Nikhil

The list? I have only watched till 21st episode, so I don’t know about it, but have her feelings for him become more obvious now?

I fear that’s exactly how it’ll play out. 😂

I feel like the revelation will lead to some angst, breakup, and separation stuff. But they need to get together ASAP, almost 3/4 of the drama is over and there still aren’t any proper lovey-dovey moments. I still can’t even tell if QF has feelings for LYF or not. I do enjoy their interactions, but it’s time for the relationship to move forward.

Their interactions are so wholesome. I hope they get together after she finds out his real background. I think in the novel that didn’t happen, but I’m hoping the drama changes it.

What do you mean by “metaphor” here, do you mean it’s representative of or symbolically linked to Hindu mythology? Because I don’t think you’re using it in the usual figurative sense. As for the drama, I might still watch it, but I was just curious about the “Hindu mythology” tag since I haven’t seen it before. Tags are meant to give a sense of what a drama is about beforehand, so I just wanted some clarification.

Just because of the tree? They might as well bring in Norse mythology too at this rate because of Yggdrasil, lol.

There are some overlaps between Hindu and Chinese traditions due to Buddhism, but their core mythological narratives remain quite different, Hindu mythology is based on Vedic/post-Vedic epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, while Chinese Buddhist traditions centre on the Buddha, bodhisattvas, and Jataka tales, later blended with Daoist and folk elements. Even figures like Sun Wukong and Hanuman, though loosely connected, play very different mythological roles in their respective traditions.

Greek and Hindu mythologies show stronger structural parallels due to shared Proto-Indo-European roots: sky/thunder gods (Zeus, Indra), serpent-slaying myths, cosmic order, divine twins, sacred fire, and sacred mountains. But even here, the similarity is mainly archetypal, not shared narrative tradition.

My point is they’re not similar enough that one can use Hindu mythology in place of Chinese mythology.

There are definitely some similarities, but Chinese mythology is influenced more by Buddhist traditions than by Hindu mythology. And if things like rebirth, samsara, karma, and immortal beings are enough to make two mythologies interchangeable, then Hindu and Buddhist mythology should be interchangeable too, but nobody would say that. By the same logic, you could even argue that Hindu mythology has more in common with Greek mythology.

How so, if you don't mind me asking? I know Hindu mythology pretty well, and I've also read a fair bit of Chinese mythology, but I don't really see many similarities. I'm curious what made you think that.

And your comment made my day, dude! 😄

What's going on with this drama? It's been surprisingly low-key, and it's only available on YouTube (besides Tencent Video, which isn't available in my region).

Question for the novel readers: what kind of story elements give it the Hindu Mythology tag? I'm curious because it's the first time I've seen that tag.

I wish they get together by at least the 26th episode. 🤞

I think it was filmed in 2023.

The chemistry between me and the skip button whenever the second or third couple is on screen is stronger than anything they’re serving. ._.)

Exactly. I’m just waiting to see how they bicker once they’re officially together and have become each other’s biggest heartthrobs. ❤️

The only wish I have is to get at least 10 episodes of my favourite couple in recent times happily together, without any breakups, unnecessary separations, or petty misunderstandings, lol. I’ve seen so many people say they get bored once the leads get together, but I’m the complete opposite. For me, that’s when the story gets even better. ❤️

C-Drama industry surely loves the word “Blossom”, lol.

Damn, I didn’t even know it’s started airing! Yay! I’ve been waiting for this one to air for so long!
By the way, it doesn’t have any English name? I thought it’ll get one before airing like other dramas.

I’ve already watched Filter! Yes, it was hilarious, but TJC’s character was still serious and smart, though situations did make him comedic, lol.
