It is becoming so tough to wait for episodes. If anyone is watching immortal samsara, can you tell if I should…
Yes, it's worth watching Immortal Samsara and also the other ongoing dramas such as: Love Like A Galaxy, and Lost in Kunlun Mountains too.

Xiao Lan Hua's (main FL) master I believe is the one that Lord Rong Hao loves & who had died in the battle 30,000…
Oh I see -- ya...I think it's still quite confusing b/w the 3 women who are missing in action one way or another.
On Immortal Samsara: Part 1 Aug 9, 2022
Title Immortal Samsara: Part 1 Spoiler
For a quick summary of the latest 2 episodes: 28 & 29

YM, YD and TZ - these three in some ways works well -- esp when YD ended up in her original form b/c of the "evil lamp person". Sigh -- although YM and TZ fight -- there's seems to be a reason one or another to distract the "person" they are trying to solve all the mysteries happening at the palace. Funny at times when the 3 clashes with each other -- esp b/w YM and TZ over YD...who she should follow or be with. Luckily in the end YM agree to YD - to allow her to follow TZ wherever he goes reluctantly - as he knows he wants YD to be happy either way.

As for the "evil lamp person" - she's faking everything & lying about being in a certain sect. She has a lot of power to wanting to destroy YD and trying to steal TZ's powers too. I think she's up to no good and that thing she gave to TZ is a fake one - to temp TZ to her "powerful" place. I hope that TZ and YM sees through her and destroy her once for all in the end -- she's super annoying and every time I see her onscreen, I want to skip over that part of the scene and ignore her.

Too bad for Jiang Chen and Pei Luo - they both died --> JC died because PL wants to gain immortal powers and in the end framed her for something he did -- PL died b/c of his selfish greed and of course YM took back his ancient artifact that belongs to him -- that allowed PL to lived a bit longer in the mortal realm.

As for TZ wondering why YM has such strong powers he has never seen before from YM -- it's b/c YM is from an ancient fish fighting clan that the Heavenly Realm partially forgotten when they serve the Heavenly King back in the days of the historical battle b/w good and evil. YM is the son Fish Fighting Clan (?) - who was saved and he eventually regained his powers back when he and YD were in Heaven Realm before YD was framed for something she never did in her life and she jump the bridge b/c of that. TZ haven't exactly met YM back in the Heavenly Realm - hence why he doesn't exactly know who he is and what kind of power he had. I'm sure once the three travel together -- TZ will eventually learn more about YM's past (my guess) from YD may be.

Anyhow, that's my 2-cents worth of input into these last two episodes.
On Love between Fairy and Devil Aug 9, 2022
Huh, the automatically switched back their bodies back in ep 1. It was such a short time body switch. It doesn't last long...which means the MDL notes are incorrect. My observation thus far for this drama - from ep 1 -8: One thing for sure there's definitely a lot of humor in this drama that'll make you laugh...and there's a scene when the two main leads standing atop the Heavenly realm palace to watch the sunrise & the magical whale of the clouds flying across the skies -- kinda reminds me of the other ongoing drama - Immortal Samsara - feels like a scene that relates to Y.Y (T.Z) parents in the past. :P what coincidence!

Anyways, read at your own risk/discretion! don't blame me for what I saw/observe from this drama.

She and the main ML (Dong Fang Qing Cang) are together because of some kind of special spell that links their emotions/body together -- whenever main FL cries, get hurts, etc - he feels them all, no matter what. That's why he said those words: "Your body is mine, your blood is mine, etc" to her at one point in time (when he went to rescue her at the Haishi city from the other evil spirits). It was then he realized when they switched back to their original selves -- the special lotus flower glowing in her body that protected her when she fell into the "Haotian Tower" transferred into his body.

Hence why from then on, he has to do everything to protect her - prevent her from getting injured, sick, emotional breakdowns, etc. B/c if he doesn't, he also suffers the exact same pains/injuries/illness, etc as she does.

In the twist of fate -- when she sends him away (in order to protect him from being discovered at the "Heaven/Immortal" realm )-- he starts to have some feelings for her - even though he doesn't understand it all. But then he recalls that before he became strong -- his dad/master in the past also force him to have no emotions at all - so that he can become the most powerful one in all 3 realms.

Therefore, in the next episodes - either he gets caught while drifting away from the place or he went back to her. We'll have to wait & see.

Side note: I know some ppl may be annoy of the main FL - but that's technically her character -- she's an innocent/naive/simple-minded/caring/friendly character - she is a fairy that don't have much power/knowledge b/c when she became human by accident -- the roots of hers got damaged - leaving her with very little powers/knowledge to deal with everything. She was also looked down on by many others b/c she's considered a weak one and don't deserve to be in higher position of anything.

Another thing - b/w her and the 2nd ML -- Lord Chenghang (who likes her b/c she rescued him when he got injured 500 yrs ago) and originally praised her -- and then does the opposite - was b/c the 2nd ML - has no choice but to let her go (b/c he's already forced to have an engagement with another fairy instead by his brother the king) -- cause if he doesn't she will suffer the same consequences as the one who lied to the king about the "firefly stone being given to her by him". He knows how dangerous & bad that is -- he doesn't want to ruin the main FL's life - so that's the only way he can do to protect her from danger -- from his brother the king. By faking his feelings for the main FL as being nothing but just a lowly elf - in front of his brother - was the only way to secure her safety. But obviously the main FL doesn't realize this actual truth - also saw and heard the lies he said in front of brother the king and then him leave after saying those hurtful words with tears in his eyes about her. Yet it seems that the main FL didn't catch that part of him. Therefore, their relationship with one another will be full of misunderstandings.

As for Lord Rong Hao - seems like he's not the good Lord anymore - but turned evil one - in front of all he pretends to be the nice/caring person - but in actual fact he's a 2-faced evil person. Definitely cannot be trusted. I think he became like this - is b/c of the 30,000 year ago battle where the lover he loves had died/sacrificed --and he goes & saves her body - as an act of revenge he learn the evil spirits power to revenged for his loved one that got killed on the battlefield - he's so set revenge that he'll do whatever it takes to manipulate/kill anyone in the process that gets in his ways or doesn't do what he told them to do.

