iQiyi dramas are always pain because they tend to air way earlier in the morning for me, like this one is 5am. as much as I want to stay up and wait, I must fix my busted sleeping schedule 😭

I really loved those animated/illustrated intros from TTEOTM and LBFAD. I was hoping we'd get one here 😭

book is not finished, but based on some spoilers for the drama, seems a happy ending is likely

I don't like her either 😭 I know it's still early so she might have some kinda redemption arc but right now, I don't want to watch her lmaooooo

according to the viki page, eps 1-3 should be uploaded tomorrow!

omg, I was thinking the same. she looked SOOOO beautiful in that scene 😭

if you don't mind being a couple days behind, I would go watch it on viki. they have great subs!

bad subs, but fortunately it seems like viki picked this up ^^

I'm so excited!!!!!! 😭😭😭

omg I didn't even know this was airing today

yes, I'm pretty sure they won't because there are some copyright things that would prevent it. I haven't read the novel though so not sure if they remember there either

bai shuo = yue mi
fan yue/jing yuan = tian qi

yeah it is 😭😭 there was an emergency broadcast last week or something so no eps

I can't believe I'm staying up until 5am just to watch this.... I am so addicted 😅

if you're into kdramas, I highly recommend When The Phone Rings. it is literally sooooo good and currently airing, but unfortunately we only get 2 eps per week 😭

yes and no!

the main characters here (bai shuo and fan yue) are side characters from ancient love poetry (yue mi and tian qi). however, I heard there might have been some copyright issues, so there probably won't be any acknowledgement of memories or anything that happened in ancient love poetry. watching alp might help give some minor context on their relationship, but it's not a direct sequel to that story or anything, so there's no real need to watch it. this drama takes place many years later in that same universe.

hopefully this helps :)

I also didn't really like Zhang Linghe's other dramas haha, I think he's gotten some unlucky scripts.. but Story of Kunning Palace is good, I like his role in that drama. it was the first time I really took notice of him, so maybe you'll like it too!

I think these three fit well:
love of nirvana
love between fairy and devil (xianxia)
ancient love poetry (xianxia)

and these, though the FL isn't as "nice":
love like the galaxy
story of kunning palace
till the end of the moon (xianxia)

kind of! this is the "first season": https://kisskh.at/33701-douluo-continent

but according to some other commenters, it might not be a direct second season and more of a standalone thing

I really love Joseph too so I'm praying this is true 😭😭
