Oh sorry if that came off as rude, I didn’t mean that you should have seen the theory everywhere. I just meant that Chinese videos are where I’ve seen the theory. Fan theories aren’t as frequent on MDL, probably because most of us haven’t read the novel so it would literally be anyone’s guess!
So far, Ying Deng, the lamp lady, is the only living villain in the drama up to this point. To me, she's a small…
From the theory videos I’ve seen I’m pretty sure it’s the ji Dou star Lord. If you watch the trailers you will notice he’s the one yd and YY fight when they’re wearing red.
The theories are that in the war he faked his own death, came back and killed the emperor and has been impersonating the emperor ever since, that’s why the emperor looks evil. The part where YY is crying and yd kisses him is supposed to be when he is distraught when he learns of the emperor’s death (I think the emperor is yy’s uncle (his mothers brother) who has raised him since birth and has been helping him suppress his asura blood).
Why is YD a lotus for the next few episodes? How dare the director deprive me of proper YD/TZ moments! I don’t want scenes of TZ staring longingly at a cgi lotus :(
I saw a clip I’d never seen before of YD dressed in red fighting the Star Lord on her own. I’ve watched a lot of the Chinese fan videos and I’m guessing it’s probably in the book that he’s the big baddie. But anyway, I got really excited that YD is going to fight alongside and for YY and not be helpless or clueless. I really enjoy YD’s character arc. Not to mention she’s hilarious in this. If you’re Chinese, the part where she giggles and throws TZ’s gourd at the floor when saying 你真討厭! is so funny. I can also see why she dubs herself, her voice is very expressive, especially when delivering funny lines.
There are a lot of Chinese fan theories. One of the ones I liked involves zhixi going to the mortal world to tell YD that YY’s mortal body cannot hold his heavenly powers and he needs to die to become YY, so that’s why YD stabs him. It looks like they manage to live together for a while as TZ and YD (with her memories back) only for her to stab him (and possibly save him with the artefacts?). The fan theory posits that YD’s voiceover where she says she now understands him when he rejected her and said he had to protect the three realms, what she now understands is that to love someone, you have to protect what they want to protect, which is her and the three realms.
Goddammit, give me some more immortal samsara so I don’t have to spend my whole days reading fanfiction!! :(
There’s a new dramatic romance trailer with new clips. But the voiceover and subtitles are out of sync so it’s hard to tell who is saying what. But beggars can’t be choosers! I’m just happy with new footage of my YY/YD couple.
And ppl claims she's a silly white sweet type 🙄 did u even watch the show. This is a clever girl. Antis shod…
Wow, you're rather unpleasant. I’m only giving an opinion, like you can give yours without people being rude.
Naive usually describes someone with less informed worldview (e.g a sheltered teenager would be naive to the ways of the world). But it isn’t a synonym of stupid as you seem to suppose. So yes, YD is clever, but you can be both clever and naive. They are not mutually exclusive. YD is naive, to suppose that the emperor would risk the peace of heaven to say he loved her is to not understand the responsibilities he has or the full repercussions.
‘Naive is like when someone believes something easily’ - the word you’re looking for here is ‘gullible’, which can be a trait a naive person has, but is not the definition of naive.
I love how YD is not like typical cdrama FL with zero braincells but actually much more wiser.
I love her growth. At the beginning she is naive and wilful and doesn’t understand why he doesn’t just fight against the heavenly laws.
But in the voiceover for one of the trailers you hear her say she finally understands him when he said he had to care for the world and didn’t have room for anything else. My guess, and hope, is that she understands that as Emperor he has a responsibility to bring peace to the three realms. And through understanding that, still loving him and sharing his responsibilities she shows the heavenly realm that love is an asset and not a hindrance to his duties. (Since that is why love is prohibited)
Since YY didn't openly neither personally manifested his support to her in that situation, I can see why YD really…
This was before the bridge but after he sentenced her. But the scene where he goes to visit her after he wakes up and she denies it was her who saved her, I thought that scene was full of tenderness. But maybe it’s because we can see how hard it is for YY to see yd putting her sister above herself.
From what I remember, it's Zhi Shi - Yan Dan's twin who was manipulated and by that Lamp Lady. Also, she saw herself…
I’m watching out of sequence, so I may have it wrong. But lamp lady is so obvious. Can’t work out if she’s truly in love with YY or just wants him because he’s powerful.
I have realized that TZ is basically YY but with a lot less responsibilities/ expectations. If the same amount…
There’s an interview with Cheng Yi and he says that exactly. That the circumstances in which TZ was raised means he is much freer in the way he speaks and acts.
I’m watching from clips (cannot do angst in real time) and I was pleased with how YD’s character was very resolute and forward about her feelings for YY. (Because YD is similar to jin mi I think the comparisons are inevitable. Jin mi was always so helpless and gormless in love)
But I’m disappointed with how easily manipulated she is here. There’s a scene where the lamp lady is making yd believe YY is kicking her out of yan xu palace, and with everything lamp lady has done, why believe her? YY may not openly show he loves yd but he has always been caring, so she should at least know he wouldn’t say horrible things about her. I just…. Argh! I understand YD is young and innocent, but she’s a scriptwriter! She has to know some people are just vindictive.
On a lighter note, in one of the new clips where TZ is in bed and YD is sitting beside him he says ‘屁股起来’ to YD which translates as move your butt, haha. It’s definitely a very casual way of speaking that YY doesn’t have.
You can see at the beginning of this video. It’s a theory repeated in a lot of the Chinese fan videos.
The theories are that in the war he faked his own death, came back and killed the emperor and has been impersonating the emperor ever since, that’s why the emperor looks evil. The part where YY is crying and yd kisses him is supposed to be when he is distraught when he learns of the emperor’s death (I think the emperor is yy’s uncle (his mothers brother) who has raised him since birth and has been helping him suppress his asura blood).
This is such a nice edit comparing TZ and YY.
I saw a clip I’d never seen before of YD dressed in red fighting the Star Lord on her own. I’ve watched a lot of the Chinese fan videos and I’m guessing it’s probably in the book that he’s the big baddie.
