Thank you for saying this. Like it's normal to have some problems with dramas. It's not like every single drama we enjoy has not a single problem... I mean, is there one drama where there's not a flaw or a part we dislike? Like yeah... Anyways, for this drama, I really love the chemistry btw the leads. They really have it despite not being a cp YET. Also, I will say, after watching today's first ep, it's def getting better :)

Yeah true... I think 40 eps with 45 min (or at least 45 min per ep in these 36 eps) would be nicer. But I'm still enjoying it and I feel like it's actually getting better by ep 9 so yeee~

Lol Yu Sifeng from Love and Redemption suffers so much, one of the top top I swear. Maybe the top one of what I've watched even. Some may hate the FL, but honestly, I love her so much. She is a very understandable FL for me honestly. Even in the beginning and almost throughout the drama she defends him always, but bc of how she grew up and was deceived, she kind of betrayed him in the middle but then regrets it in the end. She has a lot of growth. Also, not L&R being my first xianxia lmaooo...

Another one is Tantai Jin from Till the End of the Moon. He suffered a ton as well. Like even the FL backstabs him (understandable but it really made the watch stressful tho I still love the drama lol their relationship is so toxic tho). Well I would say Yu Sifeng is better than Tantai Jin with dealing with the suffering bc man Sifeng is so selfless like I can't! Also I literally just started rewatching L&R lmaooo

For some reason I watched this while it was airing but I wasn't like very annoyed with the FL until maybe ep 23+ but then again that feeling didn't really linger for too long? I feel like it only lasted a few eps for me idk. I have a twin sister and we watch the same dramas basically always and like the same ones too but even she felt really annoyed with the FL, even before ep 20, like idk our views are different skdjskdjs I guess it just depends on the person atp LOL... to note, we were behind so we would watch like 4 eps a day to catch up, so I guess that helped for me (but not even my sister lmao)... But idk, I also find her understandable but yes sometimes annoying still but didn't hate her? As a female myself, I really don't like viewing female characters negatively while thinking mostly positive for the guys... Like yeah... Unless they are written in a way that I can't understand them at all, then yeah, that's a different matter... For instance I HATED Shangguan Qian in MJTY! 😅😭

I am enjoying this. BUT there is smth missing for me and idk what it is. But I'm still liking it... Here's the thing:

I actually found the first episode really epic. They showed us how the FL grew up and fought alongside the ML all thru those years under her brother's name. But then the war didn't end well where the ML's father was killed and also framed, and the FL's family just don't have any love for her at all.

Now after all this, is it me who kind of wished that after the first episode, they went back to like the beginning of it all in the next episode and actually see the process of all that had happened? Idk, I am very curious about... wouldn't mind just 5-10 eps of it honestly if done really well (smth like LOTDT). (P.S. if this wasn't at all in the novel, then ignore me lol but I still think it would've been a nice addition.) But yeah, rn, I am looking forward to seeing how the two leads will come to work together and go for their revenge.

Many replying and I do like Gongjun playing Su Muyu. BUT... The potential for the actor (Cheng Hongxin) who plays Su Muyu in Dashing Youth? I'm ngl, I actually would've LOVED to have seen him here as well. He plays in both Moonlight Mystique and Coroner's Diary and he is phenomenal. He did so well in Dashing Youth as well that I was shocked when I learned him in MM was Su Muyu lol. BUT I am still looking forward to this. Gongjun may not be a favorite of mine, but I'm looking forward to his performance a lot here. I think he'll do great considering that they casted him.

I'm enjoying this too but I'm very much enjoying The Wanted Detective which seems to be very underrated instead. The ratings don't match how great it is.

Yeah I love his natural self that we see in ADWAD, so it's pretty sad he wasn't initially casted where we got to see more range in his acting as it's much easier when you're on the set with other cast members. And ofc, the AI face swap wouldn't be needed like we mentioned.

I don't really look too much into this stuff but I believe he did. He even went to jail so I think likely he won't be able to act again? Btw can you clarify what do you mean by him versus someone else?

Lol you are understandable bc yes, it's only the face that's recognizable 😅 I only found out he'd be replacing last week or smth and was shocked to find out... Was so excited as well and he's doing great! And you're welcome! Now you know who he is! 😆 But ngl, watching this does make me miss Shanhu a lot... esp after having watched him just recently 😂😂

Haha well ofc ppl are different! It's prob bc you're not familiar with the actor himself. Since I watched him recently and already knew about the face swap, I can tell there's a difference.

Ofc. If you try to compare Li Qing in ADWAD and LOTFG, you can prob see the difference. Anyways yes they did pretty good with the AI face swap bc at the same time, it also doesn't look edited if you don't know about it. It's just to me, since I watched Li Qing b4, I notice the unnatural feel, and find his face fitting better with his own body and not being edited in the drama :)

Li Mingde but he got into a scandal so they had to replace him

I like Cheng Lisu and enjoy watching him, but the more I watch, I am feeling like he doesn't feel natural enough due to the AI face swap, and I feel bad for the actor bc he was so so good in ADWAD 😭😭 If they had just casted him initially, it would've made his character feel more natural! But considering the AI swap, he did his best, and so did the editors! But yeah, he's definitely more natural in ADWAD to me, and I also didn't like that in LOTFG they dubbed him (but I get why... I mean everyone except Bai Shu seems to be dubbed) unlike there... Like look... he's such a cutie!

Like doesn't he look way better and more natural? I find him to be the cutest alongside Yunlong (the one in the dark blue) in the entire drama...

I like him but indeed he doesn't feel natural enough due to the AI face swap, and I feel bad for the actor bc he was so so good in ADWAD 😭😭 If they had just casted him initially, it would've made his character feel more natural! But considering the AI swap, he did his best! But yeah, he's way more natural in ADWAD me, and I also didn't like that in LOTFG they dubbed him unlike there... If you're curious, here's him in ADWAD:

Way better, right? I found him to be the cutest alongside Yunlong (the one in the dark blue) in the entire drama... Maybe try ADWAD, it's hella funny and you'll love his character here.

Can't believe Xia Zhiguang showed his support for the drama aahhh ofc for his two Spirealm co-stars!! 🥹😭

Yesss Netflix would be great too!! And include a variety of the international countries pleease as in USA for instance bc I live there since they often make it limited 😭

And to me, there is no other drama with a bromance (not counting those censored BLs btw) that made me actually ship them like this one did 😭

Lol 100%?? I analyzed every single interaction they had during my rewatch and boy the amount of different hidden meanings (and interpretations) Yuanzhou was frickin' giving thru his words, facial expressions, and actions was no joke... I'm betting not many even see it when I do lol! Anyways, ofc, I always liked to be in my delulu mind and believe in the "less believable" which is the bROMANCE hahaha also boy do I need more ppl talking about the bromance... if there's bromance talk, I'M TALKING TOO 🤣🤣

Ngl, I even would write out many scenes to ChatGPT and they'll sometimes actually give me the delulu answer I want to hear SFKJDSKFJS

Nahh I have my own interpretations and I would say the FL was not the only love interest he had. Just make your own interpretations. I will say that the director loves to put these BL elements in his works if that makes you feel better. Here's a comment I gave to someone before.

And I think we should respect the FL even if we may not ship him with the ML~ To make it short, Li Lun is like the one where it was not meant to be or work out due to their miscommunications, misunderstandings, different values, etc., Wen Xiao is the one where he finds peace, warmth, and calmness, sharing a mature kind of and mutual relationship, and Yichen is like that deep and passionate love that he sought for and needed where he could show other sides of him, like his vulnerability, more freely (you can think of them as yin & yang for example).
