Qi Min is completely beyond redemption at this point, but I still can’t help feeling excited whenever he appears on screen, wondering what lunatic, crazy, unpredictable thing he’ll do next. There must be something wrong with me 😳 Deng Kai’s performance is superb! Kong Xue Er and the child actor Wu Jia Jun are great as well. Deng Kai and Kong Xue Er look really good together. I hope they can reunite in another historical drama.
I didn’t know that scraping (gua sha) apparently comes from China. It’s very popular in my country too. I personally can’t stand it and have only tried it once in my life, but my parents and my sister love it and often do it when they feel unwell. I remember we even had some old Chinese coins with a hole in the middle, just like in the drama. They would apply cajuput oil to the skin before scraping. I can’t believe they managed to make a scene like this somewhat romantic 😊
In this video, he captures QQ and Bao Er, and when QQ refuses to comply, he threatens QQ by hurting her servants,…
I saw one of the comment, QM used the back of the knife (the unsharpened part). Did he do it just to threaten QQ or is it an editing issue in the drama? Does the same thing happen in the novel?
I can feel the old wuxia vibe throughout this drama. Rival sects, tragedies, betrayal, blood feuds, revenge, loyalty and duty, star crossed lovers. We get a calm, cunning, kinda obsessed ML paired with a smart, righteous FL who wears her heart on her sleeve. Her light to his dark. I really like their chemistry and their pairing is visually stunning! 😍 In addition, Cai Pingshu and Mu Zhengyang’s story was really well told. What great casting for both. Throughout the story, it is steadily revealed who were the villains and the victims of the previous generations. About three-quarters of the way through, everyone could almost guess who the “man in black” was, but I didn’t expect he had accomplices. I’m especially satisfied with how everything wrapped up in episode 37 for the future generation especially Yu Zhi, such a strong character. The OST deserves a special mention as well, 清风醉 & 应如是 kept playing in my head throughout my time watching the drama. The drama might not be perfect, but it’s a good wuxia drama to me and I genuinely enjoyed the journey. Kudos to the production team and all the cast. Thank you for the past 2.5 weeks! 🩷🩷🩷
Reading all these comments, I’m hoping the drama gives Qi Min a good ending. I know it’s probably wishful thinking but he’s such an eye candy, right up there with Xie Zheng! The aura, the hair, the stare, and that giant red flag written all over him 🖤
I feel like the last part of the lyrics from one of my favorite OSTs (应如是) from this drama perfectly captures the separation arc. Can’t wait for Ep. 31 today! Lyrics credit: Peachey Blossom (thanks for always providing us with the drama’s OSTs!)
零落花如许 相思道不尽 心事付瑶琴 又一年光景 物是人已非 弦断有谁听 漫天星是你身影
Scattered flowers like this, longing cannot be fully expressed Entrusting my secrets to the jade zither, another year passes by The things remain, but the people have changed; who will hear the broken strings? A sky full of stars is your silhouette
7 episodes left and it’s still incredibly intriguing and exciting! I can feel all the angst, disappointment, anger, and longing. The chemistry between our Zhao Zhao Mu Mu couple is insane ❤️ I really hope those wretched elders get the karma they deserve.
What is happening with MDL? I submitted Zhao Yang Gong Zhu page on February 10 and it is still pending until now. Another drama page I submitted in mid January is also still pending.
Ep 22: MQY and CZ's dating era in Jiang Hu ❤️. Ah, my heart! I really hope the ending turns out like this. Them roaming the Jiang Hu together just like they always wanted.
Every question and explanation needed has already been covered in this comment section. I just want to add how nicely wrapped this drama’s ending is. It comes full circle. I especially like the last episode’s ending credits with the photos, song, and lyrics. Such a good quality production, storyline, and strong cast! 💙
Perfection from beginning to end! Very well scripted and directed, with great acting not only from the main leads (Cheng Lei perfectly delivered as always. This is only my second drama of Wang Chu Ran and I already can’t wait for her next drama) but from the supporting actors and actresses as well. No draggy scenes at all, just a very refreshing and exciting story. Not even once was there a boring moment. This drama kept me impatiently waiting for the next episode every single day.
It is that good that even each death scene, even when it was a character we only knew for a short time really moved me, sometimes even bringing me to tears. I was afraid this drama would be too comedic, which is not really my preference, but the comedy gradually lessened and was still cleverly blended into the storyline.
Last but not least, that wedding dress is so beautiful, absolute perfection 😍! Also, shoutout to my two favorite OSTs: Light Snow, Dark Ink (淡雪浓墨) and Wings Forged in Glory (淬羽风华). Every time they played I knew it was going to be a guaranteed great scene.
Ok, so it was a successful short 3 mins drama in 2025, now it is being repackaged into a longer drama with more…
Actually,this drama was filmed earlier than the vertical drama (2–3 minutes per ep). It took four months to complete filming from December 2024 to April 2025. The vertical drama was filmed for 2 weeks in May 2025 and aired in late June 2025.
Throw away the logic, sit back, and enjoy the ride, with many arcs and tropes thrown in and mixed together in Affinity! This is very creative. I was hooked from the beginning and simply can’t wait for the next day for new episodes. The kisses were hot, but the hugs were my favorites. OMG, every time felt so deep, comforting, and envious, I must say 😍 Hope Fang Jin and Cui Yu Xin can reunite in another drama ❤️
Deng Kai’s performance is superb! Kong Xue Er and the child actor Wu Jia Jun are great as well. Deng Kai and Kong Xue Er look really good together. I hope they can reunite in another historical drama.
