Given how quickly the bad guys are taking over kingdoms and strongholds, I have a feeling a strong barrier would be a nice thing to have for survival 😳

I’d say it’s more on the lighter side. There are so bad things that happen, but the tone is not super serious. Just don’t expect romance. Think of it as an RPG or an action-adventure game — hero is on his journey, leveling up, gathering loot, learning new skills, and so on.

From ELLE article (translated): “Hundreds of millions [of yuan] were invested in special effects! "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" was filmed entirely on location, specifically in Xinjiang and Guizhou, rather than relying on green screen technology. A large number of aerial shots were also used. According to media reports, the crew of over 1,300 people filmed over 160 days in seven locations: Hengdian, Zhejiang; Nalati, Ili, Xinjiang; Hengdian, Karamay, Xinjiang; and Lizhi, Guizhou. The resulting images appear magnificent and authentic!”

Will probably switch over to donghua (animated version of the novel) after the season is over :) The crazy thing is that the novels are so large, 150+ episodes of donghua cover only 1/5 or 1/6 of the books. Someone joked donghua will be over in 2040, but I’m not sure if that’s a joke 🤣😁

Increased morale = better productivity! Maybe that barrier will take less than 5 years to get fixed 😁

Very true. If this were a more straightforward drama, he would have set her up with the artifact crafter guy. But here we have to wait until Season 10 for her to be reincarnated with a spirit root.

Didn’t he spit blood because he was injured? while with Mo, he was hiding extent of his injuries so she wouldn’t worry.

Keep mind this drama is all about ML’s cultivation (path to immortality), so there’s very little romance. It’s best to think of there being just one main character and everyone else — supporting actors. So this is not going to be like, say, LBFAD-level romance or anything like that.

Mortality rate of ML’s friends is very high already 🤣

Yes, and clothes too!

FL’s mom is not very nice to say the least. She is probably in a group chat with FL’s mother from The First Frost and ML’s mother from Our Generation 👿

I think they filed for 40 (but everyone else does that too) but weren’t counting on that number. So there are not 10 episodes worth of material on a cutting room floor.

The scout team will probably find him.

Han Li’s flying boat needs an autopilot and some guardrails 😒

It looked like it was the same actor but the mask never came off so hard to tell.

Ohh… It’s really good but they cut some scenes that set things up, I think. If you are ever going to attempt it again, you have to know that FL’s family caused the breakup and continued to do bad things to ML even after that. But FL is completely unaware of any of those post-breakup events. Some Cnetizens also loved FL’s brother but I found his storyline not very interesting. I watched the drama for the leads (🔥🔥🔥) and really great fire/rescue scenes. Those were really impressive and episode 1 is just a small tease of things to come.

Your chemistry rating between YY and WCR in Fireworks of My Heart?

You may be more perceptive. TBH, they haven’t had a lot of screen time together for me to ascertain their chemistry 😳🧐

Maybe they are being consistent with their “You Are My Glory” characters 🤣

I think she’s just portraying her character well — the FL character doesn’t have any romantic feelings for ML. She’s not like Mo or other women who are openly pining for ML.
