I was also so happy with the series but I'm on Ep 32 rn and it gets a little disappointing because it seems to go back to the generic xianxia pattern

What you said is all right but her "selfishness" doesn't really make her stand out from other xianxia FLs... I've watched L&D and Ashes of Love and both FLs become similar to this after they go through trials or whatever and find out they're powerful. For me, it was her past self's ride-or-die character that set her apart. The rest mostly follows the same xianxia pattern.

Even setting aside my love for Dylan, I'm sick of how much they make leads unnecessarily suffer.

its a generic trope but I think it was justified here because they had to connect the main plot(ML investigating his mom's death) to her. this isn't some "We played together and promised to marry each other when we were four and now we're meeting again" sort of storyline

Xianxia writers dont seem capable of writing a satisfying ending... loved both Ashes of Love and Love & Destiny but the endings were so rushed and just satisfactory

Is the ending actually satisfying or just satisfactory?

It varies. In some xianxia dramas 3 days=100 years

Havent watched that

yeah they blew up to fame because of EAW

then we'll just agree to disagree. I loved his portrayal of a reckless Crown Prince maturing into a wise leader. His expressions and actions were all so on point and his character was layered.

Have you watched Love in the Moonlight? I'd say that showcases his potential and talent more than Reply 1988.

i dont think so... In the end the feels are the same. I'm rewatching Ashes of Love while simultaneously watching Immortal Samsara (yes, im a sadistic fool who likes inflicting myself with unending torture) and the feels are almost the same. AOL is funnier and lighter than this one, though - at least in the beginning. I feel AOL was also written better but I haven't finished Immortal Samsara so I won't judge yet.

Deng Lun had an amazing tragic, broken expression that killed me every time and Cheng Yi has abundant chances to cry brokenly here. Both guys are smart, powerful, and straightforward - though Phoenix was extremely blunt. Yang Zi beautifully expresses sadness and indignation in the same way. It's a weep fest.

SOMEBODY HELP ME this is too much 😭😭 these writers really know how to write words that will physically STAB you in the heart 😭😭 and of course Yang Zi always gets those lines UGH UGH UGH

"Did you ever love me?" "Never." (AOL after she stabs him in the back)

"I want you to watch me enter the Night Forgetting River and witness how I forget you completely." (Immortal Samsara)

Realllly loved this cute little show! It was weird and absurd but the actors were terrific. They made it all work, and work WELL
I looooved the way Ryan Cheng gave his ALL to the role, even though it was so weird. His expressions. actions and mannerisms were all so detailed - he wasn't stiff or awkward at all. I can't believe that such a silly show actually managed to bring tears to my eyes.
Chen Fang Tong is soooo cute they made a very very sweet couple. ❤️ SML was also a nice character... loved the way they resolved that arc.

Really good filler drama!

arent they boycotting this drama because they think Yang Zi is being subject to unfair treatment or something? 😑😑

Lol i do it all the time 😂😂

they keep dropping cute BTS videos on their channel - have you watched all of them?

Ikrr id be preparing to wrap up everything and move on if this was a kdrama but im here setting up my tent and getting comfortable - theres just something about epix xianxias

Plot might be here and there but the OST is just BEAUTIFULL please hurry and release the entire thing its soo pretty

I reaally really hope so :') im not ready to let him go yet how dare they kill half the good characters in ep 8 😭😭

But i srsly liked HQ and he dies in ep 8
