Honestly, I'm not very enthusiastic with this upcoming amnesia arc. So, yeah, I, too, hope it ends quickly. Otherwise, I might just drop it and go straight to the final episode 😔 TWO amnesia arcs in one drama is just too much to handle, sigh 😩

Agreed! I expected more complicated or heart-wrenching plot, considering the genre. But, it turned out to be a very romantic drama. I think it's one of the happiest xianxia I've ever watched so far. And the ending certainly wasn't the best one out there.

In the drama, yes. In the novel they're actually cousin.

Brooo don't get me started on that one. I almost didn't survive eps 10 😂

Agreed. That's why I'm so pissed right now because they kinda mess up in Rundu arc, including Li Kuang's character 😮‍💨

Nooo don't hate him please 🥺 In the novel, he's a good man. The drama version didn't capture well of his desperation and upright character. Blame the way they wrote him 😢

CMIIW but HRF drama ver. is different from novel ver. In the drama, he was quite smart and had a determination to prove himself, which made his character more interesting. In the novel, however, he's actually very stupid & weak *sigh* But one thing is the same: he was shameless. My hand was itchy to smack his head 😂

Yes. I'm fine too with the double standard or their futile plans narrative. It's just a shame they failed to capture Li Kuang's complicated character. He was a good man but the situation forced him to (almost) do something so disgusting. I don't know if it's the writing or the actor's acting ability, but I didn't see his dilemma, hopelesness, pain, or even regret as in the novel. Only anger and impatience.

Actually, He Yan in the novel described as a cute boy and always smile. So I think Zhou Ye's portrayal of the character is quite on point

She did? Ah, I forgot about it 🤔

I guess. While I can accept the censorship reason, it's just a shame they reduced Li Kuang character to be a mere oppresor of the weak in the process 😢

Right. IMO, it was one of the best arcs in the novel, and they butchered it 😭

If I remember correctly, Xiao Jue has always been a level above He Yan since the 1st timeline. But they were equally famous for being great generals. Also, He Yan as Feihong didn't involved in court. She always stayed in the barrack. CMIIW

I read the novel several years ago so there might be some points I already forgot, but Rundu arc especially stood out in my mind because of how menacingly real the description of the situation was.

In the novel, Li Kuang was so desperate to defend Rundu. But because of the siege, they ran out of food. He asked He Rufei for help, but as expected, the jerk didn’t come. In his desperation, he got an inspiration from a general of ancient times. He intended to sacrifice his dear concubine to feed his famished soldiers so they could continue to defend the city. Yep, he (almost) resorted to cannibalism. Luckily, He Yan and the gang came and prevented the horror from happening. I remember I felt so sick when I read this part that I had to pause and took a breath.

What Li Kuang (almost) did was absolutely abhorrent, but if I remember correctly, he was an upright character with strong patriotism. And the drama version failed to capture his dilemma.

Gotta say Rundu arc is a complete dissapointment for me. They didn't show the desperation Li Kuang experienced in the face of danger and hunger. Instead, he was portrayed as a mere complete bastard, which didn't do his character justice 😒 He's one of General Feihong's most trusted comrades, for heaven's sake! There IS a reason why He Yan was so adamant in helping him against all odds 😩

Too much romance, not dark enough despite the genre. The characters are too OP, hence no character development that I can relate to. The cliche, like FL's granted the princess title so that she has the same standing as ML (this is sooo romance 😢) whereas IMO she's perfect the way she is, and the ending was so predictable. Also, the camera work really bothering me.

P.S.: Don't like the drama doesn't mean hating the actors/tresses ✌🏻

Because they are in the same genre, which is mystery and investigation. When you read the tags, it'd create some kind of expectation. And if it didn't meet the initial expectation, it'd make you dissapointed. That's what happened with CD for me.

They do look HOT in red 😆🤤

I'm a bit dissapointed in CD as it wasn't as dark and creepy as I expected it to be, so I hope TWD will focus more in the mystery side rather than the romance 🙏🏻 The darker, the better 🤩

I like him, too. He's more a father for NH than the emperor could ever be. When he drank that poisoned wine, I cried with NH 😭
