Some other thoughts came to me when I watched ep 4: - TTJ’s label since childbirth by the adults around him…
I've heard a story (here in our place) that before, it was a tradition that if a woman dies of childbirth, even if the baby was born alive, it would be buried along with her as it is a jinx to the family. sad but true story. of course it's barbaric, but it is an unescapable thing. Good that we're civilized now, and that it's one tradition that died away. That's why this ep hits hard for me because myths and stories always have their roots in real life situations. This situation is possible, so hopefully seeing this, we the viewers can be better than the emperor.
Also is TTJ’s love thread awakening as he can dream and cry in this ep? And YXW asked it’s been 10k yard since…
(on TTJ's love thread) I think so too.. I always pegged this ep and the next one as the one where TTJ started to see YXW as someone who will really care for him and who he wants to care more about him... if not a whole thread, then the seed of it? (on the 10k) Now that you mention it, makes sense... I mean, I originally thought it was every 500 years. If every 500 years, then a lot of Devil Gods should've popped out already...... so I'm crossing that one out of my mind.
1. Sad for TTJ who never had a normal childhood/life, just because the Yue Clan made a deal with ADG ten thousand…
Because I remembered in the google translated novels, TTJ was written sometimes as Tantai Cinders. That's when it clicked for me. Jin=cinders=burned paper for the names (I don't know chinese so sometimes I context clue my way out of that google translated novel)
The bgm from TTJ's parents' wedding is so beautiful and fitting... Any child is conceived and born with high hopes... even TTJ. I saw this already from Micha's comment from ep.3 that Jin=embers... i didn't understand that scene first time when TTJ's dad burned the paper for the names.. even his name stood for the hopelessness that his father felt when his mother died...😭😭😭 I wonder how Lang'an knew to feed TTJ with blood? Just because the six year old said he'll kill someone, he's a monster?....why didn't they take him to Yiyue Tribe in the first place??? His father didn't want him, so why make hin stay in the palace? ..but that six year old knew that his nanny is cold.... still shows he has humane feelings... That despicable Chief Wu!😡 Good riddance. Awwwww little Xiao Lin is so cute😍 and so honorable at the same time.. makes me sigh at what happened YEARS later. If there's anything good that Yingxin taught him, it's to be as good as XL..that I think made the difference... at least tempered his ruthlessness.. and made him learn how to care or love through XL's example... Little TTJ's attempts at smiling breaks my heart.😭 Seeing TTJ being kicked reminds me of LYX's real life injury😭 this was even filmed right after that😭 Yingxin, SAY something else other than your majesty!! 😭 TTJ's hopelessness at changing his fate is....💔 YXW, you're in a dream. How can you change someone if it's a dream?... Why couldn't this version of TTJ's life go on??😭💔 He really does fear YXW so much... ...but she saves him from killing himself😭 The transition between TTJ holding up his bloody hands to the appearance of his father's sword was so smooth.... So actually he'd also fear XL because he fears that XL can prove that TTJ is faking his good image...I think TTJ is projecting on dream XL all his fears and deepest thoughts about himself...doesn't make it easier for me to hear and see TTJ's desperation😭😭😭 Why is the succubus always going for TTJ when it was YXW who keeps on waking up and causing trouble???then again, thanks for your service... TTJ will make good use of your power😅🤣

The whole sentence is "The assumption that many "hardcore" fans here will hate on you because you critique the drama is unfounded (and frankly a little insulting)". You, or your review, didn't come off as insulting. It's YOUR ASSUMPTION. Please read the whole sentence or better yet please watch and understand the whole drama for a better, more wholesome and conprehensive review. Thank you.
Hi guys! Just cueing us in for the group rewatch. Please share your thoughts anytime. 😊EPISODE: 3
Oh. The nightmare demon. At this watch I now see hints that YBC is Mo NV - when the demon mentioned she has a unique scent, and that something was demonic in her.. maybe her "It's mine to begin with" is PR's love thread? Ahahaha YXW absentmindedly filling up TTJ's bowl with buns is funny... and her shoulder shake😅 I found myself imitating her sometimes IRL 😅🤣 THAT CAT😻😻 TTJ and YXW spying on each other is ...........couple goals?🤣🤣 The drama reused footage from ADG's origins here, when the demon took nightmares from a man in her garden.. The phoenix is scared of a crow.😅🤣 Awww... the start of the "I save you, you save me" relationship... I rather thought LSS has more despair in her than TTJ, especially after hearing her sect members' voices again. Missed opportunity by the demon (and us for more drama, tbh. Then again, the story might soon be over if anyone knew she was from the future🤣) TTJ: YXW, you were reading? Draco Malfoy: I didn't know you can read? 🤣🤣🤣 At least the nightmare demon did something good by(sort of) allowing TTJ to see his mom😭 and dad in happier times😭😭😭

