I hope they'll give Dan and Duan an interesting arc instead of the usual crazed SML ending we've been getting recently 🤞

So true!!! Knowing that it will have a happy ending helps!

I've been so tempted to try the donghua but trying to be patient since I don't want to ruin the drama experience. It's supposed to be slightly different though since it doesn't follow the novel (unlike with the drama).

I actually did try to watch the short drama but lost the link mid watch 🤣

I wouldn't be surprised honestly. The fact that she uses his headaches to pu ish the other kids says alot🫠

We haven’t even seen the worst and i already want to strangle her myself 🙈

With Duan honestly IDK what they will do with his character. At first I thought they’d give him some sort of redemption arc since his hate seemed to be misguided/ the initial end credits animation showed all 4 together…but now I can’t imagine how they could do it. They might unite together to get rid of the empress (enemy of my enemy is a friend concept) but I can’t see how it would be possible for Dan and Duan to be true allies🫠

Because they do not know how large their circle is. It’s a bit of a hydra situation. You can assasinate the empress, but if you don’t know who backs her, things can get complicated in the future and they can end up with even more enemies. There’s also the crown prince. If he doesn’t know WHY she was punished, his resentment (assuming he likes her), will cause more chaos to the kingdom later just like what’s going on with Duan at the moment.

Duan’s resentment/ thirst for revenge makes more sense after ep 14 to a certain extent. All the kids were tortured in different ways and unfortunately they couldn’t find a way to break free 🥲

Based on what Duan said, the punishments escalated over time. While Duan protecting the sixth prince is seen as heroic and brave, in their young tortured minds, Dan’s attempt to stand up to authority despite knowing that they’ll get punished for his actions pales in comparison since nothing changed/ nobody was “saved”.

I also feel that the hag might have manipulated the kids and fed them false information (like how Dian’s mother truly died) to ensure there is no chance for them to join hands.

Yu explained this previously. It’s mostly to do with the way how Xie reacted when they made her go through a “drunk”-truth test. The final test was the fact that she didn’t recognize or even react to her “How are you”.

So her odd behaviour like with the instrument and “modern” song hinted that she is a transmigrator but it’s just part of her character lore.

From ep 10 or so onwards, they give us snippets of his teen years as the crown prince🙈
We’ll probably learn more about his illness in ep 17-18.

From the spoilers I’ve read so far on here, they reunite when both are at a similar age so it’s probably like what Nikshay said above. He was a teen when he transmigrated so he probably is from a decade prior to the FL’s real timeline.

When they get to go back to the real world, they’ll probably travel back to their own timelines. So hypothetically, Dan will go back to 2016 and live a relatively normal life again while Yu will go back to 2026, in time to meet a now grown up version of Dan (years i gave are only examples).

It’s difficult to guess though given how censorship rules work with Cdramas. They might go for something completely different 🙈

To add to what Ti02 said, it’s because of the way how Dan reacted at the lake. The way he said how 1 sacrifice helped their cause (or something similar to this- can’t recall what he exactly said), made her wonder if he actually planned everything.

After watching ep 14’s flashbacks, I kind of get why he resents poor Dan (even if it’s unfair). The old hag on the other hand can get medieval justice for all I care. After all, the righteous scholars rejected them before they were attached.

You know what? Mid episode I half expected them to reveal that the current Minato was a figment of Wataru’s imagination-spending time with a ghost from his past. The longing and nostalgia coupled with the filters is just too much to bare at times🥲

I’m just assuming they are going so hard on this detail because of the MC’s love and obsession for photography - capturing memories/ moments together is carved to their very core.

Netflix really gambled by cutting off certain character scenes 🙈
PS : for those who might get confused by the final final twist - you can find out more about the character in question via ChatGPT/ online

Ok. In the novel world it's been around 15 yrs. I saw a few spoiler comments from readers assuring their real life age is similar so I guess I'll trust the process 🤞

She probably was a shipper 🙈

He probably has trained abit at least if he’s in contact with illusion great “master” (specially considering how brilliant the master’s disciple is).

The subtle hints are really a nice touch. For an ML he felt too besotted too soon (almost like young first love) but at the same time you can see a glint of his “madness” when ever he is court/ away from the FL🙈

Since the last time I saw Cheng Li was in LOTFG, the difference was even more amplified🙈

In the first episode, did they mention anything about how old the novel was?

It’s possible that it’s the same novel but over time it was marketed by a different name? Even with certain c-dramas, the same drama goes by different names after all depending on the region.

Basically a Burger King vs. Hungry Jacks situation 🙈

Hope....finding out how long he really has been trapped there would kill her. 🙈
