Yes there is no issue about Su Yishui being possessed by the Spirit Spring being an issue in LDT, becos Ranran does not fall for the possessed version....
Except for the one time when Su Yu was in his body when Ranran kissed him to force the drop of phoenix blood to exorcise him HAHAHAH I think SYS is still insisting that Ranran kissed Suyu lol

Oh YES Mr Queen LOL its like a hidden BL cough cough... did the King fall for the man inside his Queen? lol
I am really enjoying Haunted Palace! Its gotten a little slow now and 2 eps a week is just not enough TT
Maybe I need to pretend it doesn't exist for a month and then binge hard lol

The ghosts in this drama reminded me of the scary ones like Master's Sun lol
What a delicious drama! I am enjoying every ep so far!
Kang chul is so cute and misunderstood, I hope this is not a tragic love story TT

No love triangle but there is a very annoying third person lingering LOOOOOL

you are not wrong lol
he is much cuter in the drama than the novel
The way he is speechless when other people are more wicked than he is HAHAHA

If you are watching on another platform with the old order, maybe its not official source because most of them are already updated with the final version, which is the linear time line.

OMG I hate her and Suyu almost the same unhealthy amount hahahahahah

Its almost unheard of to me too! And I have been watching Cdramas for quite a few years

Legends, gossip by word of mouth... lol
I find it really funny that actual lines spoken were actually accurate but the delivery couldn't be more different

To be fair to Mu Qingge, I find that they made her too hard in the drama version.
In the novel, she was a much more gentle person, especially towards a possessed Su Yishui.
She was a supportive role rather than a commanding 'I will fix you' role which I preferred.
I find it a pity the drama could not find the right balance and I see what you mean by her acting a bit arrogant because she gave Su Yishui no choice at all.

As for her personality, yes it will change later on, because of circumstances. But we do love a confident FL as long as she is not being a pill heheheh

I totally agree!!! I went to search if Tang Wei is her mother the first time I saw Julia LOOOL
Can someone cast them as mother-daughter in a nice slice of life movie/drama pls lol

Uvimolla has nothing better to do with her time loool

I am assuming you started watching the first version which starts with Ranran and then it flashes back to the past?
The official playback has been re-edited after CN netizens complained so now it progresses in a more linear fashion, showing the Animated Opener, the 'legend', and then Ep1 is Su Yishui hunting down some demonic cultivators in a graveyard...

The two different editions align back with Ep9 of the drama...
Ep1-8 have a slight re-order.

the ML is not a demon.
The demon's child is more like some 'vessel' capable of housing the demon spring... because his four pillars Ba zi is the most Yin.
They have belief about birth times so Yin day, Yin hour etc

I saw it as a continuation of their fate rather than falling for a different person, because Xue Ranran is still the same person, its just that now they didn't have the painful memories of their past and are sharing new adventures.

The romance trope that bugs me, is falling for a possessed person, now that is a real slippery slope LOL which is the 'person' that is being loved?
The possessed or the spirit that is possessing the body?
Dramas like 'Oh my Ghost' and now 'Haunted Palace' serving those tropes up very deliciously ^^

its just rearranged episodes from 1-8, there is no two completely different editions.
First original version is Present Time, Ep1-2
flashback to past Ep3 - 8 ( 8 goes back to Present )

The new version is Past, from Ep1-6, and halfway in 6 it goes to the Present

Yes the director Yin Tao has said its not really the usual xianxia because almost everyone is still at Cultivation stage.. their fighting styles is more wuxia esp Su Yishui who is quite a skilled fighter even before he started his training with MQG

I don't remember when they explicitly said he was 23 but if you find out which episode please share! thanks

Su Yishui was only a teen when MQG took him in... most likely 15-16ish... he was supposedly 18 by the time she died... in the novel it took '20 years' for her to be reborn ( she also fell prematurely ) drama cut it down to 18...
He should be around 36 around the time she is back anyhow..

Actually when they got married was only 40+ lol
He was 36ish when Ranran is back... they got married after around 3-4 years
How did you get 50...

Su Yishui is 36-38 in the present time.
He looks young because his face supposedly 'froze' when he was cursed with the Spell his Shifu placed on him. It was one of the points of envy for all the other cultivators who aged for the last 20 years ( in novel, in drama was 18 years ).

Everyone else was supposed to age, Su Yu as well, but I guess typical of dramas, they want to cast a younger man as second ml.
