I originally was guessing FI would come in May/June, MR in Jul/Aug, and 800MR Nov/Dec. but now it's looking like MR Jul/Aug, FI Sep/Oct and 800MR possibly 2026? I hope 800MR can come in Dec.

Given his performance in TD, I think he will be mesmerizing again here in another emotional drama.

Did some research with Grok: The synopsis suggests a conflict, leading to the title Feud, but this oversimplifies 临江仙 (Línjiāng xiān)’s depth. A xianxia story with conflict, love, betrayal, and redemption encompasses more than just a feud. On Douban, it’s translated as Linjiang Immortal, retaining the phonetic name but not the full poetic weight. English translations struggle to capture the depth of Chinese ci poetry, as no words fully convey 临江仙’s nuance. A ci tune pattern tied to melancholic themes, 临江仙 breaks into 临江 (‘by the river’), evoking a setting for reflection or divine encounters and symbolizing emotional currents, transience, or separation, and 仙 (‘immortal’), suggesting a timeless, ethereal presence. In ci poetry, rivers often mirror the ebb and flow of feelings—love, longing, or sorrow. Translations like Feud oversimplify this depth, and Lament implies too much sadness. Alternatives like Song of the Immortal’s Flow, Ode to the River Immortal, and By the River’s Immortal Song better balance the ci form’s poetic nuance and the river’s dual role (physical and symbolic) without overemphasizing sorrow.

The alternate title of the Chinese drama Feud, Heng Men You Hu ("There Is a Fox in Hengmen"), originates from the Shijing poem "Hengmen." In the poem, "Hengmen" symbolizes a modest life and contentment with simplicity, while the fox introduces an element of the untamed or unattainable. In Feud, "Hengmen" likely represents the lost purity of the love between Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi, which has been overshadowed by conflict and misunderstanding. The "fox" embodies the elusive truth, hidden conspiracies, and wild emotions that fuel their "husband and wife war," reflecting the challenges they face. Their journey explores whether they can overcome these obstacles to rediscover a love as pure and simple as the humble Hengmen gate.

you are so right. it is confusing huh? i went to a free site and it has Lament of the River Immortal- FEUD. I never noticed it before since I knew it meant the word Feud.

Just want to say your pointing it out is valid. Who knows right?

On MDL and DramaWiki, the title is listed as Feud.
However, iQIYI seems to be branding it in all caps as FEUD.
But I think Chinese drama titles that contain a single acronym are rare.

second season? Maybe Master returns? just kidding but that happens in movies all the time

I can't wrap my head around these types of questions

This actress is awesome. With the right roles, she will breakthrough and win awards. She has the ability to move the audience. In Northward, she had a scene that she only said "I'm scared." and it sounded chilling to me the way she carried the line in an emotional scene.

gosh I had the exact same thought

How do we know his Master wasn't faking it at the end?

spot on!

There was something about him really stood out the instant he appeared. Some actors have this on-screen presence, and he had it in that scene anyway. I thought for a moment, he looks a little bit, just a little bit like Wang Xing Yue. And yeah, his performance also made me feel, the nation is in good hands.

excellent insights. I wondered how come he knew to look for him in the burning rubble, like why was this mysterious guy just happened to be there

You noticed him too. He looks and feels like nice-looking refined intelligent and seemingly wise young emperor he portrayed so well.

same producer but I also counted at least 5 from same agency, and in the main cast, there are two I know are from TD

Yes, there is a definite resemblance. HRX seems to get prettier as she got older. Yeah, she's good actress.

Early on there were mostly perfect scores but now there are fewer. I think 8.3 is resonable

He Ruixian usually plays sassy roles.
