Yes I see they then to add er in the back or A in front of their name.
One of the best aspect of this drama is the loyalty of brotherhood and sisterhood that transcend time. Will miss it so much.

We need to preach it in each comment section so that people who skip too much can understand Bai Jue and Shanggu's story comprehensively lol 😂

Yeah its full of angst and tears and pain, sometimes which need to be expressed by eyes. How can a -beautiful but cannot act -actress doing with this role? Maybe we as audience won't even cry lol.
Beauty is good but you need to make us viewer feel your feeling and be happy or sad with you right 😂

I didn't read the novel yet. Is it translated or using Google translation?
From the trailer i saw she's the usual bubbly cheerful girl. I hope she's not so dumb or naive laa

At first I also feel doubtful about about Zhou Dong Yu since she isn't the usual fairy beauty we see. But after watching the rollercoaster of emotion in this drama, i can't imagine the horror if this cast is played by a beautiful but wooden actress.
Also I grow to like her as Shang Gu / Hou Chi over time, I especially like her smile, she's so beautiful when she smile.

I couldn't resist to join the conversation since Xiao Zhan is mentioned. That's my favorite boy too laa

The context isn't lost but for me who cerish word for word translation, suddenly reading different sentence but with same meaning is disturbing lol, especially when i was savouring the angst or the heart to heart talk. >•<

Also do you know what Ice Cube in chinese is? Bao Bing'er? Or something? Its so endearing but i dunno how to write it lol

Yeah i agree. What Bai Jue's planned is for Shang Gu to live. While what destiny plan is for Shang Gu to know how much he has done for her in the last 60k years. The destiny doesn't make her remember to torture her. It just the fate's way of telling her, Bai Jue has done his part of protecting you, so now it's your turn. The pain and heartbreak isn't for her to wallow in pain, but to give her strength to make the impossible possible. The fate always fair. It will always give the most hardworking one the best reward. So i see it the memory is a push needed to make her do her part in this relationship. To prove that she loves as much as Bai Jue and never give up untill the end.

Someone wrote that this tribulation is their love trial and also to prove their worth as True God, the leader of Three Realms. I couldn't agree more.

In Indonesian sub they translate it more accurate than the English version. Its so endearing to hear that. They're family after all.

Also i note that sometimes the English translation in one episode is different with the next episode so on. Its the samescene but with different translation

Eps 45

If I'm not wrong Hei means black so that's Bai Jue after awakened, he donned black clothes lol

Hei Jue is hotter, i say. Maybe with Hei Jue appearance but Bai Jue gentleness and Qing Mu's sweetness.

I remember i like Xu Feng from AOL with black clothes too.

Time to rewatch again. Actually I don't mind watching with my native language sub but sometimes its so different when become engsub. So its like having two comparison and which translation make more sense.

Some article in Weibo make me remember that Bai Jue's plan actually :
1. Raise up Houchi, get Chaos power, and silently sacrifice himself. This scenario surely won't make Houchi hurt whatsoever. She's just a carefree lively Goddess who know nothing about tribulation/her responsibility.
2. Plan B is after Qingmu derailed his plan. Stay away from Hou Chi, make her hate Bai Jue, then silently sacrifice himself. This scenario surely hurt HouChi but not as much because Hou Chi doesn't know her responsibility too. At best she's still live, and hate Bai Jue. Whether he live or dead isn't her concern anymore.
3. Plan C since Gu Jun sacrifice himself and Shanggu awake. Stay clear away from Shanggu, make her hate him, take away her memory so that she didn't know why he died. That way she will live and let go / move on. She will love him still, but doesn't blame herself because she doesn't know why Bai Jue is dead. She's on the right track of forgetting everything, but its not what the destiny want. Destiny make the bracelet broken and Shang Gu got her memories back.

Summary he has best plan but its derailed. The plan is halfway already and he doesn't wanna give it up. The only thing he can do is making adjustments, trying to keep it low profile as possible, while trying to soften the damage for Shanggu ( make her forget). Its just fate that disrupt it making her get the memory back and ruined his 3rd plan again.

So its not Bai Jue's original plan to make Shanggu hurtful, just that he tried to do damage control and at the end even fate doesn't go his way.

Actually if I'm not wrong Tian Qi met accident while trying to make body/revive for Yue Mi and become some kind of low demon/immortal, while Yue Mi is Bai Shuo, so maybe the novel will go of the path of Qing Mu and Houchi ( they fall inlove without memory) but Tian Qi will have a big rival because Bai Shuo has a male close friend who she cultivate with. I just can imagine the angst and the spunky badass Bai Shuo lol. I really hope ALP is received better domestically and it will make the PD give us the sequel. It will be interesting and engaging story. Since Xueyi also become ML in other dramas i think its not farfetched that it can be the same cast. If TMOPB can do it, why ALP can't right. We get our ALP's version of Pillow Book.
But actually I don't know,
Is it possible with the current fame of ALP in China?

Actually in the Tian Qi and Yue Mi's book, there's a scene where Tian Qi met Yuan Qi's ghost. He's chose following his beloved as a ghost rather than go to the TianKun ( or something) to reincarnate/make his body back in a thousand years. Maybe he will come back again alive but at the moment of the novel he doesn't. I want the sequel to Yuemi and Tian Qi, too bad the novel still ongoing. Imagine the angst of Tian Qi chasing Yue Mi this time. Its worth a sequel drama.

Finally i make weibo login account lol because after i read your shared article i want to read others too. Some article make me remember that Bai Jue's plan actually :
1. Raise up Houchi, get Chaos power, and silently sacrifice himself. This scenario surely won't make Houchi hurt whatsoever. She's just a carefree lively Goddess who know nothing about tribulation/her responsibility.
2. Plan B is after Qingmu derailed his plan. Stay away from Hou Chi, make her hate Bai Jue, then silently sacrifice himself. This scenario surely hurt HouChi but not as much because Hou Chi doesn't know her responsibility too. At best she's still live, and hate Bai Jue. Whether he live or dead isn't her concern anymore.
3. Plan C since Gu Jun sacrifice himself and Shanggu awake. Stay clear away from Shanggu, make her hate him, take away her memory so that she didn't know why he died. That way she will live and let go / move on. There's no chance that she will remember something, but its not what the destiny want.
He has best plan but its derailed. The plan is halfway already and he doesn't wanna give it up. The only thing he can do is making adjustments, trying to keep it low profile as possible, while trying to soften the damage for Shanggu ( make her forget). Its just fate that disrupt it making her get the memory back and ruined his 3rd plan again.

So its not Bai Jue's original plan to make Shanggu hurtful, just that he tried to do damage control and at the end even fate doesn't go his way.

Xu Kai said it the best : That last line is the best quote in this drama.

I keep rewatching the first life, ah those beautiful time sure heal my heart

its all the play of fate and Bai Jue trying to counter it >.<
