I initially started reading the online translation, but it's going too slow...
The official translation is coming out sometime in October it seems (according to Amazon.com) - so I'm waiting until then...
Maybe if the book sales are good that'll be a HINT to whoever is blocking the airing of the series.

It seems that nowadays tolerance has completely disappeared. Tastes are different and if someone thinks an actor/actress isn't the right cast for a role they should be allowed to say so without being called names by hysterical fans.
The same goes for critisising an actor's performance...

I think Allen Ren is an acquired taste... I initially didn't like him in The Blue Whisper, then I watched two more dramas with him in the lead and suddenly I find him much more bearable. It probably depends on the role if he is a good fit. If the ML is supposed to be stonyfaced and grumpy it'll be ok...

Different people have different tastes... learn to live with it ;-)

Yes, a lot more tolerance, that's what this world needs!
I know nothing about they guy's private life (and I don't care) so I cannot judge this, but I think we should be able to separate someone's professional performance from his/her private life. Many great artists were not very nice people privately...
Also, everyone should be allowed to say stupid things or make mistakes without a sh*tstorm destroying their whole life!

Also realised that Apple "cleaned" the two songs sung by Zhang Zhe Han from the OST download.
B*****ds!!!
It's been a year, I really hope his issues can be resolved soon.

This series will forever be one of my favourites!!
Yes, I've also watched "The Untamed", but for me, it didn't even come close...
I after starting to read the novel (translation) I thought I'd just re-watch the series in parallel.
Not a good idea! Now my head is spinning with all the people alive or dead in one version or another! On top of that the novel translations were done by several people without any coordination of the translation of place names or other wuxia terms which just adds to the confusion.
Especially towards the end the drama and the novel versions differ a lot with many of the changes in the series being done for a more dramatic effect. Both versions are good, but I probably prefer the novel...

Another point that was refreshingly different is the take on "revenge" in this drama. Contrary to many other series, the leads in this one understand the self-destructive effect of the obsessive pursuit of revenge and come to the conclusion that "living a good life" is actually the best revenge.

Initially I was put off by the silly title of the series and some of the negative comments on this page, but I watched to the end and didn't regret it for a minute. It is surprisingly good!
I especially liked the relationship between the main couple, which was refreshingly mature, without the stupid "misunderstanding" storylines that otherwise haunt this genre.
There were no annoying side characters. Even the villans had a clear motivation (other than just being evil for the sake of the story) behind their actions.

Isn't this highly unethical?
If I think LYX is a great actor, gifted artist and the most elegant person in costume, I enjoy seeing his work. I really don't care if he has girlfriend, boyfriend or whatever. On the contrary, I wish him to be happy in a relationship if that's what he wants.

For me it would have to be Jing Xiu's residence in Love and Destiny. Awesome design and surrounded by Nature!

Just finished reading the novel (in the English translation) and now very much looking forward to this drama!!
Neo Hou was sweet in "A Girl like me", so I'm quite curious to see if he will be able to bring across the fierceness of a thousand-year-old dragon..

Even though I love Xianxia dramas, with the annoying FL from Ashes of Love and the face-paralysis ML from Love and Redemption, I'm not sure that I will be to get beyond the first few episodes...
