Ohhh, so Jilu is actually the couple name for Jiling and Wuyi. No wonder people keep commenting Jilu, Jilu . I thought it was just Jiling at first 😄 Haha, they’re my favorite couple.

This drama really made me want to cry 😭. What I love most is how the mystery unfolds bit by bit in every episode, instead of saving everything for the final part. The storytelling is beautifully structured, the CGI is impressive, and the costumes are absolutely stunning.

One scene that really stayed with me is when Wuyi says, “Don’t cry, don’t be sad. Awu will always be with you.” I loved it so much that I ended up memorizing the line in Mandarin.

As for the romance, I didn’t find the relationship between Jiling and Wuyi cringe or cheesy at all it felt genuinely sweet. Meanwhile, the relationship between Wangyuan and Shi Guang feels more mature. It’s like they still have that youthful love, but with the emotional depth of adults. It’s a bit hard to describe, but it feels more grounded and real.

And speaking of Wangyan, she really feels like the eldest sister who carries a heavy responsibility, silently holding everything together even when she’s completely broken inside.

Also… why is the villain so hard to defeat? 😂 It’s like she/he die, come back, die again, and then come back again. Usually in cdramas, the villain is defeated once and that’s it.

In the final episode, I actually felt bad for Lijie, especially when he was searching for Jiling. As for the ending, I think it was quite satisfying a happy ending for me, even though I know some people found it sad. Yes, their memories were erased, but it still felt reasonable. So many people had already died fighting the villain, and Wuyi was never meant to survive until the end anyway. Compared to living on while remembering all that pain or losing memories, but some of them are still alive. I think the ending made sense.

Anyway, Jiling and Wuyi have become one of my favorite couples. They’ve gone through so much suffering together. Wuyi went through countless time loops just to save Jiling, and as for Jiling… no words could ever fully capture the depth of his pain, his love, and everything he’s going through.😭

Long story short, they faced countless hardships, but their relationship only grew stronger over time. I’m honestly so grateful they finally got their own ending after everything they went through even if it’s in a different universe.

I saw someone comment “jilu, jilu” and I got confused who is Jilu actually? Is that Tian Jian Rui’s real name, or maybe Wuyi? I thought it was “Jiling” 😄. Maybe it’s because I watched the drama with a different language subtitle instead of English, since mine showed “Jiling” or “Wuyi.”

By the way, I finished watching it last Saturday night. It was surprisingly fast. I honestly thought I wouldn’t finish it this week

I want to write a review, but it would definitely contain a lot of spoilers, so I can’t really comment here. I’ll just put the spoiler section below instead.

He already knew which item Changyu wanted to save. I’m not sure how he knew maybe he saw her trying to grab the wrist cuffs.

Also, Changyu doesn’t even realize that the masked man is actually Yan Zheng, her husband. He didn’t tell her because in Changyu’s understanding, Yan Zheng is still away at war. At this point in the story, she doesn’t know that her husband is a Marquis yet, so Yan Zheng chooses to hide his true identity.

Ohh thank you. I really enjoy this drama, but the problem is they kill off so many characters my heart can’t handle it😭 . Ohh, is that so? I didn’t know winter could last as long as 3 to 4 months.

what is TLOFG?

At first, I wanted to watch The Veil of Shadow, but it isn’t finished yet. Then Pursuit of Jade kept appearing on my tiktok . It’s really trending right now. I didn’t plan to watch it at first because 40 episodes feels quite long for me. I was actually in the mood for something shorter.

But since it kept showing up on tiktok with edits and even spoilers (yes, I already know some spoilers, but it doesn’t really matter to me). I decided to give it a try.

So far, it’s really addictive. I keep wanting to watch more episodes because I’m curious about what will happen next. I’ve only watched up to episode 21, so I’m not sure how the rest of the story will go or if it will keep me hooked until the end. Maybe I’ll come back and share my thoughts after I finish it.

I want to talk about the latest episode where Ning disappears. The people in Li’an (I’m not sure if that’s the correct spelling) were all killed . When Chang Yu cried, I cried too it was so heartbreaking seeing she lose his younger sibling and everything that happened to Li’an . Her life right now is just so tragic. I cried when she cried. Tian Xi Wei is such a great actress her performance feels so real, haha.

One thing I’m curious about is how long winter usually lasts? I’ve never lived in a country with four seasons, so I’m not really sure. From the beginning until the latest episode, it still looked like winter in this drama, but I think by episode 21 it has already shifted into spring.

Still at episode 21. I can’t believe I just started last Saturday and already have 19 episodes left. I watched it last night right before going to sleep, and now I kind of regret it because I can’t stop thinking about what happened in the latest episode. (Spoiler below)

What a roller coaster this drama made me laugh one moment and cry the next. I really love the OSTs, especially Sweet Recipe, Blazing Light, and another one whose name I forgot, haha. I keep playing them on repeat ... Dadadada~. I also adore Wanyin’s outfits and makeup (sorry, I forgot the actress’s full name since I don’t usually watch her dramas). She looks so cute, and the styling is amazing big applause for the stylist!

