Divine Aria

Ah, I see. It's unfortunate that she wasn't able to be there in person.
But, yes, was def the best answer. They even showed Hu Ge, and he looked quite proud of LeiLei's response :)

You need to watch his other dramas(and films) too. AASOL was wonderful, and I enjoyed every moment of it, but Wu Lei is such a wonderful talent and versatile actor that you really just have to watch everything he does :)

She did? So happy for her too then!!! Was she also present?
And Wu Lei's speech is so humble. When they asked him if he had a role model or someone he wanted to be like, his answer was so respectful of everyone there and just so wise. Good for him.

Glad to hear that there are also others who enjoy the various dynamics and healthy aspects in the balanced GeSun relationship. I love how it's stressed that they naturally share this partnership where they view one another as equals, and both can each understand, admire, and respect the other. There's none of the usual toxicity. And because Changge is not as comfortable with her feminine side and is always running around as one of the guys, there's also this sense of "brotherhood" between the two where A'Sun trusts and respects her abilities just as much as he would Mujin or anyone else close to him. It's very refreshing to see these different layers being so naturally a part of the relationship, too, rather than just the lusting after/wanting-each-other part. I feel that other series tend to focus on the lusting aspect and don't put enough emphasis on the part that is actually the foundation of why two people are so fitting for each other or why their relationship would make for such a great one. TLB does an excellent job of laying all of that out for our two lead characters.

Yay for LeiLei receiving "Quality Influence Drama Star of the Year". AASOL also received the "Youth Inspirational Drama of the Year" award, for which LeiLei went up to receive :)

I think the majority feel that there's a lot of fire in their chemistry, lots of tension and awkwardness that will create forests full of butterflies. They're making out, going on dates, sleeping with each other, etc, etc. And, as this person says, he stares at her like he's going to eat her alive, while she's feeling awkward and shyly staring back, at times, as if she's quite aware of what's going through his mind too. Sibling vibes my butt. I think some just like to create controversy with the contradicting things that they say.

And I was agreeing with you that if it was freaking you out, then you should move on. What's the problem?

Then what is this "vibe" that makes them like siblings if it's unrelated to the way he stares at her? So he stares at her like a lover that's about to eat her but also gives off a "sibling vibe"? Sure. Maybe it's the way she's so awkwardly shy around him then, huh? 'Cos siblings totally do that with each other.

My favorite powerhouse CP.

Love, love the GeSun CP. Non-toxic couples FTW.

They're so cute here! Love the GeSun CP.

That's little Yuan. She's the daughter of governor Gongsun Heng of Shuozhou in the drama. She's so adorable and has some cute scenes with the two leads.

It's so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.

The bromance between Ashile Sun and Mujin...!

Hao Du was actually in the manhua, though his role was quite minor. Only Leyan was a created character for the drama. I guess they either felt they needed more female characters, or put her in there just to give Hao Du a love story, too, since they made Hao Du's role so much more important in the drama.

Glad to hear you finished it. I love this drama, though Hao Du and Leyan were the most boring part of it for me(they were bland, a bit pointless, and disconnected from the main plot of the drama, which was the war between Tang and Ashile). I also enjoy inspiring and healthy relationships that have more dynamic to them than just two people who romantically like each other, so I personally Ioved Changge and A'Sun's partnership+romance relationship...but each to his or her own. And I don't know that the scenes done in drawings was necessarily a budget thing because it could simply be a homage to the drama's original source since it was a manhua/comic by Xia Da. I honestly didn't mind that they fast-forwarded all those long, pointless army battles with comic. I enjoy the live action battles for the more personal fights(which this drama did do), but actually think live battles are unnecessary for all the long, repetitive sieges in this story.

I'm not miserable at all, just pointing out your contradictions. If you don't like it, then you don't like it, and you should prob just move on to a different drama. Watch something that won't make you freaked out or miserable

How is my reading bad? You said that he stares at the female lead like he's going to eat her alive. Then you proceeded to say that they give off sibling vibes. I was just saying that a sibling won't stare at his sister like he's about to eat her alive. Only a love interest will do that.

...siblings vibe...lol. If him looking at her like he's going to eat her alive is siblings vibe...well, dang.

Welcome to the club. I think it's the one drama I've watched that has made me so keenly aware of how single I am.
