....I think you misunderstood what I said. Nowhere in my comment did I say QT should be calling him Gui'er. All I said was I like the way his father address him and how it sound. I understood that was only something his father, mother an elder would call him

That makes a lot of sense. When i think of CY character in this drama, in my mind I like the way his father address him more than the way other people address him. Gui'er sound so much more endearing and close than the entire thing said out. 😂Ofc they are father and son after all. Different people addresses him differently thoughout the drama but I just feel the way QT addresses him now that she is suppose to be his signficant other half is the most awkward for some reason. If they ever get married, is she gonna keep calling him shao ye? Fu jun is probably better. They should married already 🤣

I just believe in a relationship, both side should be of equal status, she shouldnt have to feel so indebted, subservient to him as if he were her god. Though I understand regardless, they trust each other very much.

Btw is it really that bad? I thought it was an auspicious and wealthy name. Why did they name him Fu Gui? I forgot. Was it ever mention in LiP

Ahh you mean it being the usual name for pets or servant? I remember Nan Heng's subordinate in ADWAD also has that similar name. lol well maybe some other ways to address him would work better as well but my point was the lack of romance between the couple and thats just my opinion

Will correct on the shao, thanks xD

I've been so spoiled last quarter with the romance dramas main couples all trying to one up each other with more and more intimate scenes than one another that this lack of affirmation of affections in Sword and Beloved is really unsatisfying.

Everyone around Fugui and Qingtong seem to believe they are lovers and they themselves did not really denied it but they never had any deep conversation about their relationship as lovers. Its all very vague with barely any heartfelt affectionate love scenes, not even hugs and handholding that confirms it (that last one dont count, cuz its more like hes comforting her while she still grieving her brother). They just soo polite with each other lol. Fuqui always wears that same stoic expression. QT kept calling him FQ Shao ye also does not help either, does she see herself as his lover or his maid?

Seriously, I can feel the main leads have chemistry but the way the director have their characters interact with each other just cancels most of it out.

lol I watched it before making that comment. they are definitely bonding, but seem more like companionship/friendship sort of way, he hasnt admitted to liking her and its not anything passionate yet. I feel like him saving her because he believe its the right thing to do. He did say if it was other innocent demon struggling to survive, he would also do the same, altho I'm not sure how much of that is true, since you wouldn't sacrifice 10 years lifespan for just anybody. Lets see when he will realize his true feeling

The lack of romance in dramas this quarter is dreading... Even with S&B, I'm not feeling it much and if when it does it get stronger (probably more slow burn), it feels like it will just serve as a plot device for the story to move forward, so WQFG can reach his understanding of the sword and all worldly things better.

Cheng Yi definitely has much more chemistry here with his male bestie and FL than in Journey of Legend

Well, I'm glad they decided to aired this romance drama along with the other 2 big male lead centered dramas or else it would feel pretty stuffy this quarter.

I am a little bitter with this ending. Why can't they show the main couple live happily together in ancient time till old age then when she die, she returns back to modern as if it was a dream??? Srsly poor guy...

Thats so sweet of him to explain. Its understandable, Ming Xian identity was never just about her but also a huge royal secret concerning her family and her realm. Although they trust each other, there is also a lot at stake.

The emperor made enemies with both the Prime Minister and the Marquis families in order to alienate his First son and fuel his ambition for the throne. Talk about sad and twisted...

I need the recipe for the lamb skewers! 🤤

Yes, I believe in Yummyx3 case, its the long distance relative stretching multiple generations before you. In WDBTD case, it means the originator, an ancient leader/creator/establisher in the cultivation world, not necessarily related by blood. Aside from being extremely powerful, Sima Jiao was from an ancient clan family that gave power and protection to the entire cultivation world, although he was younger than those leaders at the Celestial Palace, everyone still honors him and his family by referring to him as their ancestor or grandmaster.

Also, lyric in one of the song from WDTBD also have the line "Even if this life is doom to endless calamity, I still want to be entangled with you, through all lifetimes, unchanging..."

I've been hung up on that line since watching WDTBD, I just thought its really romantic lol

By "Ancestor" I meant the MLs in both dramas lol If you watch both, you should notice sometimes she call them "ancestor" or "ZuZong"

and of course when I said entangle, it meant she got caught in a love relationship with them

WYL always get entangle with her "Ancestor" in both WDBTD and Yx3 lol

Absolutely adore this drama!❤️

I'm wondering why Ji Bo Zai poisoned Ming Yi when they were fighting in the competition (Ep1) because that was going overboard as he already was going to win. It seems like so far, it's just speculation on her part, perhaps the one who poisoned her was someone else? Can someone who read the novel please enlighten/spoil me a little on that?

depends if you are easily offended by the cultural/religious aspect of the show or not

Same. Its so heartbreaking. Its just one wish to save his beloved but none of the humans was willing to give it up...😡 how ugly and foolish