Xiao Lan Hua's (main FL) master I believe is the one that Lord Rong Hao loves & who had died in the battle 30,000 years ago to kill off Dong Fang Qing Cang - b/c she sacrificed herself to stop the bloody war from going any longer. But of course Xiao Lan Hua doesn't know this truth and thinks she's just traveling the world and unwilling to return back to Arbiter - where she manages the Destiny books of life of everyone.

Title Immortal Samsara: Part 1 Spoiler
Wow, oh wow, the last couple of episodes had me all over the place. -- well here's my 2-cents worth of insight/observations from this drama for ep 26 & 27:

Read at your own risk:

YD - TZ = well as you all said they seem sweet whenever they are not around TZ's master/leader...so annoyed with that stupid 'no love/emotion" rule. argh.... Fxxx that. excuse my language. Anyhow - those sweet moments they had, from in TZ room and First senior visit -- and asking YD to go with him around outside -- and then it downpoured -- and TZ rescues her sort of... Then the campfire scene -- TZ telling a ghost story which ended up them kissing each other by accident; to YD giving TZ an excuse to make up for the punishment he got and he rescues her during the fight b/w devils and the LX sect. After that YD wants to heal his injuries but he refuses her and then TZ giving her some medicine to take (spoon-feeding her) -- so sweet.

TZ vs YM - sigh when they came across each other - they went full heads on battling each other which annoyed YD -- she took off to do some random stuff and then gets captured by the evil lamp person...argh which turned YD into her original form. So sad. Why oh why did YD's sis have to leave her memories intact?!? Should've erased it completely before chucking her down to the mortal world. Ultimate fail. This will make YD suffer some more again b/c of this mistake her sis made. Sigh...super annoyed and want to zap her from the screen or have TZ put her into the bottle of his for capturing devils. Cause that evil lamp lady deserves it! She's not pure nor deserves to be in heaven again!

AX and Dragon Princess - sigh...these two don't belong together. AX is quite evil in so many ways -- he wants to kill Yumo no matter what. It's insane...and this hurts D.P. heart. He literally is controling her and torturing her -- plus in some ways jealous of her b/c she likes Y.M too.

Still not starting the adventure .... to open Kunlun Mountains☹️... need to be more patient and patient .....
He needs to retrieve things - the Soul Pursuit artifacts in order to be able to open Kunlun Mountains. Without them he can't do so. As well, he's also looking for a certain book to help him understand how those 5 Soul Pursuit artifacts can open Kunlun Mountains too. They are sort of starting it already - now that they are packed and leaving Shanghai by car to go to different places.
On Lost in the Kunlun Mountains Aug 6, 2022
Well, after DYQ announced that the Penta-sect be disbanded -- this has caused an uproar in the martial art community.

Someone among them cannot be trusted - it could be LYS, it could be ZQH, it could be Commander Hu or it could be someone else. Someone framed DYQ already about one of the stolen Soul Pursuit order - already taken away from the "Mountain sect" (?) --and blame/frame it on DYQ that he took it from them already. One of my biggest suspicion is that LYS took it b/c he was in the city of Tianqin already before DYQ was there. He could've faked it all so that he can eventually have the control of accessing Kunlun - esp since he seems so easily compliant of when DYQ said I am in-charge, etc. I find that LYS is very sketchy there. But on the otherhand it could be someone from Commander Hu side that took it or it could also be from Ms. Ding too - b/c how many ppl knew that he, DYQ would make the move to go to Tianqin to retrieve the Soul Pursuit Order on the day he snuck out of the city.

Then again, DYQ did make a public announcement that he will disband the Penta-sect and wants to open Kunlun Mountains -- there are a lot of people unknown that could be after it too. But the biggest suspicion is still LYS - b/c he has a lot of knowledge about the Penta-sect somehow all these years too. Whether he is trustworthy or reliable or loyal is another question to be seen in the future episodes. Let the guessing game of who is the "real enemy" against DYQ - as I feel even WS can't be trust b/c of ZQH request that she gives him intel about what DYQ is up to. Whether or not she will follow thru with it or not is another matter. Not sure how DYQ feels to have her around him too - I mean he does like her and she likes him - but to be put into a position which manipulates their trust b/w each other -- I honestly don't really like it at all. Guess we'll wait and see how it goes.

As for Fengling - now I feel I cannot really trust her -- or more like she's turning jealous over him for things that aren't supposed to be -- esp in terms of the word "power" and WS. I feel like she can't be trusted either in some ways too...her agenda is definitely not clear but the biggest thing set in her mind -- "revenge for her bro that died" and Kunlun Mountains "so-called power/things in it".
Replying to MTSS_2022 Aug 5, 2022
I mean 1 flop drama out of 10 dramas where he's a main role ain't bad statistically wise cuz his 9 other dramas…
Agree with you "zineaera" and well-said!! Dramas are never a flop - that's only on your own preceived mindset and fake judgement -- referring to "MTSS_2022" comment above here. Like others said -- too many dramas are released every quarter and for this drama to be ranked 3rd place on the charts (not thru cheating in pushing up the ranking, etc...is really a huge feat in itself. As well, yes - this drama has a very sensitive topic and cannot be promote like all other dramas out there too.

Everyone's taste of what type of drama/movie they like to watch is different. There's no such thing as a flop. All the cast members, directors, and crew put a lot of work into this drama and the other many dramas out there. All of them should deserve some sort of respect one way or another. If you "MTSS_2022" have not watch this drama - and just went on ahead complaining about it - sorry, that's just not fair for the drama itself. Please don't judge a drama but it's cover or other ppl's so-call "ranking/poor judgements"...b/c that's not fair to the drama itself at all.

To all "negative/quick judgers of the drama" --->
I've made it clear in my other posts - if you didn't put time to watch it and only follow the negative fake comments/viewership of the drama -- than I'd say you are missing out or probably it's not your "cup of tea" choice of drama to watch. No need to bash the drama at all without due diligence of giving the drama a chance to be watched and reviewed properly. Same goes for reading a book -- you can't really tell if a books is a good read just by looking at it's cover and say this one must be good/bad because of what others say it is. You need to put the effort and real energy to read some of it before making a comment/statement about it. So, same goes with a drama/movie. Ratings/other people's comments (good or bad) should not have an influence to you - to say if it's worth it to watch or not.

