Her character’s name and meaning "don't exist" but that doesn’t mean her buildup should ignore her…
We still has 11 eps to see her 'growth'. I 'm not a fan of anyone in this drama I just watch for the plot and arts and from what I can see the lu wuyi character is created like that. So many times even nuwa implied that she is too young.
For me she's quite a timid character that does not dare to make decision. In ep 18 she finally decided to lie to nuwa and did not tell her about wu wangyan. That's already a big decision moment. And she tell wu wangyan that she kept her secret. She was asking for validation because she's still afraid of her decision. I know her character will be force to make big decision towards the end.
Idk why ju jingyi decided to take this role if she know her fans not gonna like it. But i think this character suits her and her acting is good. The problem is just the lu wuyi character is played by someone popular.
This drama has equal screen time. Obviously they cannot take 20 minutes to Wu² then another 20 to JiLu in each and every episode. They will all have different screen time, some may have more screen time in two episodes, then some in another two episodes. And that does make sense actually.
And regarding the character depth, we're 18 episodes out of 29, there are 4 equal leads. If they managed to write deeper about three leads in just 18 episodes, you don't think then can do that with one in the coming 11 episodes? There are lots of things that needs to be uncovered still, and the villain is still playing around them. A villain that might be connected to Lu Wuyi.
Why are we acting like it's already the end?? Let's not start a lot of negativity please. We were wonderful and healthy in these past days.😌
Demanding more screen time for your fav only makes sense if the story is being wasted on filler but it’s not. Screen time here is clearly tied to narrative function: plot progression, pacing, and character arcs. Shifting it just for bias would weaken the narrative, not improve it.
So what matters more: good storytelling or just seeing your favorite on screen?

Can I ask what you call proper emotional development? I'm genuinely curious cuz I don't understand... Do you want her to stop caring about her sister and the love of her life? Then do what? I don't understand why this is such a big deal 😅 Not even Cfans are complaining from what I have seen.
JJY’s crying scene felt so heart wrenching, i cried with her today. I am in awe with her acting especially with today’s episode. She’s a great actress.

That why in the trailer she say the line of "Just this once I want to live as myself"
Breaking away from why she was created, a being that doesn't have a self choosing to live for what they want.
