The payment is not over with Youku.You still need to pay for the express package at the end of the drama.It is…
Yes, unfortunately. I watch on Netflix because it is free song lyrics 😅 But Netflix does not do express package, so I still need to pay express on Youku.
I'M SO DONE WITH YOU GUYS and all your spoilers, I'm always 1 ep behind you (damn Youku Vip). You force me to…
The payment is not over with Youku. You still need to pay for the express package at the end of the drama. It is different with the 'early access' or TVOD you have paid as 'express watch'.
Those who are familiar with the term ML, SML, FL & SFL may get a bit confused with the characters in this drama. The 4 main actors are on equal billing, so there are 4 main characters with 2 main couples (2 MLs & 2 FLs) Not so sure how the order was made but since this drama is also promoting on Weibo, it is likely made based on their Weibo accounts. Ju Jingyi has 33.679 millions followers Joseph Zeng has 26.241 M Chen Duling has 11.141 M Tian Jiarui has 3.45 M
The 4 actors and their studios have been actively posting photos related to the drama and are gaining more praises and followers.
Finally finished all 9 episodes and I can say that this drama surely deserves the 10K Cfans have been dedicating their time and fund to achieve.
Starting this drama because the director is famous for the beautiful cinematography and compared to FOF and MJTY, the wuxia delivery feels much better, the martial arts moves and dialogues between characters. The actors are not only easy on the eyes but slayed their characters and made the drama very enjoyable to watch. Tian Jiarui is even better in this drama with the character's 'dual personalities portrayal. I like it when he played the suffering deity Chi Wen and is instantly mesmerised by Jiling's stunning and bright smile. I cannot wait to watch how awesome TJR would be in delivering the character's 'vulnerable moments'.
Both Ju Jingyi and Chen Duling are insanely gorgeous and out of this world in this drama. They are immersed into the beautiful, confident, arogant, alluring and cunning nine-tailed foxes perfectly.
Joseph Zeng was born to be the hot righteous demon. He nailed and delivered the character like the good actor he is.
The chemistry is CHEMISTRIFYING for both couples. The story is much lighter and adorable for now, with smart jokes here and there to keep the viewers entertained. They are heading into the angst arc and based on the teasers, boxes of tissues are necessary.
My apology for the long rant. This drama is my new love 💕
MDL rating progress: 8.2 - 7.8 - 7.7 - 7.9 - 8.0 - 8.1 😊 Heat index progress: Day 1: 5885 Day 2: 9231 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Ongoing: 9562, and the day is still long... VOS fans are winning! 🥳😘💕

Yes. The cast list is amazing and the director is famous for beautiful cinematography and enchanting story.
It is more Xuanhuan tho, not Xianxia. The fighting scenes are well executed for the director is famous for combining one on one combat with CGI thus delivering the smooth and finesse level of wuxia
Yes, it is tougher when it reaches 9000. Just like 29K on Tencent. 10.5 is very high, like above 30K on Tencent. iQIYI has the same highest heat index as Youku. But the heat index is not the most important. Number of sponsors, airing rights & merchs have big effect too. Marketshare on Yunhe & Kuyun are also favoured by C-entertainment, more reliable than Douban. IMHO
