if you haven't watched minglan, please check that drama out! it's very similar with blossom, more realistic and character-centric though.

thanks!

blossom brought me back here because i can't shake off the feeling seeing wen qing in dou zhao for first shots of the drama lol
seeing the poster somehow take me straight to memory of drunk lanzhan scene lol i think i need a rewatch of cql

it's enjoyable and if you enjoy it, it will lead you to more wangxian blackhole (novels, manhwa, audio drama, animation). the cgi is old though and the camera work is a bit old, so if you can't ignore it, you'll probably not going to enjoy it as much.

has the father really turned the leaf? is he really nice and loving to dou zhao or will act up again later?

i'm on ep 17. someone please spoil me i can't handle a heartbreak if it's coming.

idk he might just want to avoid spotlight post-bigbang. after all,

i'm a bit confused with the sudden downfall of wu family arc (part?) it feels rushed and wushan just storming to save shougu feels a lot like just a plot device to make space for songmo vs dou shishu. Is it only me or did i miss something? and the death of songmo's mother, what happened after that? there's no clear conclusion? or it will be revealed at the end?

idk how it feel about the ending... i'm applauding this drama for being atypical with how they approach story exposition. But the ending feels a lot like the usual lore dump. Is this drama being censored into 32 eps hence the super rushed plot at the last 3 eps?

I really appreciate how they changed clothes during their quest travels to show the change of time and the length of their trip! Other xianxias usually won't bother much :(

pretty sure if there's an element of magical cultivation with deities it's xianxia. wuxia is martial arts focused drama.

it is really a breath of fresh air after years of stagnant quality in xianxia. My advice is to exhaust all xianxias you wanted to watch before this one, because pretty sure after finishing this, you'll find most xianxias not as good as this.

on episode 7! amazed by the solid plot line and progression! I was skeptical at first, thinking it would be your usual xianxia. Turns out the director is also the asst. director for Nirvana in Fire! now it's making sense why it's so good!

that mirror demon is so hot, sucks she is only on the first ep :(

when I say trash, i mean it affectionately. it's one of those internet lingo things.

I completely agree with genres don't reflect your intelligence. with WTPR though, what i'm complaning is its writing, how it incorporates cliches just for the sake of it. Business Proposal is romcom full of cliches, but the writing is creative, it shows kdrama is actually capable on good writing. With how kdramas keep churning such writing, it feels like they don't treat their audience seriously.

yet watch me complaining and moaning and still tuning in on Friday T_T

the purposes being making us happy first, moving along the plot second lol

I haven't seen memory loss trope done right in kdramas. do you have any rec? if you want to get out of your comfort zone, you might want to try Are You The One? it's memory loss done right (at least so far). It's a cdrama, though.

yessss! i was ignoring it at first but when i rewatched it, I realized the cliff was high! she fell with her back first! surely something consequential would happen! then i remember it's kdrama. the purpose of the cliches is making us happy lol

don't forget that falling down the cliff accident thing! if I have a dime for everytime i see that scene in dramas I would be rich enough to pay the production team lol
it might be the chemistry! i wasn't really buying them being troubled couple at first but now i can't think anyone more suitable for the roles.

that retreat scene is a pinnacle of a kdrama. a perfect example of lazy writing, very over-used, and logic defying. tl:dr this show is trash but I FREAKIN LOVE IT it doesn't even cross my mind to drop this drama and I'll still twiddle my thumbs until friday waiting for what happened next.
god grief I feel like my grandma devotedly watching those morning and afternoon soap operas. is this a karma for me teasing her back then lol
