I am quoting what you said here: "EL ending had the guy resurrect and run to the girl towards the end. That is so... wrong. This is a male dominated world. The girl should be running to the guy instead."

LOL, did you even watch Eternal Love Ten Miles Peach Blossom??? From memory, it was Bai Qian (female lead) running to Ye Hua (Male Lead) LOL. I even went back to confirm, and I was right, it's Bai Qian running up to Ye Hua... Don't spread misleading information if you don't even have the correct information.

Eternal Love have the Female lead (Bai Qian) running up to the Male Lead (Ye Hua), same as what happened in ALP where Shang Gu ran to Bai Jue.

In the end, if you don't like the drama, that's your problem, for missing out the beauty to this story/drama, does it matter what the Douban ratings is??? Everyone have different preferences, and douban ratings and comments can also be influenced by 'paid-haters' to rate the show down.

For me, those toxic comments are usually what made me want to watch it to see "how bad" it is, but when it turned out it isn't bad at all, and they're just misleading information, it just makes me think that those people who made those comments must really be blinded by their biasness against that drama.

In the end, I LOVE ALP on my end, and I also LOVE TMOPB, so both these dramas will hold a special place in my heart. Those who hates it, and hates ALP is surely missing out IMO.

It doesn't ruin my enjoyment and love for ALP, but when I see other dramas don't deserve such high ratings and this one deserve high rating but got lower than those dramas, I get annoyed lol. This drama deserves an 8.9 at least imo (it deserves a higher rating than AOL imo)

It actually decreased... Before was 8.6... This drama deserves at least an 8.9 imo.

Oh then you should check out Chibiaya channel on Youtube since hahaha, she's been making FMV of this pair on her end. I also wouldn't mind them filming another drama together as a couple, since they do definitely have chemistry, and I have seen their live-stream too, it feels like they are flirting with each other haha 😂This is a clip of their live-stream to see for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJjSVRRd5yk (and LOL, the part how Dan Wei is so upset that she didn't drew eyes for him LOL is so hilarious haha 😂 😂. They really do have chemistry!!!

IKR 😅😅 Well, we definitely know how to relate to each other about being dismissed there LOL 😭😭

No, straight couples don't LOL, I meant, the BL moments in Miss the Dragon, I was surprised it passed censorship 😅Ah I see, yeah, then it's encounter, since I am not going to purposely jump into watching his dramas. But I will for Yunxi and Xu Kai respectively LOL. Yeah, hopefully Zhu Zan Jin won't, otherwise, I will seriously label him as a scheming bastard on the roles he played (since it's the third time now LOL 😂).

No, they are young mortals, because if you go back to watch episode 16, after Bai Jue defeated Xuanyi, the God Realm was closed, and the those young disciples was sitting on top of the mountain and saw the falling stars which represents 'god', and one of the young students said: "Master said that if we practice hard, we could become immortals", so they have not ascended to being an immortal yet. It actually is seen in other Xianxia as well, that young mortals, or mortals, if they cultivate hard, they can ascend to being an immortal. E.g. Another drama where this was pointed out was in Miss the Dragon, where the FL last life, where she cultivates in Kunlun Mountain, she was supposed to cultivate and become an immortal, that's why she worked so hard on her end, and Longyan was also waiting for that day to come so they can finally be together. So looking back at ALP, Bai Shuo, if she cultivate/practice hard, she can ascend to being an immortal, which she would have been by by the end of ALP time line, since 503 years have passed since then, so I am guessing 'how' she ascend to being immortal, will probably be touched on in the novel (although I have not read the novel for Tian Qi x Bai Shuo).

Yeah, actors/actress do take time to get better, and with each drama they take on, they can improve on it, and for being a couple in a drama, they need to get a long as well, because if not, then it will be hard to spark that chemistry IMO. But everyone is different in seeing how one portrays a character. For me, I love Xu Kai and the way he expresses his emotions, and love, especially his micro expressions <3 So, you can watch FIYS when you feel like it to see for yourself. Talking about it, I do feel like rewatching FIYS hahahaha.

