Omg the author (of the novel?) is writing Wan Prng and Li Yunrui's story? I hope we really get a drama for this 😭🙏

Might decide to watch this for the master and disciple duo in Pursuit of Jade (grandson and grandfather here)

I agree with you. The moment we found out he was betrayed by his "brother" and his family was killed, I also couldn't forget the things he did in Lin'an. I had a feeling he'd get his karma. I even spoiled myself of his death b4 the ep even aired so I knew what to expect and didn't really mind the death. But watching it I couldn't help but have some emotions for him lol. Y'all may call me crazy, but if if's someone like Qi Min, I wouldn't have an ounce of that bc of how he's written. So yeah, it was me kind of feeling bad that he was betrayed by his so-called brother instead. That was the sad part for me. It really makes me wonder what it would've been like if his real brother was still alive. Anyways, next thing that happened had me stunned that he did that to himself, which in the end made me kind of happy to see as he seems to jave realized he deserved it after the wrong things he's done. And honestly? The actor nailed his role. Another reason that's got me intrigued with him.

Anyways, Qi Min deserves to die now.

Yes it seems so. Like it makes me now wonder what if his real brother was alive and the fake one was never involced in his life? Could things have been different? How you grow up can also affect how you become in the future too.

Btw, is it just me who felt really sad for Yuanqing (despite his past evil doings) b4 his death? Like not only was he stabbed (and betrayed) by his "brother" who he couldn't even kill himself, but he even decapitated himself (to punish himself for his wrongdoings?). I was shocked omg... He may be bad but he's better than Qi Min who has zero feelings and absolutely no heart (heart died long ago like he said) whatsoever. Poor guy. I wished he killed Qi Min right there. I can't wait for his death in the future.

I really want to praise Lin Muran bc even when he's playing an evil character, he got me invested! His acting is amazing! I can't wait to see him in his next dramas lining up: Mo Li, Wan Gu Zui Qiang Zong, and his currently filming Beautiful Fairytale where he plays the ML aahhh!! Can't believe we'll be getting him as a ML in a costume drama alr yesssss!!

Ofc! Whispers of Fate is great as well if you love deep storytelling. I'd say it's mostly consistent imo. To me it's a very underrated drama. It's pretty sngsty but has light moments as well. Have you also tried The Untamed? It's widely loved, and you might be one who will end up loving it too. I also loved The Spirealm. It was NEARLY perfect imo except for this one thing (won't spoil ofc).

I do have to admit there are quite some flaws in Fangs of Fortune but the raw emotions and the mystical vibe and storytelling made me fall in love with the drama. The relationship btw the MLs is the most beautiful thing ever in it.

Yessss! Tbh I watched The Vendetta of An on Netflix but I found a scene with the lyrics and it makes the scene even more emotional (won't spoil which scene ofc)! Still loved that drama nonetheless!

Yessss omg I still frequently listen to the OSTs and it just brings me back to when I watched it (legit purposely took around a month to finish the entire thing including the movie) bc I didn't wanna let go of it sksksksks and actually I had it on my watchlist for years and only watched it this year which I regret sm lol!

Yeah def gonna be watching express as well! I only honestly get iQIYI for a subscription bc of the 4K quality and watch other dramas not on there elsewhere.

Tbh I don't watch on the iQIYI app actually, just like to go back to film some scenes I like and came across this one haha~ But yk it's iQIYI so they'll prob always put subs for lyrics so yeah. Better than b4 so I don't mind.

Tbh I feel you 😭😭 It's rare for me to rate dramas a 9.0+ these days, which are ratings I consider dramas I really really love. If it gets disappointing rating can drop down depending on how I feel about it, despite me still loving the drama.

Some dramas that I felt continued to get better and better include The Blossoming Love and Fangs of Fortune. The best written drama for me overall I think is Someday or One Day, and for me it's rarer to rate a modern drama as high as 10, with this actually being the only one.

I don't really drop dramas tho. I end up enjoying my dramas for the most part but some parts can feel a bit messy or confusing.

Lol I wouldn't cheer for the subtitles to cover their faces and half the screen sksksksks at the very top of the screen during the dialogues is what I meant, like this:

Who else cheered when they finally started putting the lyric subtitles on the top during dialogues on iQIYI? So much better!! 🙌

I started this and it's pretty fun! Liking the dynamic of some of the characters!

Oooh did you try A Dream within a Dream? I know it's not everyone's type, but if you love comedy, depending on the kind you like, you may laugh out loud a lot throughout the drama. Personally for me, it's prob the funniest drama I've watched. Anyways, the GSY actor is in it and he's such a fun character! I've watched him in 3 dramas so far and his character there is my absolute favorite!

Oh where and how did get that info tho, and can it be trusted as accurate? Filming tho did last from late July 2021 to early January 2022 which is a pretty long period so I'm hoping they got to finish the filming of the novel's story.

Yep. I rmr Always Home / The First Frost and The Best Thing were also airing around similar periods 😭

I would not rate a drama a 10 if I felt this way (sorry I suddenly looked at ur pfp to see this). I do agree tho that it's getting worse but despite the flaws I am still enjoying the drama. It was a 9.0 for me but will prob go down to 8.5 in the end tbh with the writing drop lol. It's still a great drama overall tho!

See... You mention LLTG, and the fact that it's the same writer oof. How come the screenwriter did it worse in this drama? Does the production team not notice how their drama falls apart at the end? Like seriously. And this could've actually had more than 40 eps since the 40 ep limit was already lifted when this drama got its license, so it was possible, but no, they decided to follow the same formatting that's been used for a few years now. It sucks big time. They could've really utilized more episodes to flesh everything out and make the storyline better.
