Yep, same with Micha, I'd rather have more episodes on the immortal arc just to emphasize the scale of the DG…
CJM's time with his fellow disciples and LSS would have been fun (and also heartwrenching) to watch, too. And yes generally more episodes would have been great! If π pushes through with the 16-ep.limit, what'll happen to the xianxias? π€£π€£
πββοΈ Watched ep.1 and FF through 2-4. Haha!
Not sure if I want to continue too.. His character is nosy, an enabler(to his annoying cousin), and rude like you said. I also don't like the VA for Irene Lu...π This ensemble is not working for me unlike family dramedies I've seen before. Unless I see posts about a good progression, it is very unlikely I will continue. π¬

26. I'd reduce the Bo're arc since it was too long. I'd rather have more episodes spent on the immortal arc because that's the current timeline with CJM and LSS, while following the novel's BE+HE endings which were meaningful and emotionally rewarding.
Hahaha, I just recommend what I like, and it's up to them to like itπ π€£ I've never tried recommending TTEOTM…
Understandable. I was shocked at how long the older cdramas were. Even 40 seemed like a lot but now I can say they are really necessary esp.for xianxias coz of the world building and the multiple arcs. Maybe we should make a kdrama+cdrama starter pack under different genres/subgenres π€π
We love YunLu too and if you haven't seen it yet, check out Love is Sweet(2020) which was their first drama together.
LOL! Since you mentioned the blood coughs, here is a fun fact: TTEOTM's LYX is the blood spitting king with 60 blood spits in 40 episodes beating out Cheng Yi's 56 blood spits in 59eps of LAR. π€£π€£π€£

To be honest, a lot of my friends have never seen a cdrama so as much as I'd like to recommend TTEOTM to them, it being a xianxia might be rough for a first watch. Several of them have seen kdramas and mentioned they loved Six Flying Dragons so I'd recommend the historical political masterpiece Nirvana in Fire(2015). It has an excellent cast, great wuxia scenes, topnotch cinematography, and still one of the most brilliant writing ever in TV drama history to date. Watching the characters' journey was gripping, touching, and drove me literally to the edge of my seat. Last but not the least, Mei Changsu is the only one that rivaled Aragorn's decades long special place in my heart so that goes to show how much I loved his character. π€£π€£π€£

I got busy so I'll have to start it tomorrow. Let's chat about it after I'm done π
Yes, he achieved his final form and stuck to his guns to defy fate. π«‘
These dramas have great aesthetics and interesting plots, too.

Lulu is a great reason for watching TTEOTM and yes these two are hard to top.
