I felt the same way, but kept going. Just finished 32 (Viki airing schedule is behind), think i'll stop here till…
You can continue till ep32 up till 35:24, and get a bit more resolution to the current arch… I kept going past 27 because I was still distressed at the false sense of peace…
I’m at ep 25 and I’m giving up for now(will probably finish it when all the episodes drop)…They have successfully…
That was definitely me too a few days ago. I kept going though 😅 I think middle of 32 is the perfect resting point - exactly at 35:24 if you want to know precisely 😂
On episode 23 and this arch is stressing me out 😫 Maybe it's the whole show that's stressing me out at this point, i dunno...
I don't love what the ML's doing, thought he'd evolved past behavior like this, but i guess this is truer to character... can't even speak on the FL's situation...i think I'm grieving who she could have been without the tribulations of the last few episodes...this is character shifting trauma and i already liked who she was 😢 c'est la vie i guess...
Knowing the "villains" and having to wait so many episodes for them to connect and act is also dragging.... i actually think this is a better watch as it is airing, than how i'm doing it in mini binge sessions...my patience is being tested more.
It's my first Chinese Republican era watch - learning a lot, curious enough to actually research it too... so there's that at least.
ok guys just finished ep 8 and im speechless it surpassed my expectations
this was me last night, i was 👀😅😂. It was so unexpected for me, i had to express it somewhere... even though the rest of the comment section is up to date. I'm now on ep13, how far along are you?
So I'm watching ep8 and the way Chang Xuan is struggggggling literally has me 😂😂😂Bro is out of control...…
I was already cutting up at the "in-car contemplations" scenes, but when the bathtub scene came up, I gasped then squealed then almost rolled off the couch laughing... this is a literal depiction of having it bad... every yearner scene will be compared to this now....this is the new standard....i mean you say he's yearning, but was he Chang Xuan type of contemplating? Was he in the bath tub stuck between lust, longing and jealousy?? 🤣🤣🤣 I'm too amused by this
So I'm watching ep8 and the way Chang Xuan is struggggggling literally has me 😂😂😂 Bro is out of control... I'm talking 90s r&b yearning levels. So peak!
Still the ultimate palette cleanse! I was frustrated watching Where the Mask Ends ep15, then stumbled on season 2 of my fave JBL (didn’t realize it had started)… immediate chill pill. Looking forward to the season, even though the premise is messier than season 1.
I remember being devastated just from spoilers and literally lamenting in this comment section… watching after…
Just starting 14. I should also clarify that I loved everything up to ep12 then took a hiatus because I wasnt ready for ep 13. Just watched it now and still loving the show, even if I don’t like that particular plot.
I'm just now catching up on this series and while most of the time i do not look at the comments first before…
I remember being devastated just from spoilers and literally lamenting in this comment section… watching after knowing what would happen was still an emotional experience, but without the shock I could appreciate how they told the story. I still think they could have made tian’s redemption hard, it already was tbh, without making it impossible. I’ll keep watching to see if i end up feeling like it fed the overall story, versus being a shock tactic.
Because of the additional episodes, I found the courage to continue the show (stopped at episode 12 two months ago, after seeing spoilers of ep13). I’ve watched a lot of shows and movies since then. I just finished episode 13 (much easier to digest knowing what happens), and I have to say, I am still impressed by the storytelling and production value of this show. It is literally beautiful.
Even though i haven't seen the full episode, the spoiler scenes on twitter were enough to devastate me. Just 9…
Thank you so much for inviting me back after watching the episode. Spoiler, you were right, and I’m impressed with your ability to digest and distill immediately after watching, having to contend with the emotional lashing in real time.
It has taken me two months to gather the courage to continue this show… I was extremely triggered having lost my younger sister/best friend unexpectedly as well, so I just couldn’t do it in the same month as her memorial. Just finished ep13 and honestly, knowing how it would end helped me see the beauty in the story telling… I paid closer attention to every dialogue, body language, expressions, knowing it was his last moments and final experiences with his loved ones… the production & cast did this so well… can’t help but appreciate the artistry.
I remember back then there was dialogue about it possibly being intentional on tian’s part…I don’t see it. In fact I felt a youthful exuberance in his mad dash to go find the ghost flower - like he was already beginning to “get himself together” after carrying the weight of guilt for so long… He wasn’t healed, but he also wasn’t as despondent. He was willing to think of a future with Xu ge, He thoughtlessly said “bye bye” to grandma and mom on the phone that morning, without any gravity or finality… he was with others excitedly guiding them through his treasured world…these are not signs of a planned final moment to me, which rips open my heart again at the cruelty of borrowed time. Even so, there’s an unexpected peace in believing he was not in extreme mental and emotional anguish leading up to the end. I have said farewell to Tiantian, and I still grieve for Xu ge.
I liked it. Laughed a bit, brain was teased (the plots), and even caught some feels along the way (some of it unnecessarily apparently 😏).
The characters were different from usual, which I enjoyed. Cast full of renegades! Also interesting depiction of the difference between persistence, borderline, and full on obsession.
Mixed feels about the ending… (again, wasted emotion 🙄), but I’ve decided to accept it for the feel good-ness.

Remarkable.
This comment thread helped me process the devastation at that time https://kisskh.at/809270-a-winter-sun-wakes-the-wind-in-spring-hills-dream#comment-27014986
