The show/sets are beautiful. The actors are crushing it but I started getting confused around episode 11 or 12…
Just look up the ‘TTEOTM world view + timeline logic’ thread AND ‘everything you need to know in Ming Ye dream arc’ thread in the discussion forum above, someone already explained in detail what happened in the dream arc based on the book. Hope that helps!
i know its a bit confusing. i don't think they specifically reveal if it is their past lives but we can assume…
Ming Ye and Sang Jiu are not TTJ and YXW/LSS’s past lives. They are simply reliving Ming Ye’s memory.
TTJ is the Devil God’s vessel so the Devil God can be reborn after he dies, that’s why they have the same face.
YXW is LSS’s 1 out of 100 souls (fyi, LSS is made of 99 good souls + 1 bad soul but the bad soul escaped to mortal world and reborn as YXW). That’s why they also have the same face and why LSS transmigrated into YXW’s body when she goes to mortal world. LSS is the daughter of Goddess of Space (Ming Ye’s friend).
aaa Ep23 might be my fav episode yet! Not only we got sweet moments from both first and third couple, but most importantly the satisfaction of seeing YBC outsmarted by TTJ and being found out by Pian Ran about the love thread.
Well mind you he was supposed to die on that lake in ep 2. Saving him means that all these deaths lie on her shoulders…
Oh whow that is a long list and pretty atrocious, no wonder in the book it’s a lot easier to empathize with YXW’s motive of keeping on with her mission.
My heart breaks seeing TTJ’s hurt eyes during the verbal fight with YXW in Ep21. But their reconciliation scene in at the tomb in Ep22 really got me bawling my eyes out. All I want is a happy TJJ and I’m glad he felt loved (even if this is just temporary) :’(
The TTJ and XL confrontation scene (the talking part, not the sword battle part), I’m not liking how it’s so obvious TTJ’s cape was held up by a wire in the middle (you can literally see the cape behind him sort of lifted at an angle in multiple shots). Seem small but a very pretty obvious carelessness for a big budget production if you ask me.
TTEOTM is really making me nostalgic about Love Is Sweet, maybe i’m due for a rewatch.
This was the first modern/urban romance c-drama I’ve watched eversince getting into c-drama fandom in 2020, and since then no urban romance has top this yet. The balance between comedy, sweetness and angst is just right with this one.

iQiyi gave us modern romance (Love Is Sweet). Youku gave us epic ancient period (TTEOTM). Tencent or whoever yall need to give us one more!
