BFX and HP's relationship isn't focused since she has other 'siblings' here unlike in the novel where I feel like it was important esp. after knowing she lost her biological brother. So I kinda expected we won't get those.

And yeah, her love line with XXK is non-existent. But I also expected that as well since its the same with YYZ before, they gave the cliff scene to ml instead.

Just hope the drama keeps the same energy with ml's love lines to be fair at least.

Yeah, though not complete, at least we still got those light moments, since we know what's gonna happen later on.

Her clothes weren't even supposed to be white anymore. But despite the bare minimum dirt on her, her beauty still shines through so idk whether to laugh or cry that HC couldn't recognize her. lol
And it was fun indeed, XXK was so done.

Yes, he is one of fl's harem. lol And the opportunity was there, so she took it. hahah

Finally, A-Qi back home with Commander Sang. lol At least thats what her first greeting to shifu looked like.
I like how her relationship with LH, who became shifu's biological daughter, seems genuine despite the bickering. Hope it won't change because of Jiurong.

I can't say the same for ml though. But I already expected his family to be a mess like in the novel, except its really magnified here in the drama.

And disappointed we didn't get the line BFX told XXK that made him change his entire wardrobe (which was cute of him). I guess the drama is toning down all of fl's love line with others that isn't ml. But XXK being dumbfounded by both BFX and HP was fun to watch. lol

4/40 The banter between BFX and HC is how I imagined from the novel, esp. when he didn't back out from that thing she dared for him to do. lol

YWY's whole presence and aura is calming and pleasing to my eyes.

I haven't seen all of ZLS' dramas but I guess its true what cfans say that she is a chemistry goddess. At the start with YYZ, then now with 2ml and 3ml, HC and YWY in one ep. Not to mention their love line here is not as prominent as in the novel. So its definitely credit on the actors, mainly ZLS.

But the main takeaway in this ep is, find you someone who will look at you the way HC looked at BFX eating his food, and taking the leftovers with her too. lmao

In the novel there's no backstabbing but they were ambiguous and at one point it gets ugly.

True. Its not actually just one, she liked two guys, one of whom she shared a kiss.
But the love line is not as prominent in the drama as it was in the novel.

Yan Ying Zhou is her first love in the novel. Her first kiss. He appears in ep. 1 as well but the love line is not as prominent in the drama.
Though a lot of viewers still felt something/chemistry between them.

The multiple names are different for each character. For the leads, they have their names in their home state (Feng Xi Yun | Feng Lan Xi) + their aliases in jianghu (Bai Fengxi | Hei Feng Xi). While for others its name + title (Xiao Xue Kong / General Sao Xue).

More of fl will be revealed once she goes back to her state, Qing. Even the characters that mention FXY doesn't know yet that its her.

The ml's family arc was only a small part in the novel. They expanded that arc here to accommodate YY.

Since you don't wanna be spoiled, there's a reason. It will be revealed later on.

Yes, happy ending.

At first I disliked how the drama changed 'Bai Feng Hei Xi' to 'Hei Bai Feng Xi' even the name has to be "for ml". But they played it well with the scene where Xi'er paid the storyteller to put Bai first, while using Hei's money. A playful take on her not liking being second to anyone, very BFX.

And HP, who was adorable the whole ep, telling ZL his jiejie doesn't need protection and calling the duo BFHX (novel) instead of HBFX (drama) in front of HC showed he still view her the same as in the novel.

Also, ZL has been cute so far, but him wiping the blood off his sword was kinda hot.

3/40 So the romance starts here, with one being oblivious while the other a tsundere. I knew the moment I saw the red dress from the reuters that its the entertainer scene. In costume dramas, those establishements are really the best place to gather info. lol

HC and XXK finally meeting BFX, who became miss Han for like 2 seconds. lol The fight scene between fl and 2ml was good esp. the sword bending, just like how I imagined from the novel.

And YWY's entrance was very novel-YWY. Him ending the ep. was a good tease for the next one.

Thanks, but modern cdramas that have romance as main plot with many eps aren't my thing. And I've seen the poster for that, I prefer his visual here. But I'm open to costume dramas esp. wuxia like this one.

Happy ending.

You weren't wrong, they had something.
Its more prominent in the novel and her feelings for him will be a huge part factor when the truth of his "death" is revealed.
Though that may or may not change in the drama.

I've been following this since rumor days. I know of the author's words, the director change and producer disclaimer. So I am aware. I've already expected huge changes to accommodate YY, at the same time giving chance to him and the scriptwriter to have a good drama ml.

Do share when you do. But yeah, I'm still looking forward to that arc.

Np~
