battleaxe

little foxy fell in love and it literally destroyed him, he essentially became an entirely different person bc of his bitter love. i feel bad for him, but he simu is doing the right thing here, and i luv her for that. also its kinda poetic that the love changed him, but she as the immortal is unchanging. my heart aches for them, but i can't ship them

i didn't ship them in the end. he desperately needed a life outside her, and she didn't really like him as much, or maybe it's her acting (twas very mid). overall it feels like i wandered into someone's messy stalker fantasy. it's a good showcase for the newbie ml though

it's understandable. she's still quite young and green, and he adapted to that. i actually like that he's always conscientious with his kissing scenes, it's one of my favorite things about him.

i'd like a s2, but the ml needs to do better, his performance was the weakest among them all

don't pmo

these last three eps just really brought it to the fore that he's been stalking her for six years and 😬😬that's not ok ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww. all the cuteness i was sensing earlier, poof gone like smoke. even worse that she now likes him too. this is definitely not something young impressionable minds should consume

i don't care for this, too many concubines, and they're all loud and screechy. ml seems like a side character so far, no notes on him. don't care about the fl either or the murder mystery, she died quite foolishly in her 1st life, and the only thing keeping her alive in her 2nd life is plot armor .
its giving much ado for nothing

i like how unserious and sincere the ml is, he paused chasing her to offer her a job, then resumed his nonsense once he saw she was in a better position to handle her business. a true loverboi

🤣🤣 that is all just so absurd! thanks for the explanation friend

the two main cps were sweet, and the fl's relationship with her work family was nice, but overall this was quite bland. the only memorable thing was the ml's sensory quirk

i dropped this drama bc i got story fatigue, but for the first 16 eps i kept thinking it really has some of the best time/drama loop writing i've seen in the past year. the story just keep fitting into itself in a way that was very smooth, logical and interesting . a dream within a dream definitely could have used a hit of that. but then these writers hit a wall, and started dragging us around in circles - i skipped to the end and at least they got a HE, i'm not sure how that happened though and i don't rlly care to sit through the remaining eps to find out. if anyone reads this and is in a generous enough mood to tell me, pls do.
the characters were very one dimensional which is expected, but yan zi xian and his perfectly applied lipgloss gobbled up his role, he was a delight to watch. i think the fl was the princess' right hand in princess royal? i'm not familiar with her but she held her own too. i recommend if you have the stamina, i didn't.

they're actually really cute. the ml is very obviously 22 but he's doing really well for his debut, i haven't seen the fl since rising feather its nice to see her. mayb its the seaside location but the drama is also relaxing so far

i can't believe this is coming out so soon, i was thinking it was gonna be more towards the end of the year. what a lovely surprise

the fl and mls tried their best, but this was still very underwhelming. i shall forget i ever watched it all in three business days

yes, but they got a divorce in ep 10/11

the comments disparaging the fl are really odd, so far all her actions and reactions have been very sensible, at least up until ep 11, i don't see what the issue is. but that ml...he has the memory and knowledge of ten lifetimes but stay making the simplest mistakes, lame

on a side note - zhao yi qin is more of a director's actor, he needs firm directors like the hard to find or butterflied lover director to really make him pop onscreen.
hu yi yao's rich madam vibe is always so funny to me, esp as she's still young. gotta be a producer somewhere that doesn't play about her

i like the idea of this cp, let me get in there and see what's going on

i consider this drama as pure fiction based on some historical events and people, but even in a fictional drama no one is cajoling these hardened warriors and politicians into taking the throne bruh that is just ridiculous. they've shown slaughtered kids and women being assaulted and hanging dead in the street, but a coup is where they draw the line? 😕

i can't even be amused at guo wei being 'forced' to take the throne the same way he 'forced' the dead liu king, bc those scenarios are just too silly

thanks for linking that discussion! i wish i'd started this earlier and could have participated.
🤣 i always say top 5 but I can't actually name five off the top of my head, if its really bad it just makes sense to put in the top5. i'm sure i have a list somewhere if i really think about it. there's actually one in rise of phoenixes (i only remembered that bc i just wrote you about it)

very true, the last 10/15 episodes were terrible. but all the episodes before that were really good
