end of ep2, why is he looking for her instead of dealing with teng rui

my historical knowledge is very poor so forgive me for this question! as of ep6, is khan and emperor of qing same person or not? or were they in same side? all this time im assuming they speaking manchu language (cmiiw) and google search shows the mongols and the jurchens are quite of enemy so im very confuse who is who now

is it only me that prefer watching blood of youth first instead of dashing youth? kept seeing people recommending to watch dashing youth first or saying DY should be released first instead of TBOY just bc it was the prequel but in all honesty, where is the fun of it? TBOY is the reason im very much invested in DY. knowing the leads present life (TBOY) made it all more interesting to see about their backstory

i definitely would have drop this long ago if i dont have TBOY as my reference. my main driving force of watching is definitely ye dingzhi and xiao ruofeng simply bc i love angst, hence i get more satisfaction and pain watching them from the beginning of DY to the end, that's what gave the drama and my watching experience more flavours, and the reason why im so attached, so if anyone ask me which to watch first, if you love pain and want more attachment to your shows, watch blood of youth first followed by dashing youth.

i might probably enjoy DY still but i wont get attached if i had watch it first instead of TBOY, there is simply a pain pleasure from knowing how certain character ends from beginning and watching it unravelled

love the looks for both baba and feiyu today!! and been curious since before, how was huang xiaoming as a producer? was this his first time or does he has any work we can refer to before

ok saw someone said this was their first lifetime i thought them being an animal was their first lifetime?

they censor the kiss scene, for what i reasons idk but china has lots of censorship anyway so! romance of little forest has one really hot kiss scene but didnt make it to the cut, legit gave me butterflies we can only see it bc some leak the deleted scenes, also in some chinese short drama, their kiss are much hotter, that tells you anything you need to know (as their regulations seems more lax) and the bts are even hotter for some short drama but unfortunately didnt make the cut, try looking for dai gaozheng drama and mysterious love. but short drama will have bad editing and production depending on the budget they get

who is the worst second male lead ever and why is it xiuming? also i hate fl in this second lifetime im sorry i tried not to but after knowing all that and still refuse to kill him????? girl that man is cruel and despite knowing it you still have slight sympathy bc he is nice to you? this piss me off so bad, he is literally so manipulative and caused the death of many people neither do he cared about common people's lives (i know she dont know about this but she knew he is the mastermind of the lu and song family downfall) but she still refuse to kill him or at least kill herself? yes she doesnt have to kill herself but that is the worst punishment she could give him, drive that man crazy all i care i wish him the worst

honestly i forgot how characters are supposed to look like in the novel but i just wish baba lips wasnt as red 😭 but my guess he simu is described like that, or not? listen baba looks good in red but maybe i get used to see her in bright red lips colour a lot that i wish we get new lipstick colour on her like the lipstick colour she had for tencent during LBTG announcement event look SO GOOD on her 😭😭

i have already spoilt myself of what she went through before starting the show, but ofc it was different from watching i might miss some details but as for now i dont think she is above the law

why is wanning setting ji shuran up? (EP25) is it bc she is mad at jiang yuanbai for stopping her from uncovering the truth about ah li, so she want to take down his wife?

i think they meant how someone of her status can get away with so much evil stuff (not how she became evil) i havent reach the episode of her backstory but i do know she has tragic past but does that have influence in elevating her status in the kingdom to the point where she get away with so many things she did (like probably the guilt from the emperor for sending her and knew she went through a lot so they turn a blind eye for bad deeds she did as long as it truly do not cross the line)

though im currenly at ep25, i dont think any of her evil deeds was exposed so i wouldnt say she is above the law for now

i have read few chapters in the past before i wrote this but stop bc the trope turn me off a bit and i just find it boring, basically im not in the right mood to read it back then

but i was so bored and craved for something like this yesterday that i gave it a tried again, the comment was before i start rereading again and i do like it

i am at book 3 rn but i dont understand why tao ran never told anyone about the radio his shifu told him, sure in his pov he might be overthinking but for years and not sharing it to anyone is a bit weird to me, especially with them being a policeman. unless if i miss something and other people around him did knew that was what his shifu last word (iirc) if he really did not mention it to anyone, this bits just seems like a plothole to me and yeah i dont mind spoiler

i wanna read the novel so bad but it turn me off that they both like taoran at first, i know it doesnt take too much of the story (iirc) but im just not into tropes where two rivals in love fall for each other

i need novel recs where either ML or FL (or both) are like he simu, where they are from ghost/evil realm

it is because it is depressing that it is good, similar with how ye dingzhi and lang ya will be the most interesting aspect of this drama.

there are 4 ML but only 2 ML chase her with only one actively chasing her. One Ml is like a brother figure, possess an obsess love but he did not chase after her bc his status as her brother figure is more important than other ML, he will always be her first priorities. One is her lover and it was only him who actively chased her. One is a demon who is more like her friend and also not friends. He is cold to her and he never let her know he loves her till the end eventhough he did lots of things for her. One is the brother figure friend and helpers in his kingdom, he does not seriously like her and did not actively chased after her, he wants her bc he think they are suitable

yes! when i said bad adaptation i meant it as bad writing, i dont mind changes if the whole thing combined actually make sense and i just personally had issue with writers who turn innocent novel character seems bad in the drama (qiuzi)

the whole qiuzi defending herself saying yichen and ji xing had broken up was li li exact words to defend herself for indirectly helping yichen and his partner (li li friend) to get together, but the drama making qiuzi said that to defend herself for getting together with her friend ex is despicable imo, making viewers felt qiuzi had no shame while it was different when li li said it bc she was not the one who get together with yi chen

i personally dont like that they glorify han ting so much here or how they changed and turn some character into worse. now almost everyone is mad at ji xing, while reading i thought her anger was valid, the changes they made about han ting character from the beginning is one of the reason viewers think ji xing is childish and angry at her while i think it is more understandable in the novel based on han ting character design in the novel

this drama is the definition of bad adaptation but looking at the screenwriter, are we surprised? genuinely why they cant just stick to the basic core in the novel, also the question about love just made so much sense in novel bc he didnt start dating her out of love, he was simply attracted and hope the love would grow after spending times together which was not wrong but what if the love doesnt grow for you but other party get invested? aint that cruel for them?

hence ji xing saying she thought he love her that's why she love him too make it more painful bc she is already at the phase of love while he was still unsure if he had reach the love phase, it makes her anger more valid bc at least in her pov, someone who love her wouldnt use her for their chesspiece (which i agree, at least for me i dont mind being a chesspiece as long as i know about it)

on second thought it is pretty normal for author to change the ending to their own creation few years ago, maybe after years has passed tong hua felt pity for yaoxuan bond, or maybe she and other screenwriters just want to give a shocking factor for both novel readers and drama watchers, guess we are angry bc we know how it was going in the novel and we anticipated it

this is different than changes made simply by screenwriter for drama purpose and to make main characters more noble which i would be more angry about, at least cang xuan has his crazy moment here

the script change is truly ridiculous
