I just watched episodes 17 and 18 and there’s something I don’t get. When did Yu Wan Yin and Xiahou Dan realize that Xie Yong’er is actually just a character in the story — and that being reincarnated from the modern world is part of her storyline? Did they know from the beginning? Because when they saw she was holding that like a guitar, it kind of sounded like they thought she was like them.
I have a question about the ending. they were actually able to create humans whose wounds heal quickly with poisoning them, Why couldn’t they end up using them? Maybe I missed something because I watched it on 2x speed.
thanks God, I finally finished it! It literally took me three weeks. The first ten episodes were so good — super exciting and intense. But the next twenty? Way too dialogue-heavy. Sometimes it was just twenty straight minutes of talking, and I honestly couldn’t binge it. My eyes were burning from reading subtitles nonstop.
I watched the last ten episodes on 2x speed, and at some point the third villain became pretty obvious anyway.
I did like the overall plot — it was interesting and well thought out. The acting was really good too. But I didn’t really feel the chemistry between the main couple, and I wasn’t that invested in them as a pair.
Overall, I think it would’ve been much better if it had been around 24 to 30 episodes. Forty episodes just felt a bit draggy to me.
I didn’t quite understand the ending of episode six. Does it mean that no matter what happened, it was all part of Xiahou Bo’s plan, and only the way it played out changed? So basically, they weren’t able to change any of the main events at all?
This is similar to Coroner's Diary haha. But yeah who knows... There they were a very sweet couple until the end.…
Yeah, that director is well-known and has made a bunch of really good dramas, but I feel like his recent work is more about flashy visuals than solid storytelling or character development

coroner's Diary is one of my favorite dramas. It has an interesting relationship and engaging cases. Except for two or three latest cases, most of them really pulled me in, and I felt like I was solving the case step by step along with the characters. The female lead was kind but also smart, and her relationship with the ml was great — supportive, healthy, and without unnecessary misunderstandings. But in this drama, at least up to where I’ve watched, I didn’t feel involved in solving the case. The story was told in a way where I was just watching it happen instead of being part of the process. I’ve had the same issue with this director’s other last works, Blood Rive and Love of the Divine Tree. This director used to create stronger characters and better stories. Recently, despite the very high production quality, the character personalities and storytelling of his works don’t really connect me to the story.
i like this kind of genre and i like both leads as well but i have mix feelings about this... sth about the story telling and solving mysteries is off anyway i will continue to watch
The first twenty minutes might feel a bit boring, but just be patient Ba Tai's Kazakh dub wasn’t very smooth, felt a bit awkward
Overall though, it was absolutely amazing, genuinely great. Their chemistry was insane —Ba Tai had a pure testosterone energy.
The locations and the overall vibe of the series were very simple, rural, and really comforting. I didn’t like that final incident though; it made their relationship and chemistry feel a bit awkward and off. Still, overall, it was excellent.
One thing that was never explained though — who actually dug those silkworm mushroom pits in the end?
I completely fell in love with their chemistry. I honestly can’t believe how much I liked the chemistry between Bai Jiusi and Si Ling.
I didn’t really enjoy episodes 8 and 9. The Hong Lian storyline didn’t interest me at all.
The illusion arcs started to feel a bit repetitive for me, but I actually loved the reveal at the end — when it turned out that the child was symbolically their own. That part was really beautiful.
I didn’t like the final fight or the last villain. It felt random and over-the-top, like he suddenly destroyed everyone for no real reason. about the ending, it left me with questions: when she changed the past, What caused them to end up at that point again? What happens to their child? Or did the story create a whole new timeline or alternate dimension?
Bai Jiusi was amazing. So gentle, pitiful, and lovable. The way he kept asking, “Why do you hate me? Why do you want to kill me?” with that soft, wounded energy… even though he got hurt by her multiple times, he never once truly harmed her.
And those scenes where his spiritual core was damaged — he was like a child, so innocent and sweet. Absolutely adorable.
I understood Si Ling’s resentment, and I was okay with it up to a point. But once she found out that Bai Jiusi had been suffering and tortured the entire time, and she still didn’t let go and said that to him — she became really irritating. For a moment, she reminded me of Li Susu, just in Si Ling’s body.
