Atp Fang Zhou should be up in the support roles. He gets more screentime than a lot of the support characters listed lol. Plus, he's a very important character, very much loved and unforgettable to the viewers as well :D

Okay but is it just me who really wants to see Zhumei... Like I already had no hope for his appearance, but when you think about him only disappearing (not dying), you'd want more of him as he's one of those Zhou Dilou disciples... I will be sad if he never gets shown after he went missing and they put no closure to his character even tho I alr had no hope to begin with bc like what... he's gone just like that? 😭

You're right. I wished they added more eps bc I mean, maybe it was possible since the 40 ep policy is no more :( Either that or they could've given us 50-60 min hr long eps like TTEOTM! I am lowkey sad they didn't decide to add even more eps bc even I am worried they might have to rush things, but here's to hoping it fully delivers and doesn't feel that way! 😭🙏

I am also curious what kind of ending they will give us... I've already braced myself with a SE/OE even b4 this drama aired... Can they maybe do smth different and surprise us with a HE done well pls?? Like I want that sooo bad like pls give us the HE that is deserved!! I don't want any deaths at all!

Oh, ofc as much as I want Fang Zhou's revival, I can't accept Tang Lici's death~ And I alr don't believe Fang Zhou will come back anyway since he's been long gone... like couldn't they have given them another way where both could live honestly like ughhh that is just too sad!!!! But even as Tang Lici was getting emotional at the thought of reviving Fang Zhou bc that means he will be no more but that at least FZ gets a chance to live, it made me sad even tho I'm sure A'Li won't be able to succeed in this. (Sorry, this might have been a random addition to what we're discussing but here I am...)

Dang really? They say this when he has done so many bad things? Well, for Liu Yan, I hope to see him get a redemption arc if possible even if he has to die (don't spoil if he does if you alr know pls, but I won't be surprised if he gets a BE due to this). I would say I am enjoying watching him for sure tho he can be annoying for never believing in Tang Lici oof!

(I'm only on ep 30 so hoping to get no spoilers from this and up) As for Chunji, do they not even think about what she's gone thru, like seriously? Also, we don't exactly know about the truth behind Chunji rn. It's just speculation. Well, at least about the princess part, I don't think they explicitly revealed the truth behind if she's faking it or not (thanks to the help of someone, I'm now wondering if she's fake or not, and I so hope she's not). Anyways, can we stop with the (which feels like to me for many ppl out there) misogny...

And you're right. This drama is really interesting seeing all these different relationships and characters where we actually get to see some backstory to them so we can get some understanding of them.

Yeah, you're right. I also would question how he would know the tattoo unless someone close to him actually is secretly from the palace or whatever or Gui Mudan just has methods that can get him to figure these things out lol. And about her secret, whatever it is, I am curious to hear about it since them not telling us about her secret does seem like smth big (but we'll see how that goes). And ofc, will def keep watching. I just love making theories at times as I watch lol.

Hey, thanks for sharing! It makes me view this in a new light!

[DON'T SPOIL TO ME IF THEY ALREADY REVEALED IT, I'M ONLY ON EP 29]
So... what if the actual princess is Xi Fangtao? 👀 Okay, now that'd be crazy. Well, we finally got to hear Puzhu's secret bc of her, but it seems like she shared hers too but it was never known to us... Well, let's see... Oh, and they may have deliberately showed us her wrist that one time when she put it up to show her bead bracelet to Puzhu, and there was a tattoo on it (ofc, it's her flower one or whatever) which, I am curious, if it means anything lol maybe not but yeah...

Just want to share that my father also loves watching C-dramas and I recommended him this one! Guess what... It was a few days ago and now he's on ep 26! 😍🫣🔥

Finished ep 27. DON'T SPOIL FURTHER FROM THERE!
So I can't be happy seeing Chunji as the princess. Bc she truly isn't if I didn't interpret a scene wrong. I can't fully blame her, but at the same time, this just doesn't seem like her despite what she went thru in the past.