For me, I give a lot of dramas and movies a chance. There are a lot of "so-called negative comments" about certain dramas/movies out there that people say are "bad"...until I really put an effort into watching it - with deep meaning behind the words they say, actions (body language) and understanding the in between the unspoken words b/w characters - then I can tell if it's a good drama or not to watch. B/c it is then that I can acknowledge the real storyline that they author/director wants us to see - and give my true feedback to it all.

Only on ep 3 and WS disappointed me when she gave up what DYQ gave her....so i stopped watching for now Lol ummm…
No he outsmarted them and if you watch more - he will do a lot of things that will surprise you. Also, please don't be disappointed with WS - she had no choice under those circumstances they were in at the time the cops came over to the Penta-sect place. She just wants to insure that the safety of her sect members and her master too at that time. Some times in life you have to looks at the bigger picture to resolve some issues - not everything is predictable or set on revenge only.
On To Be a Brave One Aug 5, 2022
Title To Be a Brave One Spoiler
My 2-cents worth so far of what I've watched of this drama (which for me...I only got to ep 31).

Read at your own discretion:

An Yu - Ok, do not under-estimate her as the main FL here. After so got out of prison - she had her insecurities at first and super cautious of who she becomes friends with. Over time, she trusts the main ML - Shao Mo Li - b/c everything that he has done for her from beginning to the current episode that I've watch - he's there to protect her/watch over her/love her/support her, etc. Once they are together - the remain together. Shao Mo Li was the boy she once saved when he was young and when he grew up, he has his heart set for her. He would never desert her or give up on her - despite her insecurities and lack of trust at the beginning of their friendship -> lover later. There are no triangle relationships - despite everyone stating that she has. Which is untrue. She made it clear to the ex-husband with Shao Mo Li that she never loved him after she was discharged from prison. She only met with him b/c of their child (being the biological mom of Yiyi) is the one whom she had lost custody over these years - from when she went to prison and left afterwards. She became stronger over time and became a winner at a boxing tournament - which helped her make a very importand decision about selling her shares (stocks of Zhouyue) - in the end she didn't agree with selling them and that's a wise decision to do so - as she put so much energy in the company and originally the company was her dad's too. Therefore, I see her mature a lot over time, becomes smarter and wiser too with the support from Shao Mo Li from behind.

Shao Mo Li - His maturity is so much stronger than An Yu's ex-husband. He is so skilled at dealing with matters that at times he seems invincable -- but that's all due to those years when he was younger and got bullied at the orphanage. Only when he met An Yu and got saved by her did he changed afterwards. He went abroad and became a very skilled businessman - who can win matters given to him with swift investigations with his right-hand man - Ye Kai.

Ex-husband of A.Y. aka Zhou Yuan (but in actual fact his real name is Xiao Yong) - has from beginning up to episode 31 been set on "the so-called revenge" on "all who he thought killed his father and eventually his mom too". It's kinda sad that his brain is wired the wrong way and reluctant to acccept the truth. First, he took his revenge on An Yu's dad - which lead to his imprisonment and eventually An Yu's dad died of a heart attack in prison - which in his mindset thinks it was the right thing to do. Even though he felt no remorse from beginning until the end of episode 31 - when he did find out the "real truth behind his dad's death - which actually his dad was the weak one - he owe a lot of debt in the past -- since his dad couldn't handle it anymore - therefore jumping to his death from their apt in the past - and landed in front of him when he was a child. Naturally speaking as his son - this truth never came to light until many years later - when An Yu was helping Shao move to her place and a letter was found in the book in her storage room area of the apt. " Therfore, no one actually made Z.Y dad died - his dad actually really commited suicide. But b/c the truth came out later - the damage that he had been done to everyone all these years lead to nothing in return.

Mr. Lin - I honestly don't know if we want to trust him - at times he seems nice but I think he's playing dirty - in terms of greediness too - esp when he want to take over Yimi corporation and also had been make some ppl in the company lose their jobs too b/c of his greediness. As well, like Shao said to him - when are you using A.Y to manipulate the matters b/w the 2 of them (ex-husband and her) - tell her to use this opportunity to take revenge for her father against Zhou Yan. Somehow, I think Mr. Lin is a very sketchy and untrustworthy person at all still. I shall see how that will play out in the last 5 episodes of this drama - sooner or later.

Lailai (best friend of A.Y) - from beginning up till now - Lailai has been loyal to An Yu thru certain circumstance to met, they lived together and work together all these times too. I'm glad she's one of the bubbly type of personality - who is willing to stick by An Yu through thick and thin times of her life - after they start working together at Zhouyue. What's even cooler is that she's to be married to Ye Kai soon too - after they had their up/dpwns in their relationship -but in the end they are officially together - and got engaged too. Lailai also worked hard to get to where she is today in the company of Zhouyue too.

As for the other characters & their side stories - makes the story a lot more interesting too. Anyhow, these are my 2-cents worth of observation/opinion of this drama. In summary - revenge doesn't resolve anything and could lead to irreversible consquences in the end. Best way is to really learn the truth and nothing but the truth. Let go and treat others around you better. Move on and don't hold onto any grudges at all.
On Lost in the Kunlun Mountains Aug 5, 2022
My 2-cents worth of ep 17 & 18 - and the drama thus far observations:

