I'm currently watching Story of Yanxi Palace, and I'm just in awe of Wu Jinyan! I'm glad I discovered her through The Double. Also, echoing your thoughts on LYQ: his storyline in Perfect Match took me by surprise, and I ended up watching his whole arc. And Wang Xingyue was super charismatic as Duke Su! I'm anticipating his drama with Xiang Hanzhi. 💗

You might also want to check out The Bad Kids! That's where I first saw Li Meng, and she always pulls off grey, nuanced characters so effortlessly.

May I ask what prompted them to re-edit some scenes? Was it for continuity?

Li Meng, Wu Jinyan, and Liang Yongqi are on a league of their own. Such good actors!

Got this, thanks!

May I ask what's the tone of the first few episodes? Is it mystery and drama, or is there comedy as well?

Didn't expect Wei Jiu to be such a comic relief. Imagine being so petty that an immortal master didn't take you in as her disciple because of your looks, and now it's got you vowing for revenge. I don't know, he's unintentionally funny. I'm always amused when I see him on screen.

Xiang Hanzhi's such a promising young talent. Tuning in for this!

Oh this is an interesting tidbit! Thanks for this. + love your pfp! Xiao Bai's such a cutie

Oh definitely! Haha

Got it, it's interesting to know that it's not a rule but more so can be used as a plot device. Thanks for confirming!

Very cute! I kinda miss Qingge and her antics.

That's a relief! Also glad that he's booked and busy. Thanks for the info! ❤️

I have a question: in the xianxia genre/universe, can a master and disciple fall in love? I remember reading in a web novel ages ago that falling in love with your master and vice versa is forbidden. Just wanted to confirm if that's an ironclad rule in the literary genre.

Can't get over Mu Qingge categorizing Yishui as a ferocious beast and jotting down ways to tame him, plus documenting it on her scroll of culinary recommendations 😭 Qingge's such a wine and food-loving badass

Yishui found his own therapist in Ranran 😭😭

May I ask if Deng Wei was shadow banned or did he have any contract disputes? (Please correct me if I'm wrong) I haven't heard from him in a while, so I'm glad his new drama's currently airing.

It's from episodes 20 to 28.

Me too! It's also likely that I'll drop it once their story ends. Perhaps the reason that I'm drawn to this couple is because of the differing levels of maturity that both Haode and Lord Shen have shown so far. And like you, I also prefer more mature leads!

I initially dropped this after episode 6 because the writing isn't my cup of tea but went back to watch episode 20 onwards for Haode and Shen Huizhao's arc. I am sooo in love with their story; it feels grounded.

Liang Yongqi also had such an excellent run in The Double, and it's nice seeing him flaunt his acting skills again here. Episode 24 gave me goosebumps!

Thank you for confirming!
