Mango care about our health. All those mental gymnastics keep the brain active 😂. It's use it or lose it!

There are a few episodes on youtube (with EN subs) and also on kisskh (1st has subs, don't know about the rest...)

Well, as much as it hurts to come second (after the world) in the eyes of your lover, wouldn't you prefer your love to stay true to himself even if it means that you have to die?

Yes, very often villains betray the world to save their loved one, but how many times has the answer they get been "I never asked you to". Quite a few examples for that spring to mind as well...

Buckets, 😭😭😭 if it's a good drama and I can relate to the characters. It makes it hard to read the subtitles, sometimes 😂

I think in modern society people have become so constrained emotionally (other than feeling offended at all and everything) that they don't cry enough. It may be one of the reasons why angsty dramas are so popular.
Emotional crying releases important hormones (oxytocin and endorphins) that help release stress. So if people are forced to keep a stiff upper lip in their daily life because society stigmatises emotional outbursts, they have to use crying in front of the TV as a substitute.

To sum it up, keep crying, it's good for your mental health!

Every time I look there's another ML 😂 Not too keen on the current choice (Bi Wen Jun)...
I've just seen a pic of Jeremy Tsui in dragon make-up (for another drama) and think he would make an awesome dragon, especially if they let him keep that gravelly voice instead of dubbing him.🐉

I have the same problem with Neo Hou in Back from the Brink. He looks just to sweet for a dragon...

Editing is definitely a bit choppy at times...
I'm watching this slowly with sometimes a few days between episodes and I already had to go back to the previous episode several times because I thought I had accidentally skipped an episode when the new one started with a scene that I couldn't place. Like for example the cut btw ep. 17 and ep.18. It is quite obvious that they had to cut some scenes between the last scene of ep. 17 and the first of ep. 18.

It's nowhere near "fluffy". There's still tons of angst, misunderstandings between the leads and emotional rollercoaster. The darkness of the ML has been slightly toned down and there is (obviously) not the same amount of torture as in the novel. There are a few sweet moments, but you're going to need a truckload of tissues.
The acting is brilliant, costumes are awesome and the CGI is breathtaking.

😂 😂 😂 What happened? Didn't you get the memo about being prepared for 🖤🗡️ 💔 and tons of angst?

Just in case anyone was wondering, here's the synopsis for this one (MTL):

The drama mainly tells the story of the heroine, Yun Ruoyue, a modern doctor who travels through time, and the story of mutual achievement and redemption with Chu Xuanchen, the former prince of the "First God of War" of Chu. The god of war is "killing" and the doctor is "salvation". The "angel in white" redeemed the "lonely brave prince".

So yet more transmigration BS....
I will give this one a miss.

I don't think so, I don't know the Mulan novel, but in this one there is no mention of Hua Liuli leading troops into battle. Yes, she has high martial arts skills, but she tries to hide them as much as possible. This novel concentrates more on her romantic relationship with the CP and the relationships between the people at court.
The drama is similar in that there are only very brief battle-scenes, mainly as flashbacks.

Yes, the sound fails about once or twice in every episode. By now 23/24 episodes should be available with subs on YT.

That's a typical problem with machine translation... sometimes the double negative in the original turns the translation into the opposite of what the author wanted to say. Even though this translation officially isn't a machine translation it still has the style of an MTL with minimal editing.

Same here. I became a fan of TCM some 30 years ago when I suffered from whiplash migraine. The pain was gone within one session of ear acupuncture and the "magician" told me about a number of other health problems that I had at the time that I hadn't even mentioned just by taking the pulse and looking at the tongue. I was deeply impressed and did some TCM training (with focus on herbal recipes) to learn some of that magic myself. I don't practice it, but it is still very useful when searching for the root cause of any health complaint.

I think you may have misunderstood me... I have no hate for YXW. (I usually reserve my hate for those really annoying stalker-type characters) She makes a decision based on what she thinks is right. I was merely questioning the logic behind her decision.

Well, technically, he hasn't killed her family, yet.
It's the eternal conundrum of all time-travel dramas: would you kill baby-Hitler or spare him because it's just a baby?
For me there is a logical problem with the whole "must kill TTJ". If the future can be changed by her killing TTJ, why can't the future be changed by him becoming a different/better person? The "evil bone" argument seems to be a very lazy answer to the question whether the future is pre-determined or not.

I was referring to the one between JinMing and the stargazer. Their bickering makes them so adorable! 😂
With the second one you mean the FL's brother and the doctor? I'm only on ep. 18, so right now this is still quite discreet.

Thanks! that trailer looks a lot more interesting than the one posted above (even without understanding anything...).

There usually are a lot of complaints about the damsel in distress trope, especially when the FL trips over her own feet every episode.
Most people are sick and tired of the childish/helpless FL it's just the writers that seem unable to let go.

What is this, Four weddings and a Funeral??
