like an entry-level worker who lucked into a job and now has to prove himself just to stay employed. And like any job, not all coworkers are good people.

Yes, I’m glad I’m not the only one seeing the similarities to how things are in the real world & jobs and with sects.

Thank you very much for the information! HL made the best choice given what he knew at the time and, realistically, it doesn’t sound like it’d have been possible for him to be together with her and solve the root mystery (would’ve taken too long). Still, reincarnated Mo becomes his second (?) wife or something like that, correct?

Do you mean Epiaode 22? There is no Ep. 23 yet.

She’s Moon Princess! 🌖😁

They are all thankful that person is gone and don’t want to ask any questions. Myabe he’s in a cave meditating or something 😉

It depends on your expectations. It’s not a romance drama and it’s not a very emotionally-heavy drama either. It’s like a video game come to life.

The Five Mengs are pretty nice. They would be perfect for a spin-off or a side-story.

Question for experts: is there a reason why FL didn’t recognize ML’s voice when she was blind and, similarly, ML didn’t recognize FL’s voice as that of his old schoolmate (general)? Were there some nuances we couldn’t grasp by only reading subtitles? 🤔

I was just kidding :) I don’t really think they are going to do a wedding here. But you have to admit that so, so many C-dramas have weddings 😁

Yes, there’s an animated version (“donghua”). It’s made by the same team as this drama. So a lot of people watch donghua and some have mentioned it’s better than the novel because it’s faster paced (relatively speaking). Epaiaode 15 of “remake” donghua (better animation) is where events of drama’s Episode 12 happen. You can watch it here to see the difference — https://youtu.be/gYFQbbLaWH4

There’s a movie 13 Going on 30. In our case, it is 300 Going on 30 😁

FL’s dad is definitely not winning any Father of the Year trophies 🚫🏆

This is the part that’s a little bit murky. I seem to recall people saying NGW will be the one & only true wife and others will be concubine(s) he doesn’t really love. But others have said reincarnated Mo will be second wife. So maybe she will be part of his harem as part of his fondness for Mo but not the one true love like NGW 🤔 Kind of wish donghua was further along so that we could see all of that after the drama ends. But donghua is at 150+ episodes (after 4+ years) and it’s not even at the point of first marriage. At this pace people have estimated it will take 900+ episodes and it will be 2040 when donghua is finished 😳

That was her reaction too — “does he think I’m too old?”. Which, to be fair, is understandable. Our guy is under 30 and she’s ~300. MDL needs to add a tag “Noona Romance” 🤣