There was a scene where Liu Yan said he would give her a gift and he gave someone a needle which he said she is given a gift, prob to make the butterfly tattoo. They didn't show it maybe bc they wanted it to be hidden and revealed later. I think it's a part that is easy to miss so...

Anyways, assuming Chunji is going with Liu Yan's method (and sadly being manipulated by him), I still didn't expect her to go to such lengths so that she can be happy unlike the past she has lived where she was bullied by others and abandoned by her parents. And becoming the princess is the easiest way for it. While everyone is happy, little do they know this is all fake. And didn't they say impersonating the princess is a huge capital crime or smth? So when I see Chunji as the princess now, I'm like, "Oh, good luck, girl..." I do feel nervous what will come once the truth comes to light.

I just hope Chunji doesn't become evil in the end and comes back to her own principles and be true to herself. Maybe she is scared... Maybe seeing them got her afraid... But it doesn't remove the fact that she is allowing these big big no no things to happen for her own happiness (is it even true happiness?). So yeah, I only hope she stays true to herself and not go down the dark path...

So this is a theory. We will find out if this is true or not. It does fit well with the narrative tho!

And I am curious too about their identities. I still feel like there is some hidden identity about her and Fang Zhou even. I am so curious omg. Could they be immortals in some way, or a god (half if Dad is just normal human which I haven't gotten to yet)? I know, it's a wild guess lol.

Only finished ep 27, so I don't wanna get spoilers beyond it please. (I am also avoiding comments like a plague bc of this huhu)

Except, I already did spoil myself for what was revealed about A'Shei like a cp days back so I will discuss that.

Theory that A'Shei can save Tang Lici with her blood is due to her being actually Fang Zhou's sister. Since they are blood-related, and Tang Lici has Fang Zhou's heart crystal in him, this is prob why he can be saved by her. Talk about fate wow! Anyways I can't wait to see all their reactions when they find out about her being Fang Zhou's sister 🥺😭

I noticed he still gets good screentime by ep 20 (now on ep 21). I'm not looking forward to when he gets like none almost tho oof... But anyways, I am loving the second half so far than expected by many negative comments with the introduction of new side characters that I'm actually loving. But yeah. I hate how they introduced us to a psycho brother when we didn't have that in the first half 😭

Ikr? I am really shocked still... This is like a new and prob better (less stressful) life for them now hehe~ Also dang where'd you get that from? I will say tho that this happens so often in bromance dramas like okay that's gonna be fun to see 😂

Hehe... And to think we get to see Tang Lici and Liu Yan again as the two main roles this time is so crazy!! And a much healthier relationship most likely at that 🫣

Can't believe we got Tang Lici, Liu Yan, Fang Zhou, and Gui Mudan reunion in Shadow Punisher... looking forward to it even more after watching this hehe

We got Tang Lici, Liu Yan, Fang Zhou, and Gui Mudan reunion... looking forward to this even more!

Ooooh yep okay that scene I found cringy and very unrealistic skfjdskjfs I honestly really questioned why they gave him all their powers when they just met him like... they just believed him like that? Not to mention I still feel like some of them could've survived if they hadn't just talked lmao... But you're telling me this happens often in dramas? Dang alright that's weird...

But do you find the drama cringy as a whole? That's how it sounded like to me initially.

Omg wait... I didn't realize he's also in this! When he appeared as Zhang Qi, I was like, "Woah, we got these two again?" and now we get a third one? Wow, I am excited to see them again!

Did you forget that's what it's called? They're all the flashbacks, Tang Lici's past with Fang Zhou and his disciples, including him 😅 In short, it's Zhoudi Tower

Unless you're still in the beginning, Fushanhai isn't a cringy drama at all imo. It gets serious fast, maybe by ep 8 or earlier. Maybe some won't agree, but to me, it's actually a great drama, compared to the low rating here.
