so not ready for this series to end. i'm already missing jiao jiao and ting yan. 33 episodes are way too short. their chemistry is seriously off the charts. hope they do a 2nd collab. dear directors pls make it happen. maybe next one he can be a vampire prince and her as vampire huntress in a modern setting. but anything would be good as long they are a couple.
Sima Jiao: True. But you have your own pace. Ting Yan: What if I never recover my memories? Sima Jiao: It doesn’t matter. We have plenty of time. We can start anew.
one of the so many things i love about sima jiao is the way he loves ting yan. he gives her room to breathe, to stumble, to move at her own rhythm. he knows when to reach for her and when to hold back, respecting her space while still finding gentle ways to let her feel his heart. he knows when to take a step forward and when to wait, but always so patiently. it's a love that does not demand, that does not rush — a love so certain it can wait a lifetime, or even beyond that.
he has such a rare balance of maturity, quiet confidence and vulnerability. his very presence makes you feel so completely safe, even through the screen. even as i listen to his words, i find myself relaxing, as if my heart has finally found a place it can rest without fear. how can one not love sima jiao? he is just everything 💕
i really just want to say how much i appreciate this drama for respecting us viewers IQ. this is part of the reason i am also enjoying the 2nd arc even with the amnesia trope. they didn't just conveniently forget about the truth spell, in fact they used it quite wisely, making the story even stronger. and more importantly, ting yan remained calm enough to use her logic, questioning, analyzing and piecing together the real truth, even while still struggling with the very human, conflicting emotions of it all. there are no pointless misunderstandings, no unnecessary dragging out of conflicts. so far, the stuff they have added seems to only make sima jiao and ting yan's love story even more beautiful, more moving and emotionally powerful.
p.s. the preview for ep 25......goodness what is this drama doing to me...
omg I thought i was the only one who was down so bad for this ship that my heart LITTERALLY hurts when I watch…
haha you are not alone, i feel the same. i just love jiao jiao and ting yan so much, it's like wrecking my heart lol but hurts so good you know? at this point i am just surrendering to this obsession or whatever this is.
i don't think i have ever seen a drama couple's love that is this tender, to the point it hurts yet also healing, if that makes sense. sima jiao and ting yan's love makes the heart flutter and ache at the same time, painful and beautiful in the same breath. this series just gets better and better.
this drama is seriously so addicting...i keep rewatching the previous episodes and also watch fanmade or bts clips while waiting for new eps. love sima jiao and ting yan 💕
i think from now on whenever i hear thunder, i will think of that epic thunder tribulation scene, of how sima jiao look so good taking on the lightning/thunder for the girl he loves. who knew thunder can be romantic?
SJ: I have special powers so many artifacts and elixirs don’t work for me. This jade pillow is as well. TY: Luckily you have me. Once i've calmed my heart with this pillow, you can continue to rest in my soul manor again.
this is so heartwarming. ting yan is so sweet. you can see how jiao jiao felt moved by her words, words that make him feel safe and just so healing 💕 btw that dream tapir pillow sounds lovely.
Episode 18 TY: Right now my heart feels very calm. You shouldn't be able to hear what I’m thinking. SJ: I don’t need to hear it. I can guess.
ok the way sima jiao gently grabbed ting yan waist and pulled her to him, the way he looks at her, the way his voice sounds deep and sexy and especially the whisper when he said "i can guess," the way they kiss.... 🔥🔥💕
Snake: what you squealing about, you little thing? what's it got to do with you? Ting Yan as the Otter stops clapping and SIGHS. TY as the Otter: Even with a name, it's still the same stupid snake
Ting Yan as the Otter: Sima Jiao, you heartless crazy old geezer! SJ: are you cursing at me?
🤣🤣🤣 Ting Yan gets even funnier as the otter ahaha.
Sima Jiao, the 500 year-old powerful, cold and ruthless grandmaster, relaxing, smiling and enjoying the water face mask ~ so cuteee haha. SJ K.O. by TY's beauty care 🤣🤣
btw, i love their everyday domestic kind of moments, it's so lovely and fun to watch.
sima jiao was in serious, deep thought when out of sudden SNOREEE 😂 the look on his face, he was so genuinely offended. he wakes ting yan up and glares at her and she STILL falls asleep 🤣🤣 they crack me up haha
the first 4 episodes were good, hopefully it continues. i especially love the scene in ep. 4 where FL makes it snow for the ML. you can see the ML's expression shift from kind of frowning/pouting to a faint smile, probably the first time he experienced a moment like this, gentle and calming. you can also see the FL's attitude towards ML shifting from being his walking a/c for survival to using the cultivation gift, not for herself, but to cheer him up, to comfort him. it was a very simple moment btw the two but i think one that carries so much meaning.
