Indeed he explains most of it in the first 5/10 minutes of episode 1- he loved her from the time he almost died and she is the reason he lived. On the other hand, she is (not yet) that into him.

They were leaderless for 20 years so factions have formed, there is likely in fighting and traitors among the different professions and/or geographies. In other words, one giant mess. Minchu needs to figure out what to do and the solution may be that some professions may remain with them with a new purpose, go off on their own but remain in the underworld or go off on their own but go legitimate. I only just started so sounds like you are more advanced than I - guess we will have to see how it all unfolds. Minchu seems quite righteous and patriotic so I won't be surprised if it is some do good purpose but my guess is not everyone will be on board with that.

I think disband is probably not the best way to describe what they wish to do. They are a large underworld organization broadly representing eight(?) professions that wish to go legitimate. Each "division" has tons of followers that need to make a living so its not as simple as just saying they are disbanded. They need to turn their skills to proper productive use in society and exit the grey economy. Another option instead of disbanding is restructuring their mission and code of conduct so to speak and turn themselves into say a professional guild instead.

Tyvm. If you haven't watched it, I think you will also like Ancient Detective.

I must admit I kind of miss Dragon Roar city, it is such a sinister place...

NIF2 is almost as good.

Yes absolutely. I didn't like 1 and 2 but for me from 3/4, I could see it come together. Others say 6. It is not tropey, the story has dark undertones and lots of complicated, grey and slightly dark characters. I actually think it is almost as good as Love in Between. And the fighting scenes are really good. Although there are attempts at humor, it is nothing like Tiger and Rose which I dropped.

The first two episodes were really off and then it pulled together and every episode kept getting better. Plot is a bit dark but excellent.

Lucky you! Its much more fun to watch with someone but it definitely slows you down. You can also check out Love a Lifetime if you get stuck waiting on your dad. It didn't start great but after ~4 episodes it is excellent. I am watching that solo so I don't have to wait for anyone.

I like this OTP they look good together. And I really think the ML slight Bugs Bunny teeth is very cute!

Don't worry he has more airtime in the second arc. I like the antagonistic attraction between them also.

Also watching with a friend but it has been slow going... our other friends who are not drama watchers keep dropping by to hang out in the middle of our binge sessions.... Grrrrr! I am starting to miss social distancing...

Heh, glad to see u here!

I think she is just trying to portray a character with some obvious quirks and mannerisms, including the way she curls her lip and speaks with a slight snear. Its good when she isn't overdoing it.

Maybe she is trying to do a Chinese Dr Evil (Austin Powers).

I call it the cat-fish do. If anyone can pull it off, he can!

Don't remember the exact title but he is just the sect master of an intelligence gathering organization. It would be a gross exaggeration translate his title as emperor so I see what you mean about the subs. In general, titles can be hard to translate, I can't claim to be super good at it. My Bahasa is on the rusty side so I also won't notice the naunces of sentence construction etc, I just can tell whether the meaning is there or not based on what is said.

Ah... ok... feel free to ping me if you didn't understand something I am just quite slow in watching this only at 13.

Oh no - is it that bad? I thought they looked ok but I only watched the first few before turning the subs off.

Fingers crossed... we actually have mature, smart leads with fresh ways of dealing with problems and so far no silly misunderstandings. And I kind of love the way they managed to get a second couple that both have slightly assymetrical faces its so 夫妻相! (look of a couple).

LOL - its to hide the full moon cheeks he recently acquired. Which I think are so adorable they shouldn't bother.
