Lycoris Radiata

The grandma is so infuriating—the actress playing her deserves an award—she makes it so realistic!

Also Hua Er is such a witch ugh, hope she marries into the Song family and then gets sent to the salt mines when their corruption comes to light lol

Came to this drama for XiaoXuan, but Brick has my whole heart now—love his character so much.

Yes they are and then there is an epilogue that explains the rest of their life

I actually hope they don’t change it as it would take away from the author’s intention to write an anti-war book. Soldiers are suffering like Li Zan daily and it’s good for people to be aware of their suffering, and understand the realities of PTSD etc.
just my hope/opinion for the drama.

I feel it’s a realistic ending even with the extra chapters. For me I felt emotional but content after the ending so I won’t call it a bad ending.

It’s a happy enough ending, but very realistic. I think it’s a beautiful ending.

This is one of the best novels I’ve read—I can’t wait for the drama! It’s rare for a novel to leave such a lasting impact on me, and I hope the drama is a good adaptation.

Haven’t cried this much since Goodbye my Princess—poor Yun Que and poor Yue!

Ah that makes sense!

Is it Wufeng who killed YQ or was it the Gongs because they found out her identity? HYS said to YWS that she could find out what happened to her sister and implied the Gongs were responsible. I felt that Yue going to the prison was perhaps for the purpose of taking revenge on the Gongs because they killed his beloved.

Agree entirely! He deserves a ML role in a good drama after this.

GSJ searching SQ’s room gave me anxiety like when my mum would check if I cleaned my room but I had shoved stuff under the bed lol

I’m wondering the same…

I think that’s what they meant but it’s still stupid because she has an obviously natural face. In fact her face is a little dished (which is adorable imo) but that’s something that can’t be done with plastic surgery.

The ending of episode 8 really proves the theory that YWS’s Raven (HYS) kept her at a chi level nominally, but taught her a lot more.

I love the location of the Gong residence—just beautiful scenery and layout, it really adds to the feel of the drama. But that being said I would die from sleepwalking in the Zhi lineage residence because of all that open water everywhere, even inside lol.

I agree! I think his makeup looks great and gives him a better contrast —he’s supposed to have a weak constitution so I don’t see why people are complaining that he’s pale—not like he’s going to have been sunbathing when he’s sick lol.

I think they’re calling it Butterflied because of the curse she has. She is “Butterflied”

Yes I am thinking the same thing! So far I’ve never seen a bad drama from this director (A Familiar Stranger and The Killer is Also Romantic are two of my all time favorite dramas) and I have really high hopes for the rest of the episodes.

Yes! I was so happy for all the references throughout.
