Best 2 eps yet of this painting arc. Gets a bit philosophical too. What is real to us vs illusion and the inevitable passage of time. Very fitting to make this illusion-painting world the opposite of what reality is.

Yes, I think King Xinan has to make an appearance at some point. SFL is investigating his disappearance, so it will need to lead somewhere.

I’m enjoying the fun in these eps. I miss the creepy stuff, but this is good too.

I had noticed that beggar and thought, yeah, that lingering shot on him must not be accidental.

I guess the only humans that would bleed red blood are those who were sucked into the painting (real humans from the real world) - hence why XY insists on trying to make the people bleed from the 6 places he's trying to visit (I forget what they are called collectively).

LOL

If she remembers everything now, did she remember what Xuanye said to her (his confession of his feelings)?

Nice to see a strong Banxia in this painting world - I hope we see a satisfying conclusion to this arc in the next eps.

If you can make it past the first 4 eps, I think it gets more watchable after that.

I’m only on ep 17, and yes, I guess Han Dong is the villain, but he’s a pretty charismatic one lol. He’s rocking his outfits and strutting around like he owns the world. I’m not sure if it’s really true all he wants is to rule the world, because it would be great if he had more depth to him. The actor is capable of much more complex roles but oh well. Will have to watch to the end I guess to see.

I’m watching on Viki, which is delayed a bit and I’m behind as it is since I’m watching Demon Hunter’s Romance at the same time. Hoped the subs come soon

As a child of the 90s, there’s a lot in here that reminds me of various shows/films from that time lol

Yeah, I think this arc may wrap up the finding her parents storyline, but as some have guessed, we may have just encountered the big bad in the “uncle” character. I could be totally off base, but with the SFL also entering the story now, I think the story will develop further.

Yep, want to get back to main plot too

Great fight!

Kind of slowish build up for the paper demon arc, but I'm liking the bits of comedy that are finally showing up here and there. Looking forward to how the fake portrait world story plays out. Wonder if Sima Lingying will help them or someone else.

Side note: "Uncle" has villain written all over him, but I hope we get more surprises in the second half. If he turns out to be the ultimate baddie, I hope it's a satisfying build up to the climax.

Makes sense, and I was wondering about that just now as I watched the previews.

It’s ok, this is a safe place to fangirl

I’m guessing it would be May based on the progress of the sets. Apparently there is another iqiyi conference next week, so maybe an announcement then???

Yeah, I think I would love this more if it kept to the darker eerie vibe I was getting with the beginning arc (the owl demon). I feel the script likes to wax a bit too sentimental at times. The alternative (if it wants to keep things a bit lighter) would be to add more humor. But it’s still fun for me to keep watching.

Yeah, I’m waiting to see how this is revealed. Seems like something bad might happen
