Just finished this and I saw a comment asking why such an evil character was granting wishes. Like wdym? Those wishes came with strings. For thousands of years, he was just fucking around with humans. Iblis kind of reminded me of Rumpelstiltskin from ouat with his screwed up wishes. Nothing is free. It's only when he met KKY that he changed. And it's a drama so obviously they're going to be ridiculous.
Anyway, I enjoyed this and loved how unserious they were from the beginning. Suzy's outfits rocked. After watching too many Chinese dramas, endings don't faze me. I've become desensitized to them. Throw anything my way. I'll take it and move on.

Just completed this and while it was good, the ending was just meh. What is it with Chinese dramas and endings? Are they incapable of giving us a good, satisfactory ending or is it that they don't care?
I was so annoyed especially since they had so much time but they chose to plaster some useless scenes and be done with it.
Also, why did they cut the part where MZY went back in time and met his father? It was such an "OMG" scene for me only to see them gloss over it like it was nothing. I expected more.
Anyway, first time seeing TXW acting so serious. She wasn't playful and bubbly like her other characters. Idk how to explain it but it was a pleasant surprise. It's been a while since I finished Xu Kai's drama. I'd love to see him in a role similar to Xue Wei (sokp) and Feng Suige (fh)

😂😂😂 I dubbed him as the 'jie jie' squad together with Qingcheng from sword and beloved

Now I need spoilers. How is it different?

I thought it would be like the Imperial Coroner but the last episode was quite surprising. They decided to off anyone they didn't need. Am I insane for liking the ending of that empress and noble consort? Out of everything, I thought theirs was fitting 😂
I rated this 9. 8.5 for the drama and the extra 5 for the ending song. Never skipping a Zhou Shen song.

If you see a negative comment, ignore it because this drama deserves all the love. After watching GoT, I kind of got used to characters dying so that has never bothered me.
Now why should you give it a try? Feng Suige. I absolutely love how Chen Zhenyuan portrayed him. What I love most about Suige is that he wasn't afraid to tell the emperor to go f*** himself. I despised Liu Yuning's character in ADWAD for tolerating his father's bull shit just because he was the emperor. Like screw filial piety. If he's a shitty parent then who cares about his profession? I like that Suige didn't tolerate shit. That slap he gave Zhuang Shen was top tier. The way he didn't hesitate to break that moron's neck in ep 2? Epic. This was such a breath of fresh air.
And is it weird that I was rooting for Xiyang and that crazy emperor? I tried to hate him but honestly, that nutcase Jingshi was worse for creating that death camp. Not that Jingyan was any better but I just couldn't bring myself to hate him. Although I don't think anyone would top Feng Pingcheng. I swear these dramas be introducing me to a new kind of psycho every day.
Anyway, this was a solid 9 for me. Would prolly be 9.5 if Xiyang and that crazy emperor of hers had a different ending.

I'm only on episode 6. Someone tell me this foolish Princess regrets agreeing to that marriage

It wasn't that bad. I mean Hongye and Jingting were shitty parents and the ending was unnecessary but I liked everything else. Instead of sword and beloved, they shoulda called something else. If you're looking for romance, you won't find it here. The whole FSMM series was a shit show but this was the only one that didn't bore me to death.
Of course I don't agree with the ending. How is it that three generations all died trying to kill the same person? And that asshole Jingting? The story could have done without him.
I keep wondering where the scriptwriters went wrong or maybe the books are just that bad? I'll try watching the anime before passing judgement.
As someone who watched this after BR, I couldn't believe Fan Yunfei was also Su Changhe. He was too adorable 🥰. I look forward Huasen's other characters.

Isn't DY like a prequel to TBOY? Because we get to see the backstories of the parents/masters of Xiao Se and his crew. Actually, I think they're all in the same universe but to avoid criticism, the author decided to give BR a happy ending when it should be sad😂. It's like saying the fox spirit series are set in different universes because the first one flopped so bad.
I haven't read the books but I've watched all three and I don't care about the endings as long as the stories were good. Which they were.

What's with the rating? I thought it would be higher. I just finished it and the fight scenes were great. I like the trust between Su Muyu and Su Changhe. Ngl at some point I was convinced Changhe would betray Muyu but I'm glad he didn't. Their friendship prevailed. It was worth the watch.
I normally don't rewatch anything (does watching donghua count as rewatching 🤔) but if I ever start, it would either be this, blood of youth or dashing youth.

That makes sense. I was wondering why she was getting little screen time. Thanks

I'm on episode 19 and I'm wondering, isn't Peng the leading lady? Or am I wrong?

I'm on episode 22 and what do you mean you can't do anything to him since he's a prince? How about breaking his legs, hands and cutting off his tongue? He will still be alive after. Won't he? 🙄

Have you watched dashing youth or mysterious lotus casebook?

I could curse this emperor until the end of time and it still won't be enough. What right does he have to hate Nan Heng? From what I understand, he was the one who defied the previous emperor's edict so he could marry Heng's mother. It was his greed that caused the empress's death. If he hadn't insisted on marrying nobles consort Gao, why would her brother go to such lengths to secure the throne for his nephew? Not that I'm excusing that bastard's crimes but the truth is the emperor brought all that tragedy unto himself. Why is he blaming Heng? And why is Heng accepting all this bullshit?
For once, I want to see a prince who doesn't tolerate his father's crap in the name of filial piety. Give me someone who walks away and starts afresh somewhere else because he knows his worth. Why bother trying to please someone who will never appreciate you?
Let's be honest, someone with Nan Heng's intelligence can easily start his own kingdom and make it more prosperous than Jing. I bet this stupid kingdom would be struggling to survive if it wasn't for him. Why do writers always insist on writing righteous princes? Why is rebellion the only option?
Ugh, don't even get me started on that eighteenth prince. Literally everyone, even the emperor knows he's not fit to be the crown prince. That kingdom will be reduced to ashes under his rule. So why are people even supporting him?
Also, out of eighteen children, is there no other trustworthy prince? Or are the others princesses? 🤔

It's the way Nan Rui's bodyguard is always done with him. You can tell he regrets picking him over Nan Heng 😂

I'm on episode 8 and the FL is annoying me. Why is everything Nan Heng's fault? I get that he's the villain but for someone who comes from a modern world, why can't she use her brain? Anything to do with the fight for the throne is never that simple. No one involved in politics is truly innocent. Girl, take a few steps back and assess the situation before passing judgement.
Other than that, I'm enjoying this.
The guard dropping a pot on the other guard's head because he was annoyed had me rotfl. Poor guy 😭

I don't know why I put off watching this for so long. It was pretty good and my sister who is obsessed with the donghua (and always trying to convince me to watch it) said it was better compared to Duoluo continent. Couldn't agree more.
First time seeing ZYR (only because I haven't watched his other dramas) and I liked him. His arrogance, the way he walked and his deep voice was epic. And after watching a few episodes of the donghua, I think ZYX is perfect as Wu.
My curiosity has been piqued and I can't wait for sn3 so I'm going to watch the donghua. Thank you to the commenter who gave us the exact episode of where to start.

I'm so done with open ending dramas. How hard is it to give us a proper ending? Will one episode in the real world kill these directors and scriptwriters? 😤

Uh why does it feel like they edited out the saucy parts? The bathtub scene and now the kiss on episode 25 where Yinlou bites Duo. Am I imagining things or were these parts edited out? What was the reason?
