March seems unrealistic for a drama with this kind of budget. platforms usually want their most expensive dramas to air during high traffic months. if it can't be ready for CNY break then next summer would make more sense.

the numbers seem good but for some reason, the level of discussion around the series has been kind of lacking for a Xianxia drama. the douban forum is kind of empty and there's not much discussion on the large platforms like douyin or xhs.

probably because it's fantasy so we accept stupid plotlines more lol

ida this drama is a big deal for her because it's the first time she got first billing in a big budget costume drama (she was second billing in LLTG). billing is serious business for chinese actors because they see it as a test for how well they can carry a drama. even if this drama has its negatives, the performance so far has been good and it will be a boost for ZLS career.

WAY on the other hand.. I feel like this drama added nothing for him lol I checked on weibo and his supertopic fans hasn't even increased since the drama started airing. maybe he's better off doing modern dramas.

30 episodes.. wtf that seems too long for a drama like this

are they going to do the express package for this drama? pretty much all iqiyi dramas lately have it.

imo it's because of the ML. immature characters are hard to feel chemistry with. I had the same issue while watching MJTY.

wait I just realized SML is the LLTG SML lol why does he look so different here.. ngl the top bun hairstyle looks much better on him rather than the high ponytail.

tbh I think fans are too sensitive. there's only 141 reviews so far lol the sample size is too small right now. the first 4 episodes are just ok so far. 7.4 makes sense to me for now. the ratings will rise later on.

oh no, this drama has that hazy filter too.. it flattens everyone's features and makes their faces look like a blob u_u

I'm honestly not seeing what cnets see in LTG lol I think maybe it's because the actor just looks so.. weak? his frame is even smaller than LSS. I just can't seem to ship them.

I saw a melon that it'd broadcast after A Journey to Love ends but that feels a bit too soon.. didn't they JUST do reshoots? there's no way they can edit that fast.

imo she's very overrated. her magnum opus is DFQC in LBFAD but I think the rest of her work is overly flowery and kind of distracting.

cnets keep bullying ML because they think he's ugly. they're currently pushing 3ML x FL ship because they hate ML.

Li Tong Guang. He has a loveline with FL. cnets are currently pushing this pair. although it feels like it's out of spite because they really hate ML

wanna see a trailer for this u_u

why does this drama have more drama outside than inside lol so many people bullying ML and pushing 3ML..

zhao lusi, wang churan, tian xiwei, zhou ye. any of the 95~99-line actresses. he is paired up too often with older actresses.

it's just cnets being mean lol they've been AI replacing his face with various male actors because they think LYN is ugly.

coming from SOKP, you can immediately see the vast difference in budget lol this drama just screams money. you can see through the scale of the set pieces and costuming and cinematography. I'm kind of wary of the script writer because I think she's a bit of a hack and tends to write her dramas into a corner (A Dream of Splendor's last 20 episodes still haunt me) but I'll stick around for the visuals for now.

although I will say the filter in this drama is a bit strong. I think maybe the director did it to cover the age of the actors but sometimes the blurring effect makes this look.. like a dream sequence if that makes sense

btw this broke the record for highest first day heat index on IQIYI this year. the previous record holder was Destined.
