Aethos

The night scenes look so much better than the days scenes. During the day all the colors are washed out.

Why is there no color? The color grading looks like it was done with nightlight on. Everyone looks like walking corpses with grey skin.

ewwww

regardless... I'm still enjoying it

And those 6eps trapped in the stone are just glorified flash backs...

I rarely ask for more eps from cdramas but this one feels necessary. It took like 10eps to introduce the major characters and then 6eps trapped in a stone...

Where to watch with eng subs?

I don't know enough about cinematography to know the term for it but why is the background blur so insanely high? Shots feel very very much like the subject is in a small green room with the background poorly added in post. Compared to Pursuit of Jade which felt like they're actually in the world.

Is there a reason why it's only 1 ep a day now?

Is there love triangle?

triangle?

One of my biggest gripes with My Journey To You was exactly this 😭. So glad they didn't do the same here

The lead couple is great but Fang Mujing and Qu Hua are keeping me interested. They are so great together.

I wish we had the writers' info/credit. That way I can avoid wasting my time with their future works. If they haven't moved on from the love triangle trope in 2026, I doubt they ever will.

It's been a while but IIRC the leads don't die but also don't end up together. ML ends up marrying someone else for political reasons.

Hoping they change the ending in the adaption. The novel ending was horrible. All that heartbreak and struggle just for it to end without the leads ending up together.

yes

9 episodes in, so far so good. Only thing that bothers me is that Bai Luo Heng is so whiny.

I wish I read this before finishing the series.100% agree with watching only until he confesses
