I feel you....probably because he hasn't displayed any fighting skills or magical powers yet. I can't believe he went by himself for search for the Patron Goddess and didn't have any protection considering he's the King. Ling Long's road to discovering whether she's the Goddess is moving too slow. I'm waiting for new subbed eps since I'm caught up right now.

Can someone please tell me if Qing Ming’s master was played by Wang Duo who played Shou Ye too? Did he have dual roles?

I agree. She was hilarious and so beautiful too. I found the costumes she wore so vividly colorful. I especially love how even looking so beautiful, she carried on like a man in the beginning of the drama. Peter Sheng was kind of stiff but he was good eye candy - he wanted Peng Peng to love him for him and was frustrated when he couldn't get it from her the many times he tested her. I know this drama was low budget but it still was so much better than some of the other so call more expensive budgeted dramas. And I agree too...I hated the ending especially after they fell in love with each other. The other alternate endings didn't make me feel better because it was more like "you pick & choose" which is so open ended.

So I finally finished the drama and I was let down the last several eps. Honestly, the beginning of this drama felt stiff and Zanilia Zhao seem to be phoning in her acting and Wang Yibo giving his best for his character and trying to deviate from being typecast as Lan Zhan in Untamed. It was the middle of the drama where I felt their chemistry kicked in and the best parts were when Xiefun sacrificed his internal poison lock to aid Zhou Fei in battling the Disha leader. Then Xiefun's recovery in the cave and Zhou Fei's task in getting the 3 ingredients to keep Xiefun alive. I felt these eps were the best and the most emotional for the two. But after the aggravating ep 44 and the eps after until 50 & 51 were so slow and dragged out that I started to get bored and started to fast forward. Here's my list of useless characters: Li Yan - she couldn't fight and just seem to get in the way; she constantly pouted and sulked when she didn't get her way; she constantly wanted to help but had no ability, Zhou Fei's mom Jinrong - supposed to be such a powerful leader but we never saw that. She was no where to be found when there was fighting with Disha and when she was going to fight the leader, she easily got poisoned by the Poison lady, Zhou Fei's father Yitang - he went to lead the Anping army and basically did nothing...then came back to the 48 stronghold to bring his poisoned wife to the cave to be cured. So Zhou Fei's parents were MIA during the defeat of Disha. As I said the last 6 eps were draggy and seem to go downhill in quality. I was getting annoyed with the characters and I felt the chemistry with Zhou Fei and Xiefun were not as strong as it was in the middle parts. I loved when Xiefun was finally cured. Chu Chu and Li Sheng never really showed them being romantic; we never found out if Chu Chu's brother was dead or alive. The only thing interesting was the final fight scene between Zhou Fei and Sheng Tian and Xiefun against Snow Wolf. I don't understand why they gave the Iron book to that blacksmith at the end and wouldn't they want to keep the medical book since it had the cure to most poisons? Or at least make copies... Conclusion - this was just an ok drama. I wouldn't watch again. The editing was absolutely horrendous between each episodes and the music during fight scenes were simply uninspiring - which means that the music that accompanied the fight scenes were ridiculously too mild in my opinion. It didn't rev up the intensity of the fights. I thought Wang Yibo did an admirable job in making Xiefun his own and was completely different from his Lan Zhan role. Zanilia Zhao was hit and miss with her acting - in some scenes she was stiff but she has the best eyes in expressions and when she cried, she seem to be able to bring out big fat tears on command. I did enjoy it but felt it lost steam towards the end and it became a bit dragged out towards the end. It had a happy ending but I was glad it finally did end. I didn't have that feeling like I did when I watched Love and Redemption. That couple went through so much and when it finally ended I was still in love with them and it took me a while to move on. For this drama I felt it was easy to move on and go on to the next new drama.

I think that Poison Lady knew exactly what to say to Zhou Fei to stop her from killing her right there: she said that the Medical scripture that everyone is looking for can cure the Bone Chilling poison and other poisons. So when Zhou Fei heard that, it made her pause in killing her. But that was just what the Poison Lady intended in order to buy her more time to suck Zhou Fei closer so she could whip the poison powder in Zhou Fei's face. But I was like how can you fall for that old trick?!!!! Did you scream at your tv screen like I did? I was like "ARGHHHHHHH!!!!" Lololol....

I just started watching this and I had to comment about this: Is it just me or does Ahn Hyo Seop look like Chanyeol of EXO in certain angles. I keep seeing the slight resemblance in different scenes. Just wondering if anyone else thought this. And he's tall like Chanyeol!

