I am wondering how this one will be rated in douban

I liked the ending but I'll just pretend the special didn't exist.

Personally I didn't think that person on the cell was Huaian but everyone seems to believe so. If it is truly him, that would be stupid af.

I loved the series, but the only thing I hated was Huaian surviving after being fatally wounded like at least two times.

In the first few eps he's stabbed on the neck and he survived miraculously somehow (I mean he's the ML it is expected). Then he was stabbed near or in the heart and he not only survived but managed to go to that granary and kill the Tienmo king for good. And okay that is also fine for me. But if they decided to make him somehow survive that fire too with no wounds and we have him as a ML in another season I'll be mad. If this was a xianxia I'd be okay, but I'm tired of him surviving time and time again when there was no way that he could. At least they could try to be realistic with some wounds. Like stab him elsewhere. Why do they wound him in places that it is impossible to survive?.

I loved the suspense of the drama and that no one was truly safe, but the writers definitely decided to make some characters survive longer than they should have after some fatal wounds while others immediately died cause script said so. I truly hope that is not Huaian in that cell and just another character, cause if it's him not only that would ruin for me a pretty great costume drama, but it also will make it look cheap and for all I know next season we may have people slashing his throat and him surviving like he's immortal or sth.

Thank you!
It feels like they cut out some scenes.

I have a question. Was this series 21 episodes from the get go or was it cut down to 21 after it got the distribution license?

Grab the wine 🍷

I can't believe we still have no news about it at all.

It's a standalone short film, very loosely based on the short story "The Painted Skin" by Pu Song Ling.

There are quite a few films (and maybe even series) based on that short story. It's quite popular in China.

Okay, so question now is if they will keep them or edit them out

Question is if there are any in the script 🤣

Merry Christmas!

I'm here again ⛺️
I'll just stay here until this airs.

I honestly hope he does or at least the series has a sad ending. A happy ending wouldn't really fit this series.

I truly hope they don't

General thoughts on ep. 20

😱 I knew they'd use that mask trick again, but I still didn't expect that. That was very fucked up of Huaian. He used the general's loss to basically kill him. Fantastic strategy.
I just hope they don't use this trick over and over again in the future.

🤯 General died and his head was cut off. I never expected he'd die this soon...

🫣 I genuinely thought he may even kill the kid...
I honestly think it would be better if he did, since he said he'd live no one that took part in his sister's death alive.

😭Gu Yu is dead (bye bye my general).

🙃I was wondering what will happen now that the ''main villain'' was dead and well Tienmo King appeared. I suppose he'll try to deal with him for the rest of the series. He is an interested rival and this episode felt like a new arc will begin.

🤔 Things will be difficult for Huaian now, since he's basically all alone.

So, 20 eps passed super quickly. This is very entertaining so far. I hope this final (? ) arc is equally good. Let's see...

Oh really? I hope they release it soon, cause it's stuck in my head

Me neither and it is so good! Thank you.

Does anyone know the name of the song in the very first scene of the film?

"They didn't need dialogue and honestly, no dialogue could convey what their eye contact did." -> This 👏👏👏

I agree about the ending. I loved them dancing together, but this is called 10dance and we basically didn't watch the finale 🥲

I hope it does very well and we get another movie and even better more movies with stories like these.

Thanks!

Is this an original script or based on a book?