We all want a family of 3 between them.... 😭 😭 Keep saying this, and hoping for a miracle 😭

Yeah, how they cut that boat scene out from ELOD, don't understand why they did it, but at least they showed us it in the end, so that's still good. But for ALP, they deserve to have a more fulfilling and extended ending 😭 😭 Although I am happy that they give us a father-son moment in episode 48, I will always cherish that/those scenes, but still a family of 3 on the same screen!!! 😭 Yeah, for S2, let's hope they can make a come back in S2. I already miss Bai Jue x Shang Gu 😭 😭

Honestly, unless you can provide the episode to what you're talking about, after rewatching this from the beginning several times, I did not remember or see Zhi Yang mention it will come back 'every' 180,000 years.

No True Gods know about Bai Jue plans that he suppressed it aside from Bai Jue and Gu Jun, and then later Tian Qi.

As for the whole "If it will come back", the word "If" was used, so it's an uncertainty if it will come back since the Trials of Tribulation only happened once so far... they don't know if its a recurring thing that keeps coming back, but to them, although they knew Power of Chaos can stopped it, 'its best to be prepared' in case it does. Just to be prepared for it. It doesn't mean that it will come back 100%. Its them expecting for the worst, even when they know already Power of Chaos should be able to stop it for good(permanently), since this only happened once, they only knew that it could be stopped with Power of Chaos, and if its a recurring thing since back then, beside Shang Gu before she was born, who was the one who stopped the Tribulation of Chaos? Surely if its a recurring thing than it will be recorded in the history or something for them to refer to, but no one knows what this whole Tribulation of Chaos was about until it really happened. Xuanyi rebelled against it, when he found out and when he went against his own destiny, to make Shang Gu the scape goat. If it is a recurring thing, he wouldn't want to take over the God Realm and claim his title as "previous chief god" when he attacked the God Realm, because if its a recurring thing then the next person to sacrifice will be him lolll.

Anyways, for me, this whole Tribulation is a test to see if one is worthy to be the Chief God, but I already commented this previously on my first reply so that's my stance to this.

I actually enjoyed it from the first episode, lol, and will rewatch the beginning again on my end.

With that important info, it wouldn't be missed, since I don't remember Zhi Yang saying this in the drama after several rewatch.

I do remember that Zhi Yang did told Bai Jue when Bai Jue wanted to take Shang Gu's place for this tribulation, that he can only 'temporarily' sealed/stopped it, not 'permanently' stopped/resolved it, because he didn't have the Power of Chaos core..That's why Shang Gu was needed since if she succeed it will be a permanent thing. This is the difference between having the Power of Chaos vs no Power of Chaos when sacrificing oneself. This is also the reason why Bai Jue went through great pain to obtain the power of chaos on his end

If the Power of Chaos cannot 'permanently' stop or resolve this, then there's no point in using the Power of Chaos to begin with. Since its only 'temporary' ending it not permanent.

Just take it as a one time only, since Zhi Yang never said it comes 'every' 180,000 years. I tried to search the episode where he said it, but couldn't find it nor do I recall Zhi Yang saying this.

And you can read my earlier reply to @Kaleidoscopic if you want. To shed some light (on what was revealed and how I see it)

I went back to watch episode 1 to confirm myself lol, Zhi Yang did NOT said it comes every 180,000 years, but the Tribulation of Chaos is coming in a thousand years.

Honestly, I don't remember Zhi Yang saying it comes 'every' 180,000 years because if so, I wouldn't forget such an important information 😅

Zhi Yang did not said that, to confirm, I went back to watch the first episode again. Zhi Yang said that the Tribulation of Chaos is coming in a thousand years, not every 180,000 years.

None of them knew about the Tribulation of Chaos or what it is. They only knew that it can only be stopped by the Power of Chaos.

