The show's biggest mistake was briefly paring the PY with the first woman who played Yang Cai Wei. Their relationship was interesting because they genuinely felt they came from different worlds. But that special sauce was lost after the swap. The only show I know that successfully did this type of main character swap after the first actress did exceptionally well is 'Alchemy of Souls.'
I haven't seen the legends but Yan Hui's growth was amazing and like you said she was ready to do anything for…
Yup, Shen Li is the same. She'll have one of those moments in the second half. The Legends is based on a novel called Ostentatious Zhao Yao. The FL is very similar to Shen Li.
Jiu Lu Fei Xiang's female leads are badasses and would burn down the world for their love. I love it. Lu Zhao Yao -- The Legends Yan Hui -- Back From The Brink Shen Li -- The Legend of Shen Li
I think the issue I have with SL is that she sometime misleads MF with regards to her affections. Yes, she has…
That's a good point. SL didn't seem to understand how much she was torturing MF. Being friendzoned by the woman you work with and have to see every day is brutal.
In XZ's defense. Yes, he can be incredibly petty, jealous, and indecisive. But that's his internal struggle. He's a lonely man on a unicycle balancing expensive pieces of porcelain (the 3 realms) in both hands and on his head. If he sneezes (or falls in love) he will lose his balance and destroy everything. However, he caught the flu (he's in love) and desperately wants to sneeze violently. 🤣
I love the way ShenLi slaps back at Xingzhi! I live for that and one Reason I love her. especially the watching…
Shen Li may act tough but she can't let go no matter how much XZ jerks her around. What ever happened to out of sight out of mind. She spent her days daydreaming about the dude after he left. lol
If you follow XZ's argument from fate , then each time he will inevitably choose the wrong one. But Shen Li argues…
Yup! The freest and happiest XZ has ever been was when he was a weak mortal being bossed around by SL. 🤣 As an all-powerful god, he's a lonely prisoner. I can't wait to see how the drama adapts some important scenes later.

I agree she'd be happy if XZ or Furong broke the engagement. However, she's resigned to the fact that it's outside of her control. Hence why she's been quietly hoping that XZ breaks it off.
