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.
It cracks me up that they were just stabbing and slicing each other in the mortal realm and now sitting around a table getting drunk together. It hasn’t been that long yet. Immortals really are carefree 😄
I have to say again Ryan Ding is really impressing me in this. He has a distinct facial expression for every emotion and one of those who act with their eyes. I like that he can do serious and goofy (Moonlight). We need a compilation of all his different “hmm” whenever he’s Chukong😂. I don’t remember him doing it while he was LCK.
So I've been scrolling through weibo and found some interesting stuff, especially a theory about how it's possible…
Order of tribulations. The captions are from what's written on the photos.
Heavenly Realm/Present Divine Chukong - Single for 30,000 years Fairy Xiangyun - Has worked for 3,000 years "Marriage fairy promotion story. Single god of war experiences love"
Boar x Tiger "Fairy fell into the world and turns into a footman. The “god of war" heroic name is about to die" (I think this was the boar x tiger life, but they wanted to keep the graphics a surprise)
Childhood Sweethearts (to note: they split up the idiom "qing mei(her) zhu ma(him) - childhood sweethearts" into 2 and inserted them next to their names. I'm leaving the pinyin so the whole text makes sense) Song Xiangyun - Clingy "zhu ma" Lu Changkong - "Qing Mei" waits for me "Story of raising a golden 'zhu ma’. Story of a lovable husband general chasing his wife"
Master and Disciple Chukong - One heart for one person Yang Xiaoxiang - One heart for master "Master and I have a heart to heart. Predestined woman wait for me"
General and Princess body swap (they’re married) General Chukong - Operating system Xiangyun Princess Xiangyun - Actually Chukong "General husband and I changed bodies! Pampered princess is actually me?"
Cang Hai and Chu Kong Chukong - Prince in love Cang Hai - The Empress chasing her lover "Domineering empress forces love. Got on the wrong wedding carriage, found the right person"
Cat Demon and Tiger Spirit Cat Demon Chukong - Domination king Tiger Spirit Xiangyun - Bravely entering the sly world "The cute tiger seeks to be loved. The white-haired demon king swears off love"
So I've been scrolling through weibo and found some interesting stuff, especially a theory about how it's possible that CK and XY are in a tribulations loop and the heavenly realm/present is the ultimate one where he will break it.
I compiled the details into a discussion post above to organize with photos for better understanding.
And below are the list of incarnations that I'm sure is the determined order that they will happen on screen.
