Megumi-H

How I wish this Jiu Ying is like Xiang Liu from a different Universe…but alas it’s not.

Ah indeed the fake stones. The fake forest will always look odd, but you are right, the whole scenery looks beautiful🤩

I felt that it could be a common trope in c drama romance, making strong ML simp over strong FL…🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️.

It’s the way it’s directed, I feel that this drama make DX acts like a puppy towards FL in the Void. I didn’t get this impression when I read the novel 😓.
DX as a character is not weak, actually I feel he is pretty much like Lin BuYi, Love like the Galaxy, a deep character but carries a smile as his mask all the time. He is indeed clever and very observant, strong survival instinct, also much quieter and learnt fast. But that’s my opinion, so maybe other novel readers have different take on it.

Yeah, from a non technical person who watched a lot of c drama and XianXia/XuanHuan genre, as you mentioned, I do find this drama’s cinematography, CGI and costumes all pretty good. And like you observed, some viewers tend to be very harsh on this show 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Exactly! Hence I can’t understand when people comment that the CGI and cinematography is bad here…🤷🏻‍♀️This is so beautiful, especially the colour tone.

Recently there has been quite a few retro dramas set in 1980s, 1970s etc. Had to be selective with the acting and plot, but will definitely pick that one up again😍.

It ended okay, can watch.;) Ep 22 onwards will have a little separation but u hope it’s not long.

Nothing. He will be safe.

No, for this story.

Ah…many others fantasy dramas tend to have that type of tropes. But here if they followed according to the novel, there is no time differences, DX is only away from his army for a month. And he is actually on official break from his post when he went to the Void.

Hahahah…exactly, DuanXu is calculative and smart, he knows his limits around He SiMu, and as a teenager at heart, he does have moments of impulsivity but he still does it cautiously and test his boundaries around He SiMu in a witty way. He doesn’t get into He SiMu’s way in the spiritual realm.
The first scene when he reached there, being hang up there and yet able to defend himself is also how he shows his capability being a mortal in a spiritual realm. He is never really impulsive.

But He SiMu is also the only one that will still come and rescue him😍.

Okay, thanks for your view. Will pick that up when can🥰.

Did you watch his modern 1970s drama? I couldn’t get into that one because of the FL.😅

Yup, hence I understand what they are doing here…👍🏻 great that the viewers can get that. As I saw some comments earlier about YanKe being in love with HSM and DX being a tag along and lacks his own ability to survive. DX is actually very observant and smart, and although he has no power, he still knows how to take care of himself.

These inner emotional struggles are nicely played out by Arthur, as in the novel, you hardly able to see all these.😍

I don’t think it’s that straightforward for HSM. Firstly, she never wanted the role/title, but for her longing to her parents, especially her father, she took it and carry the legacy of keeping balance to the spiritual realm. She longs to be mortal, to live and live normally but she never has those experiences because she lacks her senses. So she is technically truly starting to learn what is living like, after she met DuanXu.
This story is never a journey of just ML finding love with Ghost Queen, it’s actually more of FL’s journey to discover what she truly wants to live for. Life of immortality and power never gives her happiness and joy….

She allows herself to go into the illusion world and mix hers with DuanXu so that she can guide him out.

Yup absolutely, Duan Xu is special.
