good news! I literally just watched this in Ep 5. A demigod that loved a previous Phoenix king helped them get a piece of essence they needed and A'yin asked if he would also lift the contract.

I would have rated higher but the editing towards the end definitely was messed up. There were a few times I think they put a scene right after where it should have been. Also let down jump in last episode with no explanation.

The romances were sweet though and Deng Kai stole the show for me. He actually caught my eye in Blood of Youth and he got to show a nice softness in this. Hope to see him as a ML someday!

This felt almost like a Twin Peaks type of show for me. Where it takes place in a tiny town and everyone is a little sus plus super quirky. Starts silly but gets more serious as they hone in on the danger.

Lee Min Ki was smoking hot! I am a sucker for romance and there are enough gazes to keep you going. I don't think a more full fledged romance would have worked in this drama.

The opening song is a bop and I had to see if Changbin from SKZ was involved with it! lol He wasn't but it was done by one of his fellow rapper buddies so I'm not surprised it was great 😄

Definitely not one sided love. Even when they have massive disagreements they still worry about each other. However, the FL does sort of use the MLs devotion sometimes to make a point which gets frustrating. Thankfully it never lasts long and you are rewarded by the end. I hope that helps you make up your mind!

Xu Kai absolutely shone in this! Also Gao Han did a great job of being elegantly unhinged. I thought it was a fun ride and the story was pretty tight with how situations flowed to the next issue.

I also loved the character Peach. She was every bit as strong and respected as the FL.

Not yet but I have seen this ML before and feel he does a really good job! Glad this sounds good! Good kisses?

I will probably be stalking this comment section for the next year while waiting for this to air...

I will be watching this after some more episodes get out because I'm a binger so I haven't started yet. BUT based on some comments here, do people not wait for character growth anymore? Often if a character is super obnoxious that means they have room to grow and can make for really nice learning experiences. So maybe ease up and just enjoy the ride a little longer?

All that being said, even if the ML remains a twat by the end of this I will still watch it for my girl Rosy. :-)

This is light and fun! Thank goodness it is only 24 episodes because any longer and it would have been too draggy. I feel a lot of cdramas lately should be 24 episodes and not 36.

Anyone else think the 2FL looked a little like a young Alyssa Milano?

I think I don't watch Xianxia right because of the 3 Peach Blossom Forest things I definitely liked this one the best: L&D > ELOD > EL/TMOPB

Lower angst (*even though some stuff in the last episodes irked me*). Misunderstandings didn't last long, couples understood why things happened, and not holding grudges with each other.

I rarely binge these big dramas but I devoured this and loved pretty much every character! Totally recommend this!

I can see where this would be well loved but I guess wasn't for me. Loved the earlier bromance of the dudes in the first 3rd of series. World building was fun and some stunning visuals. Other than that it felt like there was so much information packed into every episode that I stopped caring?

When was Tang Ze introduced? I don't really remember him then suddenly he took the Black Tortoise spot at the end. I felt something like taking Tang Lian's spot would have more fanfare. But since it was towards the end I can understand not wanting viewers to waste time bonding with a new person.

I have a question about the Four Guadians. Can someone help? Question below.

Watching him for my first time in A Date With The Future and find him super interesting! I will keep a lookout for him in the future

Stayed for the Shen Bros, otherwise I give it a solid meh.

Not really. I think I remember 2 main kiss scenes and they weren't dead fish but not the fire their chemistry deserved I thought.

Of course this is all my opinion and maybe I'm a floozy that sets my "proper kiss" bar too high.

Watched it for spooky season and indeed this had a nice creepy vibe. I definitely have some questions but I really loved the actors, music, and otherworldly vibe. Mio was my favorite!

Also I felt she "gave" her heart at the end meaning it probably gave him some bad power to stick around again :-(

I loved the music! Unique and refreshing alt sound that was not intrusive or overly repetitive.

Some cute moments and kisses. But terrible editing! Most notably episode 10 and beyond.
