Don't be jealous of the rating here, it's already low enough. I can see how hard this production worked even without seeing any of the BTS. It's not a piece of crap with no plot, no idea, no creativity, etc. I don't want to name things, but the truly overrated dramas are the ones where they didn't even hire any choreographer to do the action scenes, even professional camera men were not hired. Why? Cause some overrated artists be charging for ridiculous salaries, the producers couldn't even afford for Ok-ish CGI. How those overhyped dramas even got their unconvincing high ratings and good reviews, IDC, but it's either the producers covetting the budget to save for insane marketing, or the artists who greedily snatched all the budget to themselves bribed fans to like their stuff for their sakes. All I know is something boring equals snoring. Boring stuff with awesome reviews saying they enjoy boring stuff... makes no sense. It's time to appreciate TRULY hardworking producers and REAL actors. There isn't even a single episode where this is draggy and the plot froze. If this is overhyped then I don't know what I should call the "authentic" overhyped stuff. Be fair in competition! To point out flaws that are true, yes, that's fine. To lie about things that aren't true, please have some shame.

Exactly. I don’t get why some feel the need to put other viewers down. You do you. You can complain as much…
Yep, is someone don't like it, can write about it, or drop or any. But other people also have right think and talk about that drama masterpiece. Who can objectively decide how good is it? If majority people love it, it's mean it deserve it.
... I'm thinking, though, I'll just get off this bad-edit bandwagon of comments and wait it out without coming here for the rest of the eps.
I get it, they had to edit it out, lots of scenes cut, way too lopsided scenes in favour of the ML (in the most important part of his story, where the FL is basically unconscious but let's move past this), yadda-yadda-yadda.
It's not too complicated to go through the slimmed-down plot, I have no idea what a lot of people are complaining about. I for one don't need it to be faithful to the novel (I won't read it now just because of the complaints in the beginning that TTJ wasn't dark enough and that LSS gets way way more hurt - like raped and beaten and stuff, AS IF China would have ever allowed that in a drama LOL), I don't need for every little detail to be explained to me like I can't see what's going on - seriously, it's not all that damned complicated, what are people on about?!!
And let's not talk about the smooth comments from people whose lists profess they dropped the drama weeks ago and rated it 1 but still come and discuss it as if they're watching it while pretending to enjoy it.
It's getting kind of tiring with all the fuss over NOTHING, making mountains out of anthills over things nobody really cares about - seriously, are we even watching the same drama?!! The details are all there to see and understand, do we really need to be led by the nose and have ALL those nonsense details pointed at for us, what the heck! I don't want my fun to be spoiled and I don't really intend to reply to comments that will probably go the way of "it's a free site, we're free to comment" bla-bla-bla, they're absolutely right. And it's absolutely right to choose not to engage with such comments and the people writing them. This is not a democracy so free speech is not what's it all about.
Okay, this is it. Rant over.

