DistantDream

What we seen so far, it should be even higher. It been a treat so far, I honestly really enjoy the pace.

I think that memories of JL/LS about the blind fox is real and it really him and that was wang duo saving him.

Whatever reason WD gave JL/LS his identity.

maybe them hiding the face when we got the flash back is to hide that fact. But maybe it was JL/LS that came up with the idea to swap power, cause he cannot contain dragon deity power cause he isnt a dragon

little nine is such a sus name though cause Chi Wen is the 9 son.

And snake does cultivated into dragon

He is not denying it, he clearly knows more than he is letting on....Like it obvious they like each other.

But he clearly knows something about their eventual fate. Also, everyone is in the past memories of someone they know. Li Jie is in his past self, WSG is in his past with his family.

So, who past is this for LS and LWY? Is it his or her?

Something to consider, LWY is the only person who can use magic, while WWY can't.

This either implies WWY can't because she is in someone else's body and not her own. So does this mean LWY is in her past self's body?

I havent watch Moonlight mystique, but for Love In Pavillion they when to the future. But it all does the same thing, show us and overarching story/foreshadowing. Like for LiP they all learn they were going to die.

So we're just having a TTEOTM moment for episodes 10-11.

It’s weird to call him wrong when Frustrated Noona is just making a point about a character.

Do you really think he believes this is literally a rom-com?

I’ve read your other comments too, and it’s strange that you treat opinions in a public comment section as if they can be objectively wrong.

He is getting to know her world and who she really is. He is feeling a little insecure because of the following
1. Yan Ke
2. He Simu is being cold and heartless and pushing him away.

In fact, the way his actions are portrayed makes him come across as immature as a character, at least in my view. Some people might like their ML this way, but others might find it cheesy or even cringy.

I understand that people enjoy a cutesy, multifaceted ML, but that often comes at a cost when it’s overused for comedic relief.

Also, given the ancient setting, how young he is isn’t the same as how young someone would be in real life. And I’m just going to guess that you probably don’t know many young people who have been in active war zones and killed multiple combatants. That kind of experience literally changes your psyche.

Because he is a mortal in the void, yes, that makes sense. But again, it’s about how it’s portrayed. They could have approached it differently to show how powerless mortals feel in a world of supernatural beings.

But again, it’s a fantasy drama, so realism isn’t the most important thing. So pointing out that he’s young or whatever is irrelevant. These aren’t objective truths, and I’m saying this because what you’re arguing isn’t an objective truth either.

I like the ML actor, I just think the characterization is too jarring. Like I said, it feels cheesy and borderline cringey at times. It only started to bother me in episodes 15 and 16.

I know some people like that in their ML, so I get why Frustrated Noona calls it a rom-com.

I just happen to dislike rom-coms.

non chalant, carefree young general ? some adjective I would not use to describe him till after episode 12.

It feels really jarring compared to how he was in episodes 1–12, where he came across as much more calculated, intelligent, and at times even arrogant. Sure, he’s not actively fighting a war anymore, so some shift makes sense, but this feels like too much.

It sad to see, they really ramp it up in episode 15 and 16.... it borderline cheesy and kind of ruined the experience.

very common in xianxia and xuanhuan genres.

Just hope execution is good, cause some shows don't do it all that well.

Yes, this idea is rooted in mythology. Fox spirits are typically depicted with three forms: their true fox form, a hybrid form, and a human form.

This concept appears across a lot of fox spirit mythology. Even in Korean folklore, the Gumiho follows a similar pattern. A modern example is Ahri from League of Legends, who can be seen as a hybrid interpretation.

Can't believe I'm throwing this in, even Naruto.... show this when he transforms into the ninetail. And have hybrid and a true full fox form

It seems cheesy, but just know they're supposed to look like that; it's actually one of the better demon fox costumes in Cdrama.

(edited) Rewatching it now, I know what you are talking about! Yeah, I think it was used to set up the reveal of the hybrid form.

I think I know what you are talking about but just want to confirm you mean where they transform ? both of them ? during the fight ?

I'm curious how would you want a nine tail fox demon depicted ?

Also are you not familiar with the concept of Painted Skin ?

dang you are missing out 8 and 9 are great

Guo Jingming a novel writer by trade so that why

Formless Moon Sect is not what it seem to be, there a reason why we see the flash back of WWY feeling guilty committing those actions. She also want to free the clan implying there something forcing them to do these thing. She also ok with cutting her tail and being a mortal. So yeah it 100% a cult and they are mess up.

JJY and CDL !!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE AURA FARMING

Chen Feiyu and JJY would be quite a pairing. He amazing in Love beyond the Grave and Love Story in the 1970s

With how fast the pace is, I hope they handle it well. It looks like there will be a lot of going back in time across different lifetimes.

It was kind of foreshadowed when Xiaowei, in episode 6, looked at LWU and CDL and said, “Perhaps you will become like me. Don’t. It’s not worth it.”

And afterward, we got a short scene of Xiaowei in three different lifetimes finding Wang Sheng, and it was always too late.

Also be ready for all the people who gonna be like I hate the ending.
