Loving this so far…. But her helper…. Lol. Or the FL’s childhood ‘pu Ren’/‘nu bi’ legit talks a lot….. lol. Randomly. 😳 Peng Xiao Ran is really brought the character to life… I don’t know, don’t find her super beautiful but somehow she just makes you want to ‘be with her’…

Lol, good quote for Immortal Samsara as an analogy…. I watched the first arc and literally ended up being shocked until my jaw-dropped. I dropped it after it went into the mortal arc… the difference was just too extreme/abrupt.

I paused this one at 29 eps because I had a feeling the last arc will go into 50 shades of crazy… so I wanted to wait until all eps completed. Reading all the latest comments again… and taking a peek at the last ep… it does become very odd. Going to just drop this and stop at the memory of 29 eps. Sighs, sad. It was sooooo good in the first 29 eps.

😳😳😳 that’s a lot of books………. 🤣

Ah, the names…. That’s the thing about the Chinese language… wot I meant is…. Uh… because of the 1 character vs multi-character thing… so like I only know of Feng Huang = phoenix… lol. And hence why I can’t recognise names in movies/shows as well even when they verbally say it. There is no difference to me… thus initially I was like Yun Xiang… huh wait, isn’t that the name of the sect. Shitz no. That’s Yun Tai…. Uhhh… 🤔 and Guanghui Zhuang… why on Earth is Zhuang = Bank? It is so not true….. when it is a standalone character, how am I spsed to know that’s the name of a bank?!? 🤣

Like John has no meaning in English. I mean names are usually a variation of Greek, Hebrew, Latin words with meaning to it. But there is no such thing as variation in meaning of one alphabet vs. Words… and there is no direct meaning to John.

lol. Yeap but it’s still a very good deduction! I like! 👍🏼

Gosh, I loved JoL…. The overall cast is VERY important. Yeap, twists and wild/odd-ball, my type of thing! I really liked SSS too. Also amazing casting. Ah, I didn’t know about the plot thingy. That’s unfortunate….. but SSS was shorter than JoL by quite a bit, so I spse it’s no surprise.

I usually turn to the novels because the curiosity kills me. BUT for these kinda strategy themed ones I don’t coz I’m really bad with Chinese names, I can’t remember them…. So I won’t be able to tell A from B like midway of the novel already. 🙇🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I was thinking of reading this one as well to spoil the ending for myself… but there isn’t a complete Eng translation.

Gosh yes!! JoL S2!! And did you see, they miraculously managed to get the same cast!! Which is almost unheard of for Mainland dramas!!! Yayyy!!! SSS yea, S1 didn’t get that type of popularity/hype… I was so sad.

Lol, I’ve not come across sucha intricate and multi-dimensional plot ever since Joy of Life… it truly excites me. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 It’s not the exact same feeling as JoL… but it is a solid contender. SSS didn’t match up in terms of plot for me, but it did in other sense….

I truly think your wild guess isn’t that wild. Would call it a deduction, lol. I actually think it’s highly plausible!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ehhhhh!! Maybe that is REALLY wot happened. 🤣🤣 do you not think the whole situation with Wen Cong and her is kinda mysterious? Maybe it’s legit from the paternal side. Not even kidding. Hahaha

I legit think that ending is possible. Coz you remember the scene whereby her brother talked about how each is trying to adopt the main traits of the other side? And then he mixed the water/tea on the table together…. And said, oh wouldn’t it be funny if we all end up as one big happy fam….

Thanks!!

Ah no. Not that relationship. But wrt that, no they are not blood related. Think she just called him that due to seniority. He works for her father. (All courtesy of the relationship chart, hope you didn’t consider this one as a spoiler).

Was saying there is an arrow between YX and Liu.

You managed to get Google translate to read it!! Ok. Thanks!!

No. Never…. I don’t think I’ve watched him before… lol, I will try to look for a short clip, am curious.. lol, thanks!

Ah ok, they did hide the main spoiler though, so there’s no arrow between Ya Nan and the Kuo family. Sighs, I still can’t figure out the 2 words on the chart.

