Still so many hater lurkers here.. 🤣 I mean if you don’t like the show then don’t comment and go away!…
I'm loving this drama, but I disagree with this take. The comment section is for everyone. Ideally, all commenters will follow MDL's terms of use and avoid being rude to each other, cover spoilers, etc. but they don't have to only comment about the things they like about the show. It's actually helpful for users who are trying to decide if they want to watch the show (or if they should keep watching the show if they aren't into it at first) to see comments that reflect the full spectrum of viewer's thoughts on the drama.
If you only want to see comments from users who love the drama, I recommend creating a discussion topic for that purpose and avoiding the main comment section.
i think it was the feeling associated with the sense that she doesn't have. however, i was surprised on ep13 when…
Among people that are perfectly capable of hearing there is a big range in ability to discern different notes. Some people have perfect pitch. Some people are completely tone deaf. Most people are somewhere in between those two extremes. My understanding is that He Simu can hear (just as she can see), but she cannot hear any difference in tone (just as she cannot perceive any difference in colour), so she cannot properly hear and appreciate music.
For touch, it seems like she has enough of an ability to feel the presence of an object that she can sense by…
You're welcome!
Yeah, it's consistent with what you observed with the other senses. Not a complete inability to sense anything, but rather a very limited ability to sense only the bare essentials without being able to feel and distinguish between the "extra" aspects of each sense (colour, tone, texture, etc.) that are so key to feeling alive and enjoying the experience / not just feeling detached and forever bored.
Further down, I believe I saw some comments arguing that the female lead (FL) technically does have her five senses,…
For touch, it seems like she has enough of an ability to feel the presence of an object that she can sense by touch when a pillow is removed from her grasp and feel around for a replacement object (e.g., a hand) until she finds it while her eyes are closed and she is either partly or fully asleep.
But she can't feel the weight of things (including her own limbs), she can't feel / distinguish between different textures, she can't feel / distinguish between different sensations (like the different sensations caused by light raindrops vs. heavy rain hitting her skin), she can't feel / distinguish between different temperatures, and she can't feel pain or hunger.
If it's not too big of a spoiler, can someone tell me what's going on with Er Lan...the scholar who's obviously…
TL;DR - In the beginning, none of the other scholars know that Er Lan is a woman. The ML, FL and SFL only know that Er Lan is a woman from before the first time they even meet her because Er Lan's status as a woman is revealed in the original historical novel that the SFL read before she transmigrated into the historical story world.
-
Er Lan is a woman who disguised herself as a man in order to become a scholar and take the civil exam. She did not confide her secret to the other scholars. In the original version of events in the historical world, when her status as a woman was later discovered, she was assaulted and kicked out of the capital. In the end, her anger and resentment led her to take her own life. We find this out in episode 6, when the FL gets the SFL drunk and tricks her into revealing details about the scholars from the original historical novel that the SFL read before transmigrating into the historical story world.
We don't know how Er Lan's story differed in the second version of events that played out in the transmigration novel (Transmigrated: The Devil's Beloved Consort - the novel where the SFL entered the story and changed things so that Xie Yong Er became the main character), because the FL skimmed that novel and didn't even remember the scholars' names, let alone the details of what happened to them beyond the fact that they were talented and died unjustly. Hence why the FL had to get the SFL drunk and get the details out of her - so the leads could make a list of the scholars' names so the ML could find them and arrange a meeting with them.
In the third version of events in the historical world (the version of events that is being changed by the FL, ML and SFL), Er Lan's story begins in mostly the same way (none of the other scholars know that she is a woman, but the ML, FL and SFL know that she is a woman), but ends differently than how it ended in the first version of events in the historical novel.
how there were not 3 but 4 levels of "reality". It took a while but finally understood all the levels…
The FL speculated that the SML might be a transmigrator from an even higher level than her level, but they later confirmed that he was not a transmigrator.
Although the leads cannot be 100% certain that their "real world" is truly real (and not also a fictional world), based on the information they have, they can only assume and act like their "real world" is truly real.
So there are only three confirmed worlds / levels: (1) the real world that the ML and FL are from; (2) the fictional version of the modern world that the SFL is from; and (3) the fictional historical world that they transmigrate into.
