I'd take these tops with a huge grain of salt - I guess they're counting access not ratings, maybe. For example, Queen Cleopatra has a 13% from critics and a 2% from audience on RT (it was 1% yesterday LOL) but it's third on the first top.
People tune in and maybe also tune out.
Edit: 1 day late, Queen Cle' has 11% from critics, LOL. Netflix can have some WTF moments...
A lot of them are based on novels. If there's no HE (or not an easily achievable one), they can only work with…
OMG when people reference LaR and I ALWAYS flash back to the final arc, when XuanJi got to be a MALE God of War, LOL, and SiFeng was STILL mooning over her/him? hahaha. And not even a cute man, obviously, since it had to be a manly God of War, but a completely buff, no-romantic-inspirational man, LOL, it threw me off every single time he was on screen.
Cheng Yi must've had to resort to the best acting abilities he ever had to put himself in the head of lovelorn SiFeng hahaha. Imagine the pain :D
Every xianxia has its WTF moment, LOL, and there are always MCs who die, reincarnate, etc... I'd say maybe The Untamed is luckier in that department, but then Wei WuXian dies right at the beginning LOL. So there's none of them that make the non-dying character cut :D
PS The novel I was talking about (ABO danmei, though, in warning) is Accidental Mark. It's actually quite cute :)

There's a danmei novel I've read where the MC is a media producer. He makes a sweet school drama and times its release to air right when a huge IP xianxia gets to its middle arc, because, the MC says - xianxia ALWAYS gets to be dogblood and abuse the watchers, so when people start getting their hearts broken by the xianxia, they'd need to have an escape - and his cute school drama is it.
He makes a HUGE profit too LOL.
See, even novel characters know what's up :D (And I imagine iQiYi is now rubbing their hands in satisfaction over LIS hahaha).
Yes his soul fragment is in the shell and he'll come back after 1000 yrs. The child is TTJ and LSS after their…
TTJ and the Devil God are two different entities. For him to be forever gone, he'd have needed to BECOME the Devil God, and he didn't. He ascended when he was refining the Heart Protecting Scale (MY is a god, for someone to change his Scale that someone needs to be of similar power) and then he didn't CHANGE into DG as much as he absorbed his power, like he was absorbing demon power.
So what needed to be destroyed to stop the All-In-Distress-Way was his body and whatever is left from Devil God. TTJ's mortal soul can be saved... except his actions in the end take a very large toll so he's also gone (maybe saved in the Scale for the time being, before his soul can be put back together).
In the last few years, I've come across many dramas either with BE or OE, In this year only I have watched four…
A lot of them are based on novels. If there's no HE (or not an easily achievable one), they can only work with what they have. Xianxia has always been a bloody genre LOL.
OMG these cosplayers are next level amazing. I mean, am I seeing things because for a hot second there I thought…
He's cosplaying HuaCheng, but his face is pretty similar to LYX from certain angles, LOL. And there WAS a moment when TTJ had that bandage around his neck and everybody was clamouring for LYX to be Xie Lian LOL :D
can someone spoil me the ending please ~ thank you very much! I wanna have some heart preparation before I start…
The world is saved through sacrifice. The love story ends in tears, but it's a victory for the one who sacrifices. You can see it as a BE because they don't stay together - there's a hope for rebirth, but a small one - or a OE because that hope is there so there's room for more.
But the whole journey is worth it. Very much worth it.
What happen to old lady did he solved her problem why she didnt die ? I dont understand that can anyone explain…
She doesn't have a case to solve, she's the ink spirit - she's the one who links the caligrapher to the spirits he needs to help. She tells at one time she's very, very, very, VERY old. She's also not made of heart strings, so not an obsession.
She wanted to be released because PYY's grandfather didn't want to go help more spirits any more, maybe because he got scared to death when the fall incident occured - the one shown in the final ep. But now she likes PYY's kindness and "he is different" from grandpa, so she wants to stay around and help HIM solve problems.
They didn't, CGY was exhausted when ChuYing took over. When she sent the location to the detective, PYY was about to fall and it should've taken him a while to come. They probably worked for at least half an hour or so before the ambulance got there.
I wanted to smack the detective through the screen when he pulled CGY from PYY then. It's not over til it's over and the medics weren't even there, what the heck!
I MISS the ANCIENT DEVIL GOD so much.He was such a MATERIAL GIRL. His cross brow arrow. His evil bone. His bone…
GREEN. Olive-green, to be precise. Those green eyes were the best. And his completely unbothered expression. That man had no f**** to give. For anything LOL.
Loved the ending! It can easily have a S2. The powerful crying scene of Cao Guang Yan was very impactful because…
Even if they didn't learn immediately, they'd have found out, because Yang (the surviving twin) had already given them the biggest clue. From there it was a very easy path to follow, they just needed to find the first step.
There were really some HILARIOUS scenes these last two eps - the other two helpers seeing the obsessions for the first time, LOL, and conking right out hahaha. And the other two going "you get used to it" and they did!! Amazing :D
I hope there'll be a second season, this is too good to end with so few eps.
What's the connection between Grandpa and the man who fell from building? Did I miss something?
Grandpa used to go solve the obsessions' cases all by himself, alone. No backup team like PYY gathered. That was one story about how he once almost died doing it - I guess it was preparation for the last ep. The ink lady saved him at that time and she's now attached herself to PYY and doesn't want to be gone either, any more.
People tune in and maybe also tune out.

LYX is CWN and no one else...

But still heartbreaking and a tearjerker. Dive in, this drama is awesome til the end!
