Both Cangqi and Xuanye are such hot muscle in this show I have to say there are two bad-ass ladies with such good taste in this drama....

IMHO the best of 2020 YTD!

Hah! Just love Bai Su and Ronghua! LMAO!!!

Yeah, there are a lot of suggestion of mirror actions in this drama. So ZCY saw ZDS push his in-laws off the mountain and rush to the edge to pretend to save them. Did ZCY do the same thing to his sister or did he just decline to help her when she was hanging? I suspect he may have pushed her because if he didn't, he wouldn't need to kill Pupu and Yan Liang (Pupu witnessed what he did and may have told Yan Liang). Not saving his half sister is not a crime, it makes him cold-hearted but it is not enough motive for manipulating ZDS into murdering his only two friends in the world.
He is not the only bad kid in this show - his half-sister is a pretty bad kid too. And her mother and her uncle are just plain evil as well.

You mean Yan Liang? It is an interpretation ending, I think it is most likely that Yan Liang was stabbed on the boat by Dongsheng. The hanging is just Chaoyang's imagination and it mirrors what happened to Jingjing - she hung by the window before falling. I think he may even have pushed her but maybe he just watched and didn't help.

I like Bambi, I think she is a good actress and her Xuan Nu was the best villain in TMOPB dunno why everyone focused so much on Sujin. I liked Zhiyan at first as well even when she was weak but later she started to overact and I was put off but not enough to stop me from watching her in MRIAD. I was one of the few that actually liked her character/acting there until the last 10 episodes I was so repulsed I dropped the show. Didn't watch White Snake but life is short and time is limited. I think I gave her a fair enough shot to know that I ain't watching her here.

I was worried he would try to sleep with her and was relieved that he said he wasn't interested. But it seems too good to be true to me. If I were her, I would have ran away at the altar. C'mon this is supposed to be strong woman wuxia, no need to wait for the dude to show up to save you from marrying a creep. Just run run run run run girl, run!!!

I didn't as much dislike any of the characters she played, just the way she portrayed them and on both occasions I thought she was fine until about halfway through the show which really sucks because at that point I am already invested in it. It may shock you but there are such things as bad actresses as well and IMHO (which you don't have to agree with) she is not a good actress. And not one that I choose to spend my time watching. If I am wrong and she does a great job here, I will be happy for you since you spent the time but its not a big loss for me since the version of this I watched was amazing. Enjoy!

I hear you on what is going on the US etc but I wouldn't call this one a silly and happy show either. It is one of the darkest wuxia I have seen in a long time. I think that is why @Maryxiah is looking for something lighter. The Bad Kids is in the crime thriller/mystery category which is supposed to explore the dark side of human nature. It would be train wreck if it weren't dark. iQiyi is making a big push in that genre I am very excited to watch the rest if they are going to be as good as The Bad Kids.

Yeah she was annoying also in The Legends. Actually I liked both characters initially and they grew irritating halfway. Don't think its a coincidence but if you like her and this story, please do enjoy it. For me, it is something I saw before, don't need to re-watch unless I think I am gonna love the cast.

Beyond not overdubbing, in this drama, other dialests, especially Cantonese is spoken, which enhances the sense of authenticity of this drama.

OMG it is this irritating girl from My Roomate is a Detective. Not gonna watch this anymore.

The writing in NIF2 is a high bar that is hard to beat and needless to say, in this there is room for improvement. I actually thought her character in NIF2 was pretty awesome the way it was written but her intrepetation was lacking. Just one tragic expression the entire time - I almost skipped this because of her. But notwithstanding weaker writing, I do think she is doing well here.

Phew! Was sad but I was worried about something else. I don't really buy it that the turkey is not interested in her but stilll, phew! Some logic holes are best ignored...

ROP is not angsty until about 50 and not really even then the girl just gets dumbed down a bit but is still smart. But it’s definitely no rom com. I am watching the Eight it’s very action oriented with a hot male lead and very cool characters but the story is only so-so. I noticed quite a few rom coms airing on iQiyi...

Yeah I am only watching dark shows this summer. Since I can't travel this summer, I signed up for tennis boot camp for a daily butt kicking. I ache so much its much much too painful to laugh... I just can't win - either I get whacked with physical pain or mental pain...

Heheh... I will pour myself a giant glass of wine after work today and watch it... Yesterday after that scene I just wanted to watch something happy.

I know I stopped watching there bc I couldn't bear to continue.

Su Yunlo crashes Mulian's wedding. Zhuyan crashes her wedding. And sadly no one crashes Manqing's wedding! WTF!!!
