This drama makes me wonder about the health system in China. I thought it was free? I mean, in my country (France), it's not perfect but we all pay a private insurance (and it doesn't cost a forture, thank god for that) and it pays for the surgery. Sometimes, there are what we call "dépassements", meaning there's some rest to pay but it's very affordable.
I had surgery 5 years ago, nothing serious and I just presented my National Health Card called "Vitale", my private insurance card and that was it. Then I had a nurse coming every day for 3 weeks and it was paid by my insurance company.
How come in this drama, it's so expensive and for a state soldier (firefighter fight for the good of the people, after all) to not have a special insurance covering him and his family???
I think li chu's father is the leader of evil group😷
Funny, I thought the same a while ago. We know the evil guy came to the future or to our world, and the FL's father was involved in that antic shop, where there was that antic stuff from the other world. How convenient.
Also, is it a coincidence if the FL got her hands on that meteorite? Maybe it's a time loop.
I don't know, the drama isn't that complex.
Still, the drama is better when it takes place in our time period. It's funnier then.
Thanks to you, I was thinking of watching this. You saved my time. Normal female lead in Cdramas is a rare case.
Funny, I watched the drama and I thought she was rather normal. After watching dramas where the FL is a thin little thing who can beat men trained to fight since birth, or FL in rom-coms who are either the best at everything or who behave like little kids afraid of the little physical contact (plus having childish voices and clothes fitting of a 13 years old), I consider Su Shy Yu as normal.
I mean, she isn't the most beautiful female character, just cute. She isn't the most succesfsul character. She is facing roadblocks in her career. She has to fight to seduce the man she has fallen in love with. She resists her mother and tells her off (when other FL characters are weak and obey).
Nan Chu's boss is oftenly on the phone with a Mrs Nan, or Mr Nan, I don't know. But I would bet that it's Nan Chu's mother. Meaning she is going to appear at some point in the drama.
Sigh, well, it's to be expected, right? I mean, there are 40 episodes and the main couple got together rather quickly so angst is bound to happen at some point, meaning a break up.
Which is so funny she keeps talking about killing her and I’m like bitch I’m like don’t you know she’s…
From what I watched, it's her attempt, two years ago, to open the pass that triggered the sandstorm. After that, there was the plan from the elites to get rid of her.
That's what I got from the last episode. But it's a bit confusing. After that sandstorm, the Long girl was put in place as a spy, using that magic to switch her face with the FL's face. Then the FL was accused of betraying the Scorpion Eye and ended up hang but she can't die inside this dimension so they took her outside the pass. Maybe they hoped that she would never come back and would end up dying at some point in the normal world? That was plan A.
Plan B was put into action, though. If she came back, to use the ML who had been saved by the Long girl, to kill the FL. That's one chess game, here.
I hope we'll see her perspective when she regains her memories and to see that she wasn't the one to open the pass, 2 years ago. Because if she was, then she is still responsible for the sandstorm which followed.
I wonder why she can die in the normal world and not inside the other dimension. Immortality is not fun when everybody else dies, especially the ones you love.
Which is so funny she keeps talking about killing her and I’m like bitch I’m like don’t you know she’s…
Yeah, and that's the thing. We are watching... nice FL. The one who has amnesia. Maybe pre-amnesia, she wasn't that nice. Maybe she had good intentions but didn't care who would pay the price.
And what if she remembers and reverts back to the not so nice FL pre-amnesia?
So many ifs. I haven't read the book and I suspect that since it's also a romantic drama, it will end well and the FL won't turn into a villain.
But I still don't like that so far, she was the one with that damn plan to free the demons and she was the one who opened the pass and therefore triggered that sandstorm and thefore killed the ML's fiancée and 14 friends, and destroyed entire families.
Not what she wanted (at least I hope, but as I said, we don't know what kind of person she was pre-amnesia) but nonetheless what ended up happening.
Which is so funny she keeps talking about killing her and I’m like bitch I’m like don’t you know she’s…
She wants to do what the other guy 1000 years ago tried to do. But... but isn't the remedy worse than the disease?
She wants to free the demons to attack the city and the power hungry. But will it make things better or worse? How can she know that she would control the demons once they are free? If she can't, the city will be destroyed and there won't be any place left for humans to escape the demons.
It's a big risk. The plan to get rid of her was to prevent her from freeing the demons.
The black city's elite is the plague, the FL's plan (and the scorpion eye cult) to free the demons is the cholera.
Is there a peaceful solution to make things right? I don't know. Sometimes, just cutting the head could be enough. The Longs seem to be the worse in the City, why not getting rid of them and start negociations with the rest, like the Li (the old sorcerer who has been helping them since the beginning?)
I still feel that the FL's plan to free the demons, is an abomination.

CD is a better person than I am, that's for sure. Because if the FL is the one responsible for the sandstorm which killed everybody from Cammelia, I wouldn't stay with that person, I would prefer to let my feelings die by going away and let them fade away with time.
A much worse person would probably kill the FL for killing his fiancee and 14 and his friends.
I know this is a drama so happy ending probably coming and the fact that there are at least 100 people in agony over what happened to their beloved ones 2 years ago will be swept under the rug to please the shippers but damn, I hate that the FL was the one causing this misery to so many innocent people outside the pass.
I don't understand the hype!!...Chemistry was good but the rest I don't get.Uncle's revenge, FL trying to seduce…
I think it's because it's not an ordinary rom-com, compared to others which are either work related rom-coms, or youth rom-coms, or paranormal rom-com/love stories, or slice of life dramas or classical rom-coms.
Here, the ML isn't a monk, he just has a huge personal loss and decides to honor his mother's last wish. He also wants to reflect on himself, therefore living a monk like life but he is not a monk. The guy was a CEO who used to be a play-boy and who had spent years studying abroad.
That's why he falls for the FL. She is like fresh air in an arid life. And sad life, too.
There's also the village people, who are a huge part of the drama and who gave it a more authentic vibe.
Add to that the beautiful scenery, luxuriant landscape, main characters who talk about their problems and many people fell for that.
Episode 15: Is Nan Chu's mother or father behind her getting that contract? After the crazy actor announced taking a break from showbusiness, the boss of the company she signed that contract with (I forgot his name) called someone whose last name was "Nan", and said that Nan Chu would get another contract or another job.
Her father wasn't mentioned in the show, yet, right? But her mother was. She didn't want her daughter to become a dancer.
I think its not doing that well even in China mainly bc of the airing schedule. There is a fair amount of world…
True but I find it easy to get back into it. Last week, I didn't have the time to watch the 6 episodes so I saved them for sunday aka 8 days after I watched the last episode.
I know, right? There's been three dramas these past months that I watched (one casually, one I loved and this…
Thank you. Ouch the preview for episode 29. I kind of suspected it, though. I'm starting to wonder if there will be a happy ending or a bittersweet one.
I had surgery 5 years ago, nothing serious and I just presented my National Health Card called "Vitale", my private insurance card and that was it. Then I had a nurse coming every day for 3 weeks and it was paid by my insurance company.

I liked her very much.

I had no problem getting back into the story.
