Yes! So talented!
Bai Jiu is such a complex role, ranging from childish to scared to energetic to brave to sad.... this young actor nailed all the emotions, AND he really completely switched mood when impersonating Li Lun, so convincing!

Thank you, production crew, for this special episode. <3

I was honestly happy (.......yeah I know it's not the best and the most fitting word in the world.......) with the ending of the series, because it was perfectly in line with how the story started and how the characters evolved..... BUT it was nice to spend other 20 mins with these characters, and see that Zhao Yuan Zhou was praised by the people: he didn't sacrifice only for humans to be safe, but also for the whole of the demon race to get one more chance to be understood, loved, accepted.

And Zhou's loyalty and dedication...! <3

I'm definitely not ready to let this story and its characters go - I just finished and it was such a great adventure! It made me empathize with all characters: mains and secondary, everyone had a great background story and felt tridimensional, real, filled with emotion and energy.

I think Li Lun and Ying Lei will forever live in my fantasies, I loved them from start finish - and Zhuo too, for me he somehow embodied the strenght, resilience and depth of human heart and goodwill. Maybe they went a bit overboard at the end with all those demonic powers and wings and flashy swords (there was a scene in which, I swear, I though I was watching He-Man and Masters of the Universe! And yeah, I laughed although it was a pretty heavy moment XD) but it was right into the character's backstory and growth and destiny.

The plot got a bit tangled/lost around episodes 24/30, but it soon got back on track --- and anyway, the actors and their roles kept growing and giving, so I didn't really care if they wasted some more episodes.

The costumes were SO SO SO damn beautiful, I wish I could wear wigs like that every day in my daily life... everyone looks so dashing and mesmerizing with those hair and clothes!

And the music? The songs are spectacular, I can't say which one I loved the most! Each one gets the inner soul and dilemmas of its own character.
Some of these actors have very beautiful voices too, the epic singing of Yan An in Li Lun's song gives me goosebumps!

I'm sorry I found out late about this story, but I'm so happy that I decided to give it a go... it's really a great voyage.

Eeeeeh, I'm almost finished - I'm just about to start ep33 which I think is the penultimate!
It's indeed pretty tragic, but it's also very very addicting: as you said the cast is great and the characters, especially the male ones and all the secondary demons, are so well-built and faceted!

Plus, it's also very poetic and, although one hell of a tearjerker, heartwarming: the dynamics and bonds between the leads really grow on you, I'm loving this "found-family" theme. <3

I think I'll be all depressed and in withdrawal symptom when I finish FoF, just like when I finished WoH... and also KtL is almost done... (luckily the novel from MDZS just arrived so I'll probably start reading them tomorrow *_*)

Awwwww <3
I was wondering in today's episode, if Shu He managed to recover his hands to play the zither again... i loved watching him play! The guqin is such a beautiful instrument, so soothing and deep!

And speaking about being each other's kings... maybe they could just openly marry and create a peace born out of love! *_*

I'm still hoping this is all a huge, complex and long nightmare and at the end they'll wake up and be happily married in their quiet house in the woods.

God of BLs please spare some happiness for these two, otherwise we'll keep aiding deforestation with all the tissue papers we're using!

Yesterday I had to stop at episode 30 because it was TOO much, I couldn't stop crying! T_T

I agree! From ep24 to ep30 there are several things that make very little sense and that could be resolved pretty easily by asking someone, or using some prop, or some power, or even simply by NOT making stupid choices..... making back&forth with the same issues and then finding out that there are no issues at all.

It kinda felt like they needed to make the story a bit longer... BUT it was still very addicting, I hope I can finish work early tomorrow so I can finish bingewatching the last episodes! *_*

I knew it! I knew he was gonna die, poor Ying Lei potato! He didn't deserve it! T_T

Ep30 and I have to stop for tonight, I can't keep goint - I just cried so much!

First Li Lun and now Ying Lei... both were my favourite characters and, although I knew Li Lun couldn't get a happy ending, I was really hoping for YL to reach the end of the voyage... well at least now he's with grandpa, cooking happily and watching over his friends.
He was such an injection of joy and happiness, everyone needs people like him in their life... they barely and rarely get recognized for how much love they give: constant and firm vibes of love, warmth, acceptance - always there, collecting the pieces of us that life breaks, and softly mending them back together... smiling, caring, just being there.

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished the episode in which she dies and, to be honest, I cried so much! T_T

I'm bingewatching it rn and, to be honest, I don't find the FL annoying... she is the classic "pure hearted chosen one", but she is witty and strong-willed, although she is not physically strong so basically everyone always protects her.
She's not memorable, but that's only because almost all other characters are way more tridimensional and charismatic.

Set aside her character (and the other main female), I'm on ep 30 now and it's so enthralling that I bingewatched everything in a couple of days, it's very addicting! Great characters and interactions between all of them, amazing costumes and sceneries, beautiful music and a very vast and interesting plot spanning through chinese folklore, gods, demons... I'm loving it!

Hiiii! <3
Yes, after watching TU I'm basically on a wuxia/xianxia craze :D
(I'm bingewatching Fangs of Fortune right now, but I have to stop for tonight because I'm over my paper-tissues quota for today! T_T)

Holy..... I could breath only when the episode finished! How many things actually happened, it was a blast! O_O

And hey... Duan has definitely NOT the best way to manage a break-up... ^^'

Ep 24 just started and I had to stop to say, once again: Ying Lei is such a sweet potato, he's the greenest flag ever as a friend and I bet as a lover too, he's basically always doing things and caring and fighting and praying for everyone's sake - he deserves so much love!


PS - I can't believe the main actor is so young, he looks so charismatic and mature in this role!

These episodes are way too short T_T

B'z songs always rock! <3

And, here goes another series. I will miss them, both GreatInn and AoudBoom AND obviously their characters.

Loved the drama - it might not be everyone's cup of tea because of the slowpace and the period setting, BUT it was very well done. Excellent cinematography and all actors did an amazing job. Lovely music too, and very wellmade costumes. I was hoping to see a bit more from Thee's father second family and more MekDech - most secondary characters were actually very interesting... but I get it, they had to focus on the main couple.

Hopefully we'll soon get other period dramas with a m/m couple, fingers crossed!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! XD

I admit I thought something similar too, but not in such a creative way! XD

Enjoy the ride! :D