Oh yes! I agree too...I love when they are on screen together. I'm so impressed by Wang Yibo's acting here. I really didn't think I could move on with his Lan Zhan character in Untamed but he made Xiefun his own: and he's the complete opposite of Lan Zhan. He's much warmer, funnier, outgoing & lively as Xiefun. I love how he balanced out the cold Zhou Fei and made her smile more. It's like he's the Wei Ying character. And people mentioned the age difference but I really didn't even notice. Zanilia Zhao looks so young anyway and I can't believe she was coming out of her maternity leave. She has the skinniest waist for having a baby! I'm waiting for more eps to air that are subbed so now I'm at a pause. ;)

I wasn't sure about the chemistry between the leads in the beginning but as the story progressed the chemistry did pick up for me. I think Zhou Fei was supposed to be portrayed as lacking in feelings and a bit cold because her main thing was concentrating on her martial arts. I think it was her way of trying to show her mom because her mom was pretty hard on her and never praised her. I think Xiefun's playful & flirtatious personality slowly started to change her and she started to lower her walls with him. He showed how he was always there for her & supported her - the love between them was a slow progression but I do see how they both care about each other....like soul mates. Xiefun is more open with his feelings for her whereas Zhou Fei pretends to not care as much but she really does and shows it by what she goes through to save Xiefun's from his deathly poison.

Thanks! Lolol....

I just want to know who the editing team is for this drama? The way they end each episode is so abrupt and you're left with scratching your head like "WTF?" It's pretty bad when my daughter noticed it and asked why did they end the ep like that and then she walked away laughing and shaking her head. Did they just get sloppy with their editing ?
And one more thing: can I say how I love Hu Bing as Li Zheng in this drama. He usually plays the bad guys in most of the dramas that I've seen with him in it but this time he played a heroic figure who is the embodiment of goodness. I've always thought he was so good looking so to see him in this drama playing a good guy was definitely a plus. Too bad we only get to see him in flashbacks.

I agree! Still one of the best that I seen. Loved the couple and their incredible chemistry! This drama proved that not everyone bad is bad and not everyone good is good!

I'm up to ep 47 but I really had to vent about ep 44! Did everyone start being stupid in this episode? How many times have they supposedly "killed" the villain only for the villain to have survived?!! Don't these fighters ever check to make sure they are DEAD!!! Anyway, the Poison lady Hu Tian Ying is seriously pissing me off! You know that she's a poison master but you let her get away doing the same technique over & over & over. I can't believe Afei fell for her scheme during their fight scene. I was like "JUST KILL HER ALREADY!!!" If I'm screaming at my tv screen then you know I'm so pissed & aggravated by stupidity!!! And I thought Afei was getting smarter but she was really stupid in this scene. She gets conned into the Poison lady's spiel and gets closer to the Poison lady and guess what? Duh...she gets sprayed with poison! I was like "Are you kidding me?!! A blind person could have seen this coming!!! How come no one wears masks especially dealing with this Hu Tian Ying? And again the Poison lady gets away again! And don't get me started with how stupid and dumb Li Yan is - she is truly TSTL!! First in previous eps, she gets the map to locate the thing that everyone is looking for. And what does she do? The first guy she meets up with, she wants to give the map to. And what does she do here? She befriends the leader of Disha not knowing who he is! And then she starts talking & revealing. She is truly the dumbest and she also belongs with the other dumb clueless guy , Bumpkin Yang. But at least Yang can fight so I do like him. All Li Yan does is get in the way and cause trouble. She can't fight and she's too clueless 95% of the time. Ok....that's my vent for ep 44.

Yeah...it's like ChuChu's brother became nonexistent. I thought that ChuChu would have looked for him after she finally reached the 48 Stronghold. It's like they forgot about him altogether.

Xie Yun is actually a great martial artist except he was poisoned by the Bone chilling poison. The only reason he's still alive is because his master sacrificed his internal power to seal the poison in Xie Yun's body in order for him to live. But if Xie Yun exerts any internal force , the poison unseals and starts spreading again and he starts weakening eventually leading to death. So in the meantime Xie Yun lives his life like a wanderer until he meets up with Zhou Fei and falls for her.

I confess - I skipped all the way towards the end. I watched the last 4 eps so I could just see how it ends. I liked how it ended and I'm glad I didn't watch the whole thing or I would have been so aggravated.

