Ok, thanks for the heads up. 😁

Sometimes comments seem to go missing as well. If the admin person is removing stuff, at least we need to be informed about which item and why.

Or could it be a bug? 🤔

Ahhh...no worries. Then next time should you come across it again, you know where to post it. 🙂

Hi hi...So far I have not been able to complete any new drama beyond the mid point. So let's see how this one goes. But yes, so far, not bad. But I just don't feel for the FL, ML is fine. 😅 I don't hate the FL but somehow she is not bringing the emotions of the character or portraying her character in a way that I will feel for her. Anyways....

So yeah, will see if FL will grow on me. ML is adorable, like a naughty kid who does the nicest things when least expected. LOL

Which episode are you at?

So honest of you! LOL! 🤭🤭

I will see how it goes after I watch a few more episodes. 😁

Google translate can be really bad, it helps if one knows a little bit of Chinese but if not, then one will end up taking the translation wholesale.

The synopsis here is a done deal? Or will someone with better knowledge of the story synopsis be able to update it?

I just started watching this drama. So far loving the pacing of the first few episodes and getting to know the characters.

For now, not feeling too much for the FL's character yet. But I can see that the ML's character GJS has a heart of gold under that playboy facade. Gives to the needy and even when he gets back at LYR, he does not go overboard and make her do what she says she will do and gave her a way out. What a gentleman! 🫰🫰🫰

You are right! When I went to read the iQiyi synopsis, it gives a much clearer picture of what the story is about. The summary here makes it seem like a train your husband drama. LOL Thanks for redirecting to read the iQiyi synopsis.

Here is the iQiyi synopsis for those who want to read it:

Destined is a period drama directed by Yin Tao and starring Bai Jingting and Song Yi. Based on Mo Shu Bai's novel of the same name, the story follows Liu Yuru, the daughter of a cloth merchant who suffered from a young age. She is married off to notorious playboy Gu Jiusi, who looks down on her. However, Liu Yuru decides to learn business from Gu's mother and becomes adept at it. She changes her view of Gu Jiusi and discovers his pure and sincere side. Meanwhile, the commander of Yangzhou causes chaos, forcing Gu's family to flee. Gu Jiusi matures and becomes the Minister of Revenue, working to lighten the tax burden on the people. Liu Yuru establishes a women's charity and builds business relationships to bring prosperity to the people. Together, they create a prosperous era.

Now that you mentioned it....yes, it is gone! But copyright would apply to most of the pics in the photo gallery and we are not profiting from any of this. Anyways....

Do you still have the link? You can put the link in the below discussion thread. 🙂🤡

I think Netflix version is the cleaned up version, where they put filters in for the makeup and cleaned up the modern pipes etc. These mistakes should be found in the original episodes.

Kwanto was saying INT fans don't have access to Douyin China. 😞

Mistakes spotted in TTEOTM that are LOL.

1. Modern plumbing spotted in the Sheng King's palace as TTJ walks through the corridors. Sheng Kingdom is more advanced than Jing Kingdom? I guess so since they won the war the last round. 🤭
2. Probably a lighting or sound guy in the background as our little fox bewitches all the men. He probably got bewitched too. 😍
3. Wardrobe inconsistency with LSS, yellow scarf changes side in a split second.
4. We discover TTJ's source of endless blood. From a "blood" line!!! 🤣😂🤣
5. This one we have seen before, Xixi professionally keeping his hand in the cuffs as the prop broke during the scene.

Enjoy.

And adding on to your list of better CGI, fight scenes, sets and arts. The various companies need to up their game on editing!

I think it is a common complaint that Cdramas end so abruptly or have endings that make no sense despite having a great flow of the show in the beginning. I think they have plenty of room for improvement for that! Our TTEOTM ending is one such example. It took many of us quite a well to come to terms with the ending with some folks immediately giving it a low rating because they were upset. Sighs...

Ahhhh, looks like the C audience generally feel the same way as us about Bitchang. LOL

We should acknowledge that CDL did a good job making us hate this character. 🤣😂🤣😂

If the RSVP numbers have to made by buying up the slots, that in itself is a fail. This should be organic. TTEOTM has raised the bar really high. It is more than 5M because it is that good and not because the fans / teams spent money to buy up RSVP numbers. It sells itself!

Now give us the extended version! WE DEMAND IT! lol. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Nice updates! Thanks!

I wonder what are the C audience's thoughts on the nickname Bitchang? LOL

Is there any way for us INT fans to sign up a Douyin account? I don't think it is available in the Google Play store (which is to be expected).

Nice! Do you know if any petitions for Cdramas were answered when posted on this site? If yes we should start our petition for TTEOTM full version here too!

I'll start the ball rolling...I think LYX is such a clothes horse, he made everything look so good. Here are a few of the outfits I liked:

The ADG black and gold costume. It matches his eyes and he looks so sexy in it. Dang, and he didn't even have to flash any skin at us. LOL 😃😃

The travel outfit which one lucky fan bought at the charity auction is another of my favourites. It is princely and regal enough but not over the top and matched the colour of his "blind" eye later on. Dang, Xixi sure looks good with light coloured eyes. 😍😍

And the iconic hostage prince kneeling on ice outfit. Who would have the heart to make the poor baby kneel in such brutal weather outdoors? Sighs 😢😢

All of MY's outfits in the bamboo forest are so pretty. It gives a nice relaxed feel to LYX. So nice to see SJ taking care of him and teasing him while taking a walk with him in the garden. 😄😊

I will stop here for now. I think I like almost everything Xixi wore. 🤣😂😍

Do you realise that LYX looks so sweet and angelic in lighter shades of costume? He doesn't look washed out at all. Ahhh....he is just too fine. 😍😍🤡🤡

Yay!! ✋

Sighs...unfortunately no. Nothing is good after TTEOTM. 😣
