WOW S1 was supposed to be 40 episodes?????? AND THEY CUT IT TO 29???

Is this from the announcement? Where can I view it?

LOL all those people complaining he keeps casting the same people (incl me tbh) but now it's suddenly a good thing. Yayyy

Agreed! A quick google search shows that a full moon happens every 29 days or so, which means LWY spent almost an entire month at the sect (because iirc the WZQ arc was only like 2 or 3 days long). So in that case I wish they showed more JiLu shenanigans

I started a full rewatch (currently on ep 4) and even took notes this time LOL. I think my biggest discovery so far was they spent way more time at the Wei Mansion than I initially thought. I was expecting maybe a week there but it seems they were there from Oct 28th til Nov 17th. Yes, I have no life.

Omg I forgot to add this part. Then she says "thanks Manman" and hes like ugh and she goes "sorry, I meant thank you Ji Ling"

I saw something on weibo last night but idk if it was a fanfic paragraph or actual script leak. But the scene takes place during the illusion arc where LWY was taking a bath, JL knocked and LWY said to come in. He is flustered that she told him to come in when she is bathing, but she said it was cause he knocked but didn't say anything, she thought he was a servant. Then LWY asks him to pass a basket of flower petals from across the room and he tells her to get it herself and she goes "but the floor is wet, what if I slip", but before she finishes the sentence he has already passed the basket into her arms, back towards her and looking away the whole time.

Either way, super cute scenario so just wanted to share 😂

Kinda more like different factions with different motivations but they all have similar goals so they temporarily work together and love forms during their cooperation?

I'm super romance-oriented when it comes to my shows. No offence to WuWu but they weren't super compelling to me. And at the beginning JiLu wasn't either. Then ep 8 happened and all of a sudden my JiLu interest shot up. The drama got so much better for me from then on lol

Ep 1-6 were a bit of a struggle for me too, I was on the cusp of dropping the show but only pulled through and kept watching because I had a day off and nothing better to do. By ep 8 I was INVESTED. Definitely give it a chance beyond the first 6 eps. If you're not hooked by the end of ep 8 then maybe the show actually isn't for you 😂

The last time a couple had me in a chokehold like this was love game in eastern fantasy so maybe give that a try if you haven't yet

Pretty central, especially for a GJM work. That said I don't think it overshadows the other themes (friendship, brotherhood, etc)

I've been listening to the songs so much I caught my 2 year old humming No Suffering yesterday 🥲

Was banking on the duet ver of 不苦 to maybe be released with the complete album but I don't think I see it on the setlist. We've been ROBBED!!!

Yes, I was quite disappointed by the special effects and general CG usage for the final boss battle with LWY/JY. The rest of the show was so beautiful.

it's all in chinese though, so if that's a barrier i wouldn't recommend shelling out the money for it

Just ordered the official merch novel and artbook, was quite pricey... hope it's worth the money but its basically the only thing that can curb the empty feeling right now after this show ended LOL

Human JL told the child that demons don't exist in this world, so the implication is that its a different world

I'm assuming it went in and just got trapped in there. WSG's master did say if you couldn't get out you would just get flung into what is essentially a black hole. JL and LWY got out into a different universe.
