the only thing that regretful for yuan was she lost a lot of time at early episodes coz she must finish her study first which make her losing focus to nurture her relationship with Lechen since early..at the same time, lechen spend so much time with Ailin..Ailin and Lechen both has friend type of romantic..so i guess its understandable for us to hardly see what kind of romantic between them..but eyes cant lie..lechen like both of them..if lechen take any longer time to decide, he risk to hurt one of them or maybe all of them (including lechen himself)..and thats the drama for spice things up this variety show..

i have a feeling that what Victor Ma said was related to this..
may i know why you didnt consider them smooth sailing?
LanFang for me is already end game..Xiao Jiao can and must try until the end (until he can satisfy his heart) but in the end, Rulan who the one decide..and from what i saw, LanFang is end game unless dr Fang suddenly make big mistake..who knows..

from my pov, lechen has feelings for both Ailin and Yuan..i dont want to call this stronger but towards Ailin, Lechen has a bit more feelings than Yuan..why he conflicted between Ailin and Yuan is because Yuan give him more secure feeling coz Yuan only pour her attention to him..at the same time, he feel more conflicted towards Ailin because he is not sure how much Ailin like her because of her outgoing personality make him see her a bit blur towards other men inside the house (i can call this as a very slight jealousy thing)..
you wont having a growing relationship without a conflict..there is only 1 outcome after the conflict between Ailin and Lechen..either they decide to end it or they will grow to understand each other more and getting more closer in the future..
with Yuan, everything seems so smooth..sometimes, always smooth is not that good..

Yess..where is the formidable WZ from the start?no one can control her before..not even her sister..

Exactly..in the novel, WZ is the most formidable demon in chang'an..the only one that more powerful than her is her husband which is MZY (MZY very scary to others but very lovable only to her wife)..and also no one can manipulate WZ..
And what i dont like in mostly dramas is there is always inconsistency about strong FL in the early episodes but turn out to be easily manipulate towards the end..

You should watch it.the more angrier you are toward WZS, the more sweet you will feel when both WZ and MZY together fight WZS later and destroy him forever..✌️

Actually if the director choose the kid plot, it will be epic..how cute WZ as a girl being taken care by MZY like a father and daughter until MZY felt a bit traumatic and told WZ when she back into normal that they must not too hurry to have children..lol..this is one of my fav part in the novel..

The amnesia plot is to replace the event from the novel when WZ actually turn back into a kid..its kinda mix and match plot that the director choose to do..however, its just temporary..no worries..and i still hope the director include the twist towards the end about WZ and MZY..

There will be twist i guess at tomorrow preview for 30+ episodes..well, only if the director follow through the main story from novel..

The novel is very sweet though..i understand this is an adaptation after all..so the director can spice it a little bit..there is no WZS in the novel..WZ and LTZ are the most powerful demon lord in chang'an, no question ..in the other side, MZY is the most formidable taoist(even more than his seniors)..

Actually, the story is a bit different from the novel..in the novel, they knew each other identity because of WZ inhale a lot of demon miasma and shuangjiang happen to come to chang'an too..so i cant tell you what will be happened next..

Wuzhen initially is half human and half demon..i guess WZS try to change wuzhen into full demon..WZ already do the process since earlier episode..buttt, there will be twist at the later episode if the director follow the main path of the novel..just wait for it..hehe..

its a sincere praise..thorough and systematic..i really enjoy reading people's explanation as thorough as you did..haha..
when lechen came to the gym and saw ailin and ruilong there, i get a feeling that lechen want to confirm if ailin the one who took his key..since ruilong was there too, lechen seems like a disoriented person walking here and there..if only he brave enough to pull ailin out for a minute to talk privately, maybe it will be more clearer for them..that train date indeed put a test to lechen..
at last xiao jiao get his chance to date rulan next episode..i hope he get his answer since he already do almost all he can for rulan..
for yifan, yuxing and chichi relationship, actually im a bit confuse with yuxing..harder to see his intention than the others..first with yuan, and he move to chichi..and then come yifan to approach him but he seems oblivious how to handle yifan approach so chichi also confuse..now im also confuse too..lol..

Yes..i agree..lechen need to step up after this dates or he risk break 2 hearts at the same time coz of his indecisive attitude..
In the house, there are 1 triangle relationship (dr fang,rulan,xiao jiao),2 quadruple relationship (yuan,lechen,ailin,ruilong) + (yifan,yuxing,chichi,zihan) and 1 promising cute relationship (rui long wang jue)..very interesting..lol..

Just finished read your explanation below..wow such a thorough observation by you..did you think lechen hesitation is because of his inferiority thing that he told xiao jiao at earlier episode?
Well..i support happiness for any couple..and ofc i well aware too that having a relationship like oscar and leyan on s7 is a very rare thing to happen..they set a high standard though for viewers..so im not surprise there are some people expect more sweetness from s8 ..

Aaahh..thank you for the detail explanation..after all, i am the one who understand the whole situation wrongly..
And about ailin look upset with lechen..is it because lechen didnt give her all his card or because lechen hesitation when ailin ask him whether she must give him all her card to him or not?

exactly..but then i remember about what ruilong said to ailin while they are having a train date..he said that if he feels that the relationship wont happen, he wont even start it..what a pity..i think he must fight for it coz everyone in the house are all available..nothing fix yet..

Why did i feel that when ruilong give ailin his invitation card, actually ailin ask ruilong what kind of relationship he expect between them coz ailin feel that ruilong only behave like socially friendly towards her?
and ruilong took a step back and said he only want to have fun so ailin accept it as it is..i wonder if only ruilong actually said he is serious, will ailin consider him more since she felt a little dissapointed at that time with lechen attitude?

Xiao Jiao had his moments of sorrow watching rulan and dr fang yet he never give up and today he did that surprise for rulan..speechless..lol..good job xiao jiao..you fight for rulan respectfully..

FL can shamelessly confront ML and said the contract is null and void bcs it used both his blood and not her blood at all..lol..it will be very funny to watch their expression though if it really happen..hahaha..
