I just want to say that the writers/production actually did a really good job adapting the novel (mostly from BQ's POV) into a drama (narrator/viewer POV). When the drama was announced I was wondering how they would incorporate the back stories that BQ recounted in her mind, (I.e. Her stay at Kunlun) as the novel starts out at the birth of YH. They did a really good job rearranging the story so it could fit chronologically instead of using a bunch a flashbacks for the back stories/'previous lives'.

I wonder who does his dubs.

Truthfully, in Chinese standards... I wouldn't call it a tragedy. People all die in the end, so the fact that they got to spend those last years together, as a couple, means they got to experience their happy ending. The bit after his death and the parts after his death are just the 'after parts' that 'happily ever after' ending stories don't show.

Is this based on a novel? The synopsis sounds familiar... but maybe I'm imagining things! XD

To be honest, in my opinion, Joy's acting isn't actually all that horrible, considering the fact that there are some actresses and actors that completely overact, yet people totally praise them. I honestly don't understand it.

Maybe it's just the initial biased opinions against idol-actors?

Probably because there are so many things about this drama for people to be biased against, like comparing it to the Japanese version, or the fact that Joy is an idol actress with a main role as her first acting role.

Maybe she just has stage fright (singing in front of people watching/evaluating her). She probably only considers singing with the ajummas as something relaxed/playing around, not an actual performance.

Is this a thriller/horror drama? Or more of a psychological drama?

I'm not sure about the MDL airing date, but when you search the drama on iQiyi, the release date stated is Jan 1, 2019, so maybe it has been delayed because of the ban...?

I think the story was kind of artistic-like and maybe not everyone was able to quite understand and appreciate it.

I can't tell if it is the actors or the change of storyline, but the chemistry between the 2 mains is lacking compared to the novel.

Thank you!

Thanks!

So it's a final ending and not a cliffhanger ending?

Is there a definitive ending? Or is it a cliffhanger ending and I have to wait for the sequel?

Truthfully, I'm finding the drama a bit disappointing. I enjoyed the book a lot more.

One of my favourite wuxia dramas! I think I've watched this ~10 times.

Does anyone know if I have to watch the 1st drama (Memory Lost) if I want to watch this? (I.e. is it a continuation through the three dramas [ML, ML2, & ML3]?)

Waiting to see if they are making a sequel to this before I watch it..

I'm a bit disappointed that they changed the beginning from the novel... I think if they didn't the perceived chemistry between the two main characters would have been better...
