I felt that same exact way until ep 6. That for me is when the storyline finally became more clear. I also did not watch TBOY, so did not have a handle on who is who for these early episodes.

Curious… what episode turned it around for you?

Thx for heads up. It was just a video of the old balcony guys (Statler and Waldorf) from the Muppets.

Smart of the production team to do that. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen TBOY, so I’m missing all these connections.

I had to look up Dark. It’s now on my watchlist. 🤗

Baili Dong Jun and Sikong Chang Feng on the rooftop watching the end of the wedding together in ep 3 be like…. https://youtu.be/I9FPMnbVIBU?si=WjouJHxAC0oB2Mwh

Thanks! That helps me a lot.👍👍👍

Question for the smarties: I haven’t watched TBOY. Can someone please let me know of the following who is good and bad of the eight disciples? Cause they can’t all turn out to be good right?!? (Thanks @Hanshu for posting the reference list of the eight 🤗)
1. Jun Yu
2. Lei Meng Sha
3. Gu Jianmen
4. Liu Yue
5. Mo Xiao Hei
6. Luo Xuan
7. Xiao Ruo Feng
8. Xue Xuan

Anyone else having to constantly hit pause and head straight to MDL to look up who all these fine men are after they are introduced??? Thank you casting director!!! 👏👏👏

Awesome detailed S1 episode summary from @MsDarkqueen if anyone needs a refresher before S2 starts. 👍👍👍 https://kisskh.at/profile/MsDarkqueen/reviews/320349

Thank you for taking the time to write and post the detailed summary. Looking forward to S2 🤗

Agree with you 💯. To me it’s sad that the only truly happy character at the end of this novel/drama is Jing.

Raise your hand if you are here after watching our cutie Bian Cheng ❤️ in Blossoms in Adversity? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Me during the 1st episodes use of the Jade pendant 🙄🙄🙄
Me during the 13th episodes use of the Jade pendant 🤯🤯🤯
Seriously did they get a bigger budget mid-production?!? because ep 13 was wwwaaaayyyyyy cool!!! 👏👏👏

I’m watching ep 13 rn. Yang Xu is South Prince’s servant’s name. They literally just happened to mention it. 👍

They are two different actors/characters. But I think both will figure out the secret of the Jade Pendant. The Prime Ministers servant first though cause he was suspicious enough to know something is suspicious in that the FL/ML always escape the skilled assassins many attempts so he is calling in for the taoist master to analyze if there is something supernatural going on.

He definitely has an agenda because he has been giving suspicious advice the entire drama.. The only reason why I don’t think he is working for the uncle/prime minister and might be coming up with these plans and nudges so the second prince can win the emperor’s favor over the first prince (even if that comes as a result of the first prince dying) is when he looked exasperated and said it’s really tough working for the second prince.

I’m also enjoying this drama more than I thought. You have to get past some of the distracting OTT silliness in the first couple of episodes then the dramas tone starts to really settle in. 👍👍👍 Also really enjoying the leads adorable chemistry together. There are some especially sweet exchanges between the two. 🥰

Expand the cast list- he is listed 👍