Zhi Yang also told Bai Jue when Bai Jue wanted to take Shang Gu's place for this tribulation, that he can only 'temporarily' sealed/stopped it, not 'permanently' stopped/resolved it, because he didn't have the Power of Chaos core..That's why Shang Gu was needed since if she succeed it will be a permanent thing. This is the difference between having the Power of Chaos vs no Power of Chaos when sacrificing oneself. This is also the reason why Bai Jue went through great pain to obtain the power of chaos on his end

If the Power of Chaos cannot 'permanently' stop or resolve this, then there's no point in using the Power of Chaos to begin with. Since its only 'temporary' ending it not permanent.

How can ratings dropped like that? 😰😰 Unless the pre existing votes was marked down or something....otherwise new comers that votes won't influence the rating to dropped! 😭😭

When those people can still make those comments about Bai Jue, despite the story already explained it in detail, then I have nothing more to say to them, since they showed me they don't really understand or empathize with Bai Jue and his perspectives. It is already clear that Bai Jue will do anything to protect/save Shang Gu/Hou Chi, so their misunderstanding, even after watching this entirely, I can never understand (still annoying when seeing those type of comments though). For me, I will always love Bai Jue on my end and he have my respect since his sacrificial love to protect Shang Gu/Hou Chi have touched me in throughout the entire story.

Exactly. Only Tian Qi and Gu Jun knows about it, and well the others from Qingchi Palace, but Bai Jue/Qing Mu didn't know about it. Honestly, if they really paid attention to those scenes, paid attention at all.... They would know that it isn't only Hou Chi hurting, Bai Jue was hurting too, if not more IMO. Do you think it pleases Bai Jue to see Hou Chi hurting like this? -_- My God.... it really annoys me when people have so little faith/trust in Bai Jue, because if they paid attention, they would know that he would die/is willing to die in her place if it meant that Hou Chi/Shang Gu is protected/safe and alive...

To me, when they said that, it just shows me they don't understand Bai Jue's perspectives and his suffering. They don't believe that even if Tian Qi or Gu Jun wasn't there, Bai Jue would never let it get that far, because in the end, him flying up to save Hou Chi and wanted to help her regain control, already showed that he won't just stand there and do nothing. After all that Bai Jue has endured, how can they have so little faith in him? Their lack of faith in Bai Jue is beyond my understanding.

Yeah, you should haha. I already did on my end, so it's easier to refer back to later lol

I see, I see, I think the part when Shang Gu asked "Are you Qing Mu?", and then "Are you Bo Xuan", it's showing us that she didn't expect that she was able to get back the 'complete' Bai Jue on her end, so she was expecting for the worst, to me, how she asked him if he's Bo Xuan or Qing Mu, it already revealed/showed that she have complete memories on her end of the times when she's Hou Chi, but to her, she didn't directly ask if he's Bai Jue at first is because deep down, I believe that's what she wants him to be, but is afraid that if she asked, she will not get the answer that she wants, like you know that feeling when you sometimes want it to be true, but is afraid of asking, and then getting the answer you might not want? So she started of by asking him if he's Qing Mu or Bo Xuan first; when Bai Jue expresses 'no' to both these questions, and when he called her "Shang Gu", you can see her subtle reaction, she was 'surprised', and then how he said "I am Bai Jue", and how she ran up to him and expresses her happiness, because she was expecting for the worst, that even if he can come back, it won't be the complete Bai Jue, so it's either Qing Mu or Bo Xuan, but in the end, what surprises her and made her so happy was that she not only got back Bai Jue, but the him who have his complete memories, so in that moment, it truly expresses how blissful this moment was to her. It was played out well, really, I love their hug and their embrace, despite I keep complaining that we need an extended scene afterwards LOL. But this is what I got out of this scene on my end.

