For anyone interested in knowing how Unchained Love performed in China, it still did amazingly well even if we didn't end up reaching the 10,000 heat index.

He was a villain I was truly freaked out by and afraid for the protagonists' safety. I usually find most drama villains to be unintimidating and laughable.

WHD's movie and then the Ingenious One if it gives a good first impression. Chong Zi might be interesting as well. I'm also hoping either Never Give Up or Our Southwest General University will air as the timing now seems appropriate and they both already passed censorship.

I've seen quite a few posts on Weibo towards the end of the drama where the casual viewers were praising the UL fandom because it gave them such a pleasant viewing experience. When they're watching the episodes, the live comments were generally focused on what was going on with the plots. If anyone had criticisms about the characters, none of Dylan's or Yukee's fans retorted and let them be free to voice their opinions. There was generally minimal fans of Dylan's previous cp coming to attack Yukee as well, which seems to be a common occurrence in most high traffic actors' dramas with strong cp fanbases. The same also showed on all their social platforms related to UL. So people who weren't his fans before have now started following him just because of this.

Yes, exactly. It gave me the closure I need as well.

Yeah, this is an alternate modern universe. They own a "Script Kill" shop where people come to immerse in murder solving mystery role-playing games. The current theme is "The Temptation of the Chief" 😂. He was working, she comes home and he asked her if he could get off work early to go play ball. He said he already memorized the script, he's just waiting for her to add the ending. Then she said "I have," and he thought she meant the ending. Then she rubbed her stomach and said, "I have it", which can also be interpreted as "I'm expecting". She asked: "Are you still going to play ball?" He said: "Not anymore." Then his voice over said: "There's definitely another era where there's no class differences, no imperial power, no emperors, princes, empresses, or concubines, and masters or servants. Maybe there's another you and another me living freely in one corner of the world."

OMG this is the cutest thing ever! 🤣🤣 And she's 🤰🏻 I hope iqiyi will add this to their app for international viewers to see as well.

Wang Hedi, Dylan's name.

And that's a wrap. After some time reflecting on the drama as a whole, I'm satisfied with the ending. Poignant and contemplative about breaking free from the chains of oppressive power and to live the life one wants. Most importantly, our precious leads got their HE. There were some holes in the writing and choppy editing due to excessive cutting hindering the flow of the story, but it's still a solid 8.5 in my list of dramas I've watched and a great start to 2023 in Cdramaland.

This was the most participative I've ever been chasing a live drama and it was a blast. Thank you everyone here for all the fun discussions and always keeping things light and positive in this section. See you in another WHD drama in the future, as he seems to be the only one who can pull me out of my cave to join in the discussions 😁🌷💖

From an artistic pov, the ending shot they chose to air was very poignant and I think it's appropriate to the main theme of the story.

I'm just relieved it's not a story within a story ending.

They couldn't even give us this. Now I have to go and stitch it to the episode myself 🙄

😂😂 well it sure did now.

Not even XD was exempt from her slap 😂

I understand. Sometimes if you feel really strongly against an actor it’s hard to force yourself. Just wanted to make sure you didn’t miss out on Dylan’s good work 🙂

Omg I just realized the Murong Gao Gong shortened to Murong GG is basically like Murong gong gong 🤣 Yeah it'll be a good twist if he's the one to do something.

Here's fodder to feed our active imagination 😁

I wonder how much aggression Sun gongong is actually suppressing just because Murong is the emperor. That was so offensive.
