99% series have longer last ep with details and lots of things. This series is full package in bl world. There…
From what I understood, those final scene were filmed first and early Kiss & NC scenes were filmed later. Probably why they seems more awkward.
As for the top/bottom thing: Strict top (or bottom) exist. I agree it's common for gay men to be somewhat verse (they still have their preference) but more importantly, it's a BL. In a vast majority of them, authors don't like verse couple as they love the top/bottom dynamic as it's more close to the heteronormativity.
To begin with the whole "straight guy becoming gay for you" fantasy isn't real. WSW was either bi or gay in deny. But again, it's the author choice, don't blame lifeless characters. :P
Based on the first few episode, I think he will fell first (he kind of already did) BUT with all the foreshadowing…
Yes I always mix them up (Wuxia & Xianxia) so I checked before on this page but the genre is tagged as Wuxia. Probably a mistake (or the genre Xianxia doesn't exist here so they use Wuxia by default).
Anyway it was just a guess as it's a very common troop in Xianxia. That being said, a spoiler warning would have been appreciated. ^^"
I mean, it's a given that leads in Wuxia drama need to suffer unimaginable torture, split blood every 2-3 episode…
I mean cultivation & immortal story, I always got them wrong so I checked this page and the genre is tagged as Wuxia. But yeah, it's a Xianxia. As for FL being tortured and spit blood in Xianxia we have many! Like the "recent" Feud - Lament of the River Immortal. Tbh, in this one, both are tortured and have spit enough blood to fill a Blood bank. :P
Does this have he fell first and he fell harder, or she fell first, and he fell harder trope?
Based on the first few episode, I think he will fell first (he kind of already did) BUT with all the foreshadowing that the FL value her life more then anything it's a fair guess to think she will sacrifice somehow her life for him (but he will also probably do the same). So for who fell harder, in Wuxia Drama it's hard to tell as they are literally willing to die for each other. :P
I can't even imagine what the little boy have been through, they all deserve a painful and slowly death
I mean, it's a given that leads in Wuxia drama need to suffer unimaginable torture, split blood every 2-3 episode and nearly (or literally) die for their respective ML or FL. It's in their job description. :P
While I'm not particularly fan of love triangle, Drama enjoyer shouldn't be surprised to see a SML (or SFL) ruining the party. So why the extra hate here ?
Genuine question as so far, he didn't strike to me as the usual jerk SML created to be hated and more like a greyish character with a secret purpose. Or is it just because he is the way of ML & FL relationship ? Because if I'm being honest here, he is really needed as ML isn't that proactive to begin with. He only does when SML push him. :P
he deserves better 😤 she isn't sry about anything or trying to fix their relation.. And goes to all this without…
I mean, he wasn't that proactive in mending the relationship either. Tbh, both are at fault here. More than that, it's a writing problem I see here. Author wanted to create a misunderstanding and made it artificially even if it break their characters.
The fact she didn't say she didn't do it doesn't make sense at this point and the fact ML believed it without second thought at first make him look quite dumb (he is supposed to be very smart).
He was suspicious of the "new He Rufei" and respected the old one. So it's obvious that the culprit is the new one. But again, author wanted a misunderstanding at this point of the story and even if it was odd, they did it anyway. Not the end of the world, but yeah a bit lazy if you ask me. :P
I guess military commanders now listen to random strangers in the middle of battle after they get caught intruding…
Chu Zhao was here with probably a token to identify him as the Minister of War so he wasn't just a nobody + the fact they used the "secret tunnel" only people in the confidence sound know. And lastly, the guy is in a desperate situation and the idea seems good enough to him. :P
I know it's not over yet but what's the endgame here? Is it grandpa and Hai Yuan or the grand son? Cause if we're…
Grampa is the endgame so you can watch it without worry on this side. As for the age gap it's probably because we directly saw him in his old body but a vampire is "forever young".
It make easier to accept the age gap when someone isn't/wasn't visually old. Personally, I also did find the setting of having the grampa living in his grandson body... odd at first. Honestly I would have been more comfortable if he was a brother/cousin/friend especially when I didn't see the point of adding this extra layer of weirdness into the plot.
It doesn't bother much now as the plot have a purpose for this (Grampa past & Haiyuan past lives) and Martin Wong isn't that great of a actor to make believe he play a grampa soul to begin with. :P
Genuine question for those who did NOT read the novel - are you still enjoying the drama? Is the story coherent…
So far, I'm really enjoying this. But even without having reading the novel, I do sense that sometime thing are missing.
Like the fact ML didn't suspect FL identity at all in the beginning (I learned that it make more sense in the novel because she is in another body) or in the more recent event, FL not explaining that she didn't hold the reinforcement.
Like it's completely obvious that it was her step brother who did that (they made it like she was only suspicious) and then doesn't make it clear to the ML she didn't just to created this artificial misunderstanding. Again, probably a change they made clumsily I think.
BUT like I said, overall, it's still very good. :D
Congrats to them. "After discovering that a company was reselling used sanitary pads" EWW! That's just…
This line was so "WTF ?!". That belong to OnlyFan marketing but even more the fact she started her own Sanitary Pads business afterward and made good money from it is just hilarious. xD
She's smart so I cannot don't see that as a PR move - a really good one I would said. But I mean regardless if it was completely genuine or not, she did a favor to those struggling business and she get a better image - like many celebrities that do charity work. It's a win-win for both side. And with her recent news, she will probably need public opinion on her side. Maybe I'm too cynical but regardless I cannot blame her and hope she will win her fight.
Now I'm getting bored with this after singing its praises for the first 12 episodes. It's just the same scenario…
I mean it basically it. The whole plot is about the fight between FL & her sister scheming against each other. Ofc, FL always win in the end as she even succeeded in her past life with the useless husband anyway. Don't really expect more. Personally I enjoy it as it's really similar to MANY popular vertical dramas that follow the exact same pattern - Wronged FL + Bitchy SFL fight & scheme to get the man, wealth & power. I never get bored of those, this is just the higher budget version so I'm satisfied. :P
oh ! the way my jaw dropped ! based on your description, they can't even be called the same story. wdym the roles…
Yeah but like I said, the manga is just 2 chapters so the story is basically what we have in episode 1 and the final episode. Like the first scene where MC make ML cry saying "It's exactly what I wanted" is exactly the same in the manga. It just that ML discover pretty quickly MC real identity leading to the happy ending (don't want to spoil what will surely happen in this adaptation).
If they didn't add something, it would barely be a 2 episode drama. ^^
That being said, they really completely change MC and made ML more "manly" than MC.

Good thing for him it's a drama, they will have a happy ending and not being murdered like it would happen IRL. :D