Well, well, well...
***Viewer: Read at your own discretion and please do not criticize me/blame me on things that you have read here. As I did warn y'all these are my observations on most of the key characters of this drama thus far from the beginning till the end of episode 18. Another note, if you ever plan to watch a drama - please watch the drama more than just a few minutes before judging it. Don't say it's a "bad drama" without watching furthermore into the story/drama itself. Some dramas needs time to start the "real/important story" itself. Watching only a few minutes means nothing at all. Cause that's literally telling me you are just "drama hopping" and go + criticize a drama - b/c it doesn't meet "your so-called standards/expectations/criterias/type of dramas either". I'm sorry to say it bluntly here - If you don't like the story at all (esp the type of drama style) - then don't bother commenting that it's bad...or whatnot about it... etc -- move on and keep your nonsense comments to yourself! The actors/actresses/directors/story-drama writers put a lot of time, energy, efforts into producing such a large scale drama like this one! They don't need to be "disrepected/criticize by YOU who only just watched a "few minutes" of the drama and say it's "BAD"! Making other viewers who haven't even watch it - to not watch it b/c of YOUR unfair judgement on the drama as a whole! YOU didn't even put enough TIME/ENERGY OR EFFORT into "REALLY WATCHING THE DRAMA" to know or understand what the story is truly about. IF YOU ONLY WATCH JUST A FEW MINUTES OF IT AND SAY IT'S BAD -- THEN MOVE ON AND LEAVE NO COMMENTS HERE or on any other dramas that were treated the same way because they don't deserve your unnecesssary criticisms at all. ONLY those who put more time into it and have spent a great deal of watch a handful of episodes and feel its not good then they can comment. But not those who only watched the drama by just a few minutes. Cause there's nothing in it to see. You barely even CONSIDERED TO HAVE WATCHED THE DRAMA AT ALL! Excuse my "frustrations/anger here" - as that's really making me fume when ppl says a drama "is bad/horrible" b/c "I only watched a few minutes and then dropped it". Well good for you -- move on and don't need to leave message here to discourage others from watching the drama. Finally, before reading further on my opinions -- YOU THE VIEWER DECIDE IF IT'S WORTH YOUR TIME TO WATCH IT OR NOT. DON'T LET OTHERS MANIUPULATE YOU IN BELIEVING THAT A DRAMA IS NOT WORTH WATCHING UNTIL YOU HAVE WATCHED IT YOURSELF! Therefore, what I wrote here is at your own discretion to read it or not my opinions/observations of this drama thus far*

DYQ - he now knows that he cannot rely or trust ZQH. As ZQH is mentally unstable and stubborn as crazy on keeping the Penta-Sect going forward. Calling DYQ's dad a traitor - and as DYQ was about the leave in the ending scene of ep 18, he wants to make the Penta-Sect fight him once gain. Whether DYQ will leave unscath from this fight that ZQH suddenly call upon - to go against him will be a tough battle he doesn't want to deal with. Aside from that it, DYQ's dad did say it was his choice on how to handle the matters after his death in regards to the Kunlun Mountains and disbanding the Penta-sect...is a difficult task for DYQ to take on - esp when he doesn't want to be the Heavenly Official, only to just fulfill his dad's last wishes before he died.

WS - is ultimately not cautious of what she says to ZQH - she just spits everything out to him without due diligence - and to me, I really don't like this part of her...again in this story - you think she'd be smarter - but no -- she's another naive one. Since she spilled the beans to ZQH - it gives him more info to try to track and destroy anyone and everyone that gets in his way to get to the Kunlun Mountains. ZQH is another greedy and selfish person. In my opinion - he doesn't really completely care for his ppl - including WS. If he did truly care, he wouldn't send her to marry DYQ - cause doing so, eventually will kill her like how DYQ's mom died in the past. WS definitely still don't understand the huge consequences if she goes and marries DYQ - if he became an Heavenly Official. There's no such thing as a "real home". Home = death

LYS - he's still stubborn as crazy and set on revenge as always. He still doesn't believe DYQ dad's words b/c he was late and wasn't there to hear the truth from him before he (DYQ dad) passed away from the injuries he sustained. He so hung up on revenge - that he wants everyone dead -- blaming them all for his family members death. Including the recent family members death (his brother).

FengLing - She's also set on somewhat a revenge mindset too - but firmly set on finding Kunlun Mountains too - but for a different purpose than that of DYQ. I feel a sense of distrust from her too and I'm glad that DYQ decides to not get involved with her in finding Kunlun Mountain -- as there's a huge risk to them both. As her brother is still hugely set on revenging for his family members death - which includes indirectly blaming DYQ for it all too,

ZQH - definitely one person you don't want to mess with or be connected with - what he says and do are 2 different things - he's completely two-faced and untrustworthy - he's hung up on keeping the Penta-sect together - b/c he wants to take control of the "Kunlun Mountains" stuff that's been hidden and invisible to all - these years. He'll go to the extremes to get what he wants and willing to so-call used the Penta-sect in the wrong way for his selfish desires and control -- and willing to sacrifice/kill anyone that goes against what he thinks is the right way of doing things. As soon as DYQ announced that he wants to disband the Penta-sect on behalf of his dad -- he refuses and goes crazy -- calling DYQ's dad a traitor -- and now he also wants to kill DYQ on the spot too b/c DYQ doesn't want to be the Heavenly Official nor does he want to keep the Penta-sect intact. This is where I see that he is mentally unstable and dangerous to all who goes against his mindset. My biggest bet is that he was the one behind LYS family members death including his parents, one younger sister and brother too. As well as the one who injured DYQ's dad too months beforehand indirectly through Commander Hu's greediness of things as always. He calls all the other separate "sects" - who hasn't met together for a long time - all "traitors" and wants to "purge" them all. Therefore, he's super determine to be in super control of the whole "Penta-sect".

Commander Hu - I bet my money on this person - for the one injuring DYQ's dad and making DYQ dad as the scapegoat for all things that were taken from the tomb of many emperors of the past. He's the one whose super greedy for anything and everything related to the Kunlun Mountains. Nothing can get past him.

Unknown upper person -- "Her Ladyship". There's not much details thus far other than that's she powerful enough to control all matters at stake - including people's lives too. So far we haven't seen any real signs of who she is and what she looks like either.

Ms. Cui - Her background is super complicated - as she's somewhat related to Commander Hu but at the same time she's a member of the "mover" sect too. What she said about the missing true leader of the "mover" sect, and the "mountain" sect has me wondering how much truth is she telling there. We do know that the "mover" sect is much more powerful than the others thus far aside from the Penta-sect themselves. How much trust can we get out of her is hard to know - we do know one thing -- and that is she is loyal to the "Heavenly Official" leader - whoever that may be in the past/present/future.

Sun San Xuan - being in charge of the "Gold Touching" sect (but he's only a representative leader of the group) - again his "master" has been missing for 10 years and when DYQ was hoping to get the special 5 sects "Soul Pursuit Order", he couldn't give it to him b/c his master has disappear and haven't been found for over 10 years. Which made DYQ even sadder/disappointed by this news b/c this will make it harder for him to complete the "mission/task" at hand of opening the "Kunlun Mountains" wherever that may be.

