I really adored the twin brothers. I'm sad they didn't get a lot of screentime, but when they did, I couldn't help but be happy! Maybe this is bc I'm an identical twin myself. Oh, I want to tell Liu Ruogu how well he did portraying twins. It was amazing. What made me cry so much was that Qianli sacrificed himself for Yixie. I was super sad that I was bawling my eyes out! I couldn't with this! I was hoping so bad that the twins would survive together till the end. :( Their last moments made me cry so much. As an identical twin, I just can't even begin to imagine how sad it was for them, especially for Yixie who lost his younger twin brother who he always wanted to protect but now has to live on without him. It must be devastating! So I'm sad we didn't see Yixie entering the 11th door... bc he could've reunited with Qianli... I heard in the book he does reunite with him and chooses to stay with him, which... wow... at least the reunion should've been in the drama 😭

I finished this recently and I'm still not over it... Everything about this drama (except the ending) was soooo good!! I miss it so much. Even when I'm currently watching another drama, I can't stop thinking about this one. It really left a huge impact on me. I really love the plot and story, the friendship, and the bromance between the leads.
All the doors were really fun to watch too. I love how they all have back stories, making me more drawn to the drama! My favorites I think are Sako, Box Demon, and 11th door (so many beautiful & heartwarming things happened in this one that is so unforgettable)! 12th door was the saddest. I couldn't with it.
I am still sad about the ending. I wished they went a different route, but I'd like to just remember the rest of the drama and ignore that ^_^ And the plot twists... They were really good. I didn't like one particular one tho... I found it really sad! Anyways, I definitely will have to read the novel as I read about the ending being happy (thank goodness)!
I really want to applaud all the actors! They did so well with their roles! Can I especially praise Xia Zhiguang and Liu Ruogu? I've become a fan of Xia Zhiguang since Dashing Youth and I already fell in love with him there that I had to look into more of his dramas and await his future ones too. Oh, he did not disappoint here! I've been wanting to watch this one a year ago but I went into late (regretful but better late than never xD). I love how he portrayed his character here. I can tell he put so much thought into it~ It's not an easy one, especially when you look at his character in the novel. He is very unforgettable. Seriously one of my favorite characters now.
For Liu Ruogu, how did he play two different characters sooo well? I am still in shock that Qianli and Yixie are played by him. They look like two different people. He played twin brothers incredibly amazingly. I am still in awe. Got into this drama not knowing there were twins, so when the older twin Yixie made his first appearance, I didn't even recognize he was a twin when I saw Qianli b4 this and realized he was only when he mentioned it to Jiushi lol. Applaud to the actor.

I hope to see him in more roles (esp main roles), bc wow... First saw him in Dashing Youth and most recently The Spirealm and I can't get over him. He's such an amazing actor that he's become one of my favorites just by the first drama alone. Even in both DY and TS, his characters are my favorite... Seriously. Love him in both. Oh, and add Blossom too. Anyways, for now, I look forward to seeing him in Veil of Shadows the most. It says he's a guest role, but is he really? He's filming throughout all months of filming, so I feel he's more of a support role atp. He's also so beautiful in that drama and honestly his best styling yet, so omg... I can't wait to see him there! Also, get this man in more bromance dramas, bc woah... He does so well in them!

As an identical twin, I really adore the twin brothers he played in The Spirealm. I am sad they didn't get a lot of screen time until the end, but it was really refreshing to see whenever the twins appeared and whenever they interacted too. Made me so happy. I really look forward to seeing his future roles! Such an incredible actor and he's only 18~ Mind you he was only 16 when he filmed The Spirealm as twins which is crazy considering how he played twin brothers that are completely different and very easy to tell just by looking at them, so really applaud to him! I still honestly can't believe they are not two people!

It's shocking to me bc I literally have been planning to watch Princess Agents next possibly tmr (finally after I've been wanting to) and then I see this drama to be related to Princess Agents. I'm so excited to watch that, and I'm really excited for this one which looks super promising with the trailer they released omg I can't wait!!

That's super cool omg didn't know that! I really look forward to it! Excited to see how they portray their characters!!

Do you know if they'll have a lot of screentime together? That'll be interesting to see especially after watching them in FoF.

I am looking forward to this one a lot! Hope it turns out well! Also as a huge fan of FoF I'm really excited for Neo Hou and Cheng Xiao's reunion! It seems like Cheng Xiao is a big role which makes this even more exciting omg!!

Hey y'all I found out there's gonna be some FoF cast reunion in a new drama!!!!!!
Edit link: https://kisskh.at/772283-ming-men-shi-jia

Neo Hou is gonna be starring in 玉茗茶骨 / Yu Ming Cha Gu, as the ML! And who is the FL? Guli Nazha, who plays the lover of Chenghuang lol. And guess what? Cheng Xiao will also be starring in it! On top of that, the staff were choosing between different actors to be a couple with her. Guess who they include? Lai Weiming and Yanan! And out of all of them (at least 4 names were mentioned), Cheng Xiao recommended Lai Weiming to be the best couple! Honestly, either of them, I'll be like YES!! I'd really live to see this FoF reunion!

