osiajqjwonai not this raging man hating comment I feel so good reading men being roasted like this after watching ppl hate female characters in front of my eyes in xianxias constantly lol 😭 They should've just stuck with the original text and went with no love triangle fr cause CH feels like his entire personality trait is the fact that he likes the fl lol

I promise you cntez are detectives themselves, everything that is copied and plagiarized gets discovered by them IMMEDIATELY. It has happened LOTS of times, Louyang last year had people finding out one of the choreographies and a city design was plagiarized and they went crazy over it, they found out Song of youth's entire script and dialogues were copied from a famous literature piece with no credit and they boycotted the drama because of that. There's no way a drama THIS popular straight up COPIES music from another insanely popular drama and no one finds out about it. I can't listen and compare unfortunately but as a musician, I'm telling you, so many historical cdramas use either sampled score music or the pieces are just similar in chord progression.

I understand it too lol Idc if he did that bc he cared about him or whatever, what he did to him was literal child abuse

I wrote this as a reply to someone below but I feel the urge to leave a comment as well so on today's episode of deep takes by moonrise lmao: I find something in this drama really beautiful. Orchid is said to have the ability to "purify evil spirit" and she actually does have that power, but besides from that, it's a word play and metaphor on her changing people by her kindness and burst of pure emotions as well. Like, she can probably do that by magic but even without the magic, she is so kind hearted, understanding and human that her kindness to people who even hate or hurt her touches them. She's already done that to Danyin, dfqc and Jieli.

No you're not missing anything, Jieli is very heartless and uncaring about other people and only cares about surviving and making a living as she said because of her bad experiences from when she was a kid (she told Orchid that her being too kind is foolish and that people would use her for that, which probably happened to her when she was younger as well). I think this part and her getting touched by how Orchid put her life in danger to protect her eventhough she did her dirty (which she was aware of) is really interesting because it's indicating that xlh's kindness and pure heart, although gets her in trouble lots of times, can actually change people who have been hurt and hurt others as a psychological responset. her gifted ability to "purify evil spirit" is kind of a symbolic word play on how she can touch people's hearts by her kindness as well.

Oh yes yes yesss I absolutely love how the relationship between them is actually written well and is having a more realistic and BELIEVABLE progress compared to most xianxias with 40+ episodes that have the characters falling in love in episode 2 like??? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BUY THAT LOL...That's why I have a hard time caring about the couples (unless the actors just have natural chemistry) cause the love lines are written badly lmao. Things actually make sense here and THIS is the right pacing for a drama with 36 episodes. I hope things don't get too draggy later.
Also YES about CH lol...I find the acting hella stiff as well and the character can just be totally omitted from the script and there wouldn't be any change in the story. Idk I like Bai Lu so I might watch Kuning palace and change my opinion on him pretty much like how Wang Hedi changed my impression on him with this one 🤷🏻‍♀

You're so considerate tysm♡♡ also yeah i saw that too but I don't really care since I've been constantly screaming and crying in this comment section for days now and most people know whose side I'm on 😹

tbh I think your 2nd question might or might never get answers in future episodes but my personal thought about the rest of your questions is that there are plot holes in there lol...There are many plot holes in the drama and xianxias overall tend to have a weak world building in general. I'm just trying to ignore the logic and enjoy whatever that makes sense lmao

NOW THAT IS A MAN OF CULTURE WE STAN!!!!
I love how there's slowly a whole cult of people getting together to protect Orchid lol. This is really the first time I'm seeing ppl collectively stand up for a female character, our little flower is winning everyone's heart ^_^

Idk the art director PLEASE WHOEVER WHO FINDS OUT TELLS ME TOO but the custom designer is Yi xiao ya

I saw one a few days ago I think they're just busy

OH I'M ALL OVER THE PLACE RN... Ep 16 is my most favorite so far 😭 I'm getting emotionally invested in this drama and really hope they keep going with these intense background stories about the characters and all. I felt for dfqc and although he's trying ro repress his feelings, his childhood trauma is starting to kick in and get him emotional all the time, that's why he's suddenly so bothered by everything while he could've for e.g kill his brother thousands of years ago, he just never cared about him hating him whatsoever but he's actually starting to care now.
XLH is literally the best girl in the world she's so kind she misses her shifu so bad I'm just falling more and more in love with this woman every passing episode 😭
Also I'm getting even more interested in Jieli's character, life has been tough on her and I totally understand why she cares only about herself. (infp things lol), On the contrary, I was kinda scared to talk about it since everyone seems to love him but I do absolutely NOT care about Chengheng AT ALL, I just find him a plot device to probably throw in some conflict in the romantic part of the story which is one of the tropes I hate lmao ... He doesn't have any personality and his entire existence seems to be a plot device to me . i feel bad for the actor lol I hope he gets to have a better storyline in Kuning palace with Bai lu.

Ty for the explanation lol and btw I go by she/her pronouns

This draught is killing me

omg today's episodes I'm excited

She's actually dumb as helll and she's nawwt gonna change at awlll please I dropped it and am not gonna watch the rest you should do it too and save your time and nerves right nowww drop it pleaseeee :'(((((

I don't think those are cheap at all...specially for the ones that are body fitting, the designing, wax modeling, mould making and then putting the melted material in those moulds to make the pieces, then all the polishing and coloring...Unless they're 3d printed, those things took LOTS of time and money to make.

Well I wish it goes up to 7 at least...I mean even if we ignore the story the effort put in the production deserves a 7 :(

exactly she's an interesting character

Praying for an at least 7 on douban for this cute drama I love her so much
