Well, I saw posts on weibo a few days ago saying that this scene was deleted, but again, there is no way to know for sure. We'll have to wait and see.

Key to the Phoenix Heart

well, to be fair, could have being worse. By chinese standards I feel like this is already pretty explicit.

Well, i won't be surprised, cause this aligns with cdramas' idea of cool angst. Hope though they At gonna give as HE.

it's probably gonna be a HE. In one of the recent interviews, Hou Ming Hao said that Lu Yu Xiao likes bad endings. Then Lu Yu Xiao said that Ru Qing Yun (Love in the Clouds) isn't gonna have a bad ending.

I think it goes like this:

JBZ: Was it all for the golden millet dream from the very beginning? So you were lying to me all along.

MY: I was afraid to face you. And even more afraid to face myself.

Did you ever have any real feelings for me?

My feelings for you were more than real.

What did you say?

My feelings for you were more than real.

Do you really mean that?

You are the one in my heart. Ji Bozai, You have no idea. how much I care about you.

Listen carefully, Ming Yi. The one before you is me. And it can only be me.

I personally think that name doesn't really matter, whether she is called Ming Yi or Ming Xian, what matters is sincerity. Bridge tested their love, stone tested their sincerity. That's why he was strike by lightning, cause their whole relationship was built on a lie.

Ji Bozai doesn't care much about what's her true name either, as what matters to him is her feelings, not whatever she was called in the past.

Found this on Weibo. Apparently, this kissing scene might have been cut. Not sure if it's true or not I'll just leave it here

I don't think her name even matters that much tbh.

I'm also confused about the bridge, but I think there are two versions here.

Either there's a difference between "lovers" and "true love." For example, two people can be lovers, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the feelings they have are "true love.", but maybe just a passing affection.

Or, more likely, it's about sincerity: they might love each other, but since their relationship was ultimately built on a lie, it wasn't accepted easily.

Oh well, oh well, this was bound to happen. The angst is coming.

I haven't read the novel, but I think I saw in the comments that drama is quite different from the book, so it's pointless to ask, probably.

Jealous Ji Bo Zai incoming tmrw, lol.

Quite unusual, which is good, sort of funny. I like it so far.

First 15 episodes were great, then story becomes somewhat messy, but still decent. 8/10

morally grey characters rarely get a happy ending in chinese dramas. and so far, they look as morally grey to me.

I don't like transmigration genre in general. But in Chinese dramas - especially. Cause it always ends in this one specific way. Sadly, though, it seems that the industry thinks otherwise, as there are more and more transmigration stories coming out lately.

Anyway, except this small problem, the story is OK. It's not super good, but enough to enjoy.

To each their own, I guess, but personally I am getting what I was expecting. I don't think its underperforming. While it's not perfect, there is a lack of good wuxia that are not romantic fantasy at their core, so I am enjoying this quite a bit.

I think they spoiled this in the trailer already lol.

The fight scenes are very well choreographed.
