song

yeah no wonder they split up the seasons. this one is gonna hurt so bad 😭

one of the bgm sounds similar to oogway ascends from kung fu panda, i can't unhear it 🤣

ep 28 was so good omg. the way my heart dropped when jiang ci and her master noticed each other at the battle

wz: "once everything is over, i'll return to jiang village with you" ok we get it, the ending isn't happy, stop rubbing it in our faces 😭😭

and jiang ci's identity reveal?? i thought her master would be her mother but nope, she's her auntie

we got a trailer for lotfg so hopefully soon...! 🤞

i've been meaning to watch it for a while now, just that it's low priority since crime isn't a huge favorite of mine tbh. but i'm finally caving in now 🤣 after suddenly getting a lot of shen yi (+ du cheng ofc this duo) videos on my social media feeds. i don't like watching two or more dramas at once though, so i'm waiting til i finish love of nirvana first

ep 27
wz: what are you doing here?
jc: shameless cat is crouching in the snow. i'm afraid he'll freeze
wz: i'm not cold
jc: i'm cold *hugs him*
wz: it's not good for them to see you
jc: i'm not afraid, i'm already mrs. xiao anyway. are you planning to abandon me?
wz: that was an expedient plan. why take it seriously?
jc: who says an expedient plan can't turn into a long term one?

who understands this scene and conversation AHHHHHHH

jc: i'll tell you when the war is over
☹️💔

i miss her xianxias too ☹️ i'd love if she played a villain or strong fighter. but it's too bad that those type of characters are usually side characters, so fans might throw a fit if yang zi plays a side char and/or doesn't get first billing

thanks for sharing!

goddamn i feel like i just watched the entire show reading this 🤣 cdramas gotta stop with these overly detailed synopses. anyway, it sounds like an interesting crime/mystery/investigation focused plot

contrary to most people's opinions here 🤣 i feel like tong hua appreciates tan jianci's acting talent so it'd be nice if they worked together again. just hope that the story is good and jianci's character doesn't suffer anymore lmao (he's really good at these roles though, am i right or am i right?) but the chances of them working for a third time sounds pretty slim. tan jianci might not want to be known for starring in tong hua related dramas and vice versa

currently: love of nirvana
ptw after: legend of the female general or hidden shadow (if they're even released by then)
otherwise: under the skin (yes i know, why haven't i watched it yet 🤣

so sweet jiang ci repaired the swing for wei zhao 🥹 there's no confession, but the way they've been acting in these past couple episodes feels like lovers / a married couple (see they even wear matching clothes!)

all the ost are pretty but i think liu yining's ost might be favorite. this man's voice is so versatile

loving the friendship between jiang ci and yu lian <3

i forgot that pei yan is here too, brewing up some conflict 😓 he's going down the same path as runyu in ashes of love

oh hey fellow zimi and xiao tan huo <3 yup that's the exact sentiment i have here. i do hope the drama will prove me wrong though once it's actually released

at the end of ep 35.

rosie's family threw a surprise birthday party for her. while she was trying on the helmet she got from zhen hua, he said, "so beautiful. if she weren't my sister, i'd marry her." su geng sheng (his own WIFE bro) said "what do you mean" while their mom said "what are you saying in front of su?"

the vibe of that scene was playful, nothing serious, but still- who even says that 😭 susu is stronger than me cuz if i ever heard that, i'm running away and never looking back

thanks for sharing the link and providing context <3 i'll also look into the other chapters too for more detail as you suggested.

it already sounds very heartbreaking just reading that part. too bad hong ning doesn't remember 😭

no cuz someone said this to me when i brought this up last time 🙃 her parents/guardian and drama casters (tbh even fans too at this point) are the ones at fault, not her

wait ok so apparently there's an anime adaptation of the novel.. was there also a mini drama or movie? (obviously besides this one) asking cuz i heard that an iconic line from this story is "how are you?" "i'm fine, and you?" and it suddenly reminded of this one costume cdrama i saw in an ig reel a while ago, where a man and woman said these exact same lines and the vibe felt comedic but the actors were different

what! omgg that's crazy.... would you be able to tell me which chapter they reveal that KL and HN's past love?

happy birthday jeremy 🥳

AHHHHHH HE DID SO WELLL

what a bad influence. you got them addicted too!! 🤣🤣🤣 /j

if you're comfortable sharing, what do they think about the drama so far? any favorite or despised characters?
