That is unforgivable to me. Kids often already blame themselves a lot for things out of their control (divorce, parent getting sick, etc.). This has damaged him forever, the GM is just vile.

Delightful show. He is terrified and embarrassed of his true self and she has always shouldered all burdens and could never be a child even though she likes childish things too. Also they are both so highly competitive, I love them. I look forward to this the most now. The password scene was hysterical, it was so over the top for no reason. I thought the ML in Twinkling Watermelon was wonderful and he is doing great here as well.

Had a lot of fun watching this, terrific show. The end took some nonsensical setups especially with teacher Lee's decision making but it led to everyone fighting their own demons and getting past it, not just for GaMin but for every one in the Study Group.
I'm also probably not the only one who didn't skip the intro song. 😄great OST too.

Surprised and enjoyed how they fleshed out the character of Sun Cheol. He seemed like just another thug/guard #1 last week but this week showed how everyone has a story, personal pain and desire to be better, just that the circumstances like this high school and people like Han Ul stamp them out. The show can go so quickly from action to comedy to heartbreak but it's all done so well.
Credit to actor Cha Woo Min, considering his character is the big bad, he has very little amount of dialogue so bulk of his acting is subtle and menacing and he's doing a good job.
Also laughed when that guy called GaMin ugly and he took off his glasses and the camera held his face for a few sec, it was like yes let's look at this face.

Ep 20:
SYS and XRR watch an entire saga about obsessive love and not letting go leading to death and tragedy.
SYS: 👀...that can't be me
Green Scale: OMG ok here, THIS is what will happen
SYS: hmm...ok...maybe🤔
Spirit Spring: Look I can make you do THIS!
SYS: ok fine I'm kind of convinced now.

This is just my own view, I feel the main plot is moving rather slowly but the individual episodes are well done and entertaining. It feels like a sort of "monster of the week" format and the sides stories are enjoyable, like the loyal cat and the love story. But it's already at the halfway point and everyone is still pining for each other with little change. Although the next few episodes look like they will progress the main plot.

Oh I see that this is the same screenwriter for MLC. This explains it a lot. As much as I adored MLC, I think I enjoyed it a lot more when I watched it once it was completed and this seems to follow the similar structure. Now it makes me nervous about the ending.

I think it's because the ML is so good at expressing the emotions. You can see mixture of disbelief, despair, the panic and fear and then fury during the scene which is perhaps why the director gave it so much screentime to it.

I have to say I really liked the character of MQG. She obviously enjoyed life's pleasures but she also took her roles and responsibilities as master of a sect seriously. She said she would pay for her any of her disciple's mistakes (which is why she chose the good looking ones) which sounded like a jest but she really did it no matter how big the mistake was, even if it cost her life. She seemed frivolous but she wasn't at all. Then when she was dying she was like "alright peace out, it was a good life except for that one thing but eh, just do this one last thing for me SYS". She actually set it up so if SYS followed the instructions and ascended and did the thing the world would be ok even without her. But SYS just decided to do his own thing anyway.

Désolée but the nickname refers to the dried version of raisins ^^ I don't read the novels before watching since the adaptations can be so different from source. But if the novel is good hopefully the show will also be good, we shall see if there are many changes. 🤞

This ML is so very good looking. I can see why his shifu would take him to her mountain. Also EP 7 was some of the best angst I've seen so I know this is probably going to be one big emotional rollercoaster of a plot. I just hope it doesn't end sadly.

Also that jade immortal seriously needs to invest in better home security.

Fantastic show. I don't even seek out this genre but this is riveting and so well produced. The fight scenes are just 😙🤌 good. I adore this dorky, bright eyed, lovable yet also deadly ML. Hwang Min Hyun is perfect as this character.

This ending was like someone gives you one Pringles chip and then takes the whole tube away. I just want something a little more. In fact, so many of the cdrama endings are like this! 😭 The standard for good thorough ending is Legend of Shenli for me since that gave me closure.

well there goes my sleep

Oh yes this is definitely a good xianxia and you should give it a shot. Apologies if it came across rude.

I actually like the idea of equivalent exchange in this world. A lot of other xianxia has the deities kind of able to do whatever, but here it is a monkey's paw thing to plead for a change and you don't know the price beforehand. Divine Clan was screwed either way I guess.

Ep 35 also answered all my previous questions and Emperor ZM was the bestest human emperor. He got such a raw deal because of Fate. After being scolded like for 10K (yikes, constant rebirth of abandonment by your lovers?) I'm pretty sure Fate is now actually doing Hao Tian's will which kind of sounds like pressing the Reset Button on the world with Demon Lord by killing everyone. Hao Tian is such a jerk. I can't wait for these last few eps!

After Ep34 I was like omg nooo they died?? And they're going to die again? Please give a happy long life for once.

I think I held my breath for the entirety of Ep 35. 😧 Wow that was a loaded episode.

All the ones recommend by BaekhyunoonaID are good Wuxia. I would not consider this Wuxia there is no jianghu in this world. I think this is a great xianxia but I do not want to recommend if someone is looking for that genre.

Oof that was rough. I wish they had done two episodes today with EP 35 because it looks like EP 36 comes back to the present and I was dying to find out just WTH happened in the past. 😔

These later episodes are important in setting the stage for what is to come. There's a lot of question still on what exactly happened because we can see 10K years later that no one remembers the wonderful ZM, the three Abyss stooges don't remember their old selves and many humans can cultivate but in the past it was only ZM. So many questions!

One thing I noticed is Book's hypocrisy. He tells Pearl that it is Hao Tian law for artifacts to not have feelings. But he is the one who's gone directly against Hao Tian because of his feelings for Pearl. Hao Tian says hey the sky broke let only Pearl fix, and Book asks if he can help and gets a big No but he does anyway. Pearl is supposed to recharge with sun and moon for 1k years and she may not have even supposed to be awake at this time but Book missed her too much so he bring her back in 10 years using some special blood. He is also emotional in and he seems to only follow the rule of Pearl+Book 4Evah in Eternity.

I adore Pearl she is sooo cute, earnest and openly loving. That is why I refuse to believe that she betrayed ZM like that illusion showed. Even under the Heartstring and Disillusion water, she fought like hell against them to not harm XXC and she would have been the same just as much in the past.
