Haha yes! As someone who plays Onmyoji Arena and LOL they have a lot of similar champions that may or may not be playing for similar roles XD But Onmyoji Arena has a simpler map and less about warding etc XD

I just saw an ad on weibo!! It says it will air 6/23 at 8pm I assume the rumor is real now?!?!

I've been seeing the 23rd on Weibo!!!

There's a new update on Weibo! On 5/20, the drama is hosting a live event with Xu Kai! It's prob for Chinese Valentines day! I'm guessing they're going to promote the drama soon!

Zhao Lu Si (actress for Leyan) and Liu Yu Ning (actor for Hao Du) reassured their viewers that they'll have a happy ending in one of their live broadcast!! So i'm assuming that Leyan and Hao du will end up together!

I think it's all plotted by the ML and FL. The ML is just playing along with what happened. I think at first the FL didnt know but maybe the "divorce" letter that the ML asked the FL's brother to hand to the FL actually has an explanation for the FL to read. It's all my hunch thou!

They technically aren't "divorced" yet so they can still get back together. And once they get rid of Qiao with evidence, the FL will be back in the house as the head.

Actually I think she's getting thrown out of the house too because she's accusing Qiao for being involved in her mother's death. It's shown when she said that she wouldnt have accused Qiao if she didn't have the evidence. Also at the end of another preview, it shows that the ML wants to divorce her. She was forced outside of the house and Qiao was chasing after the FL to kill her. When Qiao said "that's right I killed her but too bad you can't live to tell the tale," the FL looked away from Qiao and seems like towards someone. This probably means that the ML is actually plotting with her to get evidence from Qiao.

These are my hunches and what I observed from the preview thou!

woah! They posted a short video for valentines day today. It's stunning. Even more excited now.

They're using a game called onmyoji arena!

I'm super excited for this drama! Huge fan of Tan Song Yun and Wallace is a great actor. I saw on Weibo that they received permission, back in Jan, to broadcast it online! And the estimated broadcast date was set to March. So I think there's a chance that it's gonna be aired in Feb if they decided to move it up a couple of weeks! Im hoping that we don't have to go through another long wait like I did for Under the Power T.T waited like a year and a half for that drama to broadcast.

A drama with a smart female lead love it so far

Actually the drama ending for 40 episodes and 46 episodes are the same. It's just whether you watched the tv version or the dvd version. The tv version was cut to 46 episodes because of extra commercials and fewer scenes each episode.

wow tan song yun is really dominating charts this year. Under the Power and Go Ahead were big hits, now this drama.

I remember watching an interview with Go Ahead casts and SWL said that he really relates to LX in certain ways. He also said that there were some scenes where the script didn't say LX was crying but he started to cry when he was acting it out. I guess that's why it's natural because SWL really connected with LX in certain aspects.

I feel a little empty now that it's over because it really was a great drama. I'm watching Unicorn Girl and Miss S right now but I feel like nothing can really beat the production of this drama as of now.

Oh there's actually no love triangle. ZQ doesn't actually treat her that way. He got confused because of his friend. He truly just wanted to be a part of their family (it gets resolved within like 2 episodes haha). And I've seen an interview with the actress Tan Song Yun and she said that she was trying to find out where LJJ started to fall in love with LX. She said that she found that the feelings were there before but it's just that LJJ didn't understand what's the difference between lover's love and family love. Once LX came in she actually realized that what she felt for LX was different from ZQ's. But yeah if you don't feel confortable with the drama then it's your choice to drop it or not. The later episodes don't really focus on their love relationship. It focuses on the family problems the most. Their romantic relationship is in the sidelines. It may be cliche about the childhood friend turned lovers but I feel like this author doesn't really play along with the sterotypes after that if you get what i mean haha. I also really enjoy the little details in this drama.