Wow thank you for saying this omg I'm happy we finally get to listen to more BGM in HD and even Lin Ziye's version aahhh! And it's finally on Spotify too (to whoever uses it)! I'm so happy aahhh 😭

Man, the way I had a feeling that Jiang Shuo was actually Liuzhi in the beginning just because all his memories were gone. But man, everything that was happening sometimes made me confused and think maybe he isn't just bc they showed Liuzhi as a separate being. I mean, wow... The ending really made it all make sense wthhh and it was such a twist I still can't... Like it was an experiment all along? Liuzhi was his other personality (dark and evil)? And only Qin Yiheng and Jiang Shuo were the real ones? I CAN'T! This is insane!! And my bet is it's Liuzhi that wakes up in Jiang Shuo's body in the end in the real world, not Jiang Shuo. I mean, his face when he woke up? He legit just looks like Liuzhi... Plus, right before this, Liuzhi literally said he wants to lock Jiang Shuo in his subconsciousness forever, so... Wow, okay.... That makes me so curious to see how Neo Hou would play Liu Zhi and how Yiheng would try his best to save Jiang Shuo ughhh I would've loved to see what would happen!!! :( I don't want to believe that it's a sad ending where Jiang Shuo really gets locked up in there forever bc Qin'er tried his best to get him to make the right decision and be more rational... :/ It really is like giving himself up honestly :(

My goodness, I just finished this drama! The last episode was crazy omg I was NOT expecting that at all and I even read a ton of the comments here saying a shocking plot twist! I did have suspicions of who the culprit was but omg I didn't know it would be like this wtfrick! I am so mindblown! I can't believe we don't even get a season 2... I really want it so bad :( I'm so curious what would actually happen next after we saw the very last scene omg stooop! I wanna give my thoughts out more so I'll put it in the spoiler tag (since I'll be talking more about the spoilers).

I've been so eager for this drama to come out. I'm so excited. Have been anticipating this one a lot. I really can't wait to see Tan Songyun and Neo Hou together. I hope it can air soon!

I can't be remembering wrong that Neo only had even less than 20K flowers a few months ago, right? Like omg, seeing him reach 100K super soon makes me so proud and happy for him!! 🥹😭💙

Edit: He reached it omg let's go! 🤗🤍

True. I feel like it was such a fun ride rewatching to also notice things we've missed! Lol there's not a single drama I've watched three times ngl (and it's been 5 years since I started watching them dang)... But I'm def rewatching TU for a third time this October (plan to do it every October tbh hehe) bc I really love it! FoF is another drama I'm super in love with so it's one Imma rewatch again maybe on October as well or December this year (I already watched it twice and it only aired 4 months ago sfjdksjfs). For Fof, oh boy... There are way too many new things I noticed on my rewatch and it was SO MUCH FUN I can't! Also lmaooo there's me who always watches when I eat a meal XD

Yes I think it's bc of how such a big hit it really is and also it's on Netflix as well. I've been even wanting to watch it mamy years b4 I got into these costume dramas lol. I also rewatched the drama too and tbh second watch was even better. And tho I don't rewatch dramas much, I might decide to watch a drama if I really liked it in the future, this including (tho I'm the type who wants to still watch a ton of dramas I haven't gotten into yet or even when one I anticipate a lot comes out during airing, making it harder LOL).

I've seen some people say how this drama reminded them of The Untamed. I'm the same. Like the beginning for both were similar (one of the leads dying, being misunderstood by everyone), then taking us a couple episodes in the future where they come back, and then bringing us back into the past all way until the point of them dying, and then bringing us back to the future again for the rest of the drama. But yeah, seems like the drama changed its sequence, but I will remember the drama like this as this is how it initially was and I don't also normally rewatch dramas so yeah. But anyways I really quite loved how they did it like that! But I can kind of understand why they changed it as it can be confusing (like how TU confused many as well, like even for me prob bc it was one of my first C-dramas).

I'm happy to hear that! Enjoy! It'll get even better!! 🔥

Dang that's actually the first one my sister started but she almost dropped it (that it's not even the first she finished) 😭 She didn't like it but tbh I am curious to watch it in the future despite that and see what my opinion would be on it lol. And tbh I'm not that scared of these kind of endings as I'm already used to them lol ㅠㅠ If you want a HE then definitely try Love of the Divine Tree! It has one of the best happy endings ever that takes up most of the last ep! <3 (Same director as L&R too so maybe it's not a surprise!)

Hahaha yesss just like ShortCircuit said, you must check out Fangs of Fortune! The chemistry between them is crazy, I'm surprised it really passed censorship! You'll love them so much (and to add to that, there's a love triangle with another guy between them, who we call the ML's ex haha). Have fun!!
