But it's also cool, because we're watching SJ learn about love. He's like grandmaster 500 yr old rock star god of Kik Yo As, but he's never had a loving relationship with anyone ever since his parents. But he's not slow on the uptake. The hurt he caused her when he forced her to kill the first time around finally comes full circle, and he understands that hurting her is hurting himself. They gave us some emotionally gorgeous moments in this ep.

I especially feel for times where an FL goes thru something that makes her go thru denial/repression/shut-down mode, because that's my natural reaction to trauma also. Some people can't understand it when FL's go thru something that causes them to mentally and emotionally "check out" and turn cold or distant or numb and they don't think it seems realistic, but its pretty realistic to me lol...

So when he sees the original moment that caused her to "shut down" emotionally and turn tough and it hurt him, I felt like he was sharing her pain, and that meant assimilating FOR her some of the pain she couldn't afford to feel herself.

This drama is just so badass i cant eve

Agh, aigoo....

He does have good hair here tho.

Novel readers: they added some new content to the script right? Where he goes into her dreams and sees her killing for the first time. I don't remember that being in the novel...?

nooo! lol...

I remember watching Falling Into You, and there were people knocking his buzzcut. I thought it was cute!

She's like 'Hmm, I wonder if I'm Liao or Shi, who is telling me the truth?"

And she has her answer literally one minute later.

This is one of the many reasons I love this drama. Other scriptwriters would have dragged that out.

I was bait-and-switched!!! 😂🤣 It was false advertising I tell you!

You are very sweet, I'm used to getting clobbered in most comment sections because I'm like Unpopular Opinion Girl a lot of the time, I'm too picky. But you are very nice.

I wish people understood that everyone is welcome to comment about shows here, this isn't a fan page, and was a little nicer about not agreeing all the time. It doesn't really affect my life if someone doesn't agree with me abt a show, I've never understood how some people can go from zero to kys when you say one wrong thing like "I hated ABAY."

Most business dramas put me to sleep, I don't like cubicles and sales projections and business casual. Except for some exceptions like Fake It Till You Make It with Elvis Chan I thought was really good. And Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, if that counts as 'office'.

I thot it was sexayyyy! 🤣

No modern day if it follows novel.

Refusing 2 kill = personaliity growth?

if it follows the book, then this will not happen.

Yep, I fully ruined this first-time watch for myself. I can't believe how addictive this is.

Think of the 3 arcs in terms of where they're set. 1 = celestial realm 2 = demon realm 3 = human realm.

I was not a fan of that show. But that was not Arthur Chen's fault. I also did not like how in L&P they give you like the first 1-3 episodes with the hot peroxide blond hair, and then they take it away from you for the whole rest of the drama. wtf.

idk I thought it was sort of a snoozer plotwise, and the FL struck me the whole time as really self-righteous and kind of a pain in the ass. I didn't sense any spicy chemistry between him and the FL in L&P.

I think this is the best thing he's ever been in, doing his best acting, with the most chemistry I've ever seen him have with an FL costar. I don't think his previous stuff rises above "pretty good". But he is so SO well suited to this role, I'm super impressed.

If it follows the novel, she is still on the road to fully recovering her memories at the end, it's not something she ever fully regains at some point, it's a gradual process.

The snake is written in the novel as a really simple-minded creature, I don't think he's ever going to have anything to add except comic relief. But in the novel there was no RuLing side-plot love interest at all. So maybe they will write the snake a little differently than the novel idk.

I NEVAHHH start a drama before it's completely finished, and I saw the thumbnail for this on kisskh while I was cruising for something new to watch, and I was ONLY GONNA WATCH 5 MINS OF IT just to preview it and see if I'd be interested later.

And here I am. This show is crack.

If it's anything like the novel, it's gonna be cool.

I like that it's pared down, because Legend of Shen Li was hi-budget but had the classic wuxia cheese-feel to it, but I thought the cheese was done better here... Shen Li was kind of over-the-top. I love the power-rangers flying in formation thing the bad guys do when they're chasing after SJ, that was awesome.

Reading comprehension is a thing. Slowww down and actually read what people post, instead of just cruising the comments looking for things to be offended by.

right, they got like kind of a semi- bonnie and clyde dynamic goin on in the novel.

I was watching the show like "IS HE GONNA REALLY LICK HER FACE" and
sure enough he did.... or like when he smears his blood on her and laughs... in the novel you can take it however you want, but it seems a little dark. And in the drama they really glossed that aspect of his character over a little bit. Or like the "I ate your egg" that in the drama turned into some cheezy-puff and I'm like "noooo no no no. that's not how that went down at ALL" lol....

They skipped the kinky incest dynamic in that part of the drama, I'm sure to keep the whole thing from getting a bunch of unwanted negative attention on the drama itself, and I wonder if they're gonna also skip the part about him being 16 when they meet in the 3rd arc, they'll change it to 18 or something.

no, totally not.
