For me it wouldn’t be. LWY is a very charming character from the start (without JL) and if anyone sets off her innocent nature, it’s WWY. To me, how LWY works is the audience falls in love with her and then falls in love with JL through her.

Story wise, she seems to function as a vehicle to showcase Ji Ling’s charm so I don’t expect development which is fine for me. Some characters don’t really “develop”, they transform. There are some bits of growth with LWY questioning things instead of following no matter what but LWY’s character seems like the type to transform, meaning she should change. Transformation can include growth but it doesn’t have to. It’s more about showing how the events or environment have changed a character. Her state towards the end should be very different from the LWY seen at the beginning of the show.

I hope it stays female centric. I’ve never understood why productions keep changing female centric works into males ones. They very rarely do well because they usually weaken or surpress the FL making it hard to watch. It seems better to just use a male centric IP or create an original work.

Seems like casting changes every week 😂 I’m curious about whether this IP will remain female centric like the original work.

Narratively, Ji Ling leads because he has the greatest understanding of the overall situation. The others don’t know anything or have only pieces of the puzzle. I think he is also the oldest among them so has the most experience and knowledge, which is key in such a dangerous situation. Lastly, if I’m not mistaken, it seems he’s been left as a sort of custodian for the 10th dragon’s ascension and leading things until the final conclusion would be part of that process.
As for GJM’s future casting options, it’s better to let GJM worry about it😂 He did work with some big names like Yang Mi and Fan Bingbing in the past but his current casting pattern tends to lean towards rising stars or new talent mixed with a few acquaintances. And after airing 3 TV series , I think anyone wanting to work with him will have a clear understanding of what he is like as a TV director.

I didn’t realise how much I missed the sisters interacting until episode 18. They’re my favourite characters and I love their dynamic. Romantic love is almost always portrayed in most shows as the most important type of love in a woman’s life so I ’m always a fan of narratives that show platonic love or familial love as being just as important.

Visuals are what he’s known for and it seems he leaning into it and wants to go the “auteur” route and create idiosyncratic works with a distinctive style. Part of this is his extensive use of certain shots, filters, and techniques. Is he overdoing it? Perhaps, but it’s his calling card and the most important thing in entertainment is the ability to stand out. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea but it brings discussion and with millions of fans of his own, he has a dedicated fanbase and it’s a base bigger than some of the stars he features. Personally I can’t appreciate the amount of glamour either but they serve a double purpose as they are easily cut into edits, shorts, and highlight reels-which serve as a form of advertising.
Pacing has always been an issue for him but I think he did improve with VoS. His shows always start off slow to build the world and introduce the main characters and their dynamics but I think he has a better grasp of explaining the worldview while moving the story along in VoS.

I’m so curious because it says full series🤔 but it just can’t be right😂

Is the express pass out yet? I saw a banner for it in the app but it seems too early.

A few people have tried to get it fixed and arranged according to the official order but they have been rejected. The response I got was that MDL doesn’t use billing order.

I really liked Double Wu’s storyline during the Star Stone arc and enjoyed its subdued approach. After hours of grand OSTs and flashy effects, the most touching moment for me so far was those two lovers pressing their foreheads together. Romance really is in the details.

Lol, welcome to an effective use of “hooks”.

This! The official billing order on the official channels comes from the show itself. If the show wanted a different order, they would have made it that order.

One of themes of the show is that no one is purely good or evil and so the mains are all grey to reflect that. And as non-humans with their own set of moral code, they might not seem as upright as the usual Cdrama protagonist but they have rules and lines they will not cross so there is still a sense of “order” even if their ethics and methods seem different.

The amount of episodes airing is usually a platform decision.

I got the feeling that although they’re acting out previous events, they have free will emotionally. As in they could just act out the events without emotional attachment but both couples have chosen to get invested emotionally with each other. I could be wrong though.

I think the consequences would be emotional. They may not die but once they come out, they will be back to their old identities with memories of their illusion relationships
and having to deal with the choices they made in the illusion.

Lord of the Rings.

It’s the order in which the cast member’s names appear. It’s based on a variety of factors like popularity, experience, industry rating, and achievements, etc. It’s usually agreed to when signing the contract and it’s the order used by most official sites.

Someone suggested the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which is a really good starting point but researching the demons who lent their power to the Dragon Deity may also work too. There might be twists though as this show uses classical mythology as a foundation to build its own lore.
