Wenxia

LOL just in time so people can go and watch the last 3 episodes through the weekend. So smart youku;) Does it mean you don't need to buy separate tickets for the concert?

Well, there have been examples of people self-castrating to gain special powers in Wuxia, so.... who knows;D

Do people really get so worked up about blurred genres? I think borrowing elements from various traditions keeps things interesting. But WOH clearly is very Wuxia at heart. It honestly made me sentimental at times in how much it reflects the storytelling and visuals of last century Wuxia adaptations. Just tell whoever questions it, to watch some of the classics:) The parallels are unmistakable. Here's my favourite Wuxia song from 1990: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AD35YBKye0 everything was bigger then... the wine jars... the straw hats... the red eye shadow:D

Yes! No more posts about broken hearts and cried out eyes! Let's all go celebrate with slushies and ice cream on May 5:D

Thank you! Please don't mind me ...I've confused myself again:) I guess I was trying to ask if ZZS's words can be understood as him not minding the frozen diet as long as it allows him to sun himself with Lao Wen by his side for the rest of their lives;) Anyway, I love how they're not even trying to pretend ep37 is not the true canon ending.

Thx for that:) The ZJ/Scorpion part made me laugh ...My brain is just wired to see double meanings in everything they do or say ... fulfilling all my wishes ...right;) Btw didn't ZZS say sth like: what's the problem with/why would I mind eating snow and drinking ice all year round, if I get to blablabla with Lao wen for the rest of my life? Or did I read to much into what he said?

It's not an episode, just 3 minutes cut off from the end of ep36 and added to a mv. I think people just call it that to make it canon:) It's the big question, whether they CAN add it back to ep36 for yt version or not. I think they will keep the MV and upload it together with ep36 like last time. If they didn't, the comments would be full of links anyway:)

I think he rather saw his cultivation as a curse and don't see him willingly giving it to anyone other than as a last resort. I think that conversation was just one of the many hints for a happy ending. Btw, if you don't wanna hide it under spoiler maybe just write 'spoiler alert' before that last part?:)

They are really a breath of fresh air:) I've never seen two actors just ignore everything and get in their own little world during official interviews, quite like those two. I love the one where they completely lost track playing with the electrical massager:) I don't know how they behaved before with other actors, but I really don't find anything odd in the level of intimacy. To me it fits their interactions and it's nice they don't try to hide/fake how comfortable they are with each other.

Umm, really? I find it completely natural. Maybe I just come from a more touchy-feely place or maybe I've seen too many men in China sleeping on each other in the strangest of places and positions in public, that this looks typical in my eyes;)

Well, it's not exactly a secret that cdramas tend to cycle the same classic tropes a lot:) If people choose not to recognize facts, you can't make them. Fandoms thrive on drama and making mountains out of molehills. I just learned to ignore it.

Nice! Cartwheeling through the air in each other's arms is a new one for me:) I don't know why I thought that if he had GJ's hands he would have caught her... My brain got totally corrupted by WOH;)

You can't fall beautifully from a small cliff lol. I think falling into the water is a code word for 'lets meet new peopleto push the plot forward' everywhere;)

Me too:) Normally, I find such obvious product placement annoying. But I can't help but laugh every time those accomplished jianghu heroes and villains have full-on serious conversations about the nutritional value of nuts:) it's so ridiculous it's actually adorable.

LOL falling off cliffs seems like a recreational activity in c-dramaland... Like does anyone ever hit the ground? I've yet to see that. In other genres people go dancing for fun, but whatever...;)

At the rate they're going it's gonna be a three-people job soon;) I can't believe they dropped 2 special eps yesterday.. I have one of those weird memories where I remember the wording of the original lines, so I'm pretty much playing spot the difference with the subs on yt now:D I'm just gonna wait until after may 5...hope they'll be done by then.

Oh my, I just finished and can't find
the words to express what an absolute treasure this show is. The last episodes were such a rollercoaster of emotions, from crying my eyes out, to laughing like a lunatic and everything in between... I feel like giving standing ovation to Yin Zheng, cause his performance elevated this series to a masterpiece level for me... Next stop, the book! I haven't had my fill of those two yet:)

OK, I can't stop rewatching that new scene in ep 12... I've almost been down the mountain and now I've lost the path again! Like, when did we finish this? 3 weeks ago?! LOL

Anyway, did you notice that youku's post post post production spreads to the subtitles as well? They're everchanging:D I'm glad they fixed that weird line about 'experiencing mixed crowd' for 'complicated world'. But why did they change 'putting down sword' for killing tools? It just sounds so weird to me and makes me see Thor's hammer for some reason:)
And what do you think about that new line from WKX？ （Besides being handsome obviously/除了一目了然的好看）I think it changes the tone of the conversation a little, but otoh ZZS's reply of 'silly ' makes much more sense. Are they planning to make a contest in the end asking fans to vote for their fav version?

Thx, it's how I'm gonna imagine that fall from now on;) Maybe the shot just looked bad. Compared to what got aired, it doesn't seem like sth that would need to be censored.

I just watched the trailer and this looks like high-budget and intense story. I hope it does get to air. ...and there were actual wolves! Not a group of adorable puffballs with lolling tongues like in the Sound of Desert or that scary spirit dog Fairy in the Untamed:D
