Bai lu said she's taking a long break after her drama filming. So does that mean she's not taking Mo Li, or she's taking a break after Mo Li?

for me, it feels weird and disjointed. instead of amplifying the emotions, im like taken out of the moment 😅 The special effects are amazing so far tho

There is something wrong with the music editing especially when they play the songs. There are plenty of scenes where the songs is too loud almost overpowering their voices. Sometimes, it doesnt even feel right for the scene or it played way too early. Does this persist even with the most recent episodes? i cant believe a high budget drama is edited like this 😅

Is it really going to be a whole year without bai lu drama? 🥹

I miss Bai Lu drama. It feels like forever. When is northward coming 😭

i think bai lu will do modern or republican next. might not be another historical but most especially not xianxia.

im so confused, the synopsis doesnt even include xia feng hua but she is one of the main lead. I wonder what exactly her role is? anyone read the novel?

Novel is different. They really changed A LOT. In the novel, at this point, FL only learned aboutML not being CXZ then learned he is lord huayaing. She got mad and left ML and came back to live with her maternal family and grandfather. Then they got married first after a lot of convincing from ML. They were lovey-dovey. She got pregnant while in the capital. FL met and learned from her co-bandits that she is Lu Wen, but she still did not get her memories back. Later, ML learned she is Lu Wen. ML got a bit angry but still sweet. It is much much later that FL got her memories of Lu Wen back.

They really intensified the conflict and the angst in the drama, which i think could be a right decision IF they do it right.

So far, drama plot line has its own merit, if not kinda better and more intense. But it has only been 2 eps since the significant deviation haha we shall see in the next coming eps. also yes the translation is good, but far from finished since update is weekly. I think we are on chapter 130 and there is 179 plus 2 extras?

they deviated so much from the novel with episode 17 that i am sure the rest of the story will be heavily changed too. idk what to feel but if i didnt read the novel, this would still be a good story haha. it just feels like its gonna be a totally different story from the novel from here on.
some of the plotlines in the novel may indeed not translate well in drama but i kinda miss it tho haha.

can someone spoil when JXB learned about YNX’s shapeshifting? what ep? I might have not paid attention. I knew YnX admitted it at ep 16 but when did JXB suspected?

As much I am a fan of f bai lu, I like The Double more. The characterization and the script was just better. To be fair tho, the source novel for the double was just so much better than sokp to begin with. However, during time of airing of SOKP I liked it very very much. My suggestion is to take a break after The double before watching SOKP to avoid fatigue since the genre is similar.

I miss bai lu 🤧

This is reallly good so far. It's been hard waiting for episodes the past weeks🤧

I am plannning to watch this once this finish airing but with no bias, can anyone tell me why the rating has gone down to 7.8. Honest reviews please. 🥺

She is actually on a roll this 2024. Article 20 is VERY successul in china. Even if she was only support, she has left a mark on viewers and has successfully jumped from just being an idol actress to a serious actress recognized by chinese people, or so I heard. In China, although actors in idol dramas earn a lot and are very popular, they are not considered "serious" actors. Plus idol dramas bank on youthfulness. I think the transition and recognition as a serious actress has been ZLY's goal especially now that she's past 35, so Im happy for her!! Then, after article 20, legend of shen li also became really popular, which brought liying back to the spotlight, especially for newer cdrama fans who have been introduced to cdrama passed ZLY's idol drama era.

I can actually see her improvement in acting even in TLOS. She must have attended a lot of lessons and worked really hard!

Yes. Watch another drama. Legend of hua zhi: blossoms of adversity is good so far. Nothing new again, but done well enough. :)

I'm watching that too. Not as good as TLOS but good enough!

I am a bai lu and zhao liying fan, so I appove 😆

Zhao Liying is one of the big names amongst actresses in china. I guess people banked on the likely success of ZLY comeback to xianxia plus the pairing with LGX. Plus, I think ZLY (as a producer) really put in research + willing to spend for all the right reasons. The cinematography, ost, cast must have cost a lot. The bgm are too many and was really apt for each seen. It was well thought out. She was also friends and has worked with some of the actors in her previous dramas.
Everything was worth it because the drama was a success now and the producers, writers, director amd actors must have earned a lot
