Yes. I think that is one of the main reasons I am not as invested in this prequel. It seems to me like it is a depressing story where the good guys lose and the bad guys win and justice takes a long detour.

besides Xie Xuan, most of them don't make it to TBOY. Like LMS, they should have stood with Prince Langya when he was accused of treason.

Well if you think about how DY opens with Beili's Eight Talents protecting their own then when they came to Gu Jianmen's assistance, then I think it is fair to assume that

Only mild.

Ep 11: Zhao Yu Jia/假/fake is really Zhao Yu Zhen/真/real.

She is basically Helen of Troy. That was my impression of her from TBOY.

I only remember LMS and Xie Xuan, the rest don't ring a bell.
Baixiao Tang and Ji Ruofeng are still there in TBOY. Ji Ruofeng's daughter is the White Tiger, one of the Four Guardians. The gal with white hair.

Yeah I can only do one angsty dramas a year.

What matters most is our week is filled with eye candy between the two shows!

Hehehe... ah yes, I remember that now but I guess I didn't register it because he was really a dude.

They are step brothers. No blood relationship but Xiao Se's father took Wuxin's mother as a concubine.

I am also watching that. It is a lot of eye candy for sure but I only really think Ye Dingzhi is hot. Baili Dongjun is very pretty but a bit too pretty for me. 😅👀😂

Yeah I am looking forward to that too. HopefullyTBOY2 is more about 武林 not 朝廷. Even though I like political intrigue, when there is so much 朝廷 I don't really consider them 江湖 stories anymore.

I like him but I can live with that!😅😂😂

"coitus interruptus candle."
Brilliant review, very funny!

I am not there yet but I didn't even like Yi Wenjun in TBOY. She is a very selfish woman.

They always need a patsy standing around to throw under the bus so that one of those two don't get themselves killed dead.

Of course you can as the cases are episodic. But I think you will enjoy the team's dynamics better if you watch S1 first. Not to mention some of the interesting characters from S1 pop up in S2.

It would but sadly Jiang sheriff has a job he has to stay. But since they are one sidekick down, I was hoping fake sheriff could join the team. Di Renjie's sidekicks were all reformed criminals.

He should be one of those middle age guys who take WuXin back to be sect leader in TBOY.
