There will be a human realm arc, but not the way youre probably thinking... it will be really cool, you'll like it. Its not like she drags him back to her apartment and gets him a job in a cubicle or something.

So in 3rd arc, he starts off with his memory messed up and basically gone, but he does have persistent dreams about FL and doesn't know why. By the end of the 3rd arc, he has his memories all back, but that reveal is sort of enigmatic.... they explain in the novel that he's like something something special spirit fire idk and so he didn't take his memories with him at FIRST. But that it's natural for him to slowly regain them as time goes on. In the novel, SJ at the beginning of the 3rd arc is 16yo, and so for him not to have all his memories back at that point is 'normal' or whatever.

So. As the arc progresses, you see signs that he's remembering things here or there. And the novel keeps you guessing for a while about how much he knows and when. And all you know is there is a moment when he basically betrays that yea, he remembers everything, and keeps it all non-specific about how/when he remembers.

But by the end of the story, FL is the one who has not totally recovered her memories. She remembers things about Arc 1, but never has a moment where in some blinding flash she regains all her memory.

No the main villain in the story is the wheelchair dude who abducted FL and gave her amnesia. After he's dealt with, I think there's a few other things that come up, but the story leaned less toward epic-saga and more toward like 'wuxia slice of life', if there is such a thing.

I did not decide to wait, and I ragret.

I felt like the tone of the novel was sort of like howl's moving castle meets Twilight. It doesn't take itself seriously. But at the same time, the ML is dark and there are elements of seriousness, madness, violence, and obsession in the tone. So it's this weird mix of sweet and sinister.

So far the things I think are out of place personally are 1) The scenes showing the cruelty of the baby eaters and how they keep people as slaves n stuff, that went too dark imo... 2) The OST/BGM sometimes is good, and sometimes is phoned in and low effort, like the opening song sounds a LOT like the opening song for Story of Kunning Palace, and a lot of the "original" soundtrack songs to me don't sound that original.

I just really love that they turned a story like this into a full-on big deal, because it's so sweet and sexy and interesting without being overdone on a bunch of angsty crap... and in the story the way the 1st 2nd and 3rd arc are laid out is so cool not a lot of c-dramas out there like this, it's so unique.

Do u wanna be spoilered?

Also didn't they add some stuff in the middle of arc 1 and arc 2 that wasn't in the book? Like RuLing saying she'd get FL a job, in the book FL was at that job already.

I do not love it. I like version A of FL better. But... I did read the novel, and it's good, I like how it played out.

I speed-read some parts of the book... did they merge RuLing and HongLuo into the same character? Or were they the same character in the book? Some of the later parts in the book are so freakin funny, I can't wait to see if they leave them in. Like Sima Jiao catching the snake eating the dead body, and then he transforms to not get caught, and he's got the guy's sword sticking out of his mouth and then SJ is like "spit that thing out." and she's like "you're the one who taught him to do that"

I think this is the best ml/fl pairing arthur chen has ever had, hands down.

I'm glad it went to Ying Lu then... I really like Lusi, and she was so great in Secret Love, but I feel like this role would have made demands on her health and she wouldn't have been able to give it 100%.

Also YL and Arthur have some completely next level chemistry goin on and it's so magical to watch. I think this was a better choice of FL in the end.

Sounds terrible, count me in.

I just saw 'worst chinese drama to have ever been created', and instantly you have my attention.

I am a huge bad-drama/bad-movie affectionado. So when you say it's 'bad', I wonder if you mean 'bad' like My Lethal Man, or if you mean 'bad' like The Sound Of My Voice or....?

What kind of 'bad' are we talking about here. I wonder if I should watch it for the lulz.

IMO this is by far the most chemistry I've ever seen Arthur Chen have with an FL costar.

I bet he understood the first time, and just likes hearing her say it occasionally. He doesn't ever get to hear sincere and nice words while someone is under a truth spell probably.

ikr, i rarely laugh audibly, but i did at that.

yasssss.... i hate it when i get invested before I even remember to ask something so basic. Which is what I did here. So I'm relieved now.

Is the novel an HE or SE?

Seven has a narrower more upturned nose, and a rounder face with fuller cheeks.

Why need to control what other people think or say? Tone policing the internet is an exercise in futility.
