asphyxia

i think that's the message of the drama; eternals and demons are endlessly at odds and hardly trust each other, basically an internal bias. for the sake of their decade long friendship they naturally struggle to truly cut each other off. maybe you're referring to a specific scene, but i dont think she encourages chong zhao to pursue her in any means. her displays of concern/friendly warnings demonstrate that she trusts his character

bailu said HE in interview

more is revealed later on, gist is bai shuo is doubted by all bc eternal sects are often sworn to secrecy about their specific actions

these awards are typically based on popularity, the distinctions are very slight

there would be too many fanwars if not all the popular actors were appreciated 🫠🤣

ik that the yi city emperor is supposed to be depicted as a villain, but in the end he's also a puppet-like victim. he totally deserved to crashout when he was still being mocked at the banquet he hosted 🫠

i think that'sintentional, at least for the first few arcs, otherwise there's less of an impact for redemption if she's only a tad bit evil

mdl ratings are always a bit goofy, a 8.5 show can be worse than an 8.0 show sometimes. never hurts to try a few eps to know how you feel, most of the comments are positive. i find it interesting, but some people dislike the character dynamics, so it depends on your taste 🫠

yea unfortunately a lot of spoilers are given by role names on mdl 🫠

im a terrible editor, but i can tell you that most of the relations are quite straightforward and already revealed in plot (familial or friend or foe or love). there are a few "new/interesting" ones, typically in the top right box: between jingyuan (ARP) and xingyue (BL) it says "fate does not allow", xingyue and moli (CHS) are strong rivals
it also says bai shuo and fan yue have mutual emotions, bai shou and fu ling have an "unpredictable/mystical" relationship. lmk if you need more!

yea ive started sleeping at 4am 🫠

unless you specify the type of "controversy", i dont think anyone has any idea

the door kept opening at the worst times in episode 11 🤣

love their duet sonnggggg

im looking forward to the intricate rose colored dress, i remember reuteres were stunningggg

yes

im watching both at the same time and just realized 👁️

i think there's a stark contrast between fanyue and chenyu for this reason. they both are powerful and seemingly ruthless demon kings, but we've been able to see fanyue develop compassion for baishuo, unlike chenyu who treats his underlings like crap even if they've done so much for him. it's probably the shows way of conveying that there are good and bad eternals as well as good and bad demons. no one is born inherently evil or good because of their affiliation

i prefer this over dramas that try to recruit 20+ people to act out these immortal/demon groups even if some of them cant act, but the cold spring palace does look very empty with 3 people 👁️

i would say go ahead, ive watched ALP and TLI and MM while treating them as separate stories. they work fine standalone
