aha..yes i've been there. ahahah 'hold the script like holy text' is definitely suits her behaviour hahaha i really…
Based on some characteristics she actually might have been. She's the more logical and less impulsive of the two sisters. But she's also very idealistic and romantic, so I don't think she would have fallen for him.
Yes..it got annoying at that time,like girl look at other options too...forge the weapon, or get out of the city…
Based on her original intention of just enjoying the "noble lady life" a bit longer, she doesn't even need to avoid any of the plot in the script. Just let it unfold, play her part and not get affected and once it's over, return to her world. That way she can still enjoy the noble lady life for a bit longer. I do understand that once in the script world, the people around her are real people and she can't help getting involved, but in that case she should give everyone the same treatment. Not single one person out and blame everything on him. It's understandable in the beginning, but it went on for too long.

I know what you mean. She gives everyone else around her the benefit of the doubt and doesn't fling the script in their faces as some kind of proof. Only Nan Heng is the exception. She blames everything on him without actually checking the facts.
What evil has Nan Heng done? None — and that is no accident. The script shields him from all sin. Every ruthless…
That's an interesting perspective.
The original script has Nan Heng as the villain, but once she enters the script world, things changed.
Nan Heng emerges as the misunderstood hero and his rival turns more and more evil as the story progresses. Maybe that's the whole point. As you mentioned he's Nan Heng's shadow. The more Nan Heng changes into a good guy, the more Chu Gui Hong turns evil.
I'm on episode 23 now and 4 of the supposed "iconic scenes" have happened now and none happened the same way they did in the original script. Why is she fixating on them so much? So much has clearly changed. Most of the characters are not like they were in the original script. I just don't understand why she still holds the original script as some kind of holy text that will happen as she read it, while everything around her is clearly telling her it's different. She needs to catch up and realize this soon.
"If there's no evidence, then we'll fabricate it."
Saying things like that and still pretending to be the good guys.
Chu Gui Hong and his army are becoming more and more unlikable with each episode.
Also, what are the actual bad/evil things that they accuse Nan Heng of doing? They keep shouting about the late Empress, but he was literally a child back then. They say he kills innocent people, but there's no proof of that. It's just ridiculous prejudice supported by that horrible Emperor.
Song Yi Ting treating"Li Shi Liu" the same way Nan Rui was treating her and not even realizing it is actually a little sad. She pretends to be all intelligent and elegant, but in the end she's just a sheltered noble lady. Painting 73 paintings of her crush in 3 days is ... something.
Nan Rui is definitely not Emperor material. The poor thing gets yanked back and forth by everyone around him, he's not particularly intelligent, strong or brave. He's also not cruel and vicious like his father seems to be. Just a regular innocent, easygoing guy that should be left alone to live his life. I hope nothing bad happens to him and I also hope he doesn't turn into a junior version of his father.
That's probably why it's so funny 🤣 All the male leads from dramas I watched just flashed through my mind when he said it. Then I laughed even more when it actually worked on her too.
"There's no woman that won't fall for a man who's handsome, strong, yet miserable. If there is, it just means he's not handsome enough, not strong enough, or hasn't suffered enough." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was really looking forward to watching this drama and overall I ended up enjoying it.
I will have to admit that while there were many things about this drama that I liked, there were also a few things I didn't.
One of the bigger things that I found lacking was the world building. The reason for that is because it's the foundation on which the story is built and if it's lacking or incomplete, it can easily ruin the whole story. In this drama what bothered me most was the lack of detail in explaining the immortal world. For example, by the end of the drama the whole world is in peril, but no other immortals even appear to help. The Heavenly Emissary constantly harps on the importance of the Infinite Stele, but no one lifts a finger to help protect it. But hey, they are always ready with their punishments. The only other immortals we get to see are the Four Venerables, but they are useless and a complete waste of screen time. Why were they even included? The problem I have with this is that we're never really given an explanation on the structure of the immortal world, it's rules, the hierarchy, ...
Another big problem I had was that I couldn't warm up to a lot of the supporting characters. They just didn't get enough screen time to develop into much more than caricatures. Admittedly, I also never warmed up to Zhang Suan, who did get enough screen time, but remained bland throughout the drama.
If there were a few more episodes these things might have been executed better.
That being said, the saving grace of this drama for me was the main couple. The two main leads had great chemistry and portrayed the characters convincingly. The thing I liked about them the most though was their dynamic. The two are perfect opposites right from their birth. And from the beginning to almost the end we are shown just how different they really are from superficial things to core values. When together they both clash and stubbornly try to prove that they are right. The most beautiful thing is that they are both not wrong. They just see the world from a different perspective. They both value different things and they are both right. Eventually, we are also shown the things they have in common and they both learn to see things from the other's perspective and find a balance, because right from the beginning while they may be perfect opposites, they are also a perfect pair once they find that balance. They are stronger together. That part of the story is executed beautifully.
In relation to the development of the two main characters, I liked the moral and philosophical themes that were explored.
Another thing that I liked was how visually beautiful this drama is. Everything looked stunning.
I think the best way to understand this, is that her power is lock away somewhere in her body so she cant access…
That makes more sense thanks. So, assuming that he needed spiritual energy for the development of all aspects of an immortal body and he didn't get it, he's very underdeveloped to the point of being weaker than even a mortal child. If he had made it past 10 years, he could have been nourished in the Nine Heavens and would have developed a divine body eventually.
I think the best way to understand this, is that her power is lock away somewhere in her body so she cant access…
I understand that she doesn't have access to her power, but it still makes no sense that their child is a regular mortal. Supposedly they are completely different species. So following your explanation that would mean that if a human baby didn't have access to the right nutrition it would be born a monkey. That's what basically happened to Shi An. A fish out of the water is still a fish.
The point I'm trying to make is that he should have had a devine body as well. A weaker one than his parents or other immortal babies, but not at all as weak as a mortal human child, because he's not a mortal child.
Anyway, it is what it is, whether it makes sense or not. I suppose it doesn't take away the impact on the story.
I finally made it to episode 23 and got to see what happened to their son. While fittingly sad (my heart broke for HRY and SA), I still think that it doesn't make sense that just because he didn't get to absorb spiritual energy before birth he was born a regular mortal. He's the son of two powerful devine beings. Even with her power sealed, she still had a devine body. Also, even though her power was sealed it was there, she just couldn't access it. It just doesn't make sense. Poor SA...
I also hope they show why BJS wasn't even keeping an eye on her just in case. Hopefully, he was being punished himself and didn't have the opportunity.

All in all, I enjoyed this rollercoaster journey.
I suppose based on this drama only, that makes sense.
