This was such an easy watch, despite the iffy age gap. I really liked their natural awkwardness through the progression of their relationship, I really appreciate a gradual intimacy rather than inseparable lovers trope after a glance.
But everything aside the real mvp for me was Sang Yan, I loved every single thing about him. Plus, albeit it was familial Victor Ma's Lu Si's chemistry was on fire. I'm not particularly supportive of calling grown man/woman cute as in babying them but bickering Sang Yan vs Sang Zhi duo was damn so cute.

that is smart and I think I want that job, think about all the masterpieces that got butchered by the censorship, they've seen the original content, how lucky and damn them :D

Actually, if you love someone and that person stabs you right in the middle of your heart, umm, being wise, patient and understanding is the last thing any sane person would be. Greater your love, greater the disappointment, rage, sadness etc.
Your rationale should make you distrust that person even further not fortify your trust, and when it comes to love, your love should make you even more anxious. Of course this is only my point of view and I am no master of emotions and if you can trust your *almost* partner in that situation, props to you.

Doing a lot does not equal to doing it right, so... I shall reserve my opinion on this topic till I see the outcome. Also, not giving too much credit to someone is usually better than the opposite :)

Yan Hui needs to get her sh*t together, that man stabbed you three times already and I bet my non existing fortune that he ain't be getting better any time soon.

I don't know about that one but I can squeeze at least 3 other dramas that were shot in that set and a dozen more on about earlier sets. It is kind of fun to see the same places in other dramas, it almost makes them feel like they are real :)

I know, what I meant was my heart goes to TTJ and I really didn't need that right now, I came to like his character which I thought I wouldn't before starting this. I needed a tortured villain not a innocent lad blamed as such, I can curse and write essays about the first one, but gosh the second one, I need to protect him from these two faced so called good characters so that I can have some peace yet that doesn't seem to be happening any time soon, hence my anguish and dilemma.
This is not about the difference between the og and the adaptation, it's just me being extra :D

At this point I don't even know if I can finish this, thinking about TTJ makes me so sad. I wish they made him more like his novel counterpart then he wouldn't have to be this miserable poor lad. I need a solid reason to not pity him, guy got to see the worst of humanity in every corner he has turned, if that doesn't boil your heart with pure hatred I don't even know what does.

I get that she is time travelling and all of that but! she keeps believing in her harlot ex-bf goes beyond the realm of stupidity. I'm dropping this, 14 episodes, I've tried my best.

So they are different entities after all, thanks :)

I always thought it was part of him, like a ying yang situation.
p.s. regarding this topic, detailed spoilers from the novel would be much appreciated.

TTJ is basically has been dumped because of himself... again, and that is such an irony. His monologue in ep 32 was supposed to be serious or whatever but it made chuckle a bit, he is blaming the devil god and it is himself...
Btw, can't he be the devil god and not do atrocious things such as annihilating the whole living beings cause I kind of, no, no, no I really want him to become the devil god and since Li Susu is a god descendent, TTJ and LSS can make little half devil-half god creatures, how fun, and wouldn't that creature simply be a human, as all humans carry the potential to be both.

At this point it is blood drooling instead of spitting XD Or a new born vomitting after each meal...

I was about to write that, I can still hear the echo of her voice calling Si Feng XD

This is so sad, tantai jin is basically getting all the bad karma of the world for something he never did, even the holiest angel would turn evil after all that torture let alone someone who has no other choice due to the fact that he has that damn so called evil bone or whatever.
After episode 28 I'm just done, he is obsessed beyond redemption and I want him to let her go, no one is worth that much pain and I'm sure tantai jin can find a more suitable love for himself. I mean his standards for love is so low that even the underworld is above it. Stockholm syndrome at its finest.
Everything aside when he said 'just say something, just a single word' it broke me, that line will haunt me for a long time.

I think it happens more than you think, my country has a long lasting leader and that for the country propaganda is eaten up by the masses. I wouldn't be surprised if Chinese people had similar sentiments.

Wasn't he supposed to be the end game in the novel?

ikr, most of the so called good guys are usually power hungry twisted piece of sh*ts, their justifications for what is right and wrong is beyond vomit inducing and truthfully given the chance I'd just punch them all in the face. Unless they are brain dead zombie type of demons there is a good chance the demons are the real good guys in the equation.
Plus, main leads never killing the main villain because revenge is so 'wrong' yet they kill hordes of other enemies along the way trope manages to kill my brain cells every single time. I can rant all day every day about this topic but I'll spare you and end this needless comment with a simple affirmation to your comment.
I agree with you :D

I'm rewatching this and Langhua that harlot still gets on my nerves * sigh *

He has that mythical creature vibe to him, idk if that is even a thing but he has it anyways XD
