Takes one to know one - so welcome to the 0 IQ club. Hey - if you don't like the drama - just buzz the f off. Coz nobody likes a killjoy.

Found it! A blog article here: https://dramapanda.com/2023/12/zhao-lusi-on-why-she-took-on-the-role-of-a-yin-in-the-last-immortal.html

Dang it was on X (Twitter) but I can't find it rn. Was just randomly scrolling thru Lusi feeds. If I come up against it - I will post.

LOL oh no - have not but is it on webtv? Gotta check it out. I only saw the angst ones from ep 20-24. BTW - it's so fun chatting with fellow viewers and Lusi fans. Hope we all do it again when Legend of Jewelry starts up next year.

Really dragging the angst out with 1 episode/day until Xmas. TBH I could have done away with all the flute-love memory wipeout. ML would still have a strong arc if they focus on his conflict with his role as "true god" and their relationship. At least it would make him look less gullible (tricked first by Peacock lady, then aunt, then I wonder who else). Script writer/director gonna have to work hard 2nd half to convince me this boy is a True God. Second ML is more mature and at least consistent in his affections towards A Yin. I am almost at point where I wanna say: forget about the damn relationship and let A Yin become Feng Yin and do her revenge thing. This romance isn't going any where and script writer hasn't done much to keep us invested in it. I will stay to the end for Lusi but kind of worried that the plot and pace hasn't turned around at this point. Also thinking maybe Lusi should stay away from Xian Xia romance and focus on modern or wuxia and explore new genres like she says she wants to do. Anyone feel the same?

Yeah totally agree - so much hate and negativity only rots one's soul. Wished that people realize this is just acting and actors doing their job. There are lots of actors I am not fond of but hey, I just don't watch their dramas - no need to go around posting bad things because that kind of bad karma will come back on these folks. They need to get a life. The real world isn't a c-drama.

LOL - but yeah I did see them communicate a bit more from other clips so I take back what I said about DW being distant. Seemed friendly enough. Altho with WangYibo wished there was a bit more acknowledgement - I really hope for a CP between them but probably won't happen since both are too big stars to play second fiddle to one another. And he does more artsy films although ZLS has been quoted as saying she wants to try other genre she hasn't done b4 so maybe still have hope there.

its funny to see the comments about the ML because ZLS mentioned in an interview that she specifically chose TLI because in the script for a change, it's the ML who is "low-IQ" rather than the FL who runs around being silly - and she no longer wants to do those kind of scripts. So that is exactly how its playing out here. Probably why a lot of other male actors bowed out coz they did not want to come off less macho/alpha male. But good for WAY because if this one turns out to be a hit as most of our Lusi's dramas are, it will give him a big popular boost as well. Esp given she is so popular with international audiences (well ppl like us LOL) given her recent award.

Oh yeah you are right. Reincarnate many times to become a phoenix. I hope he doesn't side with the other side when she is punished. Saw some trailers but they don't give away too much except she has the white hair i think in episode 20 and he is trying to save her lifespan or something like that. She looks STUNNING in the white hair. So ethereal - so even if sad, I am looking forward to her "new look".

Yeah me too coz but it will be a lot of episodes of sadness. ;( oh well that's why we are all here for the journey. ZLS did say in an interview for why she chose TLI because the script has a "low IQ ML" instead of a female character who is always the "low IQ" one. She is over that. So good for her!!!

Oh no - she won't care for GuJin? That would be sad. Star crossed lovers trope.

Me too! Surprised I am enjoying it as much as I do. But then ZLS makes everything watchable IMHO. Romance of Tiger and Rose was what started me on C-dramas. Previous to that, I only watched K-dramas. So ZLS will always have a special place in my heart.

Thanks for the teaser links!

That would be fun to watch LOL. I assume they will all know she was A Yin? I know it's ZLS's face but one never knows with XianXia.

Agreed - they were so urgent about finding Phoenix's spirit pieces then all of a sudden, everyone is just hanging around the Heavenly Palace. Looks like the magical flute also did more than erase the "love thread" here. I am hoping they get on with the story in the next 2 episodes since they are I assume trying to work up to a climax that causes A Yin to be killed so she can reincarnate as Phoenix. But timing has to be right, no because how can she be reincarnated until all her spirit pieces are found? And they are still missing at least 1 piece no?

Oh I hope not! I cannot go through another round of ML being too naive to see through her facade - we are all waiting for him to come to his senses and GROW UP. Script writer cannot be so mean to a ML. He is such a putz now already.

Same here. The aunt and peacock lady so calculating. I guess that's why she a peacock LOL and not phoenix. LOL. Must admit it's clever of script-writer to imbue the characters with their bird characteristics. Like the Eagle lady is combative and straight forward while the peacock lady is kinda pretentious and worried about "face". I am kinda dreading the next 2 episodes when A Yin's water beast dies (assume that will be the case if they follow the novel plotline) and ML finds out he loves her too late. And then we have to wait for her to reincarnate many lives as Phoenix.

Was just thinking about Rosy at the award ceremony with her MLs and hoping some day she does find the kind of love in real life like the wonderful CPs she portrays for us online. It must be so hard to have a personal life as a busy, high profile celebrity, esp. in a place where every move is scrutinized and stalked by anti-fans (or crazy fans). US celebrities def have it easier as they can date, marry or divorce without losing their fandom or careers. Like I don't care who Ben Affleck or Timothy Chalamet dates - I will watch them as long as they are in a good movie.

Yeah def a work acquaintance versus real friends vibe. Kinda like me at a work dinner party running out of "how's the weather" topics....then awkward silence LOL. ZLS is super friendly and affectionate so this lukewarm reaction between her and the 2 Wangs next to her makes me suspect, she is doesn't. have much to do with them outside of the few variety shows and photoshoots they happen to work together on. A bummer coz I was hoping for CP dramas between our Lusi and both of them.

Yeah I saw the clips on Twitter/X as well. I was wondering where Chen ZheYuan was or Liu YiNing. Did not see clips of them but I only have access to what's posted on western channels like X or YT.