They will always be my favourite couple too!!! <3 <3

Hooray for the love for the 2nd couple in Miss the Dragon!! Indeed they are the show stealer haha 😂

That painful feeling of being ignored and the amount of effort you spent into typing all that, it's not very welcoming (lol). I am glad to know that someone can relate to me about this haha 😂😅

I'm surprised they even passed censorship LOL, but I guess they just took it for comedy purposes LOL 😂😂 Towards the ending just sorta went downhill for me, because so much angst, and when XQX was being controlled, I was full on "!!!" at Mingge Xingjun on my end!!! But luckily they released the remaining episodes, so I can just jump to the ending and find out if my favourite pair got a happy ending, otherwise, I will go bonkers with these cliff hangers!!😭😭Well for Zhu Zan Jin (actor to Jin Guangyao), I don't know what characters he will be playing later, but I am not purposely going to jump into watching a drama of his LOL. If he happens to be starring in a drama I am watching, then let's hope that he will play a decent character this time, and not another scheming bastard 😅😅 Although I have to say I really enjoyed the part when Xue Qian Xun slapped Mingge Xingjun on the face, when he was just aiming for the firefly that the FL sent to Longyan HAHAHA 😂😂😂😂

I think it was stated that mortals can ascend to immortals, because isn't that what Bai Jue was teaching those students in the beginning? They started off as mortals, right? And then it was said that if you cultivate enough, you can ascend to being immortal. So I think this pretty much plays true for Bai Shuo, the little girl that Hou Chi saved, and how Qing Mu taught her martial arts or something. I think it will be explained in that novel sequel. But I have not read it yet, so don't know much about it. If there's a S2, let's hope hard that they will bring back Xu Kai and Zhou Dong Yu to play Bai Jue and Shang Gu, I want to see them again, and the original casts too, ofcourse.

That's good that it's a happy ending for your favourite pair in both drama ahahah. I know the ending to 'The Legends', it was implied through their son/daughter that looks like them, that they are happily married, so it's good enough. For AMA , good to know it's a happy/fulfilling ending ^^

And, yes, FIYS is only above ALP by 0.1 points, so let's hope ALP will surpass it, because IMO, ALP is definitely better than FIYS haha, although I did enjoy/like FIYS too 😂 That's my opinion of Cheng Xiao for you, but no hate to the actress, this is what I got from watching the drama, although I don't know you have to watch it yourself to see. Cheng Xiao and Xu Kai are both young, but I feel like probably Cheng Xiao needs a bit more practice through expressing her character, but I guess, the more she films/acts, the more she will get better later on. Yeah, she will indeed have room for improvements. For me, Xu Kai practically carry the whole show in FIYS 😂 Although I did love the other characters too, and there's two characters I noticed that have played in ALP too hahaha 😂

At least ELOD they gave us a family of 3 spending time together 😭😭 I wanted that so much for ALP 😭😭 Although it was cut out from the original ending for ELOD (the boat scene), I was like "where is it????" I remember I saw a clip of it, so why was it cut???? But turned out they cut it -____- but at least we still saw that clip... Can we get one special clip post canon, after Bai Jue came back???? 😭😭 I want a bit more than what I was given.... 😭😭 Well, if S2 comes, let's hope we get our wish, and we get the same casts again, and some extended Bai Jue and Shang Gu scenes (same cast please!!!) 😭😭

I will touch on the 'Tribulation of Chaos' side of things, and how I see it. Since I already commented this previously.

Bai Jue told Tian Qi that "if it comes back", so there's no certainty whether it will definitely come back after it's resolved the first time. To me, the tribulation of chaos is just a 'one time' only, that's why Zhi Yang said that it can only be resolved with the Power of Chaos, Bai Jue back then couldn't resolve it, because he doesn't have the Power of Chaos, so if he's going to sacrifice, it only will be able to sealed it temporarily and it will come back after the time runs out. So looking at this comparison, I do think that this Tribulation of Chaos is a 'one time only'

I do think this whole thing is a test though. The Chief God responsibility is to protect the Three Realms and that's their destiny, so when they accepted their destiny, that's them accepting that they will be the sacrifice to stop the Tribulations of Chaos (it's a test to see if they are worthy for that title as Chief God).

