Jin Yong's stories are super patriotic with a lot of nationalistic subtext in his characterisations but this is the first time I am seeing Western Venom portrayed as so overtly Western and as trying to steal the Nine Yin Sutra. In today's context Nine Yin Sutra is semiconductor technology!!! 😂😂😂
I think he once he gave his word so he would pretty much have had to. In fact I think he preferred Ouyang Ke over…
Huang Yaoshi despised Guo Jing for his stupidity and was opposed to a match between him and Huang Rong. So for him it was all about making Guo Jing lose and he chose matches that were stacked against him. The truth is he wasn't about to marry Huang Rong off to anyone but he wasn't as worried about Ouyang Ke bc he knew his daughter would not comply. Whereas if Guo Jing won, he would have a much more difficult time preventing her.
Another great review and cemented my decision to not watch it. I like ML but not FL and I can't get the age gap…
Tyvm and yes JOL2 and LYF are far better watches for sure. If you do circle back to this when you run out of stuff to watch then just stop halfway through the last episode and you will be all good.
They are both well written antagonists that ironically ultimately end up doing Xue Fangfei a huge favor. I don't…
Yes I totally agree with that. But at that point he had turned on Wanning and he knew XFF and Duke Su were coming for him. Even though he was in denial or that was a last ditch attempt to salvage himself, in his heart he knew he had rolled the dice and had to play it out to the end.

I think Wanning only ended up on the wrong side of the emperor bc she was King Cheng's spy in the capital. I think the emperor would have been kind to her had she stayed out of politics and found her a good husband. Shen Yurong is the typical ant archetype; the common person that is crushed by imperial privilege. What he said is true, if he were born a Duke, Wanning would never have been able to force him to make the choices he was forced to make. That is not to say he chose well bc he really did not.
