idk if you guys has notice after fugui and qing tong drift apart when he went to western regions it seems like…
Oooh, love conspiracy theories!
I got no idea what happened or what the producers were thinking LOL. I did notice they kept randomly blurring him, so I guess that'd make sense if it was a stand-in. (But y would u use a stand-in when there is CY, Mr. Producer? ;-;) From the vibe of that Demon River Festival scene that got cut, plus the vibe of how things were going generally, it feels like there was originally supposed to be some kind of arc originally of 'demons can protect humans, humans can protect demons, good power can be used to do evil, evil power can be used for good, ultimately Good and Evil all depends on your motives not your race/power source' vibe that Fugui was supposed to explore after leaving his sect, like, getting mentoring from some demons rather than just humans, which probably would have tied in better to the whole ending thing of using the power of evil to defeat evil that came outta nowhere. (On top of the 'some evil infected me' which also came outta nowhere. It felt like a plothole that Fugui had anywhere for that evil to take root in him at all tbh, and would have made way more sense if he was like 'good alone cannot defeat this evil, I must embrace both evil and good to stop this fox' hence cultivating evil inner Fugui intentionally, as opposed to Rumu being fridged for it after the 10000th time of saying 'let's leave my dad unsupervised despite what he did last time. I'm sure it'll be fine'.) But that was all cut, so we got 10 eps of plotless filler and cute/yandere OOC scenes from the supporting cast instead for 21-29.5, cuz why wouldn't you, the director, give us that instead of character development and a plot that held together and made sense? Lol.
this is the first time i see cheng yi's drama. so far it's okay. i am not heavily impressed by the storyline nor…
You may wanna add a spoiler tag to this, since you’re listing key plot events and new viewers may be browsing the page 😅😅
(Assuming, given the general tone of this, that your goal isn’t to bash this beautiful show to deter casual viewers, in which case the lack of spoiler tags is probably intentional.) 😮💨
Maybe in 2-3 eps outta the 40 per couple, there are a couple of incidents which can be taken romantically, but majority of the time it's non-romance and none of the CP relationships gets any meaningful development beyond trust/mutual reliance.
I love all the dramas mentioned in this thread, but Deep Lurk definitely deserves a spot on the list too. It kept…
He is a very likable dude. Helps the enjoyment of his shows too that he generally has phenomenal chemistry with whoever is sharing a scene with him. ❤️
omg I can't with this show. They built up their romance so well and thoroughly. It's got regret, guilt, deep love,…
I feel it makes sense tho, since it was always YY that YD was in love with, she naturally withdraws because he’s TZ not YY and with her memories back, she is the OG YD again.
At first she thinks YY never loved her, but slowly, slowly she realises through how his mortal self sees and reacts to various situations that had parallels in the first half that things she assumed and that were the basis of her assuming he didn’t care were actually wrong.
I thought they did that part very well though my heart broke for human TZ and will forever ship him with her, and back him that they are two different people 💔
I am just not able to move past 2nd episode. I have this in my Netflix watch list.. but some how I am not getting…
A beautiful cast of characters who all have strong motivations and backstories, unforgettable music score, and romances that are make or break, as if you got in the right ship you’re happy forever, and if you pick the wrong ship to ship like I personally did, you’re doomed) 😂
It’s famous as it’s the OG trope setter for all Xianxia dramas.
iirc there was a rule that series could only be a certain length when this series aired, so they split into s1 and s2 to get around it. In fact part 1 and 2 are really just a 73 episode series, though due to the month gap between airing s2 has more flashbacks I think, though I’m not up to it yet.
So his all characters died in the end ? But I m more sad for Li chen zhou.
💯 agree LCZ’s fate was the most tragic, because he had attachments to his wife and his side and his nation and yet had to die like that ultimately b/c Emperor Bro didn’t trust him. It is like Blood of Youth’s emperor all over again. 😭
But yes can’t be sad for XQS’s in-game death, he died achieving freedom for the characters of this novel who are now no longer constrained by the plot he & AI wrote for them, and can now live freely and dictate their own actions again. (as from how XQS’s death is (I think?) narrated by that bro in the hospital reading to XMM, despite the interface being destroyed it seems that the AI did succeed in plotting the novel through to the end in the real world too.) And whether XMM lived or died, his heart was content as he got to journey through the martial world and get all his pent up anger out against his crappy boss, while hopefully ensuring the AI idea of his company failed beta and never takes off thanks to its users dying when the protag does, thus protecting creative industry from AI for future generations, as well as other innocent authors being pressured to take AI-generated shortcuts when writing 😭😂
So on all levels LCZ’s death is indisputably the saddest of the three 😭😭
Are there any issues with this drama? Why are they not releasing it? 😭
iirc from older comments it was something about bc the director filmed it without the permission of the copyright holder of the story (novel writer) so delay is for legal issues while they wait for author to give permission 👀👀 Hope it can be sorted soon 🙏🙏
Never before has a drama gone so badly wrong so quickly. The toxic brother has become the ML and the real one…
tbf it’s less terrible with fast forwarding the draggy bits (and absolutely all whiny creeper bro scenes). The CY parts are still good, it’s just he’s a minor support character for those middle 18-29 😭
Agree it’s crazy how a show as good as 1-12 was could go off the rails so completely 😭😭 I’ve made a mental note never to watch anything by the same director or writers ever again 🥶

I will be grateful for Eps 1-12, and be grateful for the Queencard dance promo thing the cast did that one time, cuz that was cute XD
