Actually, I am staying in character with FL. Her memory of the last year is muddled.

LOL I was calling him Gollum for weeks, so I finally looked up his name yesterday. ROFL

The Director and Writer should not have wasted all those minutes in episode 40, on those three trolls.

I agree. Perhaps when the Twins are a few years older, they will follow him. I hope XM becomes Master of the Poison Valley.

I picked up My Deepest Dream yesterday. Maybe I will see you there. Thanks for all your insights into this drama.

He was a passive villain. You didn't get the feeling he was a demented villain, like Tian Guinong and Shi Wan Chen, or currupt as Feng Tiannan. In the end, when he said goodbye to Hua, it seemed that he genuinely loved her. He also gave up his children to Hu Fei, which is surprising, since he is the Emperor's bastard son. I actually liked looking at him, btw.

Me, too!

The fight scenes were very well choreographed. The quality that you see from Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung's works as martial arts fight directors...I forgot their job title. If the production team edited the filmed drama into a three hour movie, and kept all the fight scenes, the result would be outstanding.

Maio Renfeng dragged Tian Guinong and Shi Wanchen to the gates of Hell.

I watched an old movie, Seven Swords, with Donnie Yen, with the same premise. Emperor wanted to kill out all the martial arts sects. I guess the emperor is paranoid that they would overthrow him one day. One sect might not succeed, but a united martial arts community might succeed.

I thought the same thing about Hua jumping onto the wagon. Was she trying to protect her man (Fu)? XD

No more Poison Master! Since Xiaomei was interested in that field, she should become Cheng Lingsu's successor.

Since the drama is complete, you can binge watch it, without interruption. When we had to wait five days for the next week's episodes, it slowed down the expectations.

This rationale is as convoluted as the episodes 1 to 3. LOL I just started the drama a few hours ago. Hopefully, I will catch up in a day or two.

Probably the best friend and the cop!

I watched the first three episodes, and the plot is very confusing.

Very odd that this version would kill him off.

I am not surprised how the ending played out. Typical martial arts drama outcome! Hero is alone. He has no time for a companion (Cheng Lingsu) or a mentor (Maio Renfeng). I was curious if in the future, Hu Fei would mentor the children, Roulan and the Twins, and teach them the Hu sect martial arts. I didn't notice that the Twins went with Xiaomei and the Nuns. I did not expect to see Nanlan in the last scene. I guess she is a survivor. Hu Fei looks better and younger with long curly hair.

I expected Miao to die...typical sacrifice. Waste of a life, but he killed Tian Guinong, so he accomplished his revenge. I don't know why he didn't kill Shi Wan Chen Creep and his two trolls at the Gathering. We didn't need to see them in the final episode, which was flashbacks and singing. I hope blind Shi Wan Chen Creep died in the fire, and that he did not escape, and heal his wounds.

For a minute I thought Cheng Lingsu would live, but no. The writer had to kill her off. Final rating: 8 out of 10

A big windbag! I applauded when he died.

Not surprised at the end result! Showing the Roulan child is the continuity between the side story and the next novel. Ironic that it ends with Hu fei, Nanlan and Roulan characters in frame.