And there are three versions of the fictional historical world. The first version is the one that was told in the original historical novel, where Xie Yong Er was a cannon fodder character. The second version is the one that was changed by the protagonist of the transmigration novel, after she transmigrated into the historical novel, took over the character of Xie Yong Er, and turned Xie Yong Er into the main character. And the third version is the one that is changed by the ML, the FL, and the SFL after the ML and FL transmigrate into the fictional historical world via the transmigration novel. In the third version, the ML and FL become the main characters and Xie Yong Er becomes a tragic secondary female lead.
Why does ML fall in love with the FL so early? I don't find it convincing. Am I missing sth? I'm on ep 8
This answer contains spoilers and is based on my interpretation of events. Other fans' opinions may differ.
Contrary to what the ML told the FL (i.e., that he transmigrated into the story two hours before meeting the FL), the ML transmigrated into the story when he was 14 or 15 years old, and then he had to live inside the story (surrounded only by fictional characters whose character set-up involved hurting him, using him, or fearing him) for 16+ years. He desperately searched for another person who transmigrated into the story from the real world, like he did, but all his efforts (e.g., the SOS flowers) were in vain.
Until finally the FL arrived and intentionally revealed herself to the ML the very first time they met. Her daring decision to risk revealing her status as a transmigrator to the ML so quickly meant that the ML was able to confirm, at the earliest possible moment, that he wasn't crazy and he hadn't been imagining his past in the real world (including his family there) for the last 16 years. And she arrived with knowledge about the story (which she willingly and freely shared with him), a positive attitude and innocence that had not yet been tarnished by the harsh dynamic of the historical story, and a willingness to team-up with the ML. She could bond with the ML over their shared memories of the real world and shared experience of transmigrating into the historical story (a very bizarre experience that could not really be understood by someone who did not experience it) and she was REAL.
IMO, those are the things that caused the ML to have such an intense immediate reaction to the FL and to want to spend time with her and protect her. Then, as he got to know her better, he quickly developed deeper feelings for her based on how wonderful she is as a person. Which I think is totally understandable. She's pretty great.
Some of this is explained when / shortly after the FL finds out the truth about when the ML transmigrated into the story and about some other secrets that the ML was keeping (e.g., about his health and the plans that he was going to implement but ended up pausing when the FL arrived). But some of it is revealed in the Zhang San Diaries. Make sure to watch those, including the one that comes up after the credits at the end of the very last episode!
I'm on ep 6 and I don't get sth. What does the FL mean when she says we are 2D characters? What's the difference…
The ML and FL are not 2D characters. They both transmigrated from the real world into the historical story world. All of the other characters are fictional / 2D characters.
The majority of the characters are fictional characters that only ever existed in the historical story world and never transmigrated from another world.
The SFL is different from the other fictional / 2D characters - she is a fictional character who is a transmigrator and she transmigrated from one fictional world to another fictional world.
Overall i liked it. Not all of the comedy landed for me. The first several episodes didnt exactly hook me but…
To help with the SFL and SML....
The SFL did not transmigrate into the historical story world from the real world. She is the fictional transmigrator protagonist of the novel that the FL was tasked with editing / adapting into a drama in Ep. 1, and she (the SFL) transmigrated from one fictional world into another fictional world.
The SML is a fictional character who only ever existed in the historical story world. He did not transmigrate from another world. However, after the ML transmigrated into the historical story world when he and the SML were both still young, the SML figured out that there was something different about the ML and that the ML was searching for someone else who was different like him. Later the FL tricked the SML into thinking the thing that made her, the ML, and the SML the same type of person was that they were able to see parts of the future through their dreams. So the SML didn't find out the truth that they were all actually transmigrators who had each transmigrated from another world into the fictional historical story world.

The way the narrative is set up, the issue of the crown prince is an extremely difficult one to manage. Particularly…
I have not read it, so take this with a grain of salt.
From what other fans who read it said, it sounded like the crown prince's mind was completely poisoned by the Empress Dowager, so he attacked the FL and was subsequently stripped of his title and banished from the palace. He lived out the rest of his days bitter and alone.
The ML and FL had their own children, and their son inherited the throne from the ML after he died. So the crown prince and his messy, problematic storyline had to be cleared out of the way first.