The servant following DYQ is really not helpful nor super wise at all. He's definitely super immature and naive on everything he sees or do. Gets scaried easily and talks nonsense a lot of time too.

Now the relationship b/w the 2 ML - will WS protect DYQ this time around - when ZQH sent out the command to have the Penta-sect member gather together or will she hurt him once again like she did somewhat at the beginning of the drama in episode 1? Will she let him off? Will she remain loyal to him or go against him - is the matter of time in the upcoming episodes to come. DYQ did give her a chance to join him in the hunt for the Kunlun Mountains together as he does like her - but she turned him down b/c she's stubbornly still mad at him for not taking her as "his wife -- via being a Heavenly Official member". As well she is partially too hung up on their "so-called engagement/potential marriage" thing/matter too. Can't think outside the box of what is actually "good for her and their chances of a future together".

I agree with DYQ - the Penta-sect should be disabanded - cause their rules/regulations/traditions are not good and old-fashioned. Times are changing -- people need to change too at the same time, otherwise they cannot keep up and be left out. As well, if someone doesn't follow the rules they are considered traitors and must be killed is even more ridiculous and outrageous.

Kunlun Mountains - should really not exist -- b/c that has destroyed many families' lives -- and has lead to countless deaths/greed/foolishness/selfishness of people - b/c those who don't know about it think it's all about "money, power, etc" - when it's not just all of that to it.

Well, that's my 2-cents worth of observations from this drama thus far of all the key characters that matter the most in this drama.

How is Lost in Kunlun Mountains? I heard there were a lot of editing issues for the first few episodes. Has that…
Yes, definitely give it somee time to watch them both before deciding if a story/drama is worth to watch or not.

The first few minutes of lost in kunlun were so bad I dropped it. I’m also watching IS
that's where you are judging the drama by it's cover without putting more effort into actually watching the drama - to really know if it's good or not. Therefore, I disagree with your method in watching any drama - you don't give it enough time to play out the story - to see if it's good or not. That's why a lot of ppl are missing out on good dramas - b/c they don't know how to watch them properly to give a proper evaluation of it. Don't criticize something just by a few minutes. That's literally not worth telling others if the drama is good or bad!!

How is Lost in Kunlun Mountains? I heard there were a lot of editing issues for the first few episodes. Has that…
Actually I am enjoying Lost in Kunlun Mountains and also Immortal Samsara. Both have very interesting stories to them. Those who only watched just a little bit of each drama should not say anything - b/c they did not put enough time and effort in actually trying to understand the story at all. Therefore, my 2-cents of input here is - go watch it for yourself. Don't go judging a drama without watching more than 10 episodes before deciding if the drama is good or not. It's like picking up a book - you can't judge whether a story is good or not just by looking at it's cover. You need to dived deeper into the actual story to really decide if it's good or not.

have you seen the trailers for 37 and 38?It appears that LBY has the prince publicity flogged because of it, and…
Who is breaking up with the Empress?!? The Crown Princess or CSS? I'm confused.
On Lost in the Kunlun Mountains Aug 4, 2022
My 2-ccents take on ep 15 & 16: Viewer reading discretion advise (read at your own risk/choice) - do not bash me for my observations that i've notice in the drama.

WS & DYQ - The reason why WS is so stuck on the fact of "engagement" with the Dragon thing was the original partial purpose of it as per Penta-Sect history. DYQ unbeknowst got it & then suddenly gave it to her - when under capture by both the police & the Penta-Sect at the beginning - was what made his so confused about it -- which makes sense b/c he was away from Shanghai for almost 6+ years. He has no interest of becoming the Heavenly official over the Kunlun Mountain thing and if he became one -- the relationship b/w the 2 will not be good - cause at one point or another WS has to be sacrifice/killed like his mom did in the past. He likes her but can't accept her properly b/c of this fact. WS only came to realize how serious this issue was at DYQ dad's funeral on the water/raft from Ms. Cui who explained most of the things that happened in the past related to DYQ's mom and now at his dad's funeral too. Actually to those who thinks DYQ doesn't like her - he does like/care about her - but he's not wanting to marry her now b/c of the "Dragon Bone" thing and the Heaven Official title too - b/c those 2 items are the ones that killed her mom too as well. Plus all these times he was focused on trying to find his dad - who has been missing for a period of time until almost the end of episode 16 that he shows up to clarify somethings to him before he (his dad) dies from the injuries sustained in the past.

DYQ & LYS - the hatred/revengeful mindset of LYS - towards DYQ's dad is harsh towards him too. As LYS definitely doesn't know the truth about it. Not only that - we come to see that he missed to opportunity to hear the truth from DYQ's dad - before he passed away b/c he was pre-occupied with his bro's death too. Whether or not LYS will ever learn the truth of how his family died in the past will be another mystery that needs solving. But my 2-cents guess like others is that the Penta-sect leader - aka ZQH is behind it all. Cause it was so obvious that ZQH doesn't like LYS either all these years and wants to take him out so many times (kill him). ZQH said so himself when he visited LYS' home. DYQ learned about the truth that his dad was not the mastermind of killing LYS' family (parents and his other younger sister).

DYQ & his dad - this is the saddest part of the whole story thus far. DYQ had been looking for his dad for almost over a year (or was it 6 months) in Shanghai. While all this time his dad was on an island - barely escaping death to go find him months later - telling him some of the truth of the questions his why trying to find out - esp 1: Who was mastermind in wanting to kill his dad (the military official)? 2. Where in the world was the Kunlun Mountains? His dad said it exisit - he's been looking for it --- for many years but still yet to find it -- b/c it was lost in the process generations before it got to him. His dad actually wants to find it and return it back to the country (it's ppl) and disband the Penta-sect, but haven't been able to do so - no proper clues about it. His dad thought he had some leads but in the end fail to show up and hence why he was almost killed in the process of it all. So, sad to have DYQ see his dad in the final last 2 days & hours leading up to his death due to the injuries he had sustain from that "blast" that almost killed him by the "unknown military officer". My guess is that Commander Hu is behind his almost impending death (or by someone even higher up). Another thing that is sadder was the fact that before his dad passed away - his dad saw vision of his mom in a red dress and commented that she was still beautiful even until his passing away. Which made DYQ cried and the others in the room too. His time with his dad was definitely too short in the end.

