Sorry, No. I wasn't looking for a typical macho lead. You misunderstood. I am interested in strong - not macho. Also, I asked if he matures mentally. I said nothing about fighting abilities, and the like. Fighting ability is not synonymous with strength.

You're welcome.

Thank you for your reply. I have also read that there are/were just four translated episodes on Daily motion, (a French platform available in the UK) but I have not verified this.

Yes. Moonlight Mystique - the other one to which I was referring. I recognised it straight away, because I like to watch that actor.

I found this also on episode two underneath: https://t.ly/3ARAf
but did not click on it - so, not sure what kind of link it is. (It says that it is safe.) Don't forget that you are looking for a false/fake title picture (or whatever it's called) of Luo Lunxi on it.

This is the link for episode one of The Story of a Woodcutter... with English subs - minus the '&index' part at the end (and I am in the UK).

Do you not understand sarcastic or satirical comments? Wow, I can not believe that you thought that this person was, as you say, "begging for..." How old are you, I wonder?

So, what's going on here? This is called 'Substitute Bride' on myasiantv and is supposed to be about twins. In fact the synopsis seems familiar and it might be something that I watched in the past. However, the title picture is from the killer Bride, and the first few minutes seem to prove it. This is the second mixed up drama being shown on this platform.

Sorry but I wouldn't know how to find out that information. I only watched one episode before moving on to new dramas. I have just tried the link, but it failed. If I can find it again, I'll let you know tomorrow sometime.

Thanks for the reply. You are definitely right about the first part. As for there being no clues, I seem to remember the demon Queen (or somebody) saying something about a missing person/demon that nobody had seen in years. I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

I am starting to get annoyed with this drama. I have read the comments below about the alternate lives, but nobody has asked what the FL's master's role is in all this. Is he a demon in disguise or an immortal working with a demon whom we know nothing about? Is this disembodied demon (who is working with the master) living off of the negative emotions which are being generated in this set of alternative memories? The mind boggles, as it were!

My thoughts on the latest episodes:

Thank you. Hopefully, it will be explained at some point.

Thanks for the response. I had understood most of what you say but wondered if it was an event in her past which we don't know about yet. Afterall, nobody (in the drama) has mentioned anything about her going over a cliff at some point in her life but the scriptwriters will have to find a way to explain the scenes that we have seen thus far.

I have been confused about the scenes where the FL had memory flashbacks and wondered what the story was. There is nothing in the drama to even hint at transmigration and I only discovered it when I was reading some of the comments about the novel. I have read also that the drama does not follow the transmigration story, so what is the point of the viewer seeing these scenes. In the drama, does FL herself know that she has 'lived before', so to speak?

Yes. In historical dramas it is an ID tag worn at the waist. Otherwise, it is a token of some sort - usually to do with Buddhism.

It is called a lingpai. 令牌

Who would bother to throw a bucket* of 'oil' on an already-raging fire? If this was just water, it is a gross wrongful assumption on her part; made because he was also masked and pushed her away? Hmm. I'll have to wait to see.
Edit: flask

My very first thoughts on watching the first two minutes of episode one.

Agreed; on all counts.

I did not watch TV dramas as such, but did watch kung fu and later, Chow Yun Fat movies.
