MDL lists 40 episodes of 45 minutes each. The running time is shorter (most are 40 minutes, and one is 35 minutes, including the opening and ending themes). Such a pity!
Can a novel reader briefly introduce/spoil the ML's real identity? He is apparently not the real Duan Xu...so…
He is the real Duan Xu; what happened to him as a child has been hidden from the world, which is why his story seems suspicious to He Simu. Thanks to his acumen and sharp senses, he understands that He Simu is not a normal human being (even simply when she turns pieces of paper into butterflies).
This drama is actually Xianxia because the female lead is immortal , i ’d say just watch the first episode and…
I think this could be described more as fantasy/supernatural than xianxia. Ok, the FL is immortal, but it's more a distinction between the living and the dead, than a distinction between the three realms (mortal, immortal, demonic)...
The trailer for the first episode came as a huge relief: the novel has some rather intense scenes—after all, the theme of death lends itself to that and to plenty of subtle irony—but I was afraid the adaptation would be more "toned down." Instead, the first image Duan Xu has of He Simu is exactly what I was hoping for: her, surrounded by corpses and holding a severed head. Spectacular!
After watching the trailers for the other episodes, I have some doubts about certain passages—in my mind they were amusing but never comedic. We’ll see...
Did anybody read the novel? Is it good? How is the overall story? Happy ending?
The novel is very - very, very - good. Two strong, sassy and badass main leads. The plot has a good rhytm, intriguing, and with funny irony between them. And yes, with happy ending.
It's not a problem. Everyone is free to say what they think, as long as they respect others. Doing so in spaces meant for something else is certainly not elegant, but it's not forbidden either. Just like discrediting one thing to promote another: it's a low move, but not a crime. The solution is simple: just ignore them.
Arthur's Ning Que was so badass & I think, Duan Xu will be more😎
I also immediately thought of Ning Que in Ever Night. Of all the roles Chen Fei Yu played, he's definitely the one with the most in common with Duan Xu: sassy, , badass, cunning, skilled in combat, and prone to laughing and smiling (and in the novel, Duan Xu laughs and smiles a lot). Ning Que, however, was a solitary character (in this respect more similar to Lin Xu or Sima Jiao), while Duan Xu is a general, thus in charge of an entire army: an aspect that will show us a CFY we've never seen before, and I'm really curious...
After watching the short clips released by the drama team on Douyin, it’s clear that both the female and male…
I agree. I think we'll see their full strength — physical in combat rather than strength of character in determination. In this drama, there's no room for damsels in distress to be saved.
