Chen Du ling is genuinely one hell of a fantastic actor!!! Allow me fawn over her for a min!!!! I guess my complaints/observation…
You lost me at 2nd FL acting was weak & need CDL & TJR help for it, her acting was stellar & solid here with micro expression's acting & expressive eyes to even voice, so idk if we're even watching the same drama ๐ No need to throw shade on others just to praise your fav ๐
gosh I am listening to the osts and I am crying real bad ๐ญ especially jjy and tjr's song not suffer is my fave…
No Suffering playing on loop in my playlist for real ๐คง It's the kind of OST who grew on you & gets more and more beautiful as you listen as you get all the flashback of their journey, it has become my absolute fav ost from Vos
Only those who understand loneliness & feel relate to it can smell its fragrance As in Only those who see beneath what the characters here going through & feel relate to it can appreciate the drama as a whole & feel invested on their beautiful, bittersweet stories.
I think the first half has ZSX & CDL as center focus (w/ the exception of ep 9) & the later half TJR &…
Yes Pursuit of Jade, it's very noticeable (writing of his character being the weakest with far less impact scenes & screentime). Maybe yeah that's the biggest determining factor (having two couples may get some people think they're competing). I take it more as synergy though (they represent different dynamics & phase of relationship).
How they work in cdrama ugh I can not stressed that enough, it's really saddening to see all these actors you like fight for eachother in the back (their agency to be precise) for the highest billing & even worse can not be cast together due to it, like I've never seen anything like this when I watch kdrama, even thing as simple as putting their names first & now with strokes too can be a problem in cdrama casting ๐คง

Uhm idk but I think their scenes are more than supporting characters worth though & equal billing doesn't necessarily translate like that, I think ZSX gain much buzz too w/ vos (fav character in rank) so it means the writing/directing works well for him too. But I get the point, it is what it is (already get to this point) & it's hard to please everyone.
Although I don't see this many complaints when other drama does the same too ๐ค
For instance, ZLH character may getting sidelined by the writer/director in POJ but the fame that he gets with this drama is impeccable so it doesn't always work like math & I don't see much people complain about it either.

I agree that ZSX character here being shown weaker & isn't up to the set up they create earlier. But I don't think it's easy to make a drama with 4, 5 main characters (include Yan An) and make them all center, it's bound to hv more focus on certain characters coz how can you write a drama with this much complexity & giving equal screentime & focus to all equally (why I said this cause eventhough screentime is not your main concern, but others still think so to even countdown their fav's to minutes). I think the director (& writer) already has manythings on their plate to be concern at.
Even in POJ they can't apply it well (ML has no worth mentioning fightscenes & work more as FL accessories with less screentime too) , let alone this drama with this much complexity.
And knowing Cnetz, I feel it's a double edge sword regardless GJM announce this drama as equal billings or not
Anyone really believes this is double ML double FL drama?
I think the first half has ZSX & CDL as center focus (w/ the exception of ep 9) & the later half TJR & JJY so I don't think there's much discrepancies. I remember until around 20ish ep JJY has less screentime/less flesh out arc.
Overall I think I only feel bad for ZXS since his arc ended up as a let down (restrain much by the fragment) & I think it's the only part where they shd/could do better.
However, I do think eventhough GJM may has his own fav, he's not the only director who does that, for example even in POJ ZLH character is getting sidelined alot & here GJM's fav's acting is more than enough to make up for it as he's really talented ๐
Short novel & it so good, one of my fav read, bittersweet & sad
The novel def has a melancholy tone, they're short & the novel started at a certain period after XYH left ADai and how it hurted her. Their past were told as Adai's memories as she recalls them, so I think for the drama we'll see their interaction from the beginning of their meeting so it has a joyous vibes
Oh the score for this one really surprised me. I saw posts in Netflix Facebook groups where a lot of people were…
It's a really good, one of a kind drama with convulated plot & beautiful stories, heartwrenching romance etc, however they may not everybody's cup of tea as it requires your full attention otherwise you'll easily get lost and think there're plot holes or wouldn't as invested as others etc coz they hv so many things going on & puzzles to be put together later on, this is certainly not a drama where people can watch it while doing anything else (laundry, web browsing etc) so I don't recommend to watch this if you don't hv the mood/time for it.
But if you do, be prepare to get mindblown left & right with their intriguing mystery & revealation.
Also, I'd recommend you to watch at least 7 ep to know their real plot as it's getting real good from there & don't bother much with people who rant and degrades the drama sm coz I find there're some who don't really watch the drama neither even bother to understand the plot & only spend their times to throw shades to other actors out of spite, counting minutes of their favs etc so they won't get to appreciate the drama as a whole neither allow themselves to get immersed in the stories. This drama isn't w/out flaw but I find they're one of the best if not the best drama from 2026, an all rounder, complex yet beautiful drama with great plot, acting, ost, cgi.
it's very good tho,and really enjoyable for a xianxia,plus the styling is really nice,just that I feel it might…
Thank you! , I shall read the novel as I'm curious to know their story & hopefully by the time I finish my reading we hv some goodnews/ conf on the release date, please don't let them be shelved ๐ฎโ๐จ
