should be 2026 based on MDL, so with only 3 months of the year left now, whichever stab in the dark we guess has a 1 in 3 chance of being right? 😂🤣 I am hoping for November.
Ep26 - wait I'm sorry what just happened, why did they just go from 4v4 to all transferring power to MC?? I'm…
This one would be theological. Basically the 4v4 fight is due to strong belief that orthodox vs inorthodox martial arts techniques are stronger. All the martial masters know they are dying so they want to pass their skills on and have XQS prove (by winning with them) that their skill is stronger so the ultimate win is theirs even if they die. (Is my understanding.) (But yes it was said before the fight that “this is the event where those masters all give you their power” so it is also a lampshade that despite destroying the GUI, despite XMM’s memory of the plot fading, the narrative is still following the key events of the original plot outlined in EP1.) 👀
Usually just the first name to be credited in the cast section. (So top billing would just mean that in the cast credits your name was at the top of the list, iirc. Second billing = your name appears second on the list, etc.)
Why doesn't Cheng Yi want to act in romance dramas anymore? Most of his recent projects are strictly Wuxia or…
Meanwhile here I am celebrating his choices because I love martial arts and romance is meh for me 😂
(Could be partly fan wars. Based on MDL comments, any FL seems to get a lot of hate if she’s not an established actress/can’t act, and if she is famous/can act then there’s tension over billing and screen time/who’s “at fault” for any misunderstandings in the drama. You’re expected to shoot lots of cute “Behind the Scenes” stuff too, with fans reacting badly if your relationship offscreen isn’t particularly close. The drama behind the scenes is likely wayyyy less for all involved without romance.)
Part way through my fourth watch though of this one. LLH is a lying liar and I love him 😂 I love this show and this main trio and crazy Beauty Qiao so much 🥰
why did she keep killing him from the very first trial theres a very big plot hole there i dont know how to explain…
!!SPOILERS BELOW FOR 57+!!
I believe the logic is something like the Heavenly Emperor agrees that she’s justified to feel anger, rage, and want to kill a lot of people because of what happened with her clan. He has no right to interfere with Free Will in the demon clan or Heavens, he can only suggest and advise unless asked to act, but he doesn’t want Bailing to kill her, and he also doesn’t want her to choose to nuke the world because then on a heavenly scale the world will be nuked. Hence offering his kid’s newly-obtained human form as a sacrifice to buy her ten lives to the mortal realm.
Because she’s bitter and angry and hates the world and herself for what everyone did, he said he would send her down to experience ten lifetimes of being able to live out that resentment (so killing a lot of people, getting power, holding grudges etc). The goal of this was to wear that anger out, and by lifetime number 10, she has been softened substantially by the 9 previous lives and subconsciously isn’t bitter to the core anymore but is a blank page good feelings can be written into to, not just bad ones, like a black page steadily more bleached white.
Sifeng, as the Emperor’s son, but also as her only surviving clan member (his mum was from the Azura clan too iirc) was basically assigned the dual fate of letting her vent her anger on someone to hurt them, but also having immense empathy for why she was like that and wanting to comfort her in every lifetime. We never meet the Crown Prince much, but we know his bird self was BFFs with her and heard her wondering why she had to kill and who she was and why no one would give her a name and why she felt so bad inside doing what she ought to. Since he hadn’t achieved human form till she was being whipped at that post, it’s probably safe to assume his dad granted him the fate of having terrible lives while loving her so that she’d eventually get emotionally attached and not want to wipe out the universe.
(As stopping the universe from being destroyed while ensuring that was a free will choice from the dude the Heavens backstabbed would have been his ultimate goal.)
That was my reading anyway! Cleverly the show nicely ends in mortal realm mode so we never see the true ending of what happens in the heavenly realm after they both die.
can someone recommend me similar dramas? I need another satisfying revenge and mastermind male lead like this.
Maybe Joy of Life? It’s not a revenge drama but there are a bunch of masterminds including the male lead, and the performance by everyone is A+. Uncle Wu in it is YZ here.
