I think it's because the drama shows a lot of other characters and their development, while IMHO, they should just replace some parts (like the annoying Prince with his spoiled attitudes..seriously, do we need to see him often? ) with NQ's flashbacks instead, in order to show more about his sufferings when he was a child. Right now, we only have the flashbacks of the massacre in the general's house (which they repeated over and over again) and a bit of NQ's running from soldiers. I totally agree with this. I am really enjoying this drama and there is love so much I love about it but I would also have liked to see more flashbacks to emphasise the depth of what Ning Que and Sang Sang have been through together over the years. It's only from reading posts from book readers that I realise how much they struggled for years with just each other to rely on. I feel like it isn't made that clear in the drama that aside from revenge SS is the only reason has NQ survived to make it this far. How when NQ was near death and felt abandoned by the whole world, he found a tiny baby girl also abandoned by the whole world and that gave him the motivation to survive so she could survive. How SS was also an important link to keeping him humane and sane otherwise he would have just turned into a completely revenge driven bloodthirsty madman. This is where some flashbacks showing their life before like showing little NQ looking after baby SS, fearing for her when she was sick with the chiling disease (I wish they had explained her sickness better in the drama too), using the little money he had on doctors, surviving before NQ joined the border soldiers would have really emphasized their relationship. I don't know if it's for budgetary reasons we only see the same two flashbacks from NQ's past (massacre and on the run from the soldiers) but I think they missed an opportunity to show the connection between NQ-SS. Fortunately, Chen Fei Yu and Song Yi Ren have excellent and believable chemistry and the drama provides some exposition but the advantage of dramas should be they can show scenes like this rather than having to use our imagination like when reading. Like @rhaps said I think it would have been much better use of screen time to concentrate on NQ-SS's relationship than some of the scenes with supporting characters which don't add much to the overall story. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Chapter 497: Another dream I got so addicted I just continued after reading chapters 357-359. Actually I am new to these types of Chinese dramas. These are very heavy weight and so complicated genres with lot of characters to remember. So I just stay away from any of my comments and just enjoy the soompiers posts here. I have just started these type of dramas and try to understand the various situations and scenarios from others posts. So thank you all for the detailed posts discussed here. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Lynne 23,159 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 LOL.. actualy I think OTP might meet again next week.. maybe around ep 41/42. Hehe.. don't trust the spoiler teaser number.. its misleading..... Anyway... for anyone missing Chao xiaoshu, don't worry he'll appear again.. Maybe not so soon. But he will hehe.... and Spoiler possibly with a significant other too if they follow the book.. 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites
UnniSarah 59,458 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 @lynne22 He is so Hot, Chao Xiaoshu. So very Hot @pad-hari At least SWZ isn't molesting her, he just wanted a hug. He looks so happy to hug her. LOL LOL LOL It is so funny ... I can't stop watching this clip.. OMG MSS, confessed already. That seem so fast chingu's. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites
UnniSarah 59,458 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 @angelangie As I watch the clips , it doesn't look like they meet up yet. @lynne22 Thinks our OTP will meet up nest week but I am a bit skeptical. If Lynne is right, I will be thrilled like from Michael Jackson's Thriller song. LOL LOL LOL Ever Night's OST is also very good. I love them so much.. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
UnniSarah 59,458 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Since I have finally caught to the fight at Chao mansion. THis fight scene is way better on paper than in the drama. I still loved it on screen but I was more on edge while I was reading it. @angelangie It is just sad that the Prince thinks he can do whatever he wants since NQ is gone. HE chooses to act like he can do whatever he wants. He should have used his brains to try another way for SS to like him. Instead of being so forceful. Spoiler OMG The Princes is the next person that Xiling spy is going to use to get the chance to kill The Empresses SOn. SHe is so dumb, she is going to let that man use her. Smh SMh SMh I kinda digged the nightmare the Princess had to go through. LOL LOL 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Lynne 23,159 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Heehheheehehee.. because he ended up hugging WGM -------------------- Anyway... the people on weibo is pretty funny.....

Yinye 4,349 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Can I vent my frustrations at the bad English subs for episode 25? Gahhhhhhhh. I'm trying to watch but not understanding fully is so very annoying. Also, I started the novel - volume 1 and wow, the early episodes of this drama really adapted from the novel - by the scenes. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

How many episodes air per week? Where can I see the updated raw episodes aired so far? Is this novel ending h.e.a for our OTP. Is the novel over yet or ongoing? Becoz I was curious and straightaway went to ch.603 (recently translated)and kind of wary abt it.please clarify. Thanks 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yinye 4,349 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 @angelangie thanks. I rewatched it just now and saw they added some more of the missing subs. This whole episode was cute. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
JoycceeDreamer 248 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 If anyone watch the latest eps, (35-36). Please summarize what happened. I really want to know. Spoiler Who did MSS and her group think Ning Que was? Anyone have any idea why Ning Que was under disguised? 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Chao Xiao Shu is my favourite character so far even ahead of Sang Sang and Chen Pipi (and I agree with @UnniSarah I think Chao is so hot ) I'm just watching Episode 25 (thanks to the subtitle team on on viki) and I didn't realise Sang Sang can't read. She's obviously a naturally bright and intelligent girl. Why didn't NQ didn't teach her? 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites
greenwatch08 2,791 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) For someone who excels exceedlingly well in both combat and literacy, why didn't Ning Que teach Sang Sang self-defence/how to read? Teaching her these skills would benefit her greatly especially when NQ isnt around. Although its a good thing that Sang Sang is intuitive/smart/works around even in the toughest situation, its a bit mind boggling NQ didnt teach her these thing when he decided to care for her while growing up. So I'm excited/looking forward to see how Sang Sang manages/be her own person away from NQ. Im not too familiar with the webnovel but Ive seen some preview clips of later episodes when she meets WGM. I want to see SS interact more w/other people, since its really nice seeing her have small talks with the ladies at the brothel and the princess.
