I’m not sure if any English news site covered this but I was following this on Weibo as it was happening over the course of 2 days, and he deleted all the posts afterwards so I can't retrieve them anymore. Basically, he kept making posts implying that the antis were blackening the drama and keeping it from being hot. This rubbed casual viewers the wrong way, because some people just simply don't like the drama or plot and are entitled to their opinions, you know? His doing that lumped them in with antis so it fueled the flames. Then when criticisms got worse he started making posts about how the negative result of the drama the antis were creating was putting him into a depression. Mind you, this was when LY7T was still pulling around 8K heat, which was not that bad! It just fell short of expectation because of so much pre-premiere hype. He shared DM screenshots of DYX and YCY expressing their sadness and disappointment to him about the current situation, particularly YCY who felt sorry to the producers because she felt it was her fault due to the antis. He implied YCY might fall into depression because of it. (Too much casual throwing around of depression, which is a serious subject for many people and seriously depressed people can’t even bring themselves to admit it most of the time). Then he had them do the livestream, which I think was very bad timing. You could see they were both clearly stressed and weren't in the right head space to be promoting the drama, especially right at the height of the hate and copyright issue. So that led to the little break down YCY had. And then he shared an off camera picture of DYX sitting on the floor by the couch and YCY had a hand on his cheek, comforting him. Both their faces were covered so you can’t see what their expressions were, but it looked pitiful. So people stormed his comments accusing him of trying to “sell misery” (It’s a term Cnetz use when they feel like individuals are faking sadness to gain sympathy, kind of like those YTubers who have an overnight downfall and then post a video of themselves crying about it to make you feel sorry for them). Now fans are worried about how the next Stellar Gravity projects will fare because of all this. Ever since LBFAD blew up last year, he got into a couple more controversies with fans, add to that this and they don’t want their favorite stars to be associated with his production anymore. If he had kept quiet and continued promoting the positives of the drama instead of drawing attention to the negatives, it might not be as bad now. After seeing first hand all of that, even my mood as someone who is enjoying the show, got dampened a little when I continued to watch the drama. They've had no trending hashtags relating to the drama at all. The only two they did have on those couple of days were "WYX says he has depression" and "DYX and YCY breaking down on livestream".

I agree, I really enjoy his acting too. It's actually the reason why I don't find his character annoying. He has a lot of good micro expression scenes.

I think Wang Yuxi should have kept quiet and let things took its course gracefully. The drama was starting to go back up in heat the day before his weibo posts (word of mouth and fan edits would have drawn positive attention by the 3rd lifetime's episodes) and then he basically just destroyed it. I'm loving this drama and am a fan of his quality of drama productions, but the way those posts were made kind of gave me the ick. I don't think he should have shared screenshots of the two leads' private DMs that were sent to him. So I can totally see why there was so much backlash. Now the hate is mostly out of spite.

Yeah it's bananas and whoever's in charged refuses to update it.

That's the funniest part to me, them making it seems like the idea of two siblings in a love triangle 😂

I was joking for goodness sake. We're just having fun here. Did you not read my whole comment? I said he misses his best friend at the end. Haven't even watched a single BL drama in my life. The drama is obviously meta and is teasing about this as well as many other tropes.

Here's the subbed complete OSTs with pretty art from the drama to tie you over until the next update :)

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason to me, the person that rejected my submission started the communication like they woke up on the wrong side of the bed and it didn't get better after that. I don't want to deal with that energy so I give up trying to change it. Thanks for the link though!

Why does JL still have the tattoo from his mortal body? I'm suddenly getting BL vibes from these two 😂 Before, he was annoyed that his sister was hiding the Nuwa stone because he wanted to sacrifice it, but now he's annoyed she's hiding it because he misses his bestie 🥺

Go vote on the individual episodes if you haven’t already. That could help.

Has anyone else tried submitting an edit for how the cast list is ordered and got rejected? I tried to get the actors who played Jin Lian and Xiuming back up near the two leads and got a condescending response back rejecting my edits because I have no valid proof… other than me actually watching this drama 😒. So frustrating.

I know who can take over writing the next tribulation... Jin Lian. After all, he did read 20 catties worth of romance novels under Shifu so that's plenty of experience there 🤓

Oh didn't think about that haha

It's Faye Zhan Wenting - https://youtu.be/AoJHK3r-HJY

Haha yeah, it wouldn't be understandable to casual watchers. I usually just go with it without trying to match it to the actual hour.

I laughed when subs translated it as 5pm. It took me out for a minute 😅

No he is. It's just whoever entered the list into MDL did it in the wrong order. He does have a significant amount of screen time.

Not that this matters, but the MDL cast list is in the wrong order. The sml is actually Xiuming played by Jiu Wen. He's on the bottom of the supporting cast list.

I uploaded the teaser calendar from production team.
4th life: Eps 22/23-25 (general and princess)
5th life: Eps 26-32 (this might incorporate the CH plot)
6th life: Eps 33-36 (cat demon and tiger spirit)
7th life: Eps 37-38 (normal HE life?)

Yes Immortal Li.
