1. Chun Er played high school beauty Meng Yi Ran in Love O2O movie. IMO,WeiWei was overrated, I like MYR female char more.
2. Really nice costumes and sets, even better looking than Nirvana in Fire
3. Am I the only one who thought I was watching the dramatization of an epic RPG game? I loved every scene where the characters went on a quest to explore mysterious places, just like an RPG game. The drama has enough complexity to become undoubtedly the best RPG game the world has ever seen, even better than WarCraft!
4. It's not a coincidence top high school beauty Meng Yi Ran from Love O2O movie was cast in the role of princess Chun Er. So, at Ep 42, I felt somewhat giddy when the screenwriter pulled a YG+XLN scene from ROCH (Chun Er got raped while her brother had his arm severed by Yan Xun). It seems like most Mainland China series mention or try to copy Jin Yong at least once per series (in Love O2O, it was the mentioning of the Sweeper Monk from DGSD and the battles of the Condor couples).
