I'm impress falling into your smile has such love even with no promotion it still got many votes for best drama of 2021 on mdl. It currently at #3. Seems like a popularity contest between the actors, and not really about the best drama though since even dramas with less number of viewers still got higher rating than those dramas with higher numbers of viewers.

Let me know what you think of the sub on Viki if you decide to rewatch the whole drama again ^^

It's not me that said that you're mistaken me for the original poster. I'm talking about novel and adaptation in general since for once I don't like to know the story before I watch it. I only read a novel if I'm a drama is unsatisfactory for me.

Yeah he did mixed immortal and demon power when he merge with qingmu. However before that he needs to absorb demon power into his body, and that's why he splits himself apart, one with his immortal power and one without. It was a bit confusing understanding the way it work before. Rewatching does make it easier to understand. I agree the Viki translation is not perfect, some sentences repeat, and there were some spelling mistakes. I also think the translations were done by many people, so it's not consistent. Also they don't translate the whole osts when there're dialogues. My love for this drama also comes from all the osts just fit with the mood of the drama.

Still I think the Viki translation was able to be the most closes translation in term of making the drama complete and understandable for me ^^

All xukai dramas are great because of the plot and characters ancient love poetry, court lady and falling into your smile ^^

Agree 💯^^

Give it a rest, not everyone read the novel when watching drama. I actually find I enjoy a drama better when I don't have any knowledge of it before hand, since in my experience original source is almost always better than adaptation. I heard this one also has an animated version, you can enjoy that better I suppose. It's very rare to find a drama being adapted faithfully to novel nowadays. Also in my opinion a drama is more limited compare to the animation due to so many censorship in China that make it impossible to showcase all the novel good points, case in point court lady, that drama is so faithful to novel until censorship happens.

Story of yanxi palace, court lady, arsenal military academy. All these dramas has xukai starring. They're not xanxia though.

I also rewatch many times. That was my conclusion before I watched the Viki translation. My understanding now is Baijue wants to get chaos power so he separate his core power which has his immortal power from his body, so he can absorb demon power since immortal power and demon power can't be mix. Also baijue created a body to house shanggu, and in turn shanggu was sleeping as a result that body gains her own consciousness. She was even able to talk to shanggu for a while while she was dreaming, so they're both share the same body but has different consciousness kind of like a split personality. The same can be said about qingmu, that body that absorbs demon power develops his own consciousness, and was able to take over baijue due to his power become damage when he split himself causing him to be frozen in the north sea.

My conclusion, baijue/qingmu and shanggu/houchi are their own persons and that's why houchi never prefer to herself as shanggu, or baijue when talking about qingmu and houchi like they're separate from them both. Houchi and qingmu are the part of them that are free to love since they don't have the duty of being true God or the responsibility to care for all beings.

Liking anorexic, unhealthy looking men, those people seems to have poor taste. I like my guy looking healthy and fit; yifeng and xukai are definitely not fat by any standard, it's their standard that's the problem.

I understand most of the story, but I kind of have a hang up when it comes to baijue/qingmu. I assume baijue separate himself so qingmu is his half, but it turns out qingmu is just his body that gain its own consciousness/god sense. The idea of a god sense was introduced in the Viki translation only, and I find that fascinating to me. The same for shanggu/houchi, houchi was a body that hold shanggu, and develop her own consciousness. So qingmu and houchi are their own person and not just a part of baijue and shanggu. That makes their love story even sadder, although in the end shanggu and baijue gain their memories, so qingmu and houchi in a way live out their love life in baijue and shanggu. I think some of the translations on wetv and YouTube don't always translate literally compare to the Viki translation, like the term demons and devils. I figure it out by myself but it does get confusing if you don't pay attention. My religion is related to Christianity btw.

I like it from the first episode, but for some it took them a few eps to get into the drama. My advice try to watch up till ep 17 that when the main story started.

From my memory, they can only see Zhao yao when the sun set, otherwise she'll be invincible to them. However while I was watching, I think the production made a mistake when showing the sunset, sometimes you can tell it's still sunrise lol. This drama has so many editing problems and toward the end it becomes even more noticeable.

Xukai and yangmi has a drama together she and her perfect husband, it's a modern drama. I wasn't talking about xukai Cheng ^^

It's back again, so did the title change or it was a mistake.

Alp is so good and one of the main reasons is the male lead. Also it's a drama you can rewatch many times and not get bore. Are you still that obsess over Xukai that you can't stop talking about him lol. I remember you also said you skip all his scenes, but I have to wonder about that since you can't stop talking about him. The same with yangmi in novaland pearl eclipse, it's weird to be that personal over an actor/ actress. If a drama is bad then just skip it all together, instead of coming back to talk badly about them or a show, so my thinking is you're just jealous of yangmi because she get to work with Xukai. Also your is only one opinion among many, stop acting like you're some expert when you're not lol.

Just finished rewatching this drama, and just want to say the Viki translation seems to convey a better understanding of the story compare to the other version on wetv and YouTube. Not saying it's perfect, but I understand a lot better after rewatching the drama about qingmu and baijue as well as houchi and shanggu. Also I think the reason this drama was able to resonate so deeply with me is due to how it's depiction of the gods and the devils, as it have some similarities to my own religion.

Oh I thought you were commenting to me. Anyway I agree with you since I really want another ep to show case the main leads and their son being a family together, or just a few scenes showing them together would be fine, I just thought their happy ending was too short compare to all the suffering they went through...

If it's true, is he going to be in a love triangle with the main leads like Alp. Or does he has his own love lines. It's too early to tell, but i hope if this rumor is true it does not have any love triangle. I'm so tired of the love triangle trope, even though Alp was an exception and didn't make me annoy with the love triangle, it's a rarity when you can love all three characters in a love triangle ^^

I agree with you about baijue being the most miserable in the whole series. I think that's why I love his character so much, I might've a thing for suffering character because I was so in love with fuca fuheng from story of yanxi palace for the same reason. Baijue has become my favorite character of xukai, he's so good at playing this type of character, the way he hides so much in his eyes but it still shows how much he was suffering. I adore qingmu, but baijue stands out more for me. The relationship of houchi and qingmu is so sweet, they're like high school sweetheart, that's so painful seeing them both suffer. With shanggu and baijue, their relationship is also painful because of the sacrifices they went through for each other, and they barely have anytime together.

For shanggu I don't fault her, baijue took away all her good memories of him, so her memory of him only stop at his coldness toward her, and also his rejection of her. Baijue made her believe he has change from a teacher she admire, so her feeling for him will not develop any further. In actuality, I thought she was really sharp to figure out baijue was hiding secret from her.
