I had the same thought in the identical words, lol

Pretty exciting but extremely violent with short (@12 minutes) episodes). And who is this manly Hei Ze? A new face to me who commands attention on the screen, let me tell you. I guess I would have moved along on this one except for him. 🥰

Good to know. I’m glad they didn’t decide to cast some plain looking fellow to be true to the novels! 😂

Surely the running joke in this great series is describing Yang Yang’s character as very plain and ordinary looking. 😵‍💫😂 Often dramas will have characters call the ML handsome over and over, as if the audience is incapable of deciding this themselves. But here they are lying like a dog. 😅

I would swear the music is taken with only a few notes changed from the first season of Ever Night. And the plot is quite similar. I am not complaining! Totally here for it, because Ever Night 1 is a legend in my own mind. (btw, I didn’t dislike Dylan in the second season but hAtEd the plot, hated hated hated, but enough about me!)

Yang Yang’s first flight made me feel the joy all the way to my bones. 😍

I would watch for OST alone, but paired with Yang Yang, it’s not to be missed!

I did the same thing; binged it all in a day, lol. There are some little chapters after the ending that I skipped; I might go back sometime.

It may be comforting to know that in the novel the author makes it plain the males do not “show” their pregnancy because of some inner pocket or something that grows all on the inside, lol. So it doesn’t get comical to see a pregnant male, thankfully. Be nice if they could work that out for women.😂

I read it, too, because the pace of the series was making me crazy. I loved it.

Whoever thought of releasing one episode a week should think again! 😫

There are constant interactions with several female characters, but romance is not the primary motivator in this drama. I would list humor first.

I had to buy the express because the suspense was killing me. This little series was a ridiculous and unexpectedly great pleasure. Seeing the ML use modern business practices in the ancient world was cute and different. I even loved how he would have success after success only to be knocked down by the conniving nobles. Then he would build back again, a very positive message in the midst of chaos. The ML goes on my ever growing list of favorites; his character was adorable and well played. I loved all of it!

Happy Ending

Just had to run here and say that was the most enchanting first episode I’ve ever watched. I love the MLs in this drama, but I’m not sure they’re going to be able to measure up to the children.😍 I have already adopted (in my mind) the little girl as my granddaughter; just letting you know!💕

Wow, this is…I am completely hooked. Something different for a change! And it’s not because it’s bl, it’s because it is well made (I think). Love the mystery and the actors and the slow burn. Hate that the virus or whatever it was knocked off all the AB blood types, because I would be gone! 😭🤣

I agree. This actor is amazing; I don’t think I’ve seen him play the same character twice. Every role becomes separate and real from him as a person. I have many favorite Chinese actors that I love to see onscreen, but tbh, most seem to portray the same person (is it themselves? lol) in every drama. So this is a special talent and achievement on the part of ZXC.

Right? They are both adorable and both problematic, having each deceived and lied to the other repeatedly. Of course, they had their reasons, but. Whatever the drama does with them, I don’t hold out a lot of hope for this kind of relationship irl 🫩

As much as I love Zang Hai/ Xiao Zhan, you lock me up in a cave for even an hour, we are done, buddy

Agree with everything you said. I actually don’t want to watch new episodes because then I will have watched them and can’t see them for the first time again. This drama is making me crazy!
