Yup! I think Moondust explained it pretty well down below, but when Mo Xuan Yu sacrifices himself in the book, WWX inhabits his body so he does look like MXY in the novel. In the live adaptation, they couldn't change the actors of course, but the ritual that was preformed meant MXY traded his soul with WWX's essentially. Mo Xuan Yu was known to be a bit crazy, always wore his mask, and rarely went out. Since people rarely saw his face, no one really knew what he looked like as an adult. This is why no one thinks anything of his sudden appearance change.

So, there are different levels of respect/intimacy when calling someone's name. For instance, WWX is close to LWJ so he calls him Lan Zhan. Hanguang Jun is a title rather than a name and Lan Wang Ji would be his full name. Also, this is why LWJ calls WWX," Wei Ying" later on. It implies some level of intimacy or knowing someone more so than using a title of status or their courtesy name. Mo Xuan Yu is the person who summons WWX's spirit (for lack of a better word) and he is the body that WWX now inhabits. WWX initially masquerades as him so this is why people call him by that name.

Same! I think I'm in love, lol. It's so refreshing to see someone engaging with and including us international fans. Also their YT video edits and the titles to some of the BTS are pretty hilarious too. Somebody deserves a raise.

I choked when I first saw it, lol. The shade is all too real XD

Not sure what Youku is on, but I would like some, lol. https://twitter.com/YoukuOfficial/status/1379278119589224448

That's why I ended up subscribing to Youku so I could watch the whole thing. The spoilers were everywhere and almost unavoidable. I didn't want the end to be completely ruined for me so I caved.

Ah, okay, thank you!

Where did you watch the bts? I didn't see it on the app.

I just did as well and it's at 1.99M subscribers now. ^^

If you click on the 37th episode it will prompt you for payment. Mine said three yuan which ended up being about a dollar.

This last episode brought all the tears and smiles and the chemistry between Earth and Mix really makes the smallest actions seem the most intimate. So sad it's over but it was a great journey along the way and I couldn't have asked for a better ending. Kudos to everyone involved in making this and the actors themselves! Every scene was so heartfelt. This is definitely going on the rewatch list!

Lol, agree to disagree on this one. Thank you xD

I can see where you're coming from but I'm not sure it's a homophobic avoidance of kissing/touching. I think it is a realistic progression of their relationship. Yes, we get kissing scenes galore in straight dramas but this isn't a straight drama. They're living in a place where there is a lot of outside things going on and being gay isn't widely accepted. We get to see Tian's uncertainty about his sexuality when he confesses to his best friend, so he obviously was worried about people not accepting him for it. I also think they did a good job of avoiding the 'I'm not gay, I just like you' trope by having them subtly confess to each other repeatedly.

It might be because I've been in a similar situation of knowing two people have feelings for each other yet having to wait for the right time that I don't mind their slow burning progression. Throughout the drama we see Tian's uncertainty about anything regarding himself and Phupha is constantly doing the push and pull thing with him. That along with their ten year (I believe) age difference and them both being guarded characters, I think the lack of intense or impulsive skinship made sense. If they had kissed, I'm not sure they would have faced each others feelings in a healthy manner because of the timing. That is, of course, my personal take on it and merely how I understood their relationship.

All that being said, I am looking forward to the ending and hopefully we get some super fluffy moments amidst the incoming angst.

I think this drama is more about learning to forgive and love oneself rather than the physical and romantic aspect of love. This is really Tian's story of personal growth so Tian and Phupha's slow romantic interest in each other was more of a bonus for me. I'm personally okay without the kiss until the last episode because there's a lot more here than the romantic aspect.

The last episode he was in was so intense it brought tears to my eyes. He really looked like he was filled with so much longing and loyalty towards ZZS. Absolutely! The emotions he brought forth were so tangible and they broke my heart a little. Best of luck to the actor, I'm sure he'll get more prominent roles in the future.

I plan on watching for a second time subbed on youtube once it fully comes out. I finished watching and immediately wanted to watch it all over again xD

He really was stunning. I would be minding my own business, watching the drama and reading the subtitles, and then I'd get wrapped up in how truly handsome and pretty he is.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. He gave me some SLS too. T_T

Ah, okay. My bad.

This have me a good giggle https://twitter.com/lanzhanqilai/status/1377107109423194121 I still can't get over WKX and YBY being savage to each other the whole drama. xD
