    I've already said this a hundred times already, but I really, really love the way that this Guo Jing is portrayed. Humble but firm. Powerful but kind. Sentimental but passionately patriotic. This Guo Jing has such a strong presence on screen. Just about every scene he's in, he captures your attention and makes you really interested to see what he does next. And he looks so awesome when he angry. The way he just glares at Guo Fu and the way he yells at her when he found out what she did to Yang Guo...

    Oh man, I'm not gay, but even my heart skipped a beat right there. Huang Rong sure knows how to pick her husband.

    Anyways, speaking of Guo Fu, I see that she finally decided to discard the cutesy airhead act and show us her true colors. Welcome back, Miss Guo. You had me for a couple episodes, but now you've finally went back to the character that we all know and hate.

    Not that happy that there's a flashback in episode 32, but the good stuff outweights the bad. This week was indeed really good.

    I saw that scene in the trailer and it looked fake anyways. The screams more than made up for it. It started out a bit weak, but by the end, I really thought Chen Xiao lost his arm there. Hope this will mean that Yang Guo will be more serious from now on.

    Dugu Qiubai have a love story of his own? LOL

    Isn't he one of the strongest, if not, the strongest character in the whole condor series? The scenes they created for him doesn't look like it. He looks very soft.

    Yeah I don't get why YZ has to give EVERY person with a name in the story a tragic love story. When they added to LMC's backstory it was kind of fresh and interesting. By the time they got to H7G and OYF's flashbacks, I was like "come on, really?". Now they've given DGQB one too, which really kind of wrecks the mystique of the character. One reason why DGQB was so cool was because he was so mysterious, and now they've turned him into a love-struck guy like every other guy in the show. It's *almost* on the level of Phantom Menace when they turned the Force into mitochondria instead of a mystical force that no-one really understands but has come to revere.

    Watching that video made me sick. For some reason, those Guo Fu scenes felt really... unfair, and undeserved. Dancing under a moonlight? Pfft! And Yelu Qi's smiles just break my heart. Poor fool doesn't even know what he's gotten himself into.

    But nice catch, nevertheless. This series has some really nice music.

    I kinda figured she faked her death, especially after Yang Guo made that certain comment after the end of the story, but I really didn't want to face the idea of more flashback. Dugu Qiubai is so talented and smart, except with human scheming and matters of the heart...

    Hey, he's like Zhang Wuji!

    Also, no. As much as I hate Guo Fu, I don't want Guo Jing to kill his daughter and become a kinslayer. He should just settle for cutting off her arm, imo.

    Yang Guo in this series (2014) with one arm is terrible. You can clearly see that he is hiding his arm under his clothes. Terrible camera work. Anyone agree with me?

    GF losing her arm and become a nun...the new Red Serpent Deity might fit her the best. YLQ is better of marrying Guo Xiang and defend Xiangyang hand in hand

    These last few episodes are okay, but nothing particularly great. It still feels like the producers don't entirely understand the original story so their attempts to make changes fall flat. In particular, the Mongol attack on Xiangyang when Guo Xiang was born was supposed to be brutal and the defenders held on by a string. In this rendition, it looked like a minor inconvenience at most. Even when the show stayed faithful to the original, it doesn't always work out. Here, I find that the show doesn't really know when and when not to express internal dialogue. For example, Xiaolongnu talks way too much when she found out she had been raped. Despite all this, I do like the dream sequence and I wish that the show did more with it.

    In comparison with the 2006 adaptation, this one does some things better and some things worse. Generally, the writing in the older version is better while the direction and the music is better in this one. The Xiaolongnu chase sequence is illustrative: in this one, it looks very silly, but at least we get the sense that she could easily catch up to the monks at any time. In the older one, they're all on horseback - thereby ruining the scene. I'd say that these episodes are about equally good for both versions. The 1983 TVB version is far better than both though. It actually made changes that are arguably better than the book version.

    I have one question though - does anyone think it made sense that the giant condor helped save Yang Guo's life? In the book and the other adaptations, Yang Guo had met it and built a rapport before his arm got cut off.

    It's pretty annoying that they put in all that effort to change her character and it amounts to absolutely nothing in the end.

    Dugu Qiubai doesn't work as a flashback character. The scenes don't add anything interesting to his character nor do they say anything about the main story or characters.

    Li Mochou was the one who sang the poem in the book so it's cool that Viann Zhang sings it here. Too bad it's nowhere nearly as good as Teresa Cheung's song. As a side note, the lyrics are based on a Song period poem; and that poem is likely a strong inspiration for this novel.