Chang Lei’s acting is incredibly natural too. When he cried over Bei’s death, it made me want to cry as well. I even replayed that scene three times because his performance felt so real it didn’t even seem like acting.

I absolutely hated the Duan Prince. I couldn’t even stand looking at his face whenever he appeared on screen. He was so arrogant and annoying that I just wanted to slap him every time he spoke. But then I watched the BTS footage, and he was actually cute and funny in real life.

By the end, many characters had died. It was sad, but that’s okay I’ve watched plenty of historical C-dramas by now, so I’m used to it. Still, it made me cry.

I also tried two other versions of How Dare You Too an animation and a mini drama . I dropped them halfway since the storyline is basically the same as the main drama and I already knew what would happen.

About the ending, they just stare at each other, which is fine because I understood the time travel rules. But I wondered since Zhang San has been in the novel world since his teenage years, how does he return as an adult? Luckily, someone had already spoiled the novel’s ending, so I assume Xiahou Dan went back to 2016 before Wanyin returned to 2026, which is how they met.

Anyway, I’d give it a 9/10.

I just finished it last night. I thought I’d finish it this week, never expected to finish it so quickly. What can I do? The story kept me hooked, making me want to see what happens in the next episode. Since my next comment will contain spoilers, I’ll put it under a spoiler tag.

Thank you for the explanation

What I’ve noticed in most transmigration cdramas is that when the male or female lead enters a novel world, they just accept it. I’ve watched three cdramas so far, and most of the time they don’t seem that shocked. At the beginning there’s usually a short moment where they’re surprised, but then it quickly turns into, ‘Oh, I’m in the novel world, so I have to follow or change the plot.’

What I don’t understand is how they don’t feel truly sad about being in another dimension where they might be trapped forever. And the most surprising part is that they don’t seem to miss their families. Even if they don’t have family, surely they have close friends in their original world. If someone suddenly ended up in another dimension, wouldn’t they cry at least once thinking they might never see the people they care about again?

If someone were suddenly thrown into another dimension, wouldn’t the first reaction be crying, panicking, or trying to escape? But in cdramas, the first thing they do is fight the plot instead of trying to run away or avoid trouble.

Well, I know it’s just a drama, so I won’t take it too seriously. This is just my opinion, and I don’t mean to offend anyone.😊

Thank you for the explanation

So, I watched this yesterday and I still don’t understand. I even tried looking for explanations on tiktok, but it just made me more confused. Who exactly is Xiahou Bo? If he isn’t someone who transmigrated from the real world into the novel, why is Wanyin so afraid of him? Wanyin said he’s ‘the real person at the top.’ So does that mean Wanyin and Xiahou aren’t real people? I really don’t understand what that means. 🙂

I’m currently on episode 6 and I’m a bit confused. Can someone who has already watched this drama explain it to me?

Just imagine what kind of company would want to lose money? Yet in this drama, the more the company loses, the more Pei Qian profits. At first, I thought 5,000 yuan wasn’t that bad, at least it’s a monthly salary. But then I got curious and converted it into my country’s currency, and I was honestly surprised by how low it actually is. That probably explains why Pei Qian works so hard to make his company lose money.

Even though the beginning had plenty of funny moments that made me laugh, as the story progressed and Pei Qian’s smile slowly faded, the humor became less frequent, though it was still there. But it’s okay it was still enjoyable for me.

While watching this drama, I actually felt jealous of the Tengda employees. Even though they’re fictional characters, I was still jealous. I wish I had a boss like Pei Qian and a working environment like Tengda. I don’t mean things like going home early or arriving late like in Tengda’s rules, because jobs like that rarely exist in real life. What I really mean is the positive working environment there. Kind coworkers, a good boss, very high salaries, and great office facilities.

It’s not that my own workplace is bad it’s actually good but the atmosphere at Tengda still made me wish I could work somewhere like that.

Overall, I really enjoyed this story. It kept me looking forward to the next episode every time.

Overall rating: 9.5/10.
I actually wanted to give it a 10, but there were a few parts that felt slightly lacking, so I decided on 9.5 instead. 😄

I finished watching it a week ago. I actually wanted to talk about this drama. I even told myself I would review it after finishing it, but I completely forgot about it 😆. (Spoilers below!)

If I begin with Time Raiders rather than The Lost Tomb 1 and 2, I should still be able to follow the story and understand the plot, right? So I’ll stick to your recommended order so I don’t get confused. Tq

For those who are currently watching this drama, may I kindly ask whether Episodes 1 and 2 are meant to be slow? I’m still at the beginning and find the pacing a bit slow so far. Does it improve from Episode 3 onwards?

Oh, I understand now. Thank you for explaining.