TTJ looks much softer and seems much kinder when interacting with animals, and so harsh when with people... what did the frog do to be called naughty??😅 What kind of spying is that, YXW?That crow had perfect timing🤣 LYX's eyebrows tho. They're so fascinating.. 😅 "To be alive is exhausting enough" is the saddest line ever.😔 I love that purple coat....why did it have to be torn a few seconds in? Ye Zeyu😡 ...and the Sheng emperor is here, thinking he's pulled a fast one at TTJ, not knowing he is seen through. YXW isn't the first person TTJ cared for...it was XL and Yingxin.. his immediate refusal to betray XL, and his immediate action towards Chief Wu shows that he knew how to care for others (in his own way, ofc), though he likely doesn't know what he did was called caring. Kind YXW gives her fur cloak to Yingxin... Ahahahahahaha PYZ perfectly describes how it is to work in government🤣🤣🤭 YXW pities TTJ for his sad life, being the kind immortal she is, but ADG considers TTJ's suffering as the act of gaining power by collecting sins... that's perspective. SEE??? "Go ahead, get naked, I've seen it all, haven't I?" Oh DID you, YXW??🤣
No tears and blood spit in this episode !!I love chuntao , all her scenes are funny as. Wish she was in it more…
Maybe because it was from her? Like he could accept anything except those comung from her? Which makes me think he must have really hated her before LSS intervened. (Which begs the question, i thought he didn't feel anything?😵💫)
Hi guys! Let's do the group rewatch. Feel free to drop your thoughts here anytime. 😊EPISODE: 2
BL acted out the scary YXW perfectly.. now I wish we could've seen the scheming YXW and her attempts to get XL's attention. I kinda wanted YXW and YBC to go at it over XL... with TTJ as the audience.🤣
I think this was why YBC and XL wasn't as impactful as YQY and PR... there wasn't much friction between them, they were already in love with each other at the very start and there wasn't any significant conflict between them that dragged out like the main couple's... they already had the happy ending at the very start. (then again, this is kinda the TTJ show soooo... and do I want to be absorbed in their love story? Errrmm not really🤣)

I'd always go back to this episode where Li Susu cares for the feverish Tantai Jin.. it may have been against her will, but she's really so kindhearted.. too much that she'd nurse even her greatest enemy to health. she couldn't even sleep properly thinking about her enemy kneeling in the frozen lake, with the cold wind blowing. And yeah, I was always thinking how she coped sleeping right after she came from the future. I myself can't sleep well when I sleep in somebody else's house.
Tantai Jin really looks so pitiable and miserable kneeling in the snow. I really have to wonder why no one,absolutely NO ONE, dared to do what was right by him. Okay, so they all fear YXW, but really, no one?
When YBC first appeared, I remembered being curious as to how the love square will turn out(i was kinda expecting one) but i was unconvinced she'd put up a hard fight with YXW for TTJ's heart. How can she if XL was that handsome and kind? I was also expecting XL to barge into Ye Mansion to scold YXW for how she treated TTJ, but the episode came and went without that.
the only one who cared about TTJ was the crow.😭
How come LSS doesn't know anything about evil bones when there was a library at her sect? Or was there?🤷♀️
That's three times YXW interrupted Chuntao's sleep, and yet CT was the one who was more bubbly in the morning...😅
I was happy for YXW when she felt cared for after the trauma of losing her sect, though I wondered why she had to read about family love in a book? What did she have at her sect?
The look TTJ had when he sent the fly down that servant's throat was😈 but really, how he shifts from victim to tormentor to victim again is so smooth that i was really confused about what to feel for him.
TTJ's convo with the ADG makes me really curious as to what happened with the DG at ep1.. did he experience everything that TTJ will experience or was he simply bored enough or couldn't care less enough to let ADG take over?
About the evil bone.... was LSS really looking for a literal bone?😅 that's why she's touching him (almost) everywhere??
I wonder if the dessert that prince gave TTJ was the only one with Love Fury.. if so, how foolproof could TTJ's plan be to make the prince feed him the only one with the drug? But maybe this is just a he said she said scenario, and this is just TTJ's lie
A fan theorized that TTJ's gray clothes seems to have flecks of red pattern in it but it could be because he was…
I thought the Prince Liang here was the same one as the Cen Mi in the immortal arc.. 😅 when I first saw Cen Mi, i thought, "of all the people to be reincarnated as an immortal, did it have to be that guy??"🤣🤣
