haha true!I actually really appreciate how fast paced this is. It seems scriptwriter also hates dragging plots…
whenever I see ppl complain so much abt very small changes and quick-passing bad tropes (like insignificant love rivals or short misunderstanding arcs) I genuinely lose it bc these people were NAWT there back when xianxias had 68 episodes... they litterally had you watch the chars try to k!ll e/o for 10 episode bc a villain who popped up out of nowhere told the girl the guy murdered her parents or sth and the idiot actually believed it π
can't stand how novel readers lose their sh!t and get so insanely overdramatic every time there are minor changes…
It's the fact that I'm pretty sure if the scriptwriters are the same people, and if things stayed the same for 18 episodes, then the added conflicts will be solved quickly in the 2nd half as well and all this crazy tantrum abt them "ruining" the novel has been over mf NOTHING. Anyways Idk I think I'm not coming back here for now to preserve my sanity.
can't stand how novel readers lose their sh!t and get so insanely overdramatic every time there are minor changes in drama adaptations like damn okay girl Ik where you're coming from but please fvkcing chill and wait for upcoming episodes to actually air and if it ends up being completely sh!t then start complaining π also mind you if this was another xianxia Sima jiao would have mistaken Ruling or the new girl for Tingyan's reincarnation or sth and this conflict would've been dragged for 10 episodes. This is why I try to avoid reading comments when it's on air it litterally sucks all the joy dry out of me bc of how annoying ppl sometimes get....
she also has a severe gay face syndrome π no surprise most of her fanbase is queer women + there are sooo many…
Sigh...fyi people on chinese socials were saying all kinds of terrible snd nasty things about wyl's looks since the day wdbtd started airing. The aura in her predebut pics and the girlfriend gossip becoming a hot search actually ended up overshadowing those horrible hate posts bc she gained positive attention from queer women. Also wyl's career is intact and nobody's cancelling her so idk what the big deal is to mention it here when Chinese ppl themselves are ok with itπ

There's gossip abt celebrities being gay on chinese socials all the damn time I guarantee you nobody cares that much...and even if it was a bad gossip, do you genuinely believe a single Chinese person would actually know or care that two random ppl from the other side of the world are saying wyl is gay in flipping mdl ??? π
Just born to play tomboyish characters in costume dramas omfg https://twitter.com/Iampakkhom/status/1958602784573645077?t=x7xzweA-KTHF9i_6-71DHA&s=19
she also has a severe gay face syndrome π no surprise most of her fanbase is queer women + there are sooo many rumours about her having a gf before debuting (random info dump but some people ship her with wen qi lmao)
I think that's the point. He's supposed to be the naive/light feel to all the darkness by the ML.
To me he doesn't even feel naive tbh. He's just a boring character that stands there and does nothing but minor stuff to move the plot forward...and the actor isn't doing a good job at convincing me that he's cute.
I agree with you. Love him as snake and am disappointed with his human form. The actor did fine in Love of Nirvana…
I feel like they just didn't have the time and budget to cgi a huge snake in all episodes...it's so dissapointing bc xianxia cdramas always turn likable pets into annoying humans and now I'm pretty sure it's a budget thing.
binged the last 5 episodes and it might be an unpopular opinion but I actually dislike the human version of the snake way more than Ruling π Eventhough her char isn't well flashed out and feels disconnected with the rest of the show, her bg story and the moral dilemmas she faces are kind of interesting. Nianjiu on the other hand doesn't have any personality and the actor's super awkward facial expressions just make it difficult for me to watch him and his scenes with yrl...
New things I'm obsessed with: -Tingyan being sooo outspoken with her affection....like her talking about how good he smells and how pretty and delicate his facial features look all the time does THINGS to me. -The author not being afraid of making Sima Jiao cry. Just adds 1000 aura points to his character like please let men actually CRY instead of just growling and spitting blood all the time!!!! - someone on weibo said snother thing that makes xianyu stand out is the fact that it's not begging for pitty from the audience. So many shows these days just scream "see how miserable he/she is" in your face all the time instead of actually trying to make the characters likable and interesting.
You totally took the words I have been saying out of my mouth. Using that scene where she was sulking and drawing…
same I'm not watching a single crappy costume drama that creates crappy lazy conflicts with bad misunderstandings and miscommunication and sells them as "angst" just to stretch the show to 40 episodes π Either give me an actual plot or good romance
I fear you need to lower those expectations for lbtg...the scriptwriter's previous works have all been horrible…
idk maybe I'm mistaking it for the LOTTL. But I'm pretty sure they were really dissatisfied with this being her next project. I won't torture myself with having expectations from it tbh but I hope they let Reba dub herself at least bc her line delivery in the trailer was EATING
In Arthur we trust πI think he's really picky with dramas and characters he play. He might missed a bit with…
I fear you need to lower those expectations for lbtg...the scriptwriter's previous works have all been horrible and even Reba's cfans were boycotting it π
Why the voting here is high but in China platform this drama only has 7.2 rating and a 5.5 on douban?
Even cntez who are always really harsh on idol dramas specially xianxias are saying the douban score is unfair. They opened it way too early (you can see there are only 10k ratings) and tbh the worst it deserved should've been 6. It's pretty much evident that most cnetz are really enjoying it and saying it stands out from many other xianxias so I hope the rating rises later
One of the most hilarious and wholesome tropes in fiction is when there are characters in the story who are totally unhinged red flags but their romantic relationships with their love interests are healthy af π There has been a billion righteous boring saintly immortality cultivator male chars in xianxias I've watched who have constantly tortured the fls with their noble idiocy and lack of communication skills. Yet a vengeful and bitter man like Sima jiao with 101 unresolved mental illnesses ate all of them up in terms of treating the woman he loves with actual care and respect instead of acting like a narcissistic idiot who knows what'd be the best for her while his actions hurt her all the time.
For the 1st time in my life I think I'm not gonna hate an amnesia arc bc I love this cp so bad I litterally need them to meet and experience love for the first time again
