Luo Yunxi’s acting in ep 31 and 32 was incredible! Those episodes were just devastatingly emotional for him. Loved the dream in episode 32 the most. Was also curious about some of the lore drops in ep 31. I’m honestly kinda worried how they’ll fit the entire backstory to the backstory in the remaining 8 episodes but we’ll see.
I get TLC's love for his "savior", but would Fang Zhou would have wanted this?
I think he would definitely want TLC to move on. But TLC said that everything he knows is from FZ so I guess the concept of "letting go" hasn't occurred to him yet. He'd rather let go of his own life than Fang Zhou's.
no in the novel she is a prostitute which obviously won't pass censorship so they gave her a softer storyline…
most women in prostitution are not doing it willingly, usually either sold into it or do it because of life circumstances. you are reading something in my comment that is not there.

i heard a lot of bad things happen to her in the novel so i'm glad they didn't adapt that. i'll probably continue reading it once the drama is done airing.
Drama is getting angsty and I'm scared. Loved the small amount of sweetness between the erstwhile brothers at Zhoudi Tower before all hell broke loose again. Finally got the full Fang Zhou flashback too. FZ is TLC's everything, his light and his life. He's holding so much pain over his death inside him ugh and it makes sense. Fang Zhou gave him the security to grasp his identity and become the person he is today.
Luo Yunxi & Fang Yilun acting is so phenomenal and tugs at the heartstrings. I'm so glad they are working together again in their next drama. I need more of their interactions, so layered & complex and the actors are bringing it out so well too.
Coming into this drama I expected more of a Tang Lici, Chi Yun & Shen Langhun trio setup similar to Mysterious Lotus Casebook, but it turns out it's actually Tang Lici, Liu Yan & Fang Zhou as the core of the story. I'm really enjoying this part of the drama most and I can see why their scenes were added to the updates especially with the direction the plot is going for the endgame.
Also wow at the Ah Shui reveals, her being so "blank" at the beginning makes sense now. Wonder what she will do next. Gui Mudan reveal had me shook too.
Additionally, really enjoyed the snippet of TLC's background during the festival. Hoping to see more about that in the next episodes!
I hate romance, recently Guardians of the Dafeng was the first cdrama I watched in years with a female lead who…
you can try dramas with female leads that are more about the FL than the romance - example is story of minglan. it’s not a problem to not like romance!
but this drama doesn’t have a romance plotline so you won’t be annoyed by it.
Some comments are vague enough to not be spoilers but now that we’re reaching endgame for the drama, can commenters please be mindful to new viewers and those who are catching up and utilize the spoiler tags?
While most people are annoyed by Liu Yan's character I am actually enjoying his scenes a lot. He is on another…
the opinions you see on MDL are not at all reflective of the average drama viewer. look outside of this website and you will see liu yan as well as fang yilun who is playing him are getting a lot of appreciation.
her princess costume was okay but terrible head gear
it's so weird like poor girl and ao zi yi are the youngest of the cast but they've been real standouts from this drama imo. her acting has been pretty great especially considering she's so much younger and less experienced, honestly among the 3 FLs she's shown the most microexpressions and nuance in her performance. it's one thing to criticize the character but the go after the actress is disgusting. i don't think she's getting hate outside of MDL though and she's had a main FL role in a decently produced drama before so I think she will be fine regardless.
I don’t think people are questioning or minimizing his grief and pain. Rather, they may empathize with his grief…
that may be the case for some international audience but paternal shixiong relationship is a familiar trope in jianghu stories. the implication in these stories and also based on culture is these people are your family, same as your blood family. so being tied up in grief over loss of your family, especially when this was the only positive influence in TLC’s life makes complete sense.
If you are looking for an actual BL this is not it. The ML clearly likes one of the female characters. Some of…
That's their shipping goggles. At the end of the day there's still no canon ship and the drama is 3/4 of the way through. This drama is clearly no CP and all CP. But who knows, maybe we will get a dramatic confession scene and a romantic kiss? I don't really care because it's a boring ship anyway.
I guess some people just need to have their cope because TLC is so busy thinking about Fang Zhou 24/7 and chasing around Liu Yan all day.
