"An osmantus cake and an oil paper umbrella held in memory over the years. If fate hadn't played a trick, we'd be together enjoying the prosperity of the world." (Famous phrase from the novel portraying Luo Zi Shang's feeling for Liu Yuru, what she means to him). I, on the other hand, I can't forget about Luo Zi Shang (Liu Xue Yi) anymore. This poetic phrase from the original novel that fans repeat so often is in my mind strengthening the character and giving meaning to Liu Xue Yi's interpretation: The osmantus cake on his desk. The stones he'd given her as soon as they found (wanting her to remember) him like the promise he'd made as a child. It happened as he imagined as a child (that she would forget about him), if that meeting in the past had happened. The night his grandfather arrested him, and right after that there was the fire in which his mother died. How am I going to forget? 1-The actor; 2-The character I had studied his parts of the novel before. She forgot about him so deeply, that even though she went into the tree's hiding place and found the stones he left, she couldn't remember. So, every time they meet in the episodes, as a viewer, I'm realizing: He remembers her, she can't remember, nor will she remember. There's a scene where he's talking to Xifeng, the owner of the casino, and there he kind of explains, it's like Yu Ru in his heart is the lock that prevents him from fully becoming a monster. He explains that the fact that he saved Xifeng years ago was because he met Yu Ru one day. The scene is happening and I'm connecting the dots. What does that mean for this character in his development until the last episode of the drama arrives. I want to watch and enjoy. Although I know it will be tragic. It was designed that way.

In a way, indeed, there is a love triangle.When you get to episode 13, in Luo Zi Shang's story, you'll understand…

Is there a love triangle? Any spoilers? If there's no love triangle, I'll watch it.
In a way, indeed, there is a love triangle. When you get to episode 13, in Luo Zi Shang's story, you'll understand what I mean. (but it's not explicit), and it doesn't hurt the relationship between the main couple. ps: Love Tringle happens when there is more than one suitor throughout the plot. And this is in the novel. Even if the other side doesn't want it and nothing happens, it can still be considered a Love Triangle.
I don't think I've seen anything like this. What do you mean?
At the time the scene took place, at first glance it would seem that the true hero is Sheng Ming, but looking at the details we understand that the main trigger of the facts was Gu Jiu Si.Gu Jiu Si took a risk first by appearing before the bandits alone, using only his arguments against the bandit. P.S: But Sheng Ming was also interested in helping the main couple. That is true.
You are right its not wuxia. Its a business/kingdom building story. The first arc was how they got married with…
The novel is written from her point of view, but...she's a brain. But...on the other hand there is a warrior woman, even dressed in armor in one of the behind scenes and in trailer 1. She is Zhou Ye's darling. He said in one episode that this is the type of woman he likes.
I don't think I've seen anything like this. What do you mean?
I think he is referring to the fact that it was the bandit Sheng Ming who eliminated the main boss of the bandits (and so it might seem that Gu Jiu Si took the credit). But if we pay closer attention to the scene. It all happened due to Gu Jiu Si's courage to go alone to face the bandits in their house. And his conversation first led to Yu Ru's clever reasoning and then to Sheng Ming's decision to assist the couple (eliminating the main bandit boss). Gu Jiu Si had no help even from Zhou Ye. Thus, Gu Jiu Si's promotion to magistrate was well deserved (even without some heroic sword fighting). PS: But what I found strange about this scene was that the dead bandit on the ground, and Liu Yu Ru and Gu Jiu Si still smiled. I, at that moment would not have any smile. Only the maid had a coherent expression: she didn't smile, she looked dismayed at the bandit on the floor.
And I read a little bit of his scenes in the novel. I know he is an admirer of Yu Ru. (I want to know if he's on the good side too.). I suppose so, but I haven't read every page of the romacen. I flipped through the book.
It seems that the original novel and drama like to show mild-mannered crooks who fall in love or have a crush on the story's heroine. They specialize in it. (I have this hunch by episode 21. I'll see if my hunch is correct in episode 22). (This one has good manners despite being a redneck.). But it's also comic relief. What can I do ? The conquering bandit scenes from episode 21 was the most interesting of this episode. Of course, new characters bring a freshness to the drama. This is true. Yes, it's another one of the stars of Blood of Youth. π€οΈ
If you want them keep Liu Xueyi playing main role here , you can protest against IQIYI on instagram . This drama…
Okay, I will protest on IQIYI's instagram. But I won't end my subscription now because I want to continue watching Liu Xue Yi's Luo Zi Shang in "Destined" drama. PS: IQIYI did much worse in late 2021 by canceling the fantasy drama in which Liu Xue Yi was set to be the main lead (Graceful Bearing Aka Jian Xian Da Ren De Feng Zi). In my point of view, IQIYI owes a fantasy drama with Liu Xue Yiu as the main male. ππ€οΈπ PS: But, soon after, IQIYI had a problem with actor Deng Lun and they had to cancel the broadcast of the Deng Lun drama which had ended at that time. This even looked like a punishment from heaven. π
I have a hunch they haven't changed either of the main protagonist couple. It's just a way to stir up the discussion a bit. PS: It would be a little unwise to exclude from the drama a pair of perfect performers for the roles of these characters. I'm reading the novel. They are both perfect for the role. I'm reading the novel imagining the two of them. But...(we have to wait for the official announcement in July.). πππππ¦π¦πποΈπΉποΈπβ°β±οΈβ²οΈπ°οΈπ₯ͺππ°πΈππΊπ»πͺ΄πΏππ₯π·πΌπ§π ποΈποΈποΈπ πποΈπ€οΈππ π
