FL is not even a love interest at this point. That may come in season 3. Donghua (animated version) has covered about 1/4 of the first novel (150+ episodes) and it hasn’t even reached the “romance” with FL point, to the best of my knowledge.

There’s no FL in this drama. There’s only Main Character and his journey to immortality. There’s no romance like a typical drama.

Interestingly, apparently Nangong in the drama appears more frequently than in the novel (up to this point). HL & NGW storyline is later in the book.

Episode 26: was it Nangong Wan who killed the bad guy 5 years ago? It looked like her but the robe color was different.

No episodes on Monday AND Sunday this week (11 and 17). Is that even legal for a C-drama?! 🤣😁

Pretty much being on ANYONE’s train/ship is going to be disappointed because there’s no romance

We wish all the best to Senior Chen! 🙏🙏🙏

To be fair, they only showed 2-3 corpses with faces and only 9 of 12 got recognized in the end. We don’t know how long ago those 2-3 got killed so it may be plausible. Or, just think of censorship not allowing to show gory details. At any rate, parents would be able to recognize them by clothing, accessories, etc. The son (and the father) aren’t super smart, for sure, but it felt like they buried them in the mansion so they could build those statues and suppress evil spirits from the victims. Not smart by modern standards but maybe back then it made sense :)

Question: would they be able to somehow connect the ending (of Ep. 30) to what was shown in beginning of Ep. 1? That scene takes place about 200 years after current events. I’m wondering if they are going to somehow explain it or just leave it as is.

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! 😊
