On the positive side, the whole Huazheng arc seems to have been cut out....
I keep seeing clips of horseback riding and archery in the desert so I think she is going to pop up later. Hopefully only as a short, extra extra short flashback.
Five episodes in and I still feel highly entertained. I don't know where the story is heading, but I'm definitely…
I think if you don't know the story, you can consider watching the 2017 version of LOCH until they get to Peach Blossom Island. And then pick up from the Eastern Heretic chapter of this version. The Hot Blooded chapter here just doesn't do justice to any of the three main characters, pretty much skipping all their development. I suggest 2017 bc of the recent remakes, it is the most faithful to the way the story was written by Jin Yong. And all 3 roles have good actors. Yang Xuwen should be the best Guo Jing so far, It is the best recent adaptation with an 8.0 on Douban. The 2008 version is at 7.7 and the 1983 is at 9.2 but it is probably too dated now for most people to enjoy. At the rate this one is going, I will be shocked if it breaks 7.0.
Sigh - he should be the most complex and interesting character. Idk what happened.
I didn’t watch that one but Yuan Hong is a good actor. The 1983 version also shows Yang Kang as a conflicted character; it is how he is written in the novel.
I don't mind they rush through the main characters bc we know them so well already. I am keen to see how they…
It should have still made good money. Usually they air when they sell 70 pct of their ad slots but I heard FSMM was more than that. They raise the price on the remaining slots if the show is hot. And some of the ads are performance ads so they depend on views. So all ok iQiyi should have made money on it but probably less than they expected. The issue is bc it flops the big advertisers may not want to back the next drama or may demand a discount on the pricing.

Well its just my guess I could be wrong. I thought they should have released SToTD2 instead of Follow Your Heart bc they told investors it is slated for Q2. I think after FSMM flopped so hard they did some rearranging. I am sure they meant the next FSMM to go up against LYF2 but that looks like a BAD idea at this point.
