It seems like in the trailer for the next episode XXC is gonna give the lotus seed to MXL while in the forest.…
Hahahah…then we may not get to see this drama🤣. Like ep 21, the whole scene where XXC kissing MXL is so much more sensual, but it’s fine, we feel the gap by reading the novel😍.
I’m happy he’s not constantly in her face, trying to be the knight in shining armour without any real reason…
Well said. Yup, two strong leads are more enjoyable to watch. Now the focus is on FL, I do think subsequently, it will show more of ML’s background story.
One may feel why JCY is not helping MuDan. As he shouldn’t as he knew that she wants to use her own method to problem solve and wouldn’t interfere unnecessary. He is respectful of her choices and decision, even though he seems to focus on money, he is also indirectly observing and supporting her if she does ask of him. They are getting comfortable with each other company.
She starts a new life from ep. 6-7 onwards. And FL’s scheming was good to get out of the marriage and divorce.…
Yup, Liu Chang is a typical character stuck during that period, suffering from all the cultural tradition, even though he has great ambition, he will find every steps stifling and lack freedom. He admired FL’s courage but yet lacks her commitment. So he actually envious her and want to be close to her to be inspired by her, but obviously it’s too late😅. FL’s life does get better with ML around her now, although he seems uninvolved, he is also observing her and only help when she asked him. He respects her resilience and strengths and knew she would prefer her own ability to solve problems. Quite a nice watch, very different from Brocade Odyssey.
This seems like a common qns here or in most XianXia’s trope. However what I will say without much spoiler is…
@Jamesdaggett!Hey there! You are rude! I am sharing from perspectives because I read the novel. The drama may have added some plots but I don’t see much deviation from the original characters. Anyway, you don’t have to reply as I am not going to talk to rude people who are unwilling to have a constructive discussion about plot. Goodbye!
I really want Liu Chang to at least get a bit of redemption... Does his character have any hope or no😭
Liu Chang should learn to work out his relationship with his first love, Li You Zhen. She really does love him, and he can cherish her more. That will be a growth arc for him.
Nice touch by the production team to slowly shown viewers SML’s choice of costume changes from the beginning white, pale blue to bow a darker green, also showing his emotional entanglement and fluctuation.
Is it mandatory in Chinese drama to create annoying love triangle and make ml jealous???
This seems like a common qns here or in most XianXia’s trope. However what I will say without much spoiler is that the SML’s character is written well here, and even both have intertwined fate with FL, there is a richer back story of their bond. SML is still always putting effort in helping the two main lead. Although he said those words to make ML jealous, but his main intention is still to protect them both. I don’t find the triangle relationship annoying.
There are a lot of writing weaknesses in this story. The whole setup is a bit inane: rich guy manipulates space…
Well written reflection on this drama. I agreed with your view, there is really a lot of plotholes in this story. They tried too hard to include too many themes but resulted in weak characterization.
FL’s life does get better with ML around her now, although he seems uninvolved, he is also observing her and only help when she asked him. He respects her resilience and strengths and knew she would prefer her own ability to solve problems. Quite a nice watch, very different from Brocade Odyssey.
