Do you mean this one? I ripped it from the show because it’s not released yet. Not sure when they will either. It took them almost a year to release the BGM ost for LBDAD.

I think they were way too young at that point and then just stopped visiting her palace due to their health. So it's possible by the time they were old enough to process her face, she was already gone. I'm sure the drama will explain this further later.

I am so happy we will continuously get episodes update every day until the end. Waiting would've been torture. 4th life was kind of weak for me, but I'm really loving seeing how it all began in this 5th life. It's finally pulling all the details sprinkled throughout the beginning and 2nd life together now.

This might explain why the editing feels choppy and odd at times. I think they did a lot of cutting for some reason, especially the 2nd life.

All the parallels to the first life is starting to happen again. CH's dad was her mortal life's dad. The staged attack so they can play out "damsel in distress saved by a hero".

I agree. CK is more like the young LCK as well.

That was the one thing I didn't like in LBFAD. There was no traces of Orchid left after her original self was reborn 😔. Kind of made me feel sad for DFQC because it wasn't really who he fell for, just looked like her.

YCY is extra beautiful in this CH incarnation. The way CH carries herself and micro expressions are distinctly different from her other personalities. I like this much better than the wide eye pouty character she's played previously.

I was one of those bts hunters 😂 Definitely an unforgettable watching experience.

Extended kiss scene from 4th life. It was so sweet and soft. Why cut this just to release it as a bts later? Reminds me of Unchained Love all over again.

I don’t follow live Tencent dramas so I don’t know how they typically schedule, but after watching a number of iQIYI’s I noticed their usual release schedule is air first 10 days then alternate break then air then break until the end. LBFAD was 5 weeks for VIP. It had 4 days break in between after the first 10 days. I remember following it live was torturous to wait 😄

Rewatch during the break should’ve increased it but it kept going down under 7K heat. We’ll see if this new schedule will help a little. And yeah, if the ending turns out well then it might get better rewatch value after it’s over.

I’m in US time zone so it’s 7:00AM for us.

Good for us as drama watchers but not a positive sign for how well the show is doing. It’s not pulling in the heat they want so they need to hurriedly push out all the episodes so the next drama can take its place (My Journey to You, another hyped drama). It’s possible they might even offer fast track for the last few eps.

Anyone noticed it says this on iqiyi's site? "VIPs: from 08-22, 2 new episodes daily at 07:00."

Yes all seven lives will be shown. This calendar shows spoilers for when and how many episodes each life takes https://kisskh.at/photos/QJdKV2_3

Things get a lot better after they finish the 2nd life.

I think during the scene in heavenly realm when everybody came to help XY matchmake couples was Qixi day, wasn’t it?

She drank the tonic, but he didn’t. So she forgot and he had all his memories.

I'm another fan of his different grunts response haha. He definitely did not do it as LCK. I like XY's straight forward no nonsense when it comes to her feelings for him. Her bringing the red ball directly to shifu rather than let it fly in the wind in case it misses and lands in the wrong hands was great. Then when he didn't let her finish saying she likes him because he was nervous, she followed up with the cheek kiss as confirmation anyway. Then when it seemed like she was mad at him for not telling her about the negative effect of the primordial spirit exchange, she directly told him she knew him well enough to not stupidly think he'd do anything that might hurt her. I also loved when after she experienced heartbreak from the 2nd tribulation and Red Thread Master tried to comfort her, she asked to let her have her moment to feel sad, then she got right back into the groove of doing her job and not let her emotions affect her duties.

Yeah I agree

Exactly! I think it’s still much much above most of what China releases these days in the fantasy genre for the kind of dumping on it’s getting. I enjoyed the first episode due to the visuals, but have to admit eps 2 to around 6/7 was a struggle. Script, direction, editing was just really off and I hung on because I like DYX’s acting and curious about their interaction after that trial finished. Then the plot and scenes started getting better and better as it went on. Unfortunately, if you weren’t fans of either actor or interested in the overall plot, you wouldn’t stick around during those episodes. In addition to bad marketing, I think the blame should also be placed on script writing and directing, but it all fell on both the two young leads instead, which is really sad to see. Antis were already there, but add in all this and they got even more support from the casual watchers who have mob mentality jumping on the hate wagon.