One cliffhanger note here: Towards the end of ep 16 - the so called stick that he had put on the raft suddenly after the raft was lit on fire - to send his dad to heaven -- somehow "fireworks" came out of the stick and DYQ notices this problem and trying to bring his dad funeral raft back to shore to investigate it...is my guess at what's he going to do next -- in the next episode of this drama. Something is definitely up-to-no -good and DYQ doesn't like it.

Another note - it's interesting that all who is after DYQ knows where he lives and can go freely in/out his place - even if he set up a trap there/warning signal of impending danger approaching, Basically DYQ has no privacy/secret place to hide from those who are his enemies at all. It seems like everyone is on a watch over him -- both good/bad.

Romance - not sure if there'll be any real romance b/w the 2 leads - as the main focus is really about the "Kunlun Mountains" and all the mystery behind it -- and why are there so many greedy people trying to take it away from him all these times too. Either way - we'll just have to wait & watch more to see how this will affect their future relationship with one another.
On Love Like the Galaxy: Part 2 Aug 4, 2022
My take on ep 35 & 36 (Oops, sorry too much spoiler made here. :P - read at your own discretion & don't complained to me that I spoiled the drama episodes to you all -- as these are all my interpretation/understanding of the story/drama thus far. Happy reading if you want to know about the story from my point of view/observations. Don't read them - if you don't want to be spoiled by me. No insults thrown my way. It's all my own opinions/observations that I have got from these 2 episodes. )

**Viewers/Readers: Read at your own discretion! No bashing back at me for them**

CSS - LBY: She makes food for him & gives it to him thru a servant -- after their special court meeting.

CSS - Wang Ling: what she (CSS) does to help indirectly for the the Wang family. She took a huge risk to serve food to the Emperor that is related to Shouchun. The Emperor knew something was up and so CSS told him the truth in a simple way to help the situation partially (in a way - allow the Emperor to not kill Madam Wen Xiu b/c CSS stated that this matter also affected the Empress' health a lot when she got the news of the impeding death penalty for Madam Wen Xiu -- cause the Empress'...despites holding back when insulted by Madam Wen Xiu -- still treats her as an old friend; therefore, this made the Emperor re-think about the capital punishment and let off Madam Wen Xiu with just only house arrest for the rest of her life instead). Although CSS did that for them, it was risky task, but then again that's her personality. She wants to make sure the Empress' health always remains well.

Wang Ling - I actually pity her in some way. Her mother -- Madam Wen Xiu -- is completely parnoid & messed up (hung up on) with the matter of "Qian'an Royalty". To the point where this destroyed their relationship with one another (daughter-mother relationship) and the rest of the family too (Wang Ling's brother & father). This also put her - Wang Ling in a crazy mindset too. Constantly also getting jealous of CSS too.

CSS - the 5th princess + her so-called friends: Really dislike the 5th princess and the others. They are all jealous of CSS relationship with not just LBY but with the Emperor/Empress/Consort Yue. Hence, why they made a trap & push her into the waters and then as CSS was trying to get out/escape - threw in the snakes to bite CSS too. Luckily this time around the 5th princess said the snakes were not poisonous -- but then if it were & CSS did get bitten by a poisonous snake -- I don't think LBY will be happy about it or the rest either. Cause that could really lead to huge uproar in the palace about CSS getting bitten/close to dying situation. LBY will then definitely investigate immediately and punish them severely. CSS - after escaping that near-death experience, I think at the banquet later - she somewhat revenge slightly back against the 5th princess - esp when she fell down during her dance performance. By entering to the center-point & bringing with her...LBY to present a rare gift to the Empress at the banquet to change the topic quicker.

CSS - Empress: Their relationship getting closer & closer as time goes by -- to the point where CSS hasn't been back to her home for a long time -- partially due to organizing the birthday banquet - but also because she feels the motherly love from the Empress cause the Empress taught her many things & made her understand more things - in terms of not being jealous of LBY - when the Emperor praises & give him the reward - for what she (CSS) has made - dessert wise for the Empress to eat & the Emperor + LBY too. The Empress made her realize that whatever is rewarded to LBY will also be hers too. The Empress also told her to stop her mindset of thinking that what LBY is getting credit for is not hers in the first place -- when actually it's for them both and that she needs to be humble about & not get jealous of it all. Which really made CSS be enlightened by the behind meaning of what the Empress said to her of the Emperor's reward to LBY.

LBY - CSS family: When he shows up to the dinner of CSS family without CSS -- and the family asking where CSS is. LBY told them that she's busy and that he'll take some of her stuff to the palace on her behalf. The family agree to his request, but what shocked them was the fact he actually had his military team take everything to the palace instead which made CSS family standing in disbelief. (here's where I actually laugh so much on)

CSS - She's definitely very skillful in making many things - whether it be food or artwork or other mechanics -- she can definitely get it done and she doesn't hide them -- she shows them off to the Empress, Emperor, LBY and of course to everyone else eventually to at the Empress birthday banquet. Aside from that, she is very revengeful to those who bullied her/embarrass her or tries to hurt her. Let alone protect those she loves & cares for.

CSS & the 5th prince: Now this is interesting b/c the 5th princess wanted to trap her & make it look like they were in a "indecent relationship" with one another. But unbeknownst to the 5th princess - the trap that she thought she made for CSS to fall into -- did not work out (and this will definitely be revealed in ep 37 most likely). Why did it not happen - well CSS made the 5th prince fall into the water & she poked fun of him while he was complaining that he couldn't swim & she pretending to save him... anyways, long story short -- the 5th prince pull himself up on the shore opposite of her & they had a deep talk about things - where both CSS & the 5th prince can relate to one another - in the end becoming "friends" too from it -- I'm certain this will save both CSS & the 5th prince being in trouble - and possibly resolve this conflict in the next episode.

The palace maids - are the worst gossipers/problem ppl ever - they make the princesses or others that they serve under get jealous of CSS - even though originally Lady Lou didn't completely dislike her that much - but b/c of those palace maids of the other princesses/including the one serving Lady Lou make her rethink about how she feels about CSS - it really does get ugly down the road.

