Yes, imagine if the blonde guy met the male lead here 😅 it’d be like looking into a mirror

It’s a movie not a drama, “secrets in the hot spring”. Also Taiwanese supernatural comedy, main lead has similar personality. The deadpan humour is also very similar

For people who like this kind of genre, there’s a Taiwanese “supernatural” comedy film called “secrets in the hot spring”, which is quite similar to this show in terms of humour and character personality (esp the male lead), quite heartwarming as well. Recommended! It should be on Netflix .

lol i'm watching crossfire and only after 20+ episodes I realised the actor who plays Nezha with the crazy hair in xiao bei (WL)'s team is Ah Qi in LLTG. I'm so glad I finished the show before this realisation because I can't take ah qi seriously anymore lollll

wasn't it his official fanclub that denied it the first time round? that's why fans kept asking him and his studio to address it the second time.

Exactly, and I realised that when he saved her at the tower, it was technically unnecessary. He was at the meeting himself with the 3rd Prince and Marquis yue.

Thanks for the explanation! I didn't think of the fact that even till the end LBY was still scheming.

Okay that makes so much more sense, even his one last resort still has multiple layers!

But why can't he just say that the one he used in the end was from Huo? Then the crown Prince wouldn't have to be deposed.

Honestly, I think they just tried to find fast ways for the ML to be the hero in order to redeem his mistake. And rushed ending. No other way to explain the loopholes, really. I personally think that the storyline after 5 years was bad writing.

Question about the Tiger seal: why did LBY have to keep and use the seal lost by the crown Prince during his revenge? Didn't he previously have a similar Tiger seal that was from the Huo family?

he burns bridges everywhere he goes, i think being associated with him will only get you killed considering how many enemies he would have lol. someone like that is impossible to get along with in society.

I cannot stop admiring the cinematography of this show, it's so beautiful and shot like a movie. CGI and the weird beauty filter in historical cdramas can be quite ridiculous sometimes and take me out of the story but this show was mesmerizing. The shot of CSS riding a horse in her bridal gown to save LBY was really the highlight of the show for me (even though it was kind of pointless plotwise but let's ignore that). I really appreciate how the director and crew put in a lot of heart into this show. Sadly we were robbed of great OSTs which could have become classics that accompanied this series.

I thought of the exact same things when I was watching the show! It was so baffling that CSS fell into the same trap twice after 5 years, like it was some kind of character regression for someone who's supposed to be smart and independent. I think they just wanted to create problems for the male lead to show how much he loved her and was willing to die for her so that CSS and we as audience will be able to forgive what he did. Sadly it was at the expense of the FL's intelligence, turning her into a usual damsel in distress. I do think that the storyline after the 5 years went downhill and was really rushed, otherwise it would have been amazing.

So when LBY's aunt died, he was already planning on seeking revenge without implicating CSS, which was why he didn't want to tell her the truth when they were in front of the altar. So then why make a pact? What was the point of the bite marks if he wasn't going to keep his promise anyway?

I have a question about 47 & 48

My OS: if I don't finish the show then it'll never end :'))

Yeah i don't think it's too awkward that it takes you out of it

yes, for some reason i really liked ZLS's acting here! her emotional scenes are so immersive, like even when lby was being punished was pretty much just a joke, she managed to make it incredibly heartbreaking. She feels very natural overall
