(A bit out of topic) I personally love good tragic endings cause they're cathartic and memorable but 90% of these dramas CAN'T do it properly. The entire idea that shaped 2521 came from a song about love not lasting forever and all and the writer basically knew she wanted a breakup in the end the moment she started writing it but failed to wrap it up the way it was supposed to. Writing good sad endings is really hard and tbh you can't just slap a sad ending in there and go with it lmao...The red sleeve cuff was the only drama that did an actually good and perfectly wrapped up sad ending. The climax and the overall world the characters lived in started breaking apart gradually and got totally destroyed in the end. Everything being cutsy, sweet, lovely and then BOOM! SE! is a really bad way to write a story lol...I don't think this one will have that, it's not even that angsty and heavy compared to other dramas of the same genre out there.

Watching the Take changed my perspective about female portrayal in media so much, in a really good way...But it's also bad for your blood pressure cause you start noticing how sexist the entertainment industry and the people following it are and that has you getting mad all the time lmao

Yeah Douban is the one and only site that never lies to you lol...*cough Douban/MDL ratio's do also never lie*

Those videos are sooooo good

Female characters ALWAYS have to "trust" everyone, understand everyone, keep it cool with everyone's bs, think about the priorities of everyone and their mothers before theirs, instantly figure out the "truth" when they're caught in the worst situation possible and be superwomen with skyrocketing IQ and superpowers who are saints but not Mary sue's at the same time and do everything perfectly to not annoy the fragile nerves of dear audiences for some minutes. lmao

If she turns her back on him over HER "priorities" later, I better NOT see you commenting about how heartless and stupid she is.

Lmfaooooo....the freaking man she wants to god damn MARRY in two days suddenly locks her up, destroys her garden, tells her he hates her and wants to k!ll her and starts acting strange as hell over night, she doesn't even have the right to panic and get anxious????? She knows why this and that blah blah but fvcking please give her at least a couple days to sort her thoughs out and THINK????
I am seriously in awe of how in every single drama female characters are always demanded to be "understanding" of men...she has done EVERYTHING not just for him, but for the peace of her hometown and other people so far. nah she ain't stupid and she has not turned dumb after falling in love, she's just under so much freaking pressure rn, why do YOU not try to understand her????? It's always "why is SHE so selfish" in every fvcking show...sick and tired of this bs...I don't care UNTILL y'all start bringing the ugly double standards to the table, this kind of a thing makes me sooo mad...And if i say this is misogyny everyone tells me I'm overthinking lol

Does anyone know what other dramas the company (other than iqiyi) that produced this have under their name?

Really hope every single person involved in this show including the staff and bts crew, even all the VAs get FAT checks, travel to the most luxurious places in the world and have the best time of their lives

I think it was intentional. Who she was in her past life doesn't matter to her and she doesn't feel any connection to it, she sees herself as the person she is now. That's why it wasn't made a big deal of and i like it because it shows that she doesn't need to be a powerful goddess to be cool or whatever, she's amazing as little Orchid even without the spiritual power because of her personality, empathy and wisdom.

Yup. Thank god she left that label, she has complete creative freedom to choose better dramas and a wider range of characters now

Would k!ll to see the storyboards/custom and architecture sketches of this drama 😭

Not sure what to say about the plot and YZ's role is similar to her past ones BUT her character is so sooo funny and intelligent in the drama I actually really love Yandan (the mortal realm version of her). But that's pretty much it, I only like her lol

Siming was rumored to be starring YM and Gongjun but there has been no news about it forever now and they're both filming another show by Stellar media rn so I think people who leaked those rumors just mixed things up. Genuinely hope this writer and director team up and do Siming tgt w/ Li Yitong as Siming. Imagine cameos from fairy and devil in that drama 😭

Cryogenically freezing myself till Sat. Goodbye for now everyone 👋🏻

I know that but that sounded kind of two sided to me, her biggest insecurity is being poor and she's suffered from it a lot, that's why it made me sad :(

tbh It wasn't a rollercoaster for me, I was just constantly feeling depressed and sad as hell watching that show lmao

Never have I ever seen characters in xianxias actually freaking QUESTION the stupid and unreasonable fate/destiny and having to choose between love and responsibilities rules ?? XLH defying gravity for the hundredth time. This woman is too precious and too wise to be suffering like that 😭 don't do that to my girl
