Alice_01

I noticed too! The bgm and ost choices are less messy now and the plot is also picking up! Things are really getting better ^^

Not them too?? I just saw spoilers of 2ML trying to marry FL in blossoming love too 😂
Are everyone set on bringing the old classic tropes back to life?? AOL, ALP etc. I mean not that I mind...As long as they can pull it well I am ready for the angst (well or so I say as I prepare my tissues lol)

I finally found some time to catch up, and wow, this drama has really picked up lately! To be honest, I wasn't as invested in the beginning and had a bit of trouble getting into it. But the recent episodes have been such a joy to watch, and if it continues at this pace, it might just become my new favorite! ><
And with that said, the Stone Clan arc has to be my favorite so far!! The reunion of the brothers was heartbreaking to watch, though. TT
The truth is that love and hate will always go with each other hand in hand. They are both intense emotions and often come from a deep place in our hearts whether it’s due to passion, attachment, or disappointment. Especially when you have to struggle under difficult circumstances alone and fend for yourself. It's easier and hurts less to hate. So I think Bai Shuo's words had truth in them and struck a chord for Chen Ye as well, which is why he got so defensive right after!

Was Mo Li a villain in ALP as well?? It's been years since I saw that one so I don't remember much from it...Also the mark on CZ forehead makes me think of other scenarios too...Could CZ be Moli or is CZ the lost brother after all?? That was taken away by the Eternals and raised maybe after the elimination of the tiger clan?? If it's Chen Ye then the tiger clan was probably eliminated by the Cold palace master to hide his trucks hm...Many possibilities here...

Like it really struck a chord in me and finally they used the Ost appropriately to make ugly cry harder!! And FY formally introducing her and them hugging tightly after 😭
Honestly, this was the best scene sequence so far for me I think along with BS's awakening after her father's death!

So there is a high chance both Fuling AND Chen Ye are the lost siblings of the main couple...And they were both mistakenly taken by the Cold Palace master thinking it was FY & BS!! FY's grandfather seems to have already known FY real identity as him being the reincarnation of 1 of the 4 true gods/Demon god from 60k years ago!! Hense saying his life matters more than the clan and giving his other grandson away (even though it backfired eventually since the tiger clan still killed everyone).
I bet Chen Ye will still hold resentment against his grandpa and clan but let's see how it goes...And I am really curious about Fuling's reaction too!! But mostly about WHY did the cold palace master do this?? What is he trying to achieve??

On ep21 right now and the plot keeps thickening...Also, I don't know about everyone else but the Baize clan flashback with FY's backstory made me cry like a baby...I found it even more emotional than the previous ep with the fox clan!

The way the Douban ranking order aligns with mine lol But yeah Douban scores are always low so anything around 6-7 it's considered nice score and hopefully they will rise further~

Personally I first saw her here in Blossoms of Adversity and after that I checked out most of her works like Fall in Love and in Lighter & Princess (which I definitely reccomend as well) !! She is a good actress and knows how to pick nice scripts cause all these 3 cdrama were briliant!

These 3 serve chemistry on AND off screen so well ><

Well at least with Fangs of fortune there was bigger variety of soundtracks (that cdrama truly has some of the best soundracks ever) so it didn't get as tiring but here they seem to keep replaying that one same song of SDD TT

Well kinda same especially about the blackening 2ML always having to be the final boss and dying or losing everyone else after the main couple finally gets together for the last few mins of the finale lol I mean I will still eat it up since I am a big fan of the "old classics" but I definitely wouldn't mind some creativity and new tropes either...

Agreed!

Same I LOVE the ost and have SDD since Ashes of love ost ><
She is a queen of osts for me! So yeah I can't really complain either...

Oh...Are they gonna bring all the old classic tropes back?? This is such an Ashes of Love moment if they do haha...I mean I will eat it up either way! This drama keeps reminding me of some of my faves but like blended all together other time it gives me ALP other AOL or even EL.

REAL! I love his current image more too ><

The Fox clan arc can be renamed into the 3 generations of tragic love stories...So much sadness for all 3 couples with either 1 or both dying...

Yep...I have said the same before as well lol Some of the editing choices of this drama could be better...Like this ost sure helps bring the angst out in certain scenes but we could go without it in others...

I would say The Blossoming Love is a bit more engaging for me so far but MM is a close 2nd!! And from the currently airing ones yes these 2 along with Floorished Peony (had to put it on hold tho cause there will be S2, but if u don't mind go ahead) are worth watching the most for me!!

I am currently watching both >< They share a similar universe with immortals, demons, humans and even the same actors for minor roles but thankfully different colored wigs lol
As for your questions hmm...The main leads start off rocky with each of them having a different purpose and secret agendas but eventually, you will see them warm up to eo slowly! For me, the FL did make me a bit frustrated at times with her actions but overall she is smart and level-headed, thinking of the bigger picture for her plans! Also the side characters' stories have been quite interesting and investing as well^^
