Yeah, majority of them seems to be real haters trying to drag the drama and actors down and not actual critical reviews.

Exactly, someone mischievous and lively.

Yeah, it's a pity. A female wuxia lead would be great to see. Hopefully it'll at least be evenly balanced on screen.

Do you mean on Douban? I saw it was also partially because of the organized hater groups coming to give out 1 stars. Although some cnetz seem to be really upset today about the giving up on revenge in the name of love plot.

I'm not sure what goes on externally since I mainly stay within the Unchained Love discussion topic on Weibo and I've only seen positive comments about their CP there. Comments under their BTS clips are usually about how sweet and natural they acted their characters. I support the new no CP stirring rule as it will cut down on a lot of the toxicity.

Hey, responding to you here instead of under UL. I checked on all the different synopsis, including the novel's, and that's something that got lost in translation. It's more along the lines of a fairy or sprite, and the original text is closer to "eccentric sprite". I read it as a figurative description of her personality. She's a human. She just has really advanced martial arts skills that's magic-like, similar to what you see in Blood of Youth.

From the previews, it looks like the FML is the one who can fight and he is more of a Mei Changsu kind of character. Although I’m hoping he has hidden abilities because his fighting scenes in ADoS were very good.

That random voiceover made me nervous this could be the case. I will flip tables with you.

They also cut another bed kiss after she tried to get him drunk and he took her back to her room. Then it flashed to the outside view and the next thing you see is him locking up the secret passage to keep her from following. In the teaser trailer, there was a scene of him pushing her down on the bed and kissing her. They were wearing the same clothes. So I think he tried to stop her from stopping him by kissing her into submission lol.
The first bed kiss was the one after Fu Wang interrupted them and XD jumped on YL after he left. You can see smeared lipstick on XD's lips.

The Ingenious One should be premiering next in a couple weeks. Rumor is late Jan or early Feb.

As you've noticed based on what's shown on screen versus snippets from the BTS, anything that's deep kissing was all cut. Only light pecks were spared. Unfortunately, the leads filmed mostly deep kisses so we barely have anything left.

After that speech, I vote Wanwan to be Empress and rule them all.

That’s the more important one. Our emotions were climbing with them as the tension escalated and the cut just abruptedly ended it so you couldn’t quite get the full feels from when YL decide to give in to him. A pity.

YL: You lustful bastard.
XD: Then you can kiss me instead.
*YL bites him*
XD: You must be born the year of the dog! I let you kiss me, not bite. The bite from yesterday still hasn’t healed yet.
YL: You’re one to talk! (Probably meant about him force kissing her.)

They uploaded it.

I want a bts of how they put those kiss prints on there. Did Yukee do them herself? 😂

Apparently a new bts for the boat scene where you can see YL kissing XD appeared as an extra during the episode but was taken down. So now everyone is begging for it to be put back.

I saw someone say she would wash his hair too! Would love to see that.

Yes, he promised this earlier when the drama started airing because it was so hot and reached 9,000. But due to all the cutting lately it stopped going higher and maybe even started dropping. This is probably why iQIYI has updated their airing schedule, too.

It’s only effective on China’s iQIYI site. Some people left instructions. It basically said they have to watch every episode, no skipping intro and outro or at extra fast speed. Take screen captures. Leave live comments. Share the videos all over their social medias, replay a lot of time throughout the day, etc…

He's the only reason why I could tolerate watching her scenes.
