asphyxia

hints are spread out through the show pretty early on, connecting the dots is interesting and doesnt require a long wait

YES my expectations have been raised, like when i first finished go ahead i was so depressed from the family themes i couldnt move onto other dramas for a while, the cycle repeats 💀

when it was 8.9 it was ranked #98 and now it's dropped to #125 which is like a huge difference :(

the baishuo character poster has the quote: “Even though I, Bai Shuo, am just an ant, dying in your hands is not my fate.” im curious if i can find a more detailed synopsis somewhere so this quote makes more sense lol

i actually really liked it and rated it 9.0 but i understand the rating kinda even if it hurts. i havent really read the original novel but heard that this drama ruined the masterpiece because it dragged out the plot. i guess my standards are low maybe cause i just was grateful for many scenes. i think the plot is great and the acting is fine but most dropped bc they found pacing slow

i pray i stay awake during the SAT so i do well and for the rating of this show to rise, two wishes combined for efficiency

sijfiasfjasfkas nooooooooo

ill probably linger here for a year or two until chasing the moon comes out, it feels impossible to move on from this ;w;wlwpoihu9aiojwmf

literally, although they originate as memes they become outlets of hate against actors. you'll often see trending hashtags about an actor's "ugly scene" screenshotted and reposted but it always results in hate

ive rewatched this sm times and i can remember the pain of waiting for episodes cause of cliffhangers. many dramas are considered to have ruined potential because a cheesy script may waste an actor's talents. in this case, the phenomenal acting by BL and RJL literally brought such a masterpiece to earth. no hate to other actors, but they fit and portrayed the roles so well i cant imagine anyone else more fitting.

the watermark says 宁安如梦 aka the chinese title of the drama, along with the tinting it helps viewers differentiate past from present

he doesn't have an actor profile on here, not even listed for his role as xiaowu in longballad so ill try. he'd be support because his appearances were not limited to one arc

YESYESYES during class i just have the ost on loop on spotify, every time a song plays i reminisce certain scenes. it's such an obsession i genuinely can't get over it

i pray i will ace this week's exams and my future finals, may the luck of this show rub off on me and allow me to not fail my classes 🙇‍♀️

silent repost, it's cool when fans come up with pairings but sometimes im afraid to say that i cant see it working out as a good cp

when the FL-ML interactions come it’s insane (in a good or bad way depending on preference). “too sweet with the wrong person” is just jiangxuening being close to who she likes? even if it’s infatuation from the past it’s not “wrong” lol

youtube has it with subs but i used a website that didn’t have subs

Xiewei

totally agree, i think ZZ was quite important in the plot. most watchers stand with XW because he's the ML, and we understand his past --- his reasons for scheming in the court to take down duke xue. but what if he was actually loyal to lord pingnan or just a shady figure? ZZ acted as a righteous official would and chose not to immediately trust someone because of their status. this is dramatic irony since the audience knows XW's attention but ZZ doesn't, so obviously he will hold his guard up.

out of all the future dramas rumored for bailu i hope this one gets pciked up after chasign the moon
