Actually well adapted - brought to life in this drama.

There's no real backstory in the novel. Unfortunately! They are just crazy antagonist character in the book.

Sos true. Again Director Zeng Qing Jie is freaking awesome!!!

Everyone is gushing abt the leads but let me gush abt the action sequence. Props to the action director. That shoot-the-arrow-then-grab and double shoot SYQ on the cliff is a masterpiece!!! Wow!

I so agree. Even the antagonist characters here are so goodly acted you swear at watching them. They're new actors and their presence stays with you. I wish they kept the title though- I like Chasing Jade better, I I've been so into this adaptation since it's production in 2024 and read all gossips and drama behind the scenes since day one lol.

Check topic discussion above. I posted the link there.

Watch till 15 and 70-80 % confident that Li Huai An character was a mixed of 2 character from the novel and might be a good one. I like it. I have a soft spot for this character after his redemption arc in the novel (I freaking cried reading that part). It was wonderfully written. Props to the scriptwriter for writing him this way, I like him better here.

Agree. The director IS the major reason of the success of the drama. If you watched the leads interview. They said every little details is meticulously crafted by the director even the angle of the kisses, the when's and how's. They even joked that he's an expert at 💋 kissing. Lol. I'll say it again idol drama don't need traffic stars but a good production team especially an excellent director/scriptwriter to make a successful hit. This has proven it for me with the director track record. I can even say he made the realtively unknown leads in Blossom a traffic stars themselves.

Terrible lazy in deed but I guess beggars can't be choosers. Even for me that understand little words and phrases wonder why. Example the little sister calls her "older sister" but netflix translate it as calling her name same with "brother-in-law". There's a dialogue I remember as well where the ML was telling her to give him a yr. if he fail... instead of if he dies... I watch it there coz netflix allows me to enjoy the cinematography much better in its crystal clear capacity. I read somewhere here tencent has decent translation better than netflix. I can't validate that as I don't have tencent subscription lol.

It is so good. But once you start better find a drama rehab center. 2 chapter a day then 1 chapter a day next week will give you such terrible withdrawals that need a fix pronto.

The trajectory of adaptating the novel is done wonderfully - so far up to 9 ep . If they continue to follow the novel, yes they'll bound to separate but... she'll eventually be on an adventure to look for his missing "under the impression" forced to conscript husband. Lol. I enjoyed reading this part in the novel as there’s a lot of comedy. I hope it'll translate well to the small screen.

Nope. It's his real voice. So is TXW. He's been recently using his own voice. None listed as his voice actor. He sounds different compared to his older drama because this is his real voice. Lol

Then ML will be 22 or 23 in the drama

15 when he met her and he was 20. He bought her a pair of arm bracer before he left for the war for her 16th bday.

I hope not but it'll probably the same set-up as the few chapters with the village.

Yes. He is. Li huai an redemption arc is one of the best extra chapter in the book.

Nope. He's going straight to war after the village if they follow the novel.

His father is Xie and mother is Wei, sister to PM Wei Yuan. The father Xie Lushan is friends/brother with PM Wei in their younger days as generals and shared same teacher. Xie zheng grew up under pm since parents death. So pm is his maternal uncle/adopted father figure.

I'm fine with either as long as the story is well executed. I wish director zeng will ✂️ cut some of the extra chapters for us too.

Zou Yue wrote love like the Galaxy. It was one I lilke.