Funny thing is that LX said the same thing as you. He thought she got together with him out of pity too XD and LJJ proved to him that she didnt

Yeah I'm not here for swl. Like I knew his existence, but I wasn't a fan if you know what I mean. And yeah, like you, I didn't watch his projects from the past because they weren't great. I knew about his previous projects because I usually check out the summary of all the new cdramas here on mydramalist ( a perk of being a chinese speaker I guess is that I can watch dramas without subtitles so I watch tons of them XD). I was about to skip over this drama too but I gave it a chance. It's just that this drama speaks a lot to me about family problems that aren't usually addressed in dramas. I'm a romance drama fan but ultimately I didn't stay because of the romance I stayed for the relationship that the family has. They're healing together as a whole. And I feel like LX is not healing solely from relying on LJJ. He's also healing from his father's care

No, I knew about SWL for the longest time because he goes to variety shows like happy camp and stuff like that. I knew about him as an actor since he was 16. I didn't watched Find Yourself because I didn't like the summary of what I saw tbh. I also seen couple of episodes of another drama of his that he filmed when he was 16 but I dropped that too. So I guess I can't say that I'm sticking to this drama or being delusional about LX's character because SWL is handsome lmao. But if you think it's disgusting and ridiculous then I respect your opinion. Ofc there are some parts of the drama that I wish could be executed differently but overall I believe it's a good drama that talks about different types of family problems that people go through in life. And mental health is a topic that's very taboo in China, so I'm just happy that they're even trying to hint it in the drama.

i'm not attacking you. i'm just saying my perspective of things. I didn't say LX doesn't need treatment. I stated in my previous comments that it's unhealthy for him to be co-dependent on LJJ and i hope he gets the help he needs. The drama really shows how mental health is treated in China. It goes all under the table because it's bad for people's reputations to talk about it or seek assistance.

And honestly, I'm not here for the drama because song wei long is hot or anything. I'm not even a song wei long fan. I never watch a drama just for the actors because if it's not enjoyable to me then it's a waste of my time. In fact, this is the first official drama I watched him in. I started watching the drama because I liked the storyline. It's just different perspectives of things and not being delusional. I respect your opinion and i'm stating mine. It's good to have debates about dramas because it means that there's stuff to talk about.

There's a lot of dramas with childhood friends turn into lovers and there are probably people out there who actually dated their childhood friends. It's the same concept except LJJ and LX here have a stronger bond because of what they went through before. So in my point of view, I can't say it's unrealistic because they're technically neighbors that grew up with each other?

There might not be families exactly like LJJ's but there are a lot of families with problems. There are many people who come from disfunctional families and that's what this drama is showing. For example, I've seen many children who are pressured by their parents like MY's parents. There are also a lot of children being abandoned in the streets because families cannot afford raising them especially in rural China. For example, LX's little sister's actress in real life was abandoned by her parents at her adoptive parent's homes. There are also families where mothers are manipulative of their child because they think it's for their child's sake. All these problems are shown in the drama. On the outside, their family may seem happy but on the inside there's some deep secrets.

I get that you think LX is creepy for his actions sometimes but he apologized for it. He apologized for his mistakes and LJJ accepted that apology. People react differently in ever situation and for LJJ, it didn't bother her to the point where she thought it was creepy. You might react differently in the situation but for LJJ she realized that she was comfortable with LX. I've seen some people comment how creepy LX is for initiating skinship like holding hands, but they've done that since they were young. Even in real life, some people would try to initiate skinship with the person they like. It's not abnormal. Also, if you like someone, wouldn't you try to find out if they're still single? That's what LX is doing, he's trying to find out if she's still single. He even said himself that if LJJ was married he would wait for her to get a divorce. If she didn't get a divorce, he would be a good brother to her and take care of her kids with her. This meant that he wouldn't forcefully make LJJ leave someone if she was happy with that person. For me that's not creepy or else that's like making everyone who is secretly admiring someone a creep.

You might think it's an overkill by putting so many family problems in one drama but I think it really brings light into the problems that some families face in real life. But these are just personal preferences.
