I've followed Avenuex for a long time, however I take her reviews and comments with a grain of salt. After so many reviews, I've concluded she and I don't usually enjoy the same type of dramas :)

If I'm interested in a drama, I'll watch it BEFORE I watch her review. For Love and Redemption, I've already formed my own strong impressions and love, love, love, love it, so her negative opinion doesn't change that. But if I'm only slightly interested, but not enough to start the drama on my own, then her opinion might help me to try or skip it (though I've mostly dropped her past recommendations like: Find Yourself, Love and Destiny, The Bad Kids). Sometimes if she hates something from a drama, but I know I like, it might actually interest me to try it!

She tends to like more serious-minded or thematic dramas (except for the hits like Ten Miles and The Untamed, which I also already loved on my own). She's also is a bit biased towards certain actors, like Hu Ge and Zheng Yecheng, so I'm cautious if she raves about their dramas as they're personally not my cup of tea. She's also big into cinematography with more serious/darker tones (Minglan, Nirvana on Fire, Love In Between, Joy of Life) and I like the bright/happy/pretty look and feel of xianxia/fantasy dramas if I also love the leads & story, so we can agree to disagree. (My real-life is serious enough, I don't need dramas that require too much deep thought/seriousness or are too depressing, lol).

I do however enjoy her title breakdowns in most reviews, updates on entertainment news and language/cultural videos. Sometimes I learn about new dramas or interesting c-entertainment tidbits here and there.

I watch dramas for the story, sweet love, the fluff, the main couple, temporary angst, favorite tropes and to get lost in fantasy so Love and Redemption hits ALL the right spots! I'm so glad to share in the love of it with everyone here on this thread regardless of what others feel!!

*misspelled his name, I meant Ruo Yu

Sifeng doesn't normally have a stutter, it was just temporary. Ruo Yun explains in Epi 1 when Xuanji dropped by to give Sifeng birthday cake that Sifeng has spent his whole life in Lizi Palace and so he's not too familiar with their language since he just arrived in Shaoyang. So assuming the more time he spent with Xuanji/at Shaoyang, he picked up the language better so the stuttering went away naturally.

I was wondering why there was a bts with him in marriage robes with someone else! That makes sense now. Poor Xuanji seemed heartbroken in the teaser since she don't know it's fake.
This is the yt bts clip I saw: https://youtu.be/gqieRk2JMyE

Lol, I noticed the "to" seems to happen a lot with Xuanji's name. But aw, I'm so sorry to hear that someone stole your hard work as well! I was so looking forward to more of your subs. The good subs are great, but do require patience. Is there anyway you can explain and/or private message/email with how you extracted the hard-coded subs & where the raws came from? I googled and youtube'd: how to extract hard-coded Chinese subs, but didn't see any clear instructions. But, if it's too complicated, just wanted to say how much I truly appreciate what you've done already. For me, I've studied mandarin but it's nowhere near fluent, so your subs really helped to fill in the missing blanks! So sad someone had to ruin it for the rest of us! :(
