It's been light fun up till this episode and things keep getting better

There is some frustration at how unresponsive Shi Yan is to Shu Yi's pursuit, but as a viewer, it's fleeting as we get to see his responses and small smalls. In the novel, her pick up lines are cringe worthy and cheesy. They're still cheesy, but off set by Bailu's endearing way of saying them.

The edits and re-edits of our FL's draft

So far the story follows the novel pretty closely. I wish I waited till more episodes were released. 6 episodes flew by too quickly. Love Zheng Shu Yi's relationship with her BFF... even though she gives terrible advice.

Zheng Shu Yi is more professional here in the drama than novel

Enjoying the interaction between our leads and how they're slowly getting to know each other. Glad our girl got another chance to have a better interview with Shi Yan.

Just when we were hoping for some happiness for our couple

Damn the evil father! Of all the many xianxia dramas I've watched, I don't think I've seen one that had that much emotional damage inflicted. Let there be sweeter moments ahead (though unlikely).

Reunion in the present 500 years later

Finally, we're at the meeting point where they're reunion takes place and Cang Jiumin's intelligent and cunning way helps him learn her identity. I'm not ready for this drama to end in just a couple more episodes. There are so many parts on the editing room floor that we weren't blessed to see due to NRTA restrictions.

After 500 years...

In the "present" arc/back to 500 years, we see history has changed. The scenery and costumes are truly mesmerizing and have the xianxia feels as we enter the world of the immortals. Enjoyed this arc as we see our Tantai Jin become Cang Jiumin, a much loved and admired member of a sect.

Tantai Jin's madness

Thankful the drama did not share the extent of Tantai Jin's madness and obsession over Ye Xi Wu's death and her corpse. His battle with the general and seeing him remember and reflect on his past with YXW/LSS was another turning point of this drama.

The scene we all expected, but weren't ready for.

The wedding scene and what follows was heavier than I expected. The range acting is phenomenal. I have not been this moved for any other xianxia drama. Luo Yunxi's portrayal of Tantai Jin's existence and Li Susu's internal battle over her love and fear of him can be felt.

All the misunderstandings and pain

One thing this novel's adaptation we see that differs from other xianxia dramas is the way they lay out the story. There is no care about following past stories, instead, they take the most unconventional paths. All the complaints we see and hear about other scripts are done in an opposite manner. This will no doubt anger some viewers, but surprise others.Watching the pain our FL goes through and seeing she feels the guilt of being part of the reason one of the most upright character's death was crushing. No one cries and crumbles in grief like Bailu. She totally disregards her beautiful image and "ugly" cries in such a way that I cannot help but feel the painful sadness.

Oh the angst!

The humor instilled in the drama balances much of the angst and sadness. It's incredibly touching to see Tantai Jin's humanity growing after leaving the dream arc. Reading many posts from angry viewers, but as watchers, we see everything going on while the fictional characters are unaware. It's part of the plot and I'd hoped that it wouldn't affect viewership/ratings, but it seems like there's a lot of antis and toxic fans stirring things up behind closed doors and that influences a lot of the audience as well.

It just keeps getting better and better

The dance on the boat scene is so memorable. Love the pace and story as it progresses. Hope our leads continue to take up most of the screen time as that's what we're here to see. Everything else pales in comparison.

3rd episode and still consistently excellent

So very impressed by the costumes, scenes, effects and particularly the acting. Both leads have mastered their expressions and mannerisms that I felt drawn into the story.

Shu Yi is clear about who she's interested in!

Funny to see the different relationships in this drama. Hoping we get to see character growth in the drama though it's lacking in the novel. Either way, I'm loving seeing Bailu and Wang Hedi costar in a modern drama together.

Already despise the 2nd FL

Second FL gives Sujin vibes from TMOPB. Already dislike her immensely and hope we don't see her taking up a lot of screen time.
