Fang Duobing (Joseph Zeng) can get a bit much with all his bluster and jumping to conclusions. He's no idiot and what he lacks is experience but thankfully their dynamic gets better especially when Di Fengshen enters the picture. Then he finds someone else to bicker with which goes from annoying to actually hilarious because of the irony of not knowing that he's keeping company with two of wulin's biggest names.

Fang Duobing loves to jump to conclucsion. I admit I found him so annoying at the beginning because of all his assumption with no evidence.  As the drama progresses, there would be little hints here and there of his ( Fang Duobing) as they solve a case. He really does need the experience and he also needs to slow down so he can follow the clues.  

Di Fenghshen has entered the picture and I am loving it so much. His interaction with FDB is hilarious and so adorable. I plan on making GIFS of them. LLH is the one who is the rational while DFS and FDB are the hot head of this group.

I can't help but find DFS isnt really an evil character at all, he just has his own view of the world and may actually admire LXY/LLH but he doesn't know it. His wanting to fight him isn't malicious at all but more along the line of wanting to be the stronges in the Martial World.

books online borrowing from library and downloaded into Libby apps. I miss flicking an actual books, but this apps had helped me during commuting as carrying heavy book is not my favourite thing to do

I miss reading actual books too, but they have gotten so expensive. I used to buy at least 20 to 30 books a year but now I wait for them to go on sale and finally found a library on line to read books. I will add these books to my reading list.  Thanks for the recommendation @SilverMoonTea

@Chocolate 
I finished Magic Claims and I am already craving for the next book. My anticipation for the next Julie book is also High on my list. I plan on re reading that book because I have some questions needing answers. 
So proud of Conlan’s parents making the right decision on what needs to be done. 
 

I have a question for you, What do you think of Curran giving a free pass to Jim’s failure as BEAST LORD. I love a man who can own up to his mistakes but even though The Pack was Flawed he still lead with a IRON FIST and that is why he is still feared and loved by so many. 
I was quite angered by Jim because of his treatment of Curran. Curran was supposed to be his best friend but because Curran chose Kate he lost his friend ship. Jim was jealous and tried to hard be better than Curran but ended up failing, not doing a good job and not respected.

@40somethingahjumma will you try this out? I watched three episodes and it's not that bad. Cheng Yi's character reminds me a bit of Li Hongyi's character in The Blood of Youth -- they were both powerful martial artists, but due to poison/injuries, they lost their power. 

 

 

It seems this trope ( poison / lost of powere) is being used so often in chinese drama. Is the acting any good. I just love seeing CHeng Yi act but the other male actors I am not moved by them at all. @Tofu

I have. completed Love like the Galaxy my own way. But skipping and only watching the characters I love.. 

My favorite are The Emperor, Shao Shang & her family, General Huo , The Emperor's Concubine Yue and The Empress

I found this clip , enjoy it, all my favorite scenes with all my favorite people

The Emperor is hilarious . he cracks me up with his antic to dote on General Huo.

@UnniSara I've read Magic Claims. Still good and yes they are forming a new pack in Wilmington. A new kind of pack. I'm looking forward to the books but likely will be a very long wait. They have so many different series in the queue. Although I'd read any that comes out lol.

@Chocolate I am reading Magic Claims now too. I have been taking my time to read it now. I hate waiting for the next book especially if I can finish a book in a day.  
I am so happy for Curran. He needed this and Kate needs to get stronger. Conlan is. Just adorable. He loves his parents so much and he has Curran wrapped around his finger. 
It’s good see that Curran and Kate want their son strong but want him to still be a kid. 

Yuan Shen approached Shao Shang and already misunderstand her, boy he is in a big surprise because she is definitely not into him. He seems to be harboring feeling for  Shao Shang’s third aunt, but his love is very happy with her husband eve though her MIL is selfish and has low class. 
 

P.S I am still watching but at a slow pace. Still enjoying it

I've rewatched this so many times I've lost count lol. But usually, I start only from ep6 onwards until ep41, with some favourites in between eg 12 and 24 😍.

Wow, that means the actors did a wonderful job.  You are correct Shao Shang is a strong character and Ling Bu Yi is another smart and strong character.  LBY is so smitten with Shao Shang. Lol lol 

@mademoiselle @Chocolate Leo Wu has  matured so well as an actor and person. He channeled Hu Ge from Nirvana in Fire.

Are you enjoying this? 😊 I think when Ling Bu Yi appears formally is when the show becoming extra entertaining, although I think by around episode 7 I'm already engaged because of the confrontational scene of Shao Shang vs Mum — that was very well played out.

I am enjoying this drama  @mademoiselle  One of my issues with Cdrama & kdrama is the mistreatment of Female lead while the other female characters get treated so much better. 
 

Shao Shang and her mom are hilarious. Mom is truly a lost cause , she is set in her ways. She missed the opportunity to spoil her daughter and teach her daughter the proper way to act as a lady but her momm seems to forget that if Shao Shang did it calculate she would have been dead already.  That second AUNT tried to kill Shao Shang 

Glad to have you to talk to  about this drama.  I am quite invested for now.  I hope I can finish this drama 

 So far Chang Yang seems like a good daughter/Niece but her mother is still trying to ruin her life. Cheng Yang appears to have her father’s temperament. Cheng Yang’s mais a a piece of work , almost sowed Discord between everyone. I love they way all the Cheng Kid all sticker together. They miss growing up with their sister, so they bought her a lot of gifts . 

I will admit I was kinda mad that her  Second Brother Cheng went to study instead of staying with his daughter. Although his family would mistreat her at all. 
 

