How much did manhua cover? Donghua is still only 1/4 of the way through the first novel.

They’ve bathed together multiple times too! 😳😉

Cutest couple award — Zhou Ye (as Cheng Li Su) + Zhang Miao Yi 🥰☺️

Viewers want more season(s) of this drama but it really depends on financial factors. Especially since apparently economy isn’t doing well and that makes it more difficult to sell advertising (which leads to dramas having less episodes recently). The same team making live action has also been working on donghua (with involvement of the original writer). So many of us probably will switch over to it after the live action ends.

Haha… true, comments are full of spoilers. Would be nice to have Season 2 but it really depends on financial matters.

Yes, I was talking about Wang Ning, Fairy Violet Spirit, but didn’t want to spoil it :)

Shooting on real locations was one of the reasons the budget was so high (that + VFX + huge cast). As you probably know, this is based on a very long novel (well, two novels) and there is also a donghua that’s been ongoing (150+ episodes; has covered maybe 1/4 of first book).

Episode 25 is very bittersweet, sigh 😔

There are 6 episodes left. Drama seems to be doing well, but we don’t know about the financial side of things. Supposedly the budget was quite high for Season 1. If it’s profitable and there’s a good chance of making profit in Season 2, they may end up doing it (assuming Yang Yang agrees to come back).

Ah, got it. Thank you! 😊

He’s a “direct entry into PhD program” (whatever that means) so he’s still an undergraduate for now. A commenter below confirmed FL said ML is “only 20”.

Their relationship started in high school (they were desk mates). Seems it stated in last year of high school (2014) and went for years after that. They were definitely broken up by the time of present day (2024). FL broke up with him because he was a lazy bum.

I just LOVE how every explanation that FL gives to convince her family or others always involves ML somehow. “Lin says ______ “ 🤣🤣🤣

Things are not going so great for the good guys 😔

It’s not a new premise but it’s done very well thanks to the great work by the leads (and screenwriters). Kind of how “You Are My Lover Friend” is not a new concept (friends to lovers) but it’s done amazingly well (and even third pair has their own song on the OST, lol)

One of my recent favorites is The Day of Becoming You (from 2021). Some people didn’t like how things got explained in the end, but I really enjoyed it as it made things more grounded. And it’s one of the funniest C-dramas I’ve ever watched, so good 😊

I need to pay more attention when I re-watch it :) But, to me TRP always felt like a “real” reincarnation/time travel/whatever. This fluffy drama feels more like a dream because they keep showing a comatose person.

If there are more seasons of the drama, NGW may not show up until very end of season 2/beginning of season 3, right? I don’t know how many chapters there were before HL returned and rescused NGW. 🤔

Just think of sects as an equivalent to large corporations in our world. Those corporations aren’t nice and many people who work in them aren’t nice.
