Should I be watching the prequel first or is it watchable without it?
The answer is you "can" just watch this by itself but you wouldn't be able to appreciate the characters and historical references as much without watching the prequel.
It depends on personal preference really. But all the die-hard fans here will recommend you watch One and Only first cause it's a masterpiece! π
After 6 eps, the drama is cute and has fun situations. I guess it will be more intense in the forthcoming eps.…
Yeah I guess the screenwriter already tried to include heaps of references from One and Only for viewers to piece together. It kind of makes it more interesting for those who have read the novel as well since there are slight changes here and there but the essence of the leads' relationship and plot is still there...
Well reincarnation plot is censored in China but the screenwriter cleverly modified it to FL being a dubbing actress…
Hahaha Joy of Life is like an ex that you desperately want to forget. At first I thought it's gonna be a long distance relationship until it kinda becomes a semi break-up cause there hasn't been any update in ages...
Can they go multiple reincarnations or tribulations together? π My xianxia fangirl heart wants it π¬π…
I find that thought commendable and extremely scary at the same time. But then again I can't really argue cause I'm also rewatching One and Only again and again.
Another interesting thought: Would it be better to watch different tragic endings and experience heartbreak in multiple ways or rewatch the same tragic ending and know that it'll break your heart in the same way but multiple times? π

Nah just watch One and Only, the reincarnation hints are so obvious though and you got the whole comment section here to keep you well informed. Plus, you need to suffer first before tasting real sweetness π
Yeah I don't know why reincarnation and time travel are censored either but I guess it does make screenwriters come up with really creative ways to "infer" it anyway. Don't know how The Untamed made it pass censorship but Joy of Life had to invent the historical settings by travelling into the "future" LOL.
After rewatching One and Only's ending for the 100th time, I just realised that the modern Shi Yi is not "Cui Shi Yi" because she gave up her family name "Cui" to just be "Eleven [Shi Yi] of the Nanchen Royal Mansion". Am I reading too far into this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myW2d4iJZVo
This drama is relate with one and only? I don't really into historical drama T_T

Yep it's the sequel of One and Only, where the leads "reincarnate" and fall in love again. Technically you can watch this as a standalone but it's preferred to watch it after One and Only cause you'll appreciate the leads' relationship and historical references much more.
Also, One and Only is breathtakingly beautiful and only 24 eps long, which is kind of rare for historical C-dramas as they tend to be 40+ eps...
I absolutely enjoyed all six episodes so far. They know exactly how to impress us, everything is in details. Amazing…
Oh wait! 2 more eps are coming out tonight for iQiyi VIP, I thought yesterday's 6 eps were for the whole week but the 4 extra eps were a bonus for the premier πππ https://weibo.com/u/7495448420?is_all=1#_rnd1630991298580
It's not in this drama but I really want to try that massive instant hot pot thing π
