Same. I’m so glad the drama completely changed it so ZY has no romantic feelings for Yuan. So the romantic focus is on her and Shi Ying. I do feel bad for Yao Yi tho.

I like the changes they made for the drama. But I also feel bad for Yuan. Zhu Yan has no romantic feeling for him but her stunt has him thinking his Yao Yi came back as her. Complications are starting. Hopefully, this will help push Zhu Yan and Shi Ying together.

But this isn’t the novel. They changed that part. She has no romantic feelings for Yuan.

Zhu Yan just complicated everything in Episodes 21 & 22. She’s got Yuan thinking Yao Yi is back. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Nah. ZY doesn’t have romantic feelings for Yuan. She just messed everything up in episode 22. 🙃

Rating each episode contributes to the overall rating? I didn’t know that. I’ll go rate each episodes I’ve watched then. Thanks!

Same here. I’d rather not miss a good drama because of jealousy.

There’s not much that can be done when other fandoms are purposely giving the drama a 1 star. I wish there was a way for MDL to regulate malicious scoring but at least it’s up to 8.0 now. Hopefully more fair scores will come in and fix the rating.

Ok so there’s actually one thing I can critique. I can’t sympathize with Yuan at all. It’s like I forget he exists until he pops up on my screen and then I remember he’s in the drama. 😅

Watch The Youth Memories. In my opinion, it’s Xiao Zhan’s best drama and best acting performance so far.

You’re right. I corrected it. Thank you!

Episodes 19 & 20 Spoilers

Shi Ying and Zhu Yan broke my heart. Shi Ying finally sent her away. 😭 And he gave her his family heirloom, the Jade bone that was given to Bai Wei as a gift from the emperor. He said he would never give it to any other woman. He truly loves her! 😭

And poor Zhu Yan spent the entire two episodes pining after him. Every time she called for him broke my heart. She’s trying to deny her feelings bcs she thinks it’s not right to “dirty” her Shifu’s priesthood with her thoughts.

The scenes in the “wishing tree” were so beautiful! Thee most gorgeous scenes I’ve ever seen in a cdrama. The drama team really went all out! Shi Ying’s and Zhu Yan’s scene were so beautiful and heartbreaking. And him sending her those wedding gifts and congratulations were too much. She looked heartbroken. 💔

The previews for episode 25 make me want to scream. 😍

I’m still not over the “wishing tree” scenes. They were soooo ethereal. I don’t think a cdrama scene has left such a beautiful impression on me. The visuals were out of this world. I saw a bts and they carved out a fake tree. So they combined practical effects with cgi and it turned out so beautifully! 😍

Shi Ying’s real reason for keeping Zhu Yan away is that she’s his only temptation to the mortal realm and he doesn’t want to betray his priesthood. I think he also wants to protect her but his main reason is that he’s fallen for her. So he doesn’t want her near.

Actually, I think it’s more so because she represents his only temptation to the mortal realm. I think he’s using that as an excuse. His real reason is that he doesn’t want to betray his priesthood. It’s better to keep his “temptation” away.

So the Netflix schedule has been released. Starting on 7/11 Netflix will release 2-3 episodes per day until the finale on 7/27.

Here’s a compilation of Shi Ying’s outfits. The costumes in this drama are so incredibly beautiful! He’s so handsome! 😍

I can’t deal with the 2 episodes per day. It’s so good I want to binge watch the whole series at once. 😫

Here is the director of TLP praising Xiao Zhan for his acting performance as Shi Ying. He discusses how impressed he was with the scene where Shi Ying discovers his mother’s fate.
