asphyxia

you can "infer" from his dialogue and eye contact that he sees someone else in her. that someone else would be his past lover (hua ru yue), who looks exactly like her. more is revealed with the incoming episodes, but gradually we see how he can't let go of the past, thus he desires to find out Li Qing Yue's true identity/history.

I've enjoyed it, would say it's romance but more on the melodramatic side (several timelines, love and hate), complex love line is between FL and ML

i think fan ling er / zhang suan will become a second couple later on based on the relationship chart

same vibes as in the genres? (rich guy poor girl, sickness, motherhood, FL changes ML, 2000s classic drama style) or as in the melodramatic quality? I feel like the plot was quite complex but was only completed with the stellar acting. Ik other dramas with similar components but they may not have delivered as well as this one

I think she has genuinely forgotten her past pains but still feels lingering emotions which confuse her (connection with snake, power of siling's flame). Nonetheless, like how Bai Jiusi is continuously pondering whether she's "A yue" or not, the audience is split on the same topic. That's a sign of a complex script and great acting from both leads🙂‍↕️

in the relationship chart, they are labelled with a shared "lover's fate", so i'm sure that plot comes later

the trailers are killing me, need to pet my heart a bit and prepare it for destruction 😭 😭

will prepare tissues tonight while hoping for 9500 breakthrough on the heat index, and perhaps there will be the typical zhang suan jealousy moment with the weird heartbreak sound effect in the background 😂

sorry i got lazy with the abbreviations, yea it's legend of zang hai and zhe yao (prisoner of beauty, used to using chinese acronyms 😅)

about the whole mdl rating situation, it's inevitable because no public drama site with ratings can truly prevent against the bias of fans and haters. many great 10/10 dramas this year truly left an impression on me but still ended up with subpar ratings. personal enjoyment & show success in mainland china is not affected by these numbers, so I would encourage all watchers to rate only after watching and ignore the weird fluctuations 🫶 happy watching !!

ep10 is the mark of the angsty arc oh lord 😖lqy and bjs sweet moments come to an end

I still here the LQY va imo, but not sure

can't skip intro or outro bc having their original voices sing adds to the atmosphere eee

in ep 7 when LQY told BJS to decide ling er's punishment, she was basically telling him to man up and take responsibility for the love entanglements 😂

it's out eee!! have a fun watch, 3am for me unfortunately

this happened to me with like LZH and ZY, had to try for myself to enjoy it !

less than a minute eeee

bc it's three lives, a lot of the side cast will come and go, & also yes it's hinted that baijiusi had a love-hate relationship with huaruyue, and since liqingyue looks the same his brain is all over the place 😅

OMGOMGOMGOMG ims o glad bc I would hate to recommend a show then make someone sick of it 😭 glad you enjoyed, currently rewatching bc I like pain
