Happy 3rd anniversary, everyone!
3 years since the drama first brought in a new wave of fans and introduced one of the most memorable characters ever to the world. 2 years since the curtains fell though the novel and its characters live on in our hearts. And almost 3 years since I first posted in this thread, asking if anyone had a comparison between the original and revised versions. How time has flown!
Nice to see you here liddi!
It is amazing how I still find myself seeing echoes of Xiang Liu or Xiao Yao in different dramas. Has anyone watched 雀骨 Key to the Phoenix Heart, which has unexpectedly ranked as one of my favourites for many reasons. Xiao Wuyi reminds me a lot of Xiang Liu in terms of how he always put himself front and center in any battle, fiercely protecting everything and everyone he loves - his provision for Xie Jiayu, knowing that he goes to certain death. Even the lines that were used to describe him echoed Xiang Liu so much - giving his all for everyone else and leaving nothing for himself, wanting her to live well after his death.
It was on my radar, but I hadn't decided whether to watch it or not. I'll have to add it to my PTW list ^^
Incidentally, it appears Xiang Liu's thread (Xiang Liu's Luxury Lounge) in LYF S2 page no longer exists? As such, the novel to LYF to A Lifetime Love mapping is also gone. Come to think of it, is it my imagination or we can only see 6 discussion threads for each drama page? Does it mean the remaining discussion threads have been deleted? Argh... all the ramblings!
I went and saved a personal copy of the story of Boyazi and Zhong Ziqi post that Kokuto helped me find in this discussion thread so I could refer back to it more easily and still have a copy even if this thread were to be deleted, out of an abundance of caution. But it really would be a shame to lose hundreds of pages of discussion if that were to happen.
Also a shame to lose any of the smaller discussion threads. I think that thread was the one where Elise originally shared the comment that inspired my YaoLiu fic and where the initial premise was fleshed out a bit. Bit sad that that discussion can't be accessed anymore.
