dear niki

that's why there's a chance he can comeback later.

vertical dramas aren't release in tv its more on vertical apps like douyin and other web drama sites. plus, vertical drama might be famous but most watchers are people wo doesn't really care about the artist, they just watch the drama then move on. so they don't care about this issues. I'm sure people who are only aware of this are people like us who follow entertainment news and the artist themselves. Also vertical dramas is a little laid back in terms with strict regulations compared to full length cdramas.

watching 120ep for a 3ep revelation and not even a confrontation or final talk at the end? even grandma DNA test is useless. 😂😂

Did the scriptwriter and director lost it in the end that they can't even write for a 5 more episode with them honestly talking with each other and ML asking for forgiveness and making up for all the bad thing he did to the FL?

ML character is so bad that they can't fix his wrong doing without making him less cool. Such a waste of a good chemistry from the two main lead.

blossom, same director. it's his first full length drama and it's also a hit like this drama.

if you only want to start with historical, then i highly recommend:

Love Like The Galaxy
Joy Of Life
Legend Of The Female General
The Prisoner of Beauty

Looking forward to our pretty beauty and food blogger, Ni Xiao💕

it think its Mr.Li/Nangong Chun Shui or Moyi??? Mr.Li watch 3 generation, can look young again, and so powerful that he have many immortal level disciples.

Or I think this is the Top 3:
1. Mr.Li
2. Moyi
3. Baili Dongjun

yeah, that hate tweet is still going up until now.

Not every actor prioritizes popularity. Some value the artistic side of acting more and choose roles that challenge them and help sharpen their craft. Idol dramas may bring faster attention, but serious genres often allow deeper growth as an artist. So even if I’d like her to take on more mainstream projects, I’d rather see her doing work she genuinely enjoys. In the long run, having a strong acting record and a solid filmography matters more than short-term hype.

wait, after rewatching it for 3x now, why do i think the girl Nam Soo Hyun really likes is Min Joo. His reaction when He and Min Joo have a closure conversation almost as if he want to say something but he's holding it back, and his eyes are flattering.
If my theory is right and he really likes her but didn't do anything, maybe it's because he still thinks and believe he have nothing to give her so he didn't start anything.

butr after rewatching it for 3rd time, why do I feel like he likes the red girl??

The 2ndML didn't like the FL.

The 2ndML have his own love triangle with two different Female characters.

Looking forward to finally meeting Su Xiaoyuan

Tang Lian Da Shixiong will surely be there, this is just a little sneak peak, according to TGJOT S5 official weibo, they are still in the process of production, and the new characters design are not yet finalize, they just posted the PV just to show everyone the new anime designs. The anime might comes out soon, then Zhou Munan will share the novel/book next. then last one the drama.

here's the youtube link: https://youtu.be/uwOc8JztF2k?si=G1eAKj6AWVCg1VO1

I believe that’s Crown Prince Ao Yu of Nanjue — the same person Xiao Se mentioned in Season 1. He’s the one Xiao Se gambled against at the Grand Golden Terrace, where Xiao Se won an entire city in Nanjue.

In the novel, Ao Yu already shows up during the war arc near the ending. Ao Yu and Xiao Se fights in the war, when Xiao Se leads reinforcements in the final part of the story.

It’s just unfortunate that the drama skipped over that entire war segment, jumping straight to the part where Xiao Se returns and he announced the new emperor.

She’s booked, but most of her projects haven’t been released yet. And I totally get what you mean, Lin Boyang really has a unique taste when it comes to choosing her roles. She’s the type who enjoys exploring different genres and challenging herself with new characters, so we might not always get the kind of projects we personally prefer from her. Unlike many actresses who often take on idol dramas, she rarely does those. Considering that her mentor is the legendary director Zhang Yimou, it’s not surprising that her career leans toward more artistic, unconventional, and meaningful works.

It’s mainly because of the poor script and character writing for Sikong Qianluo. In the novel—the original source—she’s not that clingy or overly attached to Xiao Se. Her affection for him is there, but never her entire personality. She’s confident, strong-willed, and carries herself with quiet pride.

In the book, Qianluo has many powerful and memorable lines that truly capture her strength and independence, but in the drama, a lot of those lines were given to Xiao Se instead. It really lessened her depth and made her come across as more of a side character revolving around him rather than standing as her own person.

Another detail the drama missed was her overall aura and style. In the novel, she’s often described as wearing black—a color that reflects her maturity, discipline, and the cool, composed temperament of a spear master. But in the series, her styling and portrayal leaned too much toward a girlish and childish version of her, which feels out of character.

Its like they cast Lin Boyang base from the novel version but makes her look and act like the anime version.

Overall, the drama watered down what made Sikong Qianluo so captivating in the novel. She’s supposed to be a character of strength, elegance, and quiet dominance, not just the “girl who likes Xiao Se.”

there will be new characters, like Ao Yu from nanjue. The anime version of TBOY S2 will come out first and the new animation team already released a 1 minute PV, in the trailer you will see the anime new designs and a glimpse of the storyline.

right, season 2 will have more scene of her, especially with the plot of her discovering her mothers past, her being somehow a nanjue royalty, and her possibly getting a new powerful immortal spear.
