It's short length series, episode 1 is of almost 10 mins πβ€οΈ
That's kind of disappointing im not going to lie. But at least we will have less filler π The first 4 episodes are on youku but might wait for more episodes before I start watching though. I'll speed through them.
Oh for crying out loud π That is so petty. I agree, they better not take down the other actors content.
Right! I actually think it's pretty cool seeing them all take part in something together. Don't see what there is to complain about. Other than jealousy that the limelight is being shared?
Which is so silly, as each of these guys are doing quite well in their respective careers anyway.
Li Susu/Ye Xiwu watched the Devil God slaughter all of the immortal sects and basically destroy the world in the…
Yeah, It's so painful (in a delicious way. we're all masochists)
I think for Li Susu, any darkness she perceives in him as a person, is a direct result of the evil bone. In her mind, as he was born with it, it's connected. and it's influencing him from the get go. She definitely knows there's still good in him (she's seen and felt it) but whenever she's reminded of this darkness he has, (whether irrational or not), She feels that it's too late and the evil bone has already corrupted him too much as a person. (resulting in a loss of faith) It's very sad, because obviously, this isn't his fault.
I think there's a part of her that also lies to herself about certain things (Bai Lu has talked about this in interviews) including her own feelings. She tries to separate herself from him on an emotional level (she didn't do a good job of it). It's much easier to tell yourself "See, look! There's no hope for him. He's too far gone." if you know you're probably going to have to kill him regardless. Like an attempt at avoiding more pain. It's so messy.
I'm glad you're enjoying it! There's much to love, even with the things that hurt and frustrate.
[Ep 25] omfg, why is Ye Xi Wu like this? I get why TTJ has trust issues, but why does she constantly just assume…
Li Susu/Ye Xiwu watched the Devil God slaughter all of the immortal sects and basically destroy the world in the first episode. This is hanging over her head the entire time. When she actively hates him, when she pities him, when she's falling in the love with him, it's always there in the back of her head. She knows what's at risk if she fails. She doesn't have the luxury of trusting. Because what if she's wrong? How could she possibly live with that? if you compare the pain and suffering Sang Jiu had when her clan was killed , how she felt she was at fault for falling in love with Ming Ye. I feel had Susu trusted the goodness she saw in TTJ, and she was wrong , she would blame herself in the exact same way. Any time he does anything even remotely morally questionable, it easily triggers that part of her, this intense fear & knowledge, & serves as proof to her that fate can't be changed, even if there is part of her that wanted that. That's her burden to bear.
As much as our hearts break for Tantai Jin, as much as it's not his fault. The evil bone is a burden that he bears through no fault of his own after all - she still can't take the risk. How could she? If she's wrong, then everyone dies and the entire world suffers. The truth is... it probably would have happened. It's not his fault, but the evil bone would have consumed him (at that point in time at least). I feel like it would have been kind of selfish of her to take the risk just because she knew there was goodness in him or that she loved him (As romantic a notion as that would have been) That's why it's tragic. He deserves better in general, but that's not the cards that's been dealt to him. It's very cruel.
I empathize with them both.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the rest of the show anyway haha - lots of glorious angst and sweetness ahead!
I came here for Deng Wei because I was curious about his works after watching his killer performance in Lost You…
You're in for a treat. (one way of putting it haha) in terms of Luo Yunxi's acting ability. He's one of the best in the industry. Him and Bai Lu both act their freaking asses off the entire time. Their chemistry is something special too.
Good luck watching and enjoy! Feel free to come here for discussion and questions as you watch. It's been over 4 months and we're all still hanging out here because we can't let go haha.
Tantai Jin`s eyes speaks to my soul. His pain, resentment, cold-ness and cunningness and his eventual transformation…
It was such a great scene! The acting was incredible. Actually the acting in that entire arc was unbelievable. I agree they are such an epic couple! I'll never get enough of them.
I would like to see more of TTJ interacting with his Master and sect brothers.
yeah I agree! I would have loved to have seen it too. Part of the issue of the ending is that it was rushed because of the cuts. It just needed more room to breathe a bit. As you said, even just another 5-10 minutes would have helped so much.

The worst part is, is that there was a scene in the original script that showed this, I think. I remember a part where GYJW realised it was TTJ's plan all along. So they probably did film it. It exists somewhere, and we'll never see it.
I like to assume that by the time the drama ends 500 years later and the three realms are at peace, everyone knows exactly what happened and who is responsible, even if it did happen off-screen. I can't imagine Susu didn't let everyone know.
Dual Cultivation is essentially a man and a woman cultivating together by having intercourse, and itβs related…
It's very hot! haha. Smut with feelings. I'm really hoping that author continues to write for this fandom, because the two she's written are some of my favourites on A03
I miss the drama so much I actually went back and watched the pre-release trailers!! π
I miss it too. A few weeks ago I went back and watched the trailer as well. The first thing I saw of it. I want to experience it all again. How sad that we'll never get that "first time" feeling from it again. π

More of the final arc - whatever was cut with Ye Qingyu would have been cool. (And pian ran)

Here is the other one she wrote. A little bit darker, but still *chefs kiss*
