Haha weekend + obession + no life = reading it in one go. I dont even try the tragic ones. You are braver in that sense. I feel like having read novel first a lot of info for me is something already known or supplemented already. For someone with a drama standalone perspective it might be not that coherent is my current worry.

Np I am the same. I read spoilers first to make sure its HE before investing in the drama. I am just happy i get to discuss it this time. The novel is pretty short. Like 100 chs. I started yesterday and already finished.

All evil ghosts as explained in novel but not in drama yet are driven by desires. Yan ke's desire power. I love his entry kn drama and intro which is different from novel but im pretty sure he won't be an anti hero. No sympathies for his wish for the ultimate power which is in Simu/Fl's hand if u get the drift.

Nope. Its a temporary exchange. Once the couple of days limit is up she's goes back to no senses and he gets his (but its taxing which is a plot point).

One thing they did change is the timeline of ML's age when significant events started happening to gim. In novel he was 7 i think. Here i think they said 12. Which is also a tone down cz that was sadder tho. But it makes more sense imo cz no way a 7 yr old would ve survived what he did no matter how brilliant. They might clarify this more later so I might be wrong and they followed novel.

Pretty close. The only difference novel is more graphic about how she interacts with spirit world like she was supposed to be drenched in blood in their first meeting which has changed obv. In novel they can explain a lot about rules and history and world building around them. I rather like they didnt in the drama cz then we r basically being told what is happening. Here we we are being shown instead where is rare in adapted dramas - Zhou Qin is amazing director. I recommend novel if u want more background like what FL is thinking about ML in her head (something i thought they should have monologued). Its insightful but u gotta set expectations realistic to what can be adapted in the drama.

Depends how much they show honestly. While ML past is super sad things like next battle or event for story to move happen a lot fairly quickly. We get an intro to why he is the way he is - hint: maniacal or laughter all the time)- thru his past intro. They slightly toned down Simu/FL entry into the story with only implying how she takes the soul and not eats them to fill hunger. And how she sticks around battlefields for this reason. Lots of implications and less novel exposition. Maybe ML backstreet might be similar. Emotionally destroying also depends how good acting and directing for 'those' scenes r too really. In short, its not going to be scarlet hreo/uncontrollably fond lvl sadness. U r good to proceed.

Fr same i have found my people. I made an account just to follow along after years. The novel was also pretty good.

Np. :)

HE it is

The director is directing and the leads are serving. I didn't realise i was holding my breath when he was tying her veil. THE ANGLES omg. Chemistry is fire and the music during the battle season was epic in ep 3. I just wish episode 3 was longer than 35 mins. Does anyone know where I can find the tune simu/reba was playing?

I finally gave in and made an MDL account for this drama. The wait has me in chokehold. Really hope this is 'THE' drama of the year esp for babao
