She said a few months before bad things happened the puppet lost control (she lost control of him?), he ran into the woods and she couldn’t find him.

Yes, she’s a very good character and we all feel for her

No info yet

We don’t know yet. Some people suggested places in a novel that’d make a natural ending point but no one knows what the creators will do. Probably, having season 2 will depend on popularity of this season and $$$.

Just think of a sect as a large company. It’s hard for top-level executives to control what’s going on with regular workers. And just like any workplace, there are bad people, scheming people, and lazy people. Well, hopefully most companies have a lower mortality rate 🤣

Yes, I meant aside from that. Like being safe from that creepy dude, doing well with her apothecary, etc. And doesn’t she eventually get reincarnated and becomes his concubine (?) or something like that?

Wow, I didn’t know TG channels shared content like that 😳

Good but you can let it finish and see reaction to the ending.

Based on what one character said in Ep. 16, it’s been about 10 years.

😢… figures… hopefully she lives a good life! 🙏

Coincidentally (or not?), this wedding was also red 🫣

Very interesting, thank you. That’s probably why some actors tend to focus on historical dramas instead of switching genres, correct?

We have to let it go… Trying to correct episode length is as futile as removing “romance” tag.

Dong Xuan’Er and Mo Cai Huan are taking turns being jealous of one another but they don’t realize who their real rival is 😉😆

Juat think of a sect as a workplace — even if a sect/company is “good”, doesn’t mean everyone work studies/works there is a good person. Cultivators are NOT saints 😁

Uhm… somehow I don’t want to attend any weddings now 😳🥺

Let’s be honest, the first 15-16 episodes of Season 2 are a filler because the writers were trying their hardest to keep the leads apart (let’s make them take turns being in prison!) or to undo their strong bond from Season 1 by having a series of misunderstandings (like the broken pin, etc.). They should have made it a 40-episode single season series 😒And I really like the actors here (even one playing evil 2ML & 2FL), enjoy music, sets, etc.

Haha… I forgot it’s a historical C-drama so I should have worded it “whomever voiced” 🤣 I only accidentally stumble on nuggets of info about voiceovers like here or with LBFAD (Dylan Wang didn’t voice ML). Looks like WCR’s character was voiced by Duan Yi Xuan (the idol? 🧐). Is it true this practice is more common in historical dramas to make actors sound more authentic?

At some point I was so annoyed at writers of dramas I was watching at the time, I went back and re-watched Are You the One 😳 It’s not a mega-budget, high-concept drama, but — personally — I love the fact writers avoided annoying tropes/cliches, characters behaved rationally (i.e., we could understand their motivations), and the tone is relatively light. Well, and the lead pair was so lovely. Definitely would be a hard drama to dub well because the tone of Zhang Wan Yi’s voice is so, so good and Wang Chu Ran also came across well. To be fair, this is coming from me; maybe they sound differently to a native speaker :)

Fair point about reading the screen :) If Asian dramas went multi-season, I’d worry about writing quality. Unless it’s based on a very good, very long book/comic, I shudder to imagine what will happen. Even now, dramas are so full of same tired tropes & cliches and very questionable plot decisions made just to prolong the plot. Even having great cast and solid budget doesn’t help. Most recent example is Flourished Peony and its sequel. They should have made it one 40-episode series instead of coming up with ever creative ways to keep main heroes apart in season 2 😒😠😤
