Who?

It's up there already! You can find it in the 2023 section, between Only Friends and Last Twilight.

Now I just have to win the lottery and produce this… honestly, when they were alive, I didn’t much like the second pairing… after they died, I realized they brought the spice and excitement to show 😭
Really wish we could see more of those characters…

Honestly, the that might be his best option. Maybe they just wander around the jianghu, protecting the innocent and repaying for the bad karma in their first 2 lives. Both of them are pretty competent fighters. They drink wine, wander, wax poetry beneath blossoms, and exploring the world and vibing. Maybe we petition for special episodes haha

Do you write? Because I would honestly read Yin Zhou’s second chance, in which he leaves Yin Qi and Pei Yanzhi tf alone, tells his mom to take a hike, cleans up his uncle’s fraction himself, romances his soul mate, and becomes the Crown Prince he was destined to be if only he hadn’t been so blinded by spite and power. (And maybe he succeeds in killing dad, because he was the true villain of the show lol)

Yeah, rebirth is definitely looser in period dramas now, whereas transmigration is still strict. So dramas like Si Jin, The Legend of the Female General, The Princess Royal, etc. fly now, but unfortunately, The Double aired before that took effect...oh well… I wish we could get full transmigration long form dramas, but I’ll settle for dramas like Romance on the Farm or Love Game in Eastern Fantasy has to be explained away as a dream, video game, for now.

I would also be down for Yin Zhou to get a second chance too! Couldn’t Yin Qi have let him borrow the wolf’s fang haha

Ruyi is the best. The perfect combination of qualified and deadly, kind and juducious, but also innocent and awkward. They stayed equal till the end! Jiang Li definitely got the short end of the stick, but I think the dad finally understood his wrongs and lived with them till the day he died from the guilt. Since we don’t know for sure if there’s an afterlife, I think that’s the best we can hope for 😞I think after they caught the stepmom, the drama really started unraveling, but it made it up for me when Xue Fangfei confronted her ex-husband. But what happened with Jiang Li is I think that’s why I prefer rebirth dramas, like the Blossom, but I understand The Double was created during that weird rebirth censorship phase…

Omg! I didn’t notice Ruyi there; she’s so OP haha Honestly, idgaf. I’m going to live in illusion that Ruyi and Yuanzhou survive because they’re too badass to die and really do have 2 kids in the mountains… Yeah, at some point, I honestly stopped crying because I was too emotionally numb from it all. Or The Double? That open ending made me want to tear my hair out!

I love that drama. I was just rewatching it! I think I’m still traumatized by A Journey to Love. They make you believe the main couple is alive, but then it turns out the final surviving character was just experiencing a mirage while dying…that was just cruel of the writers…

Haha same. I set my bar on the dusty floor when I start a period Cdrama…

I love that ❤️ Thank you!

The gods would be too cruel to kill them on a bridge twice haha

I’m glad the jury has spoken! I thought I was going crazy there for a second lol I’m still recovering from Returned Master…

Omg same! I’m legit so traumatized 😫Cdramas were cheaper than therapy… now they’re a cause to go to therapy lol
The time skip + the streets were totally empty set off my alarm bells. There’s always a time skip, a series of flashbacks, looking out over a familiar scenery, amid falling blossoms and/or snow… it was perfectly set up to leave Pei Yanzhi’s fate in Japan open ended… but I’ve decided the reactions are too legit to be a dream lol (gotta keep telling myself that haha)

I hate that I've watched so many Chinese dramas that my first thought when Pei Yanzhi showed up at the bridge was: Is Yin Qi experiencing an illusion?
After watching the ending twice, I choose to believe that they're reunited and he was cured of his illness and Yin Qi was surprised and crying tears of joy. But I genuinely hate that my mind is trained by the trauma of watching Cdrama open endings to assume the worst...

I’m so glad I waited to binge… I feel like I’m already going crazy and it’s only 2 more days left lol

Hahaha thanks! I just caught up to Ep. 7 and it struck me that Pei Yanzhi and Yin Qi must’ve been so dumb in their first lives to get fooled. It’s only because Yin Qi literally already lived through this that they could finally win… but now I’m getting worried because Yin Qi’s not smarter, just more experienced. And now that he’s outlived the past time line, how is he going to navigate this new future and will he spot Pei Yanzhi’s noble sacrifice BS in time before it’s too late 😥

I've been binging the show and I'm finally at Ep. 5 now I understand why Pei Yanzhi's plan blew up in their faces... it kinda sucks 😭
Like yes, Yanzhi... let's help join two slimy, powerful, conniving mass murderers who thirst for power and both your and Yin Qi's heads on a silver platter and hope that they'll spare y'all and the emperor and not stab y'all all in the back...
I finally understand what his servant meant when he said his love for Yin Qi makes him stupid...
But the Ep.5 finale makes it all worth it 🤭

"“Do you want me to become a monk for you? How long do you want me to stay ordained?!”
“Even if you stayed ordained until you reached nirvana, I still wouldn’t forgive you.”
"Does yoga not teach you to forgive at all?"
"It’s yoga. Not Dharma. Besides, my motto is that if you keep forgiving, you’ll never get your revenge.”
"But… forgiveness is the highest form of giving!””
This entire convo had my dying! I haven't laughed this hard in a long time~

Fr 😭 He is the strongest one 😭 When I was his age, I was stressed over what the uni cafeteria was serving that day...
When Wayu was kiss-distracting Ice after being kidnapped for the nth time, I literally had a movie reel flashback of all the times Wayu had been sexually harassed and/or assaulted, drugged, etc. Job or not, he's just a college student trying to support his family.
Yes, and in the next lifetime too! I need him to have that happy ending or I'm going to riot!!!
