Episode 32 recap:

-Was Master Bai not suspicious of YWY? He basically told him all his thoughts, etc. I feel like if he was suspicious he wouldn't have told him so much. He basically signed his death warrant right there.

-ok WTF?!! Seriously, the whole death of Master Bai scene and stabbing of BFX, imo, was poorly written. I honestly believe there is no way, his daughter, Langhua would ever suspect BFX to be her father's killer. I understand she is grieving and upset, but seriously. After all, BFX and HFX even, have done for them while they were in Yongzhou. I mean come one. Is she that stupid and naive, not to even listen to BFX or let BFX see her father's corpse. **thank you Pu for helping figure out the cause of death** Also, I did like how BFX told HFX to not hurt the sect.

-The scene with BFX in HFX's arms "dying" is probably one of the most heartbreaking scenes I have seen in a very very long time. I seriously would probably be bawling my eyes out, if I had not have seen the trailers or knew she wouldn't die. So emotional and you can see the quality of acting right there. Beautifully done!

-So now we know how he got his inner force back. Oh and can't have a costume drama without the I will put the medicine in my mouth, to administer it to you buy kissing you scene.

-I knew his mother was killed, but now we get an idea of how. I am wondering the who now. I wonder if it was YWY as well, but if not, then someone from the Imperial Palace?

-I so hope BFX/XY gets to see her father before he dies.

-HC and HCR have absolutely zero chemistry, if it wasn't for Leon Lai being in that scene I would probably have skipped it. So glad that theirs was only a strategic marriage. I find HCR's character a bit annoying.

-Finally the drawing, she must have done that way before they actually started traveling together, because her drawing of HFX at HCR's palace was completely different. So funny, I love those moments in the series.

Looking forward to tomorrow's episodes, looking to be some action over the next few episodes.

Episode 31 (my recap):

-Prince Chang's legs? All the sudden out of no where he can walk. They were so adamant about him being crippled possibly that he was out of the running for succession and now he just up and walks and helps Lanxi at that. I thought he was trying to stay away from him for fear of retribution from Queen Baili or her making Prince Chang do things he didn't want to.

-I would love to see the behind the scenes of that Go game. The way the camera focused so much on their faces, they had to have some moments. Besides I got close ups of HC which I liked.

-The confession scene under the tree, absolutely beautiful, so touching and no interruptions. (I was kind of expecting the falcon to come interrupt them, lol)

-Favorite quote of the episode: "I'll make sure she's well fed."

-and OMG the king again, seriously, he wants to "pretend" he never had a son like him and Lanxi can't return to Yongzhou. and thanks to the teasers we know the king didn't die from Prince Ju's invasion in episode 34, because we see the king at the wedding in episode 38

-one last thing about this episode... the look on Queen Baili's face when the King said you got what you wanted, all I am thinking is don't get to excited yet Queen Baili.

posting my recap of 32 in another thread

I prefer when he has the long hair down, like when he was in the sick bed, after the near drowning or the episode 28 when his father had the guards strike him. But either way, yes he looks great in ancient costume.

The story is still somewhat good, but all this focus on the artist (2FL) is boring. For some reason her character is really dull to me. I don't see any strife or angst coming from any characters, like backstabbing or deceit, etc, it all seems pretty calm. I honestly prefer the investment side or when the FL and ML are in scenes together. But overall, right now the story and drama has slowed way down. I do hope it picks back up. I did like the scene where they were in the meeting and were all laughing at his socks.

Just started watching this yesterday for the first time. It was recommended from another thread. Anyway currently on episode 5 and I don't usually like these type of dramas, but I am actually really liking this one. So far it has exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to more of it.

I just love her, she is so multi talented.

I almost couldn't get through it. I actually had to fast forward a tiny bit, cause I couldn't watch it, although it was brilliant acting on Yang Yang's part.

I think BFX's master is slowly putting the pieces together. I am going to have to rewatch, because I think I missed some details about it. I know the last thing they heard was the token keeper that most likely created the fake tokens is dead, haven't heard much after that. I think they put most of that on that back burner since Princess Hua Chun Ran aka now the Divine Fairy brought the sanqria (not sure on spelling) on "foot" to the imperial palace and the flowers bloomed, so now the Emperor of Dadong feels somewhat secure and the people supposedly feel better about the Emperor.

I was so happy to see more of HC. Zhao Lu Si's and Leon Lai's scenes together are always so cute. I love them.

exactly, but at the same time if anyone knows anything about acting in, producing or directing you never film the scenes in order. So the real director may have filmed some of the scenes from the final episodes. It is all how they edit it together. It is why we don't see that ghost maid, because of editing. If it is rushed at the end we can only blame the producer and the editor imo.

I agree. If they really wanted to add more episodes they could have done 2 seasons, which is what a lot of dramas have been doing. Like what The Blue Whisper did. It is kind of a work around of the 40 episode limit.

If the previews are any indication, I think yes.

Me too! I couldn't believe he figured it out. I kind of thought, maybe FLX and HC would figure it when she was playing the zither. The look on their faces almost seemed like an aha moment.

A Female Student Arrives at the Imperial College (Zhao LuSi is in it as FL), a lot of people didn't like it, but I thought it was cute and good.

Good points!

I do have to say the ending of ep. 18 was kind of nice, it was getting back on track of what the show was with the investment portion. I am really looking forward to seeing how this investment meeting about Mobi will play out. I also like how his dad basically said him and 2FL were more like brother and sister, they are not right for each other.

Boss & Me (this one is one of my favorites)
Here to Heart
Lucky's First Love
Pretty Li Hui Zhen
The Fox's Summer (another Seven Tan series)
Love is Sweet

These are just a few I like, I know there are several others, but these are the ones I can think of, off the top of my head.

I see that. It seems like he really is more comfortable with FL, says whatever he wants, doesn't hold anything back, etc. But with the 2FL he is walking on eggshells, treating her like broken glass. It is aggravating, because it is total of opposite of how we have seen him in this entire series. He doesn't treat anyone else the way he treats the 2FL and I hate it. I am also surprised he is letting her stay in his house. He hasn't seen her in years and she can just stay with him, I thought he didn't like anyone in his house.

I am in the middle of episode 17 and all sudden it has become boring for me. I am co sidering fast forwarding through these scenes with the 2FL, I think she is boring. Even when Tian, CYH, LJM and her were all sitting around the table talking it was boring. So far she has yet to bring anything to this drama. All her scenes have been very dull.

yes I was going to say, she does play a semi villainess role in Untouchable Lovers, which basically was her first drama, she did really good in it. Also, if you haven't watched the movie Autumn Fairy Tale, I highly recommend it. She was superb in it. She had a wide range of different emotions, very very good. I don't usually watch movies, but this one I would recommend.
