Putting the comedic stuff aside, if you look deeper there seems to be a repeat of the scenario from the 2nd tribulation in this 3rd life, just under slightly different context. Both are of the two leads going off to the market where a staged attack was planned. However, unbeknownst to the planner, real assassins arrived instead. Both times the assassins were instigated by the Xiuming. Last time indirectly, this time directly. The objective both of these times is to kill Chukong.
I was listening to the lyrics and thinking the same thing! And there might also be another clue in the trailer…
Haha have you checked out my discussion post about this? I posted a lot more hints and evidence there that backs up this theory. If it turns out to be true then it’s very cleverly done and I’ll forever bow down to this production’s staff of writers 😄
I just realized how telling the opening OST is about the ultimate plot of this drama. I can't wait to see how it plays out. https://youtu.be/AoJHK3r-HJY
It’s also because so many people expected way to much from the production team, especially due to the LBFAD after effects, but was not patient enough to stick it out through the 2nd life tribulation so they dropped off earlier. Now the fans who are still watching and realize its entertainment value are doing their best to get this drama into the hot searches to boost its popularity again. BJT’s fandom is also much bigger than DYX and YCY has a good amount of haters. It’s a shame because this drama is only getting better and better as it progresses.
Everyone said SML is annoying, had too much screentime ( fine, I get it ) but the amount of people and comment…
It is pretty tedious to constantly see it instead of all the comedic gold we got in this last two episodes. The funny thing is he appeared probably less than ten minutes out of 2 forty minutes episodes today 😂. And it’s mainly here. No one is even paying him any attention on this drama’s hot topic thread in Weibo. All I see are memes of the 4 sect members recovering from mushroom poisoning on the floor and it’s hilarious. I wish we had an image and GIF option on here. The one with Chukong going from delicately tasting to gagging on XY’s crabapple cake in .01 second has me 😂 😂
Shifu's arc is so fun and better than expected. The only downside is Xiu ming is still repeating the same shit.
I still don't find myself hating him. Especially after that revelation of how the balance of the primordial spirit works, he's really just trying to save her. I don't love him either but at least he provides some believable tension and conflict to rock the boat of our main leads a little. I find him more interesting as a villain than I do the demon lord.