CSS-LBY: They are definitely getting better with one another - and LBY praising her just after she fell into the water (well more like he didn't know that had happened yet) when coming over to visit her - it was sweet yet painful for CSS to hear b/c of what she just experience before he came to her side. That's why in the process of it -- she broke down and cry super hard in his embrace (kept telling him to hug her real tight more & more until she said stop b/c it was too tight she can barely breath). When LBY asked her what's wrong -- why she was crying -- she obviously in some ways didn't want to tell the truth b/c she wanted to resolve/revenge the problem on her own. So, all she said was "i'm just super homesick now"....which I'm certain LBY can sense that she's not telling the truth - but didn't push it too much. But when she continue with the words of asking him to teach her how to defend for her self against those who bully her - he begins to suspect something more serious was wrong/happened to her. Especially, when she said "What if someone bullies me, at least I can protect myself" and then he said "I'm here for you, no one can hurt you"...But her response was "What if you are not there for me? Can you teach me how to protect myself?" -- then LBY step away from her and looked into her eyes (thinking there must be something really wrong with her tonight) -- then asked the question "What do you want to learn then?" With that CSS said "Well, what if someone ambushes you from behind and shoves you like this... what would you do?" --In the process of demonstrating how to protect herself from danger - they fell into her bed & at one point again asked her what's wrong -- she avoided answering him again truthfully - and instead changed the topic & ask him to promise her one thing -- which of course that was to play the zither for the Empress on the birthday banquet. Which also made the Emperor happy too -- at that time. Still, I think - my take on this exchange b/w the 2 - LBY has his suspicions already in his mind even though CSS didn't tell him the truth both times. Cause I can see it in his eyes -- he knew something as really wrong with what happen to CSS to make her cry so much and hard too.

The Empress birthday banquet - CSS did well in making the banquet go smoothly and even when the two - Crown Prince & Crown Princesses gifts where overly "costly" - CSS stepped up and made some comments on the fact what they were drinking/eating was actually from Crown Prince's homeland/farm -- making the Emperor praise the Crown Prince instead of feeling ashamed/disgusted of them for what they have done. CSS also somewhat step up again when the 5th Princesses making a huge mistake in her dance performance...in order to distract the Emperor for what had happened she took the opportunity to have LBY bring the rare gift (that of the writing from Grand Duke Xian) that he had found for the Empress - so the moment wouldn't be so awkward in the Grand Hall.

CSS - LBY showing affection towards each other at the banquet -- now that's call super sweet -- esp when LBY asked her why she wasn't drinking the wine -- and then her response/action was taking his cup & drinking from it. After the initial shock/recovery from her actions LBY happily comply and continue to do the same back & forth. Lastly before CSS took off from the banquet - she lightly kisses him on the side of his face, which made LBY shocked/surprised/smiled all at the same time and also made the others at the banquet jealous of him - esp Y.S. and the 3rd Prince and the rest too.

Last but not least - as you all know - the cliffhanger part -- the servant of Lady Lou suddenly rushing in - while Lady Lou was approaching LBY at the same time asking for a drink with her b/c she'll be marrying off soon --> announcing the indect thing that CSS did with the 5th Prince to everyone at the banquet - shocking them all including LBY too. Now my 2-cents worth of a guess for the next episode - LBY getting angry & storming off to find out the truth from CSS with hot pursuit of the Emperor/Empress and everyone else behind him -- which could lead to a fight b/w LBY & CSS at the same time. Or LBY shaking off the information and calling his 2 trustworthy men to bring the 2 in to find out the real truth from them both in front of everyone. In the process Crown Prince will spill out the real truth to all and those who originally hurt CSS will be punished/held accountable for their wrongs. Or if that doesn't happen - LBY will open up an investigation of what happened - as both the 5th Prince & CSS will be locked up by the Emperor and CSS crying for "help/unjustice" for what happened to them both - leading to later on a huge punishment coming out from LBY against those evil princessess b/c he found out the real "truth" as to "why" CSS was crying so badly the night he visited her in the palace in her room with him.

Well, i'll leave it at that -- all my 2-cents worth on the take of episodes 35 & 36. Whether you like it or not - it's up to you on how you interpret my take of what I've learn/watch from these 2 episodes.
On Immortal Samsara: Part 1 Aug 4, 2022
Title Immortal Samsara: Part 1 Spoiler
ep 25 -

haha so cute - TZ (aka YY) is keeping YD from going anywhere - the same way he does when he was in Heaven. He stuck a bracelet on her - to prevent her from leaving him at all. Keeping some distances b/w the two of them, but not letting her wander far away. Even when he brought her to his "Taoist sect" -- he's still controlling her as usual. Despite the fact that she wants to go back to her friends she made including Yumo. Which of course TZ forgot about who he is too.

Another note: During the investigation/fight with Miss Shen - TZ did protect her and she did the same at the same time naturally.

As well, TZ gets jealous easily too -- esp when YD and the First Senior in the Taoist Sect was sharing food & good times with her (crabs) in the kitchen -- and then suddenly he walks over and tells her crack the shells off the crab - so that he can eat the crab meat. Sad in some ways is the fact that he won't let her eat any more crab that night and the next day makes her eat fish - but she doesn't want to eat any b/c of Yumo (her fish friend).

Anyhow - that's my 2-cents worth of feedback on this episode -- too bad today only 1 episode was released and not 2 of them.
On Love Like the Galaxy: Part 2 Aug 3, 2022
Ok...my 2-cents worth here on both ep 33 & 34:

1. CSS & LBY - I'm glad at some point or another they finally had a talk about somethings -- but still not everything. Including about his actual biological mom's issue or about the missing tiger seals, etc. He said he will tell her later after they visit his biological mom - but seems not completely everything. With only CSS guessing as to why his mom act the way she did - when they sort of had a talk under the tree at that place.

