ShortCircuit

I've no idea. They said something from ep 25, I'm assuming some piece of BGM nobody paid attention to, LOL, except for those complaining.

I don't really care about it, though, it looks like it's more busy-making, the production seems to have replaced it maybe because they don't want to make waves til the drama finishes airing.

IF there's any plagiarising, the guilty party should get what they deserve, but again, it's been too short a time for it to be anything more than an accusation, so far.

I might as well pretend that I wrote the actual novel and the author plagiarised it from me, and it could be repeated until it's disproven, but that would take time. Until it's proven, and a legal decision made, I will take any slander on anything (for any media, not just this drama) with a huge grain of salt.

Ming Ye (dragon) and Sang Jiu (water fairy) are NOT the past lives of Tantai Jin and Li SuSu/YeXiWu.

The dragon TTJ, YXW and the other two characters visited is what remained of Ming Ye (he became God of War after cultivating, but his original form is a Flood Dragon, just as SJ's original form is a Sweetwater Clam). The dragon's remaining qi (energy) is used to trap the 4 people into his (the dragon's) dream of his past life, where he was the God of War and had to fight the Ancient Devil God, and also had a tragic love affair with SJ.

The dream was supposed to provide some help to the characters:

1. teach TTJ what love is and how not to waste his chance at love
2. give LSS a chance to get a tear from TTJ (that she has to use as one of three artifacts in order to create a weapon to get the Devil Bone from TTJ's body) and
3. show us (the viewers) how the Ancient Devil God fell, why he looks like TTJ (actually, more like why TTJ looks like ADG), how the Immortal Realm's Mt. BuZhao came to exist, and how the ultimate weapons are created - the Bone Refining Seal is going to matter a lot in this final arc of the story.

But again, MY and SJ are not the past lives of TTJ and LSS.

I hope this time I explained it more completely.

After coming back to the Immortal Realm, she seems to allow herself to feel love again. I'll wait and see.

There are reincarnations in xianxia too, it's just that this particular case is not one of them.

This is not a takedown of anyone's religion or cultural beliefs, I find it strange to have hit such a sensitive point when talking about a fictional set of characters. I did not intend to amuse myself with other people's questions, but to actually offer some explanation. If it's not enough, or not clear enough, it's definitely my fault for not finding the right words or maybe assuming some common share of knowledge on this topic.

Anyway, I hope you're enjoying the drama. Have a nice day!

MAN. Merman. Except he can't swim (evidence in the episode, LOL, he just kind of waddles LOL).

The YiYue tribe have a contract (kind of) with the Ancient Devil God. They give him a child as a vessel to reincarnate, and he gives them something in return (they didn't say what, probably the ability to talk to animals that some or most of them seem to have).

TTJ is that child. He was always going to become DG's vessel to reincarnate, so the Devil Bone was in him since birth. That's why they look alike - TTJ got ADG's face since he's going to become DG anyway.

If he actually becomes the reincarnated DG again, or not remains to be seen.

Somebody FedEx-ed him a smartphone some 500/10k years in the past LOL

No, gods and spirits have no souls that go through Hell / Nether World or get to reincarnate. Their divine essence is basically either destroyed or absorbed by nature when they're gone.

There is NO actual indication they even looked like that, LOL (it's the usual "they're reincarnated and keep the same appeareances" trope). Of course in the drama, TTJ ended up looking like Ming Ye since he relived his life, and LSS ended up looking like SJ, since she relived her life, but they're not the same persons, and there is no actual reincarnation.

The dragon (whatever was left of him) was what remained of MY and he is now gone forever.

Procrastinating. I have to write a work report but it's the weekend and I don't want to.

And waiting on Oh No! Here Comes Trouble before tomorrow's TTEOTM eps LOL.

The 56 must've been since forever ago, it's been a limit of 50 max for a while now. Some IPs got around using two seasons, but it might've impacted the viewership or something, or maybe the censors didn't like the workarounds and set their foot down, I don't know.

But the content is kind of the same, we're not getting cheated of a lot of time, and TBH I don't want to see irrelevant scenes that have to deal with the Ye family for example, or just longer scenes of blood spitting, LOL. I know for some people watching they might feel it's rushed, but it doesn't feel rushed at all - it has a good pace, good flow, and as long as they don't miss the actual ending part... this drama will end up a good one.

It WASN'T a dream as in, it did happen, ten thousand years ago.

It IS a dream, as in, the people caught in the dragon's dream had no independence, they just "lived" through the events from thousands of years ago. They couldn't change anything at all and were not aware they weren't those people until they escaped the dream.

The storylines are obviously connected, LOL (Ji Ze the God of Time gave LSS her artifacts and a way to get rid of the Devil Bone, the BuZhao Mountain is still where Ming Ye created it, with its plentiful immortal energy, etc.).

5-7 are the most easily recognizable BGM parts. Or at least that's what I recognized LOL.

And you felt the need to make an account especially to come and talk about that vitriol they're using there... why?

Everybody's viewing preference is their own. Don't get too upset. If the drama is being watched by millions of viewers (internally and internationally) it doesn't matter what the anti-fans are saying. Just please don't bring that here, it kind of tends to ruin the mood.

AoL is worth watching to see RunYu get his revenge, LOL.

What are you talking about? Before airing date, it was already edited down to 55-minutes long eps, a total of 40 eps. They're not cutting it now to shorten it.

Also, most full-length dramas have 45-min long eps, including op and ed. TTEOTM has 55-min long eps with op-ed, that is about 50-min content each ep. So even if they did edit it down a bit, it's not really all that much.

The other option would've been to split it into two seasons, like some xianxia big IPs already did. It's not really cool that way either - imagine being left off riiight between major events and having to wait for a few months at least before you can see the rest.

I am content with what they're doing right now. If they give it a proper ending, I don't mind it doesn't have many more eps.

It was a different version, probably still unreleased. The BGM is taking its time.

There is a novel. It doesn't seem to be translated.

This is the author's ENG GR page, I have no idea if the above novel is somehow part of the Death Notice series (that seems to have an ENG edition at least).

TBH it looks like they split the awards pretty evenly between nominees, though I'm sure they had their reasons to decide the winners. But from the outside, it looks like there were lots of safe choices.

It's a fanmade trailer too, LOL, no spoilers. There are official ones, very spoilery particularly if you have any idea what it is about so don't watch those :D

The OST is also amazing, been on my playlist for 4 years now. I hope you'll come to love WWX as we all do :) (BTW it starts with WWX dying LOL. Don't sweat it. He doesn't stay dead for too long :D)

I bet it was the only one he could remember at the time LOL