Niao Niao’s grandmother is another piece of work. I don’t understand why all her son’s allow her to act with low class. She prefer boys and ignore all the female in her family. She will also be easily manipulated because she isn’t that smart  but is very ruder @Chocolate @mademoiselle  

I

I just finished episode 4 , I am feeling so bad for Cheng Shao Shang. She just want to feel love but it looks like she will be having more fights with her mother. Now she will have to compete Cheng Yang for her mother's love. 

I am quite worried that Cheng Yang is pretending to be a sweet girl and caring . I really hope that she isn't just faking it at all. 

I know Cheng Shao Shang's mother loves her, she is just so used tp ruling with an iron fist and refuses to change her tacttic for her daughterr. Is she wrong or is she right in wanting to teach her daughter like a soldier?

Love the finale! I like how things are wrapped up and accounted for. Many things happened in this episode, and we even get a 3-year time jump, but nothing feel rushed to me. I shed some tears too.

I loved the ending too. It was just right. Actually, I fast forward to the end. Lol lol 
I am so glad it ended this way.

I guess it paints a more realistic picture in that it's not as easy to break off a long marriage like that. It just kind of sucks for me as a viewer because I want her to find her own happiness. 

@Tofu Here is my honest opinion and it will be harsh. I feel that although Doctor Cha leaving hee husband is the best choice but I don’t think she should leave him. Why because Her MOTHER IN LAW IS VICIOUS and we have no idea what she will do to RUIN Doctor Cha. Look at how she manipulated her in to owning a building and letting her have full control over her finance. This woman took out a loan on Doctor Cha for a lot of money.  in some way she she might end up in DEBT if she leaves SIH but if she stays she will not be poor because her husband is working. 
SIH is truly a coward but strangely Doctor Cha still loved him knowing he is a COWARD.

But she does not seem to actually have romantic feelings for Roy Kim except perhaps an awareness/feeling complimented that he may be attracted to her - she's been treating him as a friend the whole show.

Doctor Cha is Flattered but she isn’t even attracted to Roy. She isn’t even ready to start a new relationship yet until her marriage issues has been settled. 
 

Seung Hi made so many wrong choices because of a MAN. She need to start to think about Hery and her family.  She has done the pursuing and is not being chased. If SIH was unhappy, he would have left her a long time ago but he hasn’t. I think SIH is clueless as to why he doesn’t want a divorce.
 

I believe this drama isn’t about love or cheating but about  Family and knowing SELF WORTH.

My favorite scene of Queen Charlotte of Brigerton. 
 

Charlotte and George have great chemistry.

And I appreciate this drama more, because even the affair is not that simple as she also got pregnant first and stole SH's bf at that time. I wonder does Dr Cha knew back then if SIH and SH was a couple ? I think must be right. 

Hello everyone 

@SilverMoonTea You asked did she know about them, I think back then Jeong-Suk may have heard of them but it never registered in her head. She was so focus on her studies that it wasn’t a FACT  TO HER.  When her best friend mentioned Seung Hi( it took her a while to actually remember this woman).  I think Jeong Sik was so focus on the present and the people she cares about nothing else mattered to her. I feel that SIh & CSH’s romance back then wasn’t an EPIC LOVE. 
i find this man really disgusting because he hasn’t once said if he loved Seung-Hi or Jeong-Suk. 

I  believe Choi Seung-HI’s love for  Seo In Ho was pure in their college years which grew to obsession & possessiveness.  When Choi Seung-Hi talks about Seo In Ho she acts like she owns him, it no longer feels like it is about love . 

Cha Jeong-Suk

She is hurt and has accepted her part in this toxic cycle. This toxic cycle she is in, she is willing to let it go because she know now how little her husband thought of her. Right now she isn’t looking for love but looking for a better future for her and her kids. 
 

Roy Kim is just around as a potential love interest not an actual love interest because Doctor Cha isn’t ready to start a new relationship. 

Seo Jung Min & Seo I-Rang  they are both hurting and lost. Their family is broken and they are saddened at the fact that both their Father and Grandmother lack morals.

Yu RA is the only exception coz of the deal of Do HoOn and the higher ups no more season 2 especially

Thanks for explaining this to me, I thought there may be a season 2 because of the ending.

SPOILER IN THE BOX

Dr Choi is a terrible mom.

She isn’t setting a good example for her daughter. Allowing her to compete with Seo I Rang when I Rang isn’t even trying to compete with her 

she She should be trying to protect her daughter’s mental health instead of focusing on being the VICTIM all these years.  Both are so miserable and all they can do is complain 

Meanwhile Doctor Cha and her daughter’s life are unraveling but they still can pretend or try to be happy.  The Choi ladies should learn from them 

I wished the man pulling the string was caught and paid for the crime. I rather enjoyed the ending of this drama because it left us with open ending.

At the end of the day Yura, Chief Oh and Taegu were all just victims of this organisation. The people behind Union were raising soldiers from this abandoned children for their own benefits. I hope after this they can all go on to live their own lives.

They were victims and I wished they got to live their own lives.  Yu Ra seemed to be the only one who doesn't care about the people but only care about her husband and her family. She lost faith in the people due to what happened to her in the past

Anyone have any recommendations for something else to watch?

I recommend Family : The Unbreakable Bonds with Jang Na Ra & Jang Hyuk. I have no objections with this drama except for the terrible subs, but the story was good and it is a short drama with only 12 episode. 

I kinda suspected that they might end up together in the end.  Doctor Cha kinda reminded me of  this drama
