 In the cut version of ep 19, they show Zhao Yao seeing Qin Qian Xian supposedly blocking her way and she kidnaps him just to stare at him all night!

It's hilarious how everyone on weibo is saying Jiang Wu is having a 'cyber romance' experience 

Spoiler

 

 

-Jiang wu's (difficult) cyber romance journey-

 

 

 Youngster Jiang Wu gets involved with a cyber romance 

Skill 1. Writes a poem

Me too. After this part of the story Mo Qing learns the feeling of jealousy .

Right now my MOST anticipated  scene is the "一夜荒唐" The night when she gets VERY drunk. ^^

Will this drunken kiss scene be part of the past or present? Since MQ has the scar on his face.

The new MV makes me more exited for the future episodes. It seems they will deviate from the novel a bit, adding more angst in the last arc. The fight scene (the one with hundreds of swords array and one big sword - I forgot the name of the city when this is happen in the novel) is marvelous. Plus Zhao Yao - Li Chen Lan lovey dovey seems so sweet in the MV, cannot wait to see them!!

 

Up until now, I think the hilarious ones are:

1. When Li Chen Lan realizes she is Zhao Yao and giving her the necklace back so he can hear her thought.

    The scene when Zhao Yao poisons him is so funny.

 

2. Li Chen Lan jealousy.

    When he finally snaps and kills the bird is very funny indeed.

 

Since the drama keens on giving us romance rival, Lu Zhi Yu and Jiang Wu (I think?), I hope we will get a scene that shows Zhao Yao get jealous, too.

Here's a summary from the book for better understanding of the plot :

And some key difference with the book:

Anyway... lols.. If I didn't read the book and know Zhao Yao's love for tanghulu, I would have suspected that there is a tanghulu PPL in the drama

Hahahahahahaha.. MQ increased jealousy and also ZY's indifferent face during the letter exchange was so hillarious... hahaha... 

 

 

[AppleBanana]

Gosh I hate the waiting game and especially no eng subs, so basically I just watch the pretty pictures.

Loved  the bit where Li Chen Lan gets jealous when Zhao Yao asks Qin  Qianxian to rescue her instead of people from Wan Lu Men. Afterwards, Zhao Yao doesn’t want both guys to see two versions of Zhi Yan so she tells her to hide and suggests having a intimate conversation with her “uncle”.Li Chen Lan tells Zhao Yao that his duties are not tiring as her intimate conversation with Qin Qianxian. Zhao Yao finds it strange that Li Chen Lan is jealous of Qin Qianxian since he is Zhi Yan’s uncle.

[itsmemiya]

That date scene got me LMAO. For a villain, Jiang Wu is pretty funny apart from all the mass killing he does.

It is part of the past. And like @DontEatMyKimchi, it's one of my most anticipated part too

Yes it is in the past. MQ gives ZY the necklace for the 1st time.

Lin Zhi Yu was suppose to be A DUDE! I guess there are too many rivalry going on with ZY- Qin Qian Xuan, Jiang Wu, MQ they had to add ONE for MQ. 

 

MQ probably let the other letters go (poem, painting, sewing) because he KNOWS his wife is incapable of those actions. BUT allowing those two to meet up is a very different story! ha!

It's hilarious how Zhi Yan plays along with this whole raven message exchanging situation. Jiang Wu sends a drawing of a sword, she paints a mountain scenery. I can understand that as 'if you want fight the world then I will paint you a Jiang Hu'. When Jiang Wu sends a bag a rocks I lost it. LIKE REALLY??  Then there is Zhi Yan's response with a handkerchief. WHAT? Girl do you even understand what you are doing? How in the world do these two items match up?

It took me awhile to get why MQ was jealous until it finally clicked in my head. It is a 'REUNION' from that last time she locked QQX up and stared at him all night. HAHAHAHAHA! MQ has such a good memory.

 

 

found a link on weibo the 'cut scene' in 18/19

Up to this point Zhao Yao has no idea Li Chen Lan actually recognizes her. She totally thinks Li Chen Lan is attracted to Zhi Yan’s innocent maiden appearance.

 

Here’s the trailer for ep 21

With the new MV comes out, I really cannot wait for the future episodes. 6 episodes in a week are not enough

Really shouldn't watch that in workplace. Now I cannot concentrate .....

 

In the MV, seems the drama will reverse the role in the end with Zhao Yao waiting for Li Chen Lan?! Honestly, I am quite happy if they go this road. It will flesh out Zhao Yao love more.

[frostflower14]

The lyrics for the MV seem to imply a sad ending but the other songs 宿命 (Fate) and 路之遥 (The Long Road, the ending theme) seem to suggest a happy ending.

Nooooo! Please no sad ending. I was fine if Li Chen Lan died, but now after I have watched his puppy lost eyes I don't want him to die. I want him to be happy with Zhao Yao. This puppy has suffered a lot: bad childhood, unrequited love, his love hate him and try to kill him, and now he should lose to his fate and forever separated from Zhao Yao?

Here’s the lyrics for the MV, the last line totally implies a sad ending and is sung by the male voice. I’ll translate the other two songs when I get time

[DontEatMyKimchi]

It's impossible that this drama will have a sad ending. Especially when the novel author helped out with the script editing. 

Yes, the wait is long. LOT of people are complaining that there are only 6 episodes per week, unlike other cdramas. They say this drama might rise quicker to the fame if they update more frequently. Oh well, it adds to feel of stanning a drama.  

Weibo channel helps out, i guess, by posting spoiler gifs.