Back then, Xuanyi was the first Chief God, but after he found out the destiny of what was installed for him, he rebelled against the God Realm and went against Destiny. He even said that Destiny is the enemy. After he rebelled against his own destiny, and fall to the 'Devil', Shang Gu was born, which her destiny was to replace Xuanyi. Literally, you can say that Xuanyi made Shang Gu the scape goat on something he should have done back then. Well, if Xuanyi accepted his destiny, then there won't be a story to tell us the difference between Xuanyi and Shang Gu.

So when Shang Gu accepted her destiny, to be the sacrifice and stop the Tribulations of Chaos, Bai Jue protected Shang Gu from her destiny, by saving her soul and temporarily sealed the Tribulation of Chaos to stop the process back then.

When Bai Jue found out what exactly was the Tribulation of Chaos, all he wanted was to protect Shang Gu from her destiny. But Shang Gu accepted it because that's her responsibility as the Chief God.

I think this whole thing is like a test, so it was a 'one-thing' only. The story is telling us about Love & Responsibilities. Bai Jue protected Shang Gu from her destiny to replace her instead by obtaining the Power of Chaos, because he loves her, and he can't just sit back and do nothing. His sacrificial love is the core to this story, where it's not about love, but it is also about responsibilities of them being True Gods. While both Bai Jue and Tian Qi loves Shang Gu, they did not take the same paths to achieve the end result. Tian Qi only cared about protecting Shang Gu by sacrificing the Three Realms, and disregarded the innocents in the process, while Bai Jue will protect Shang Gu, by replacing her in this tribulation instead, which is protecting her from her destiny, and bringing peace to the Three Realms. Tian Qi even made a comment in the novel, after he realized Bai Jue's plan (which in the novel, is unlike the drama, he only found out just before Bai Jue sacrificed himself T^T) that his love for Shang Gu can never matched Bai Jue.

So, in the end, Bai Jue was able to come back is because of a 'miracle'; because they have passed this test, and it was also Shang Gu's wish for Bai Jue to return to her. I think it is also because their love has touched the Ancestors God to create this miracle for them, because in the end, they did not disappoint between love & responsibilities (how I see it).

Although I do agree with you about that ending, I am among one of those people who weren't satisfied of that ending, but it's at least better than no hug/embraces at all, since the novel didn't even give us a hug/embrace. Still, I really wanted to see an extended scene where it shows a family of 3, I will even be content to see Yuan Qi at the scene, where he ran up to hug Bai Jue, and welcome him back and Bai Jue pick Yuan Qi up in his arms, and then showing us the family of 3, how blissful their moments will be from this moment on.

Thank you for saying this in a more simple way! I am sick and tired of people not understanding Bai Jue, and saying "Bai Jue just stood there and didn't do anything at all". I mean, do people honestly have that little faith in Bai Jue, that he will absolutely do nothing at all, to save Hou Chi / Shang Gu? After all he's been doing, Shang Gu/Hou Chi safety/well being is his main priority. Why do they doubt Bai Jue??? After all that he's shown us (omg)

white-haired devil, Wu Huan? Well you got your wish, she will suffer eternally, never die, or age, but suffer eternally. I just wish Jing Zhao got a heavier punishment than what she was given, because I hated her on my end.

According to the spin off novel, sequel, they did reincarnate Yuemi, shes Bai Shuo, the girl who Hou Chi saved in Dibei Town where Qing Mu then teaches her cultivation. I'm guessing it will be explained in the sequel novel how she ascended to being an Immortal/Goddess, but in the drama it was revealed, which opens up for a sequel. The novel will focus on Tian Qi x Bai Shuo(Yuemi's reincarnation), that have not been translated yet

Also, losing 2.5 points just for the fact that they didn't reincarnate Yuemi, is a bit harsh imo.
