Thank you for your beautiful review! Tang Lici’s comprehension and the unfolding of this drama makes one to…
Thank you, Azure! What you said is exactly on point~ It was quite the journey for us, too! I learned a lot while watching this drama. Tang Li Ci and others have taught us a lot of things! X3 (P.S. Your discussion thread helped me a lot while writing the review~ Thank you for sharing your insights and knowledge! ^^)
Yess! I initially thought I wouldn't be able to overcome this ending, but WoF offered us so much more than I expected! This is a gem for sure. ^^ And I'm thrilled to see each one of us contributing from different angles, such as the unique emoji chart, and filling the "blanks" drama has left out.
Hi, Kwanto! I'm glad you enjoyed it! ^^ I completely agree with everything you pointed out. "WoF" is a masterpiece rich in cultural and philosophical elements. As viewers, we can relate to the underlying details if we take the time to consider what each character embodies and what they are trying to convey. There is so much we can learn from aspects like the karmic relationships and their consequences, the diverse creativity in music and fashion, and the various religious views that are embedded in the story. Since the audience is diverse, it's understandable that some may overlook these parts, which is why I humbly wanted to share my thoughts here. ૮₍ ´ ꒳ `₎ა After all, if we watch closely, we can see that our reality reflects these themes as well.
Ikr? Eek! 😖 He's the most unhinged character I've seen in the drama. Although life made him that way, he could still choose a less cruel one. His way of survival is crazy..
Lol 💯😆 He's actually a mild case compared to Sum Si Ming.
He's one crazy guy... Nothing can stop him from doing whatever he wants. He's scarier than the villains we've seen in the previous episodes..at least to me X"D
If I am going to keep all the characters: The fight flashback between Liu Yan and Tang Lici at the beginning of…
This situation has become quite convoluted and is straying from the original discussion. Based on the conversations on this page, it’s clear that the focus was solely on comparing the novel's content with the actual drama, as well as examining the cultural and historical context of ancient China as depicted in [Whispers of Fate]. It’s important to note that the source material is incomplete and was still ongoing when filming for the drama concluded. Consequently, this drama is merely ‘based on’ part of the original novel; it retains the core plot but makes essential adjustments to enhance the storytelling.
Moreover, if the so-called changes were solely based on a “rumoured” leaked script, it raises the question: why would it only impact A-Shui and not others? This line of reasoning doesn’t hold water; if such a scenario were true, we would be seeing actual lawsuits. It’s evident that @Azure and @Xiang83 have provided valid reasoning and information, as they possess in-depth knowledge of both the drama and the novel. Notably, @Xiang83 has watched the drama twice, which speaks to their dedication. Throughout the airing of the drama, they have consistently shared relevant insights. Disregarding this knowledge undermines the conversation, and it’s crucial to engage with the facts presented.
Have you finished watching the drama? If not, which episode are you at?
Really well written review! Im Mahayana school, but the basics remains. Agree with the storytelling and pacing,…
Thanks a bunch, Tara! ^^ You're right~💯✨
True about the little flaws, and as some of us discussed in the comments, cramming everything into just 40 episodes was inadequate. There were many events left out, which made the drama look like a giant puzzle with several pieces left out of the picture. I agree with the episodes you mentioned~ Those episodes include some of the most impactful conversations that lays foundation to the whole drama.
We could totally think that way, too~ If we refer to the last scene where Tang Li Ci vanished into the skies as a fox-dragon, we can assume he was enlightened by then, after he had truly let go of all attachments. True though, like you say, it gives room for us to think more in-depth whether from religious perspectives or just from a sociological point of view~ ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾
Probably cuz of the mangoes and coconuts~ XD
Yeah... Like a blank sheet of paper left unattended on the desk..

I should get enough sleep X'D Dunno why I would think that..
As I scroll further down the comments, I also found @Azure's useful information that was uploaded 12 days ago >> https://kisskh.at/755725-shui-long-yin#comment-24292802
