Welcome welcome Moonies to our 2ND ANNIVERSARY REWATCH!! Can't believe it's been 2 years already since we first…
Ep.1 Ah the opening OST just brings me back already πΆπΆπΆ
Hello DG with your impeccable entrance in your Dragon Chariot! Hi gorgeous SiYing and goofball Jing Mie!
Awww hello Lady of Spirituality and Elegance Li Susu and ethereal Gong Ye da shi xiong! That glowing 3d map is pretty!
DG is such a drama queen with his invasion of Xiaoyao Sect. π
My fave immortal oldies are here - shifu/uncle Zhaoyou and dad Qu. That immortal sword technique is awesome!
DG pulling out the Bone Refining Seal and Soul-slaying Crossbow just to take out the oldies is so over the top! I love him. Hahaha!
Li Susu's entrance with her grazing DG with the Chongyu Harp is chef's kiss. She gets tasked into running away with the Mirror of the Past so DG chases after her.
Damn this visual of DG with his Sky-slashing Sword and LSS with her Chongyu blade against the sky is so cool!
LSS blood activates the Mirror of the Past so she gets to chitchat with "It doesn't matter who I am" aka Jize. One of my gripes with this adaptation is how they diminished LSS' role especially in the end part considering she is "The Chosen One" according to the prophecy. I mean I love TTJ but LSS really played her part in saving the realms - she didn't get knocked out so much in the novel. LOL!
Anyways, in the drama, she gets to see how DG was as the mortal hostage prince Tantai Jin.
Gongye arrives and grapples with DG while LSS was sent back to the Hengyang Sect. Such an iconic set! Goodbye and thank you for gracing so many cdramas.
DG makes another impressive entrance at Hengyang Sect. Uncle Z sets up the Light Breaking Array to send LSS back to the past to kill mortal TTJ while dad Qu defends.
It's total annihilation of the Hengyang Sect with the Soul-slaying crossbow including her dad, martial uncles, and brothers, --- and people still wonder why LSS hates TTJ. π
Enter LSS as Ye Xiwu after getting zapped 500 years back in the past. Cutie Chuntao makes her appearance.
YXW trying to fly is still amusing. Chuntao makes so many digs at OG YXW. Haha!
They get chased by the bandits and pretty Xiao Lin makes his flying entrance to fend them off.
LSS learns of OG YXW's wickedness like pushing her elder sister YBC into the lake since she covets XL and hiring bandits to force XL to "save" her. She also learned TTJ is YXW's husband and she punished him for saving YBC.
How beautifully fragile hostage prince TTJ looks on the frozen lake! βοΈβοΈ
LSS is so funny checking out TTJ for his evil bones. She decides not to kill "an innocent man" until she figures everything out. She tests him by making him give a killing look, which spooks the heck out of her since he looks like DG again.
Chuntao is so funny and such a good info source. π
LBFAD is a fun light watch. β€οΈTTEOTM is a more intense kind of xianxia. The story is not linear either, and…
Yup. The definitive one is ep.34 as CJM and LSS. In the Jin arc, they did get together as TTJ and YXW since they had those lovey-dovey scenes. LOL! It was even more explicit in the novel coz they were getting it on right from the start during the Ye Mansion phase. π€£ Technically, it is not "them" in the Bo're arc coz they were in a dream simulation - just like living the life of MingYe and Sang Jiu virtually. That's why it's hard to explain this stuff to new viewers coz it would be a major spoiler and TTEOM is unlike other xianxias. Haha!π π
I just finished my first Xianxia drama, Love Between Fairy and Devil, and I absolutely loved it! I'm currently…
LBFAD is a fun light watch. β€οΈ TTEOTM is a more intense kind of xianxia. The story is not linear either, and the actors play multiple characters in various timelines/arcs so it's kind of hard to answer some of the Qs. π 1. I can't remember the exact eps but TTJΓYXW in the Jin arc around mid-20s and CJMΓLSS in the immortal arc around mid30s. For those who know, please chime in. Haha! 2. Not really. I mean there is a pesky female side character (in various arcs) but I don't think she counts...π 3. Yes. 4. There is romance but ultimately it's about how the characters evolve in the course of the story. 5. Yes! Xixi and Lulu know how to kiss well. Watch them in Love is Sweet for really steamy ones since they are more restrained here. Still good though! π€£ 6. No. It's an OE. 7. Give the first few eps a try and see if it works for you. Personally, I think the 1st episode is one of the best pilot eps ever.
When I say I love this show so much like everything abt it was great. I like these type of shows & bai Lu is the…
Definitely! The natural chemistry between Lulu and Xixi is one of the selling points of this drama. They are also both acting powerhouses. No one and I say no one could have replaced either of them.
Season 2 would be awesome but highly unlikely considering πdidn't even bother to release extra or cut scenes. Boo! ππ
Already impressed with the OST before starting. The story is moving from the beginning. The ML is great in playing…
Hi! It's great that you loved TTEOTM as much as we do. π Just saw your Q about Sang Jiu. She annihilated evil TianHuan's clan (tit for tat I say) and used those immortals' divine essence to make the World Alluring Jade. She wants to use it to bring her father and brother back to life. This divine artifact basically has the power to overturn heaven and earth which could disrupt the heavenly balance, so the divine lightning punishment came for her. This is also the reason why Ye Xiwu got the divine punishment in the tower scene after she used the WAJ to make a divine essence for TTJ.
LOL at your comment about DG's gloves. Do you know that Lulu really wanted to have gloves like those during filming? π
There are many theories about the ending since it's an OE. Personally, I think a sliver of TTJ's remained in the Heart Guarding Scale. After hundreds of years, as per xianxia logic, he can have a physical body again and be "reborn". He'll have his chance to reunite with LiSusu and their daughter A Mi.

Haha! I'm wondering if some Cfans will drop by here coz of your comment. They'll see how crazy Ifans are still about TTEOTM.
Cya later! ππ

TTJ is THE blood spitting king with 60 blood spits in 40 episodes beating out Cheng Yi's 56 blood spits in 59eps of LAR. πππ π€£π€£π€£
This first count by @Alice was based off of unique blood spits when TTEOTM first aired. π