Ep 33 was shortened by at least 30%, here’s the full sequence in the screenplay:
After Tan Tai Jin and Su Su got the devil cube thing, it was bought back to be sealed under the power of the immortals.
They wanted to re-enforce the seal so they wanted MingYe’s heart protection scale. Su Su volunteered to go back to Jing country to retrieve this.
Tan Tai Jin volunteered to go with Su Su, hence their meeting in Jing country. They both went into the royal palace to see the King. Su Su said let’s go meet your grandchildren, TTJ said I have no grandchildren. Once you went, I went right after you.
They both encountered the King in the palace, he was masked, TTJ got the sword out to ask who he is, why he is pretending to be of Tan Tai family? He unmasked and turned out to be Ye Qing Yu. They talked about the scale but YQY couldn’t give back because it’s their last resort against a very powerful demon. Su Su and TTJ decided to go and catch this demon.
Su Su (pretend to be drunken) got into the hotel and pretended to sleep to wait for the demon, the demon arrived and tried to get into her forehead. She placed a spell on the demon and captured it. It was very strong and broke the spell to ran out. She threw a string to catch it and once she jumped out, saw that she caught TTJ.
TTJ said that he was worried about her so he came back, and that he saw a black smoke rushing out of her room hence he got there. Su Su removed the string and they both walked out of the hotel to a different place.
—-Cut to real TTJ meeting a fake Li Su Su and beat her up into black smoke that flown away—-
Su Su got the fake Tan Tai Jin to a place where she started a stronger spell to capture it again. She said she knew it was fake, the fake TTJ then begged for her to save it, Su Su continued to apply more spell force.
——Real TTJ then went to find SuSu and saw her with fake TTJ——
A black smoke got into fake TTJ, turning him into the devil god, Su Su got distracted and the demon got the stronger hand. It said that it could see through her biggest fear and escaped from her spell. Real TTJ saw the whole thing.
—- This then cut to the scene in which TTJ said: so the thing you fear the most is me turning into Devil God—-
Then they went onto meet CYJW, he told them that this demon can morph into the person they love the most/ and also the one they are scared of the most. As TTJ realised that he was the person Su Su loved the most, he threw a look at Su Su, resulted in her saying : “don’t get the meaningless part”
Not going to add this in the timeline logic discussion thread, but another theory on Weibo is that the drama timeline is a Mobius strip, which is basically Tantai Jin's life. Give him love, and he could become a God. Give him pain, and he could become the Devil, which fits with the overall theme of: Devil or God is just in a moment's thought (一念神魔).
However, as the Devil's fetus, he is destined to go through the worst - we know that the Devil God in Universe A (where the world was going to end) was created because he died kneeling on the frozen lake. However, even without the evil Ye Xiwu, he could've died from Lan'an's betrayal, his step-brother, during the war, even Ye Bingchang (since she's the mortal trial of the demon Monv).
The only way to untie the Mobius strip is if we follow the present timeline as it is happening in the drama --> leading to Cang Jiumin in Xiaoyao Sect. His road to becoming a God clearer than ever, because Tantai Jin has decided that he will be in charge of his own fate.
Finally, today episode is really nice. The last fews one depressed me so much . What I really want to see is LSS shedding some tears and missed Tantai Jin. I want to see more of her feeling toward him. The scene when they remembering their Bo’re life was really nice. Although they are not together yet. But they will very soon….
TTJ is so damn hot when he’s about to turn to evil god!! I want to see him become the evil god soon. We are running out of episode here!
By the way, can someone please summarize for me the policy and censorship of the TV series in China? Because I…
In general :
- 40 episodes max. They can split into two parts but they need wait 6 months apart for airing part two. It is not great idea overall because drama will lost hype and steam. So they rather cut it into 40 ep. - Time travel from modern time to historical not allowed anymore. Somehow it is still allowed if it happening in same era. Transmigration not allowed. Reincarnation is allowed. - No foreign influence on costume drama especially Japanese. Modernization and stylish costume still allowed. Back than they start slips in some Japanese influence and ppl kinda let it go. But Queen Lau took it to the next level and it was massive controversy. - There is no restriction on duration of episode yet. But doesn't mean they can put 2 hour duration. 60 min probably max. - Cut scene is unclear. We don't know if it director decision or else. Because 40 ep rule ofc drama that planned for 60 ep need to be cut. But newest drama made for 40 ep in mind such TSL. -General restriction such nudity, excessive violence, gore and religion sensitive topic. - BL do not allowed to airing anymore. Even if they are disguise it with brotherhood or whatever. Every BL dramas shelved forever and company suffers a lost.
I agree with your thoughts I'll get a besting but I didn't feel li susu ever loved TTJ and this hurts me more…
TTJ love is a bit of a difficult case to explain. The fact his love threads were just starting to grow means this is a new experience for him. It is his first time falling in love and I do believe he did love her but I also believe because she handled him like a mission instead of a broken person, it turned into a unhealthy obsession. What she done only made him cling into the only love he ever had and that made him addicted to it. I find him tragic especially when he said, "She is the only one in the world who cared for me." His character have so much layers. It's a shame to see him get betrayed.
Episode 28 was well served. I loved it. It was full of roller coaster. I wanna talk about Tantai Jin here. In the middle of the drama, I kind of had mixed feelings for this character. But after recent few episodes, I have come to know that he is the most pitiful character in this series. He don’t deserve any of those things that he got in his life. Being hated, abandoned, misunderstood, and backstabbed by those whom he trusted the most, not once, not twice, not thrice but multiple times. Sometimes, fate is really cruel and unfair, and there’s nothing one can do about it. He thought he did finally found someone with whom he can spent the rest of his life, share his highs and lows, love him uncondionally no matter whatever the situations is, believe him, support him and always accompany him. But how could he have known that his fate was already doomed from the beginning. His biggest fear?? Being Abandoned and loathe. But that’s what exactly’s been happening to him since his birth. Today also, everything was like a thick mist enveloped over the cold mountains that swept away slowly once the heavy storm was over.
Truly understanding Tantai Jin, He never did anything wrong. Even if he was born with evil bone or whatever he was kind enough to let people live, and enjoy their freedom. Yes, he might had killed some people who were close to him in the past. But I think they deserved it. If he hadn’t kill those people they would have killed him instead. So yes, Tantai Jin never did anything wrong, he just ever wanted was to be loved, accepted just like others. I just hope in the upcoming episodes this character will have a little more hope, compassion, love and respect that he deserved.
I loved the relationship between Xiao Chuhe and Xiao Chong throughout this drama despite them having many reasons to despise each other they ALWAYS stood together.
I loved how the emperor wrote TWO decrees and gave it to both sons naming the other as emperor. Xiao Chong was so shocked and happy by his brother making him emperor (before he had the chance to make Chuhe emperor). That scene was AMAZING. Seeing Chuhe bow to Chong (for the first time), the acceptance and love in Xiao Chong's eyes and top of all of that Xiao Chong's name as emperor was EMPEROR CHONGHE, same "he" 河 as Chuhe, he combined their names to be his name as emperor. Their brotherly love was everything.
I hope Netflix gets this Epic wuxia drama “The Blood of Youth”! Not all episodes available on Youtube even for paying members. Such a great lost not to see the Epic special effects & grand costume the production gave great efforts in this drama and not to be seen on bigger screen than smaller gadget screens. Watching it for super charming Prince Chuhe/ Xiao Se, Li Hongyi, very handsome & good acting, I cried when you were sick. and all other great casts too, very good storyline and great acting from all the casts and superb overall production! Cant believe seeing something this Epic drama from China, this is a Legend in the making, its like watching 40 episode Big budgetted movies.

The sects: KILL HIM NOW
LSS: Why should we punish someone for being what they were born to be, before they even did anything wrong, just because they might become evil?
Girl. That's what we all have been saying while you went through your Terminator phase.
