Wait actually?!! I didn’t think I was a good guesser. Why my guesses in exams don’t work but work with dramas lol? Now I need to open up a stall for predicting people’s futures 😭

in LGIEF the ending is like that due to censorship. if censorship didn’t exist, then ML and FL would’ve had a happy ending in the game and in real life. But they turned it into a dream with only FL remembering it and didn’t show ML POV so the ending was very iffy and an open ending instead of a closed ending. Another example of a drama is summit of youth. You can watch the drama and see what I mean.

What complaints? And even if there were complaints, I don’t think they changed it because of that. The change in ending credits was definitely pre planned. they couldn’t have changed it this quick and made it soo good just after 2 days of complaints. I noticed it changed from episode 10. so yesterday they released episode 9 with old credits and episode 10 with new credits. so it’s a pre planned move, if not no the episodes would be changed. But yep the new ending credits is soo good much better than the old one where it looked like donghua credits.

I’ve got a question- Both leads are transmigrators but FL transmigrated as an adult in her 20s but ML transmigrated as a school boy in his teen years. So how are they going to play around with the ending? it’s not weird for them to have a romantic relationship in the novel world as the ML grew up from a kid prince to an adult king, but if he goes back to being a school kid after the transmigration ends then that’s gonna suck. but it doesn’t make sense for them to change him into a full grown man just like that. so that would mean he skipped school, uni and life while he was transmigrated. And I don’t think cdrama transmigration end that way. it’s usually a dream or a coma so people don’t disappear for years before they return to their og world but only few mins to days pass.

I’ve got another theory. I think her company CEO, who bought rights for the book after paying crazy amounts is ML. There’s nothing to prove but I can just feel it, so ML probably experienced all this and then bought book rights to make FL read so she can also transmigrate and then they can reunite back in the real world. So that would mean ML transmigrated and returned to real world years before FL did.

there is a censorship ban for all types of transmigration and reincarnation plots. but that doesn’t stop people from releasing the dramas. the drama team works around the censorship laws and release them. so that means the endings for such dramas are not very satisfactory and people pleasing. the ban has been there for ages and I watch 4-5 transmigration cdramas every year. Are you new to cdramas by any chance? there’s soo many transmigration cdramas out there.

He’s soo cute. He even looks like a baby girl without the wig lol. the duality of Chinese actors needs to be studied.

that’s still wrong. it’s IDLI. who’s pronouncing it as i-dol-i. It’s 2 syllables not 3 id-li.

I’ve got a question- in episode 12 the apothecary owner tries to kill her with the alligator and says someone made him do it and he was waiting for her. and then she goes to her master telling him he could’ve killed her. Wait so who was it? did the master play a prank on her or did the actual killer wanted her dead?

And what’s with all these people getting locked up in palace rooms. these rooms look flimsy as hell, the windows are made of wood and paper, I don’t think you can stay locked up in these rooms. A strong kick from any of the leads would’ve broken a window and could’ve escaped. I know the FL had different plans at the end but in the beginning when she realised she got locked up she could’ve thought of it.

I was confused like you too. she was mentioned in episodes 4 and 5 and then they suddenly mentioned her in 9 so I’d forgotten her too. She was the one who embroidered Han Xiao’s purse which the flowers bloomed from and then she went to Hu Da for a loan. And then she was sent to work in the brothel with the other palace maids until they were rescued. You can have a look at character flashcards here. Look at episode 4 and 5

I was wondering why ML keeps crying about his 5000 salary. I thought it wasn’t bad. that was until checked how much it is in US dollars. I get the ML now $720 isn’t going to get you anywhere, that’s like minimum wage in china lol. considering the millions he’s making his salary is soo less. correct me if I’m wrong.

i know this drama is supposed to be funny but every time i look at him sleeping in a camping tent in his unfurnished house i feel sad. I thought apartment developers do the basic work but his apartment is still under construction like how can they let you move in to a place like that.

it’s very much hyped in the cdrama community, actors are super popular and the drama is hitting good numbers. there are multiple reasons as to why people aren’t rating this high. as mentioned somewhere down in the comments it might be haters. Bai Lu is really popular so she’s got a considerable amount of haters, and people who like romance aren’t liking this because it’s not romance. welcome to the cdrama community, this is everyday reality for us lol. after a few dramas you’ll get used to it like I did.

it’s very common to see ratings like this in cdramas on mdl. The rating keeps fluctuating until the drama is completed. a lot of cdramas on mdl don’t get rated more than 8.5 while airing so the current number is not bad but then again mdl ratings are not accurate at all. some people underrate or overrate it on purpose.

I liked the name Chasing jade even more. what’s with new name? Or they should’ve just kept it Zhu yu. Pursuit of jade doesn’t roll off your tounge that easy.

you’ll only know last minute if it’s on Netflix. until then iqiyi is your best bet. Netflix is the worst with Cdramas. they don’t announce anything in advance like other platforms. my guess is that it might not be on Netflix. Netflix tends to release youku dramas more than tencent dramas.

They wanted to double check to see if the story had changed. And they also wanted to check if the SML is also a transmigrator like them.

So SFL is og transmigrator and the only one mentioned in the book. ML and FL transmigrated too so they thought there’s a change in the story. they weren’t sure if the SFL was the same so they wanted to check it out just in case. They obviously were not supposed to get transmigrated so who knows what else changed.

yes SFL is a book character. so her transmigration is part of the novel. ML and FL get transmigrated into a novel which is already a transmigration story with Xie Yonger in it.

I get what you mean. the personality, voice and comedy screams Ao Ruipeng more but the tyrant emperor look fits Cheng Lei more. ARP would look too young for the role.

I saw the donghua last year and don’t remember some details clearly. Is SML a transmigrator like they suspected in the ep 6. If my memory serves me right he’s an actual character and he tries his best to figure out what ML, FL and SFL are so he’s not a transmigrator. Even though the novel describes him to be the ML he actually has a villain personality so I think the novel was written in a 3rd person POV so that’s why there is a lot of flexibility for his character to develop their own personality and thoughts which I think he did. Novel FL thinks he’s good because that’s how the pov describes him to be but from his version he’s a villain.

I’ve finished 2 eps on Netflix. And I’ve got mixed reactions. it’s definitely the darkest eeriest cdrama I’ve seen so idk how I feel about it yet. I’m soo used to seeing romance and comedy mixed in when I watch Cdramas. And Bai lu is soo badass here. I usually watch some dramas in 1.5x speed but this drama has soo many details so I’m just watching it in regular speed now.
