Smile for this drama
1. I truly cried when Quan Ru Mu, covered in blood, died under the tree together with Long Wei Yun. When he died, I could see sadness reflected in his eyes.2. Qing Tong’s death in Wangquan Fugui’s arms made me cry again, especially with the soundtrack that carried such deep sorrow.
3. The conversation between Fang Yun Fei and the children, when he talked about Wangquan Fugui, was actually meant to comfort the audience of this drama: “Wangquan Fugui didn’t die; he just turned into the life energy among all living beings and continues to be with us.”
4. Fang Yun Fei and his wife are a lucky couple. They appeared halfway through the series, yet they were the ones who got a happy ending.
5. The Fox Queen truly had to be destroyed completely, because if she were only imprisoned, she would still be able to manipulate living beings into doing evil. That’s why Wangquan Fugui’s sacrifice wasn’t in vain.
6. In this drama, we can see Cheng Yi playing an antagonist role.
7. Cheng Yi’s expressions during fight scenes are familiar to us long-time fans of his dramas. So expressive. I love it.
8. Every time Cheng Yi starts a conversation, he always tilts his head first.
9. As usual, Cheng Yi plays more than one character, one with black hair and one with white, fighting against himself.
10. It seems that lately, in high-quality dramas, the episode duration keeps getting shorter. What used to be 40–45 minutes or more is now less than 40 minutes, around 35 minutes per episode. It’s the same in Blood River.
11. Recently, dramas also tend to use the word “破 (Pò)” (as I hear it) when casting a spell or technique. It’s the same in Blood River.
12. When I hear Liu Yu Ning’s song, I forget that Quan Ru Mu and Qing Tong died in the previous episodes. even though I cried over their deaths. Liu Yu Ning’s song here is so full of energy.
13. Actually, Cheng Yi’s biggest enemy in this drama is CGI itself, namely, the Fox Queen.
14. The Fox Queen talks way too much. Even when she’s about to be destroyed, she keeps talking endlessly.
15. Quan Jing Ting is the worst father ever in any drama. Disgusting.
16. It turns out that the outer realm, after the Fox Queen’s death, is a very beautiful place.
