WK1, you punched right in the gut. Being reminded that it was all for profit and not exactly on the audience’s favor, this really still stir disappointment. Nomatter Core or Non fans, we all love and enjoy watching a drama especially if we are given chance equal to their domestic audiences to watch it, to quote- fair service. Yet, this was deprived from us, although not exactly bad for the drama. We all can endure waiting but I also truly hope that this would not happen again.

I once thought that way . Yet after he kept torturing Yunhe for only crazy reasons(for disobeying or for not perfectly following his plans) and after reading the novel , he is considered as a selfish person in my eyes. First, He smiled because he treats Yunhe as an object he needs for his plan, never as a daughter. He also only cared about making his son crazy like him. For me, his plans and acts eventually buries the remaining fatherly love left in him that I pitied once. But my hate for him mostly stemmed from the fact that I dont believe that the end justifies the means. He meant well for his son, but he also never stopped hurting his son’s humanity and others(Yunhe, himself since he also wasnt able to receive the love of his son, and his assistant’s love for him) all for his cause.

Yes, every 7-8PM. Raws are uploaded by then.

I am so excited for the date! Maybe it will happen in between EP13-15 or sooner but I hope I can watch it with eng subs though huhu. Yunhe and Changyi never even got the chance to have a proper date in the novel. I will definitely prepare a pillow beside to hide my screams and excitement while watching at home. Although I really believe EP12 would torture the viewers with anger, I will only look forward to their date in mind so that I could resist punching the screen while watching, lol.

True! Since I could not watch with eng subs, I have decided to just compare what I have already read to the dialogues in the drama! It became easier for me to understand the conversations since then. This actually helped me a lot since I am not proficient with chinese.

Theres only two dramas that made me want to check out the novel. It was Ancient Love Poetry and this drama, The Blue Whisper. ALP is still my favorite and TBW is currently my obsession HAHA. But I did not finish both novels for the same reason. I wanted to enjoy watching the drama more through being clueless. Watching without knowing the future just like you said, indeed enhance the watching experience and is more fun. Watching The Long Ballad also tempted me to check the manhwa, the art and pacing of the story was really engaging to see! But sadly, I was not able to finish it too last year ever since I got hospitalised. 😅

I was not aware, thank you so much for letting us know. Does this mean they would be the one to post eng subs on their platform or youtube if ever?

Yes! The drama is fun and exciting to watch, for real!
Oh, I did not study chinese but I can understand some basic words which allowed me to understand the drama a bit. ( For example, I understood in EP10 that Hao Qing asked “What are you implying by doing this?” and the assistant responded as “The Lord’s rules states that if the Litte Master is hurt, punsihment will be bestowed to the culprit.” ). I also understand some of the complicated texts since I have watched xianxia dramas which gave me a bit of an idea of what they are saying. ( For example, “Ling Zhi”= Ganoderma, Ling Shi= Spiritual Stones, Da Wei Ba Yu = Big Tailed fish, and some more). The quote from the drama I mentioned above are taken from @afternoont in twitter who translates some of her/his favourite scenes from TBW. I really enjoy her translations and posts since it is fun and somewhat coherent with what I understood while watching too.

I did exactly the same , read the novel due to the temptation of wanting to know what is happening. I am so disappointed with youku right now. But Ill really pass on finishing the novel…I think I want to enjoy being clueless while watching too XD I am also in love on the drama’s amazing adaptation. Each character are like the real ones in the novel, their acting are topnotch!

Yes, that’s right :)).

Youku is probably planning to cater to Intl fans only on april, after part 1 ends… but many are disappointed with this tactic.

There’s no official/quality eng sub yet, sadly…we can only watch it raw… *cries*

*Ji Yunhe gave Chang Yi a new outfit*
JYH: later after we escape, we’ll find someone to make a more expensive and nicer outfit
CY: no need, I look handsome, everything I wear looks good on me.

He is indeed pure guys. Look at this “honesty”. I can die peacefully now after laughing so hard.

PS: These translated texts are done by @afternoont in twitter :))

“Yunhe, the “touch it and it’ll get better” magic, I’ve understand it. If you and Lin Haoqing are training and he’s hurt, you cannot use that magic on him. Qu Xiaoxing also cannot, and Luoluo it’s also better not to”
-Changyi in Episode 10

Jealousy…So cute >…< I also wish time stopped right here. But I am very prepared “for their lovely date”! :))

Oh.. I thought you meant Yunhe in the novel… The quote uttered by Yunhe in the drama happened in Episode 8 before she and Changyi jumped into the whirlpool… While the quote by Yunhe in the novel happened in Chapter 99….

Yes, she did elaborate. The whole dialogue Yunhe said in the novel actually made me so sad that I really wanted to cry but thankfully I didnt, since the sadness was eventually replaced with a smile instead. But if I tell, it would be a big spoiler… I am both glad and amazed at you, WK1 for noticing the deep meaning of the quote.

Yunhe:

“I used to put up with lots of things, gave up a lot just to escape thousand flowers valley, because I think it’s all for freedom. But now I understand, that’s not the meaning of freedom and living. Whatever the future awaits, let’s go and see it together okay?”
-Drama (Episode 8)

“…freedom is not about being able to go anywhere you want," she said. "It's being able to decide for yourself."
-Novel (Chapter 99)

I think I don’t want to finish the novel now. I’ll stop right here at CH99 with the memory of Yunhe’s quote above buried in my mind. I want to enjoy the drama better and be like everyone, clueless but is having fun. Even if I get tempted to know the answer to my questions in the novel, I’d try to pull myself back with all determination.

To be honest, choosing to read the novel was like throwing myself in a dark pit with only the moonlight to light the way, It was so depressing. But, it is very soul-stirring to read. On the other hand, the drama itself will shower you a lot of fireflies, a thousand hope for a much joyful and less agonising experience. It is coupled with gorgeous actors and amazing acting that perfectly fit all of the characters features in the novel, what more could a novel reader ask for.

For example, Loulou is exactly what I imagined her to be- intensely loyal, bubbly and clueless most of the time- still always manages to steal my heart. Changyi, the pretty and big tailed fish, a mirror of the looks cold-but is the- kindest of all noble merman. Yunhe, the mysterious, dreamy and determined warrior that deserve happiness the most. All of the casts introduced as the characters was a delight to see come to life that I feel like crying my eyes out of joy.

Blue Whisper is truly unique and enjoyable to read as a novel but the drama will pull you in just as equally. I’m so looking forward for the future episodes and see what is in for Yunhe and Changyi in the drama!

I am very glad that you enjoyed reading it despite the length, thank you Babetute! ♡

He is her stepfather. He adopted Yunhe for two reasons. One is to make his son have a rival to make him grow into a person matching his "ideal successor qualifications". And for the other reason, I will not mention since it is a big spoiler... but it is for his "greed".
Yunhe is tortured by the old man every time she does something he doesn't want or everytime she doesnt follow his orders perfectly.... He's a selfish, psychopathic and crazy old man. I couldn't even understand how his assistant fell in love with a kind of person who want to make his own offspring crazy like him....

Hello r2, I would like too check it too.. thank you so much!

“the author of #thebluewhisper has also been trying to ask Youku for more eps to be released to no avail as well hahahahaha”
