Yeah so this is a drop 😞I got weary of the one-sided romance and after spoiling myself on upcoming stuff I realized that I wasn’t thrilled to find out that DX has literally done ALL of the work with the romance. Like all of it. Even the wedding was him chasing her. Upcoming trailers seem to indicate that DX needs to get rescued and then he gets used somehow as a bargaining tool by the villain. I think I just realized after finishing episode 28 that I had stopped getting the butterflies during the romantic scenes, and that I actually preferred DX with Wang Suyi and felt more excited at the idea of them having an arranged marriage. After realizing that last night I was like oh, well maybe it’s time to drop. I wish He Simu did more chasing an carried more weight in the romance. I also realized I missed the very early episodes when the leads felt equal. They haven’t felt equal ever since they all went to the Void.

Yeah I like He Simu as a character and she’s got some good development, but it would have been nice to see her pursue him a little instead of watching the same dynamic on repeat for 30 episodes. I am still enjoying the drama for the most part, but I don’t get the warm fuzzy feelings about their scenes anymore because it’s more or less the same. Duan Xu chasing. Duan Xu pining. Duan Xu getting rejected. Duan Xu pining some more. I would have been doing a lot more swooning if He Simu was chasing him more.

I don’t mind the role reversal at all - if it was a cold and distant ML and a warm FL I still would have wanted to see him chase her fo a bit if she spent the entire show chasing him and getting rejected over and over again. I would have wanted her to take steps to move on and see someone else. To me it isn’t about the gender, just the imbalance of the romance. I get He Simu’s character and appreciate her development, but it still bothers me a little that Duan Xu has done all of the chasing, spent the drama getting rejected and hasn’t even been allowed to have another love interest. It’s not like He Simu is the only character with trauma and a difficult life. Yet the drama has become mostly about Duan Xu trading his five senses to her, chasing her, getting repeatedly rejected, giving some more, getting rejected, etc. It’s the one sidedness of all of it, it wouldn’t matter to me if the roles were reversed I still would feel the same, I just wanted to see her chase him a little.

Still enjoying the drama, but I am on episode 27 and am starting to feel a little annoyed with how one-sided the romance has been for 70% of the show now. We haven’t really seen her chase him at all. I had high hopes for their reunion in the mortal world, but outside of a few scenes of implied jealousy she’s just as cold and distant as ever. At this point I wish that Duan Xu would have been allowed to entertain feelings for someone else. Like how much more do we have to watch him get rejected again and again? 😕I do sort of know what happens in the upcoming episodes, but I was really hoping we would get to watch her chase him for a while. It doesn’t look like we will.

She’s a transmigrator :)

It’s the streaming company’s decision to release one episode per day and they do it for a lot of reasons that I personally don’t fully understand. With Pursuit of Jade we had TWO WEEKS of basically having one episode released per day and it likely to keep their viewers coming back for more episodes and therefore increasing revenue / profit from viewership. It’s probably the same in this case. We are supposedly coming up to some BIG scenes in the drama, and the novel readers have been saying that the best scenes in the novel are coming up in the drama. So if they drag it out a little more, all of the viewers will keep watching and it boosts their revenue. They’re taking advantage of the pivotal scenes coming up with the wedding and the excitement for it. On Saturday we should be getting two episodes.

I think that because they also have fire hearths and things for warmth that opening windows helps with the oxygen flow. If they always had their windows closed, perhaps the fires would suck up all of the oxygen.

Yup!

Just today and tomorrow

We have only one tomorrow too 😞

I loved that one 🥰It’s the closest one I can think of rn to LBtG.

What about if both the ML and FL are supernatural and capable badasses? If so, Legend of Shen Li is a good one although it starts off a little slow. It does have a bit of a role reversal in that the ML is kind of domestic and although he’s a super badass he likes living like a domestic homebody lol.

Yes but where do you find it?

Where are you all seeing that we are only getting one episode Thursday and Friday? All sites I’m finding say we should be getting two?

Is there a link to the bts footage?? asking for a friend 👀

April 15th 😊If there’s express then probably a few days sooner.

He’s also insecure with abandonment issues, driven to that extreme because she’s been pulling away from him. Was it his smartest move? No, but he has trauma and pain about being abandoned. What he did was understandable, even if it wasn’t the smartest. We all also know that he’s got a self-destructive streak in him. Put his fear of abandonment together with self-destructive tendencies and there ya go lol.

Can someone tell me if episode 21 ends on a decent note with the leads? Debating on when to save a couple episodes because the upcoming teasers look a little rough.

If you’re a fan of Chen Feiyu you should check out When Destiny Brings the Demon. He’s great in that one too! One of my faves.

Do you mean he’s weaker when he goes back to the mortal world? Or that he grows weaker staying in the Void but gets his strength back when he returns to the mortal world?