Oh, did you see the relationship chart? There is an arrow between Liu GongChan and YX, which surprised me… do you know wot the 2 characters there translate to? 🤓 I’ve been trying to figure it out coz I’m so curious, but to no avail. 🤣

I just realised… that…. YX actually ‘fulfilled’ his master’s wishes….. regarding the fate of Su family…. 😳 I mean he didn’t fulfil precisely, but it was close or kinda has the same meaning. I thought he was lying when he promised his master. 🤣

Lol, truly deserving of the title, he really is the Ingenious One…. 👏🏻

Kim Woo Bin…. His voice…. Like wow…. Did they alter his voice slightly….? It most defo is sultry 🤣 and he’s actually really good at action scenes, it for sure looks very believable…

I mean I only know of like Lee Sun-kyun‘s reaaalllyyyy magnetic voice… and maybe Jeremy Tsui places second.

Ah… ok. Got it. 👍🏼 Yea, it could either be a spotlight or a downplay depending on how they’ve termed/worded it. I need to go check who Wang Jin Song is now… 🤣

Because they would have had to acquire the land by private agreement with every individual existing owner… or relocate them… Instead of doing it through proper channels, they massacred… which cost 0, 100% fill rate and it is just branded as an unsolved case. I’m deducing this is also why MingYu’s sister ‘gave him’ all the wealth and power… because that was the only known cause… and that is the only thing left of it. Which is also why YX can’t seem to accept it as an answer because it was such a heinous crime just for money… Logically there should be more as to why it happened, which is wot the sister insinuated before she left……

Also they actually didn’t make it clear whether it was even legally allowed…. He just said it was illegal to spread rumours regarding the maritime ban. But regarding the land thing, I’m not even sure they are allowed to purchase occupied land. If they aren’t, it would also explain the massacre.

He couldn’t because the entire village is meant to be ‘dead’… so previously he didn’t know why…. And also didn’t know who… It could be people still wants the entire Luo village dead for some unknown reason. So until he can really figure out why and who, he isn’t exactly ‘safe’. Think he’s still unsure if he can fully disclose it now with the answer he got from Su family. It depends if it is the entirety of the ‘bigger picture’ which is something he’s starting to doubt. So I think he will still hide this identity. The ring just proves his identity….

Yes, I also think the political storyline will surface soon… probably connected… maybe not the Luo family specifically, but the whole land thing is probably a chess piece in a bigger plot..

Totally can’t wait for that to unfold…. But more importantly…. How on Earth is she going to sort everything out… with all sides and all parties… 🤓 it’s not only YX. She doesn’t want to give up her family. And how is she going to face all these newfound friends she has made…. 🤔

But something I’ve been wondering all along…. The Su family orphan…. Wen Chong saw her before he passed. And actually recognised her as said identity. I still don’t understand how she pulled that off…. Or why he recognised her.

I was just about to ask about Qin Lan…. And I read this… still can’t believe she’s a guest role…. The definition of guest role is sure….. wide/subjective… 🤣 Defo against the norm.

I’m surprised they are defining it by her ‘disappearing’ from the series. That’s the only thing I can think of.

🤔 sorry if I’ve offended you… I didn’t mean Chinese people are stupid… that’s not wot I meant, wot I meant was geographically the entire country is so vast and huge on top of the massive population, I wouldn’t expect the same level of advancement for every city, province and village to happen at the exact same time. Things truly take time to progress even though all the things you’ve mentioned, they are at par with many other countries.

Of course I’m aware that they wanted to uphold their political image and that is the other reason that they’ve banned Google etc. Hence why I said it was part of the reason.

Wot makes you think I’m not Chinese…. 😔

Ok, no need to get mad over this. My bad. Sorry about it. Will delete the comment above considering you misunderstood and hide this one.

They don’t…. it’s more of they can’t…. This drama is so not about romance. Though chemistry between the 2 leads is enticing. Lol. Which makes it kinda sad.