Yes! Li Hong Yi as Qiu Yue is the only interesting one in this drama. Chun Hua is too stupid and silly (like most of her roles) & Xiao Bai is....well....Xiao Bai...bland. I may need to just go to the last 5 eps of this drama.

I think so too!

I've been on "start" & "stop" trying to watch this drama for a while now. Although I like Rosy Zhao, she seems to play the same silly female lead in most of her dramas. The only one that I've seen where she doesn't play this type was in Cinderella Chef where her character was much more sedate and subdue. But the "BTS" for this drama would spur me back on to watching this again. So because I'm inbetween dramas I decided to pick this story back up again. I'm at ep 15 and my fingers are constantly itching to fast forward but worried I'm going to miss something important (like I usually do when I fast forward eps). If Chun Hua says "Xiao Bai" one more time I think I'm going to puke! I swear...you can put most of Rosy Zhao's characters in her other dramas and you wouldn't know the difference. I really dislike when she uses that little whiny girly voice of hers and she must have said Xiao Bai's name more than I can stomach. I really like the character of Qiu Yue because he has so many secrets and he is so aggressive and forward. However the one earlier scene where Qiu Yue kisses Chun Hua was kind of cringy mainly because Chun Hua was under the impression that she was his little sister. Even though we all knew that wasn't true it just felt all wrong. I hate that she thinks she is supposed to be in love with Xiao Bai because she was told the 1st guy she sees will be her true love. Of course we know it wasn't Xiao Bai that she saw when she first woke up...it was the retreating back of Qiu Yue. Anyway, I have a long way to go with this drama (40 eps!) and I'll be sitting in my seat with my fingers glued to that "fast forward" button and trying my best to refrain from pressing it. But I'm determined to finish it this time and also because I'm waiting for my other dramas to update with eps and subtitles. Oh yeah....Qiu Yue is passion while Xiao Bai is bland and boring. And I read that someone mentioned about the horrible makeup they used in this drama and I must agree. I can literally see the pancaked foundation on the guys and sometimes I noticed the creasing along the hairlines for the guys too. I'm waiting for when Chun Hua realizes her true love is Qiu Yue and not Xiao Bai.

I'm glad I wasn't the only frustrated viewer at the end! ;)

What can I say about this rom.com? I too had high expectations coming off of Goblin and wanting a happier story for the couple in this drama. I guess my expectations were high. This wasn't a terrible story - it was a ultra sweet romance between two extremely virginal adult people. It was so sweet that towards the last half of the drama I started to get bored. It took be a while to just finish an episode because I wasn't sitting on the edge of my seat wanting to see what happened next in the episode.
What I liked; the law firm family - despite their individual quirks, they were a family who bickered but came together when needed. CEO Jun was hilariously petty but was always supportive of his employees - The actor Oh Jung Se who played the CEO also played the autistic Moon Sang Tae in "It's Ok to not be OK" and his acting difference is amazing. His character was crazy petty but he also could turn it around and be so supportive. Lawyer Choi reminded me of the narcissistic Ted Baxter in the Mary Tyler Moore show and his interactions with the man-crazed Lawyer Dan was the comic relief. Secretary Kim was the office gossip and last we have the Office Manager Lee secretly in love with Secretary Yang. And of course we have the prickly head ace Lawyer Jung Rok who has the celebrity Oh Yoon Seo thrusted upon him to be his secretary. I loved how they wrapped up the cases in a fast manner. I liked the relationship between Rok and his bestie Lee Sang Woo. I even liked the way Lee Sang Woo eventually won back his ex, Yeo Reum. Oh Yoon Seo's manager and the CEO of OYS's agency also were funny. I loved how all the main couple's issues were solved in a timely manner and there was really no conflict other than Jung Rok breaking up with OYS so their relationship wouldn't threaten her star comeback. What I didn't like: the slowness of their romance; OYS constantly being the one to run after Jung Rok; hardly any passion in their relationship - they were like two virgins navigating an adult relationship; it was only until ep 14 did they have a really meaningful kiss; when Jung Rok asked OYS if it was ok to "not protect" her during one of his night staying over at her house, I'm assuming they had relations - but then the next morning she wakes up fully dressed; it took so long for them to get back together and towards the last 3 eps I was getting really bored. But all in all, this was a light fluffy romance drama that was just dripping with sugary sweetness. Even though I didn't feel the exact chemistry they had in Goblin, I still enjoyed it but glad it was just 16 eps.