2. CSS - The consequence of making the fake tiger seal. I know CSS did try to make one in the spur of the moment -- and in the process LBY found out about it and replaced it with his own real seal similar to the actual main one before the presentation day to the General to lead the troop to war. Good/bad idea - everyone has there own take on it. On the day -- when the other guy demand to have the seal check in front of the Emperor to see if it was real or not, LBY stepped forward and did as he stated he would do. It did stick together and we see CSS sigh a relief - but not before she & LBY exchanged hard glances at each other. LBY - if you can read his body language - was literally telling her -- look how dangerous a thing you could've gotten everyone into & the consequence it came with. Words may not have been spoken between the two about what CSS did & what he did to save her from getting into big trouble. But if you all pay attention to his body language -- in his eyes -- the looks, etc - says it all. She looks back at him - feeling shocked at the same time with an apologetic look at him too to "tell him she was wrong" for what she have done. May be all of you may have overlook this exchange b/w the two - the body language between the two - despite the distance still conveys a lot between them both (hard to see it - but very miniscule yet clearly portrayed by them both.

3. LBY - making it clear to his suboridinates about what he's been doing for CSS in the background -- he loves her & will protect her at all costs - even if CSS do -- do outrageous things in order to protect the ones she cares about the most. Like LBY says - this is what he loves about her - wreakless/stubborn/sometimes naive/strong-will too. He wants CSS to be who she is - even though at times her actions could be wrong too.

4. CSS & LBY - again there are still many things they both need to talk it out with each - and that's about he true past history, the palace politcs, etc. Otherwise, like all says: CSS will get into a lot more trouble in the future if she isn't made aware of them sooner rather than later. LBY is the one bringing her into the royal family and I do hope that he will not make her "sink" in the deep-end on her own to know what's good/bad for her to do/not do.

5.The Empress, the Emperor (who came later after his wife show up to sort out the problem first ) with Consort Yue: was a complete savage near the end of ep 34. No words need to be said about it all. I'm glad they all step in at the right time to get back at "Old Lady Consort" and "Lady Chengyang" their due punishments for insulting/trying to hurt CSS. It's even more satisfying to hear Lord Ruyang - jest at his wife about "dying" and "Old Lady Consort" too. Including himself stating I rather divorce my wife than put up with her pathetic annoying rants towards CSS. More interestingly how Consort Yue & Emperor allowed CSS to speak the truth of how everything actual happened the days before their engagement/wedding banquet at their (CSS) home. Plus the funniest part that made me laugh was when the Emperor suddenly became happy after all that had happened in that room and Lord Ruyang too -- they said let's drink to the happy results of what happened to those 2 vile women.

6. Super happy to see YS back again -- by helping make important statements to those who try to slander behind CSS' back --- including men who are the officials of the court. He was clear savage there too and was right about it. How can some men like those official gossip about CSS like women on the streets - criticizing her and attending CSS & LBY banquet at the same time. So glad that he told them off & made it clear to all standing around including CSS dad, her best friends, etc - how shameful those guys were in saying those aweful words about CSS and be 2-faced about it all. That definitely made a huge "statement" to everyone standing there - do not do the same thing as these two guys did, otherwise you will depart the same way they did too.

7. CSS mom & her best friend Wan QiQi - although CSS & her mom at times may not see eye to eye on things b/c - CSS mom abandoned her when she was young. CSS mom still defends her daughter no matter what when someone else tries to insult/hurt s her - b/c CSS mom knows better from what is actually right/wrong in those particular moments. Also, same goes to Wan QiQi for stepping up for her best friend & defending her too - by slapping others' faces or saying the necessary things to make things right about what CSS has done. They're both savage women to not mess with either - aside from the Empress & Consort Yue.

Well, that roughly sums it up for the 2 episodes released. My 2-cents worth of input - you agree or disagree with it all. It your choice.
On Immortal Samsara: Part 1 Aug 3, 2022
Title Immortal Samsara: Part 1 Spoiler
So, now TZ (aka YY) is with YD - but obviously he's still don't have much a complete memory of her. Only in his dreams, at the Shen Manor (where they are trying to deal with the bad demon) does he sees her. But he's not sure why he sees her in his dreams or when he touches her too. But either way, he still protects her somewhat despite the dislike they encounter with each other the 3rd time as he captures her and stick her in the "demon catching bottle of his". Eventually, she got out and stay out b/c someone try to steal the "bottle" from his while he was unconscious due to "sleeping pills". She asked him to stay out from the bottle by helping him gather info of the bad "demons" and fight with him together somehow - seems like she has a heart to help him despite of the "not so-good encounter" with him before. I guess you can say she's loyal to those who she believes she can be loyal too - as usual YD is always talkative and curious about things - which in turn can lead her into trouble or help him solve some problems too.

Either way they are together b/c of usual "controlling" personality that he still has - from when he was in Heaven before -- same kind of treatment of her but this time the mortal world it's a bit different as he's a demon hunter and she's a Flower Lotus spirit (but not a complete one). She's the more persistent one of exploring all curious things in life - b/c she wants to write the best "famous playright" to will make everyone around the world know her works. Which surprisingly is her original personality - goal/dream that she had when she was in Heaven too. That's why Yumo likes her that way.

For TZ (aka YY) - even though he may have forgotten YD - when his memories got destroyed in the process of going to the mortal realm & someone is hunting him too - his heart (which he originally locked his true memories of her) still knows who she is. It does make him feel confuse at times - and hopefully sooner or later - those memories that are locked away will reveal itself to him once & for all. For better/worst - to him.

As for Yumo is trying to track her down - b/c of YD's sudden disappearance from his life once again - he goes to the ends of world to find her again. To him, YD is the one he loves too. Despite the denial in front of her as always, he's will track her down no matter what - even risking his life as usual for her.

Argh...why do I have to see a trailer of ep 27...the evil curator has to encounter YD in the mortal realm. YD sis fail at her revenge -- should've erased that evil curator's memories - not keep them. Now the evil curator has to treat her horribly again in the mortal realm too. She should be locked away in the bottle of TZ (aka YY) as a punishment & turned into an elixir pill instead. That evil curator never learns & constantly jealous of YD no matter where she is. I want to hit that person a thousand times with either Yumo or TZ attacking her and getting rid of her once & for all properly. Stupid sis of YD has to keep her memories -- should have erase them completely & truly make her suffer properly and also not allow her to have any power at all too in the mortal realm.

Anyways, that's what I have observed in the latest 2 episodes of this drama - ep 23 & 24. My 2-cents worth of input.
