I'm also waiting for Wallace Huo and Lin Yi's arcs with Rose

I just realized that this remake, the ML and FL are not Guo Jing and Huang Rong, but her dad Huang Yao Shi (one of the great masters).

Is this a new reboot remake of the "Condor Trilogy" by Jin Yong? Legend of the Condor Heroes? I grew up watching the originals filmed in the 80's...and have watched almost every drama adaption of Louis Cha's works including 天龍八部 and 鹿鼎記 from each decade.

Wait what...60 episodes? Should we expect a split for seasons 1 & 2 then?

[edit] just saw the link to season 2. Hopefully we won't get a long wait between the two seasons airing.

Thanks for sharing this! He was such a hated character, but the actor did a great job making us hate him. Haha, so funny to see how he and his family/friends also hated the character and clapped at his comeuppance

My thoughts exactly!

Yes! An uncanny resemblance to Zhu Yi Long and you're right about the eye shape (very deep set) and the face in general, but yes...especially the eyes.

Then from some angles, he looks like Wang Anyu.

Cheng Jia Lin, Cheng Jia Lin, where are you? LOL, he was the real shadow of the show. Of the four proteges, he was the only face to not have appeared once throughout the imperial examinations arc.

Yes, this! I became a WXY fan after Scent of Time.

What a great episode 26! The long-awaited reunion of Wu Zhu and Fan Xian and return of Fei Jie. I mean...marriage with Wan'er.

Anyhow, the trust that Wu Zhu-shu and Fan Xian have in each is ultimate. Even if Fan Xian is married and has his own family, he will always need his Wu Zhu-shu.

Yes I understand that, but what could have been easily solved or resolved in one episode - it dragged all the way to episode 16! Irregardless of his serial killer identity, the writing fell flat on the villain plotline....or rather lack of it.

I agree! It's ridiculous how he's still alive after all the time travelling Sol has done. He's a villain with no substance, no plot....nada. He's just there to cause conflict and like an itch you can't scratch, the show has me mostly on cloud nine (Sol, Sunjae, and Taesung are awesome characters) but the production and scriptwriters really messed up with having such an uninteresting bore as a villain + all the unnecessary scenes with Sol's brother and her bff.

Strong Girl Namsoon was the opposite, plot was terrible but the baddie was the best thing about the drama all thanks to our hottie Sunjae, I mean Ryu Shi On (Byeon Woo Seok so slayed all the roles he's been in).

Just a refresher...you might want to rewatch the Xiao En's scenes in Northern Qi from season 1 - especially the end of episode 40 and very beginning of episode 41.

That's right, in the novel it was all sorts of craziness with the royal family (and we're not even talking about maternal cousin marriages which were accepted in ancient China)!

Elder Princess was really the sister of the Emperor and she was in love with him and jealous of Fan Xian's mother Ye Qing Mei.....and then she ended up having an affair with her blood-related nephew the Crown Prince. What a debacle~

False alarm in episode 24....just when we think we were finally getting our Wu Zhu-shu and Fan Xian reunion.

We're nearly 3/4 through S2 and still no real scenes of Wu Zhu, how did we get even less scenes of him here than in S1 where his presence was so limited but so impactful. The production's been depriving us of our Tong Meng Shi daren and his gorgeous dimples.

Also, I just want to know how his battle with Ku He went up North!

Did I miss something in the earlier episodes? Someone please tell me why that crazy taxi driver killer tried killing our SunJae again even though they didn't cross paths in the altered past. Or is it he's simply deranged? If so, why go after SunJae and not Taesung who's been present in Sol's life in this timeline?

Nice trolling LOL! But yes, there is an ultimate villain, but it's definitely not Fan Si Zhe.

If the drama will follow the novel to the tee: The masked man known as 'Shadow' who protects Chen Ping Ping is Sugu Jian’s younger brother. He's one of the 4 Grandmasters. Sugu Jian is the master of the guy who was allowed to carry his sword in the palace in the epic poetry scene (episode 27).

Don't click the spoiler below if you don't want to be spoiled! (whether the drama will follow the novel that is.

Fan Shi Ze and Guo Bao Kun thinking they're great at being spies, hahahahaha! The way everyone in the Northern Qi keep cleaning after Guo Bao Kun and ensuring his safety so that he doesn't get replaced with someone more capable and competent. Also did not expect the comedic relief from Hai Tang Duo Duo's senior martial brother. He was a bit scary in S1.

As for Fan Wu Ji, I hope this isn't the end of him. He's a very likable character and I think his interactions with Second Prince and Xie Bi'an have been either hilarious and/or heart-warming.
