Yes it's generally harder to match a novel with a show. I haven't read the novel either but I'm enjoying TTEOTM. The world building itself is on another level.

I am only at the end of the 19th episode and I am already starting to feel a bit devastated. Tantai Jin is turning out to be a benevolent emperor. He's prevented people needlessly dying in the war. He is taking care of the refugees. He is learning because he wants to be better at ruling.

He is is genuinely falling for Li SuSu and is genuinely happy for a change. Meanwhile, she is feeling happy every time she is closer to destroying his evil bone and killing him.

Yes, he turns into the devil God in future but that's not him YET. Why is there no way of destroying the evil bone without betraying and killing him? And I wonder if she feels anything for him at all or it's just an act. If it's an act, it feels a bit sinister. :(

Just voicing my current thoughts.

I was wondering why I am the only person who doesn't understand so many things. At first I thought it's because I'm a 5 episodes. Guess it's probably because the novel readers know how everything fits together and I am still discovering it. But it's nice that they have answers for us.

Yes, thankfully no one is getting angry at my questions. And I have a lot of them.

You have a point about the discussions. I feel like I am missing out on those.

Oh boy. Just when I was getting into the cute moments of Tantai Jin falling in love. :P

I'm still behind rn so trying to avoid spoilers. Is the story sad at the moment or is everyone just worried about how it will end?

Would you advise me to stay at a slow pace or catch up?

Thanks! New to all these words and trying to get a hang of it. :)

Benefits of binge watching: the story flows easily, no restlessness on what will happen.
Negatives of binge watching: Miss out on discussions, everyone else is ahead of you and get lots of spoilers.

Benefits of watching along: Discuss along with others if you have doubts.
Negatives of watching along: Waiting for the next episode is hard.

It's a bad idea for me to watch this slowly (finished ep 18) because they introduce so many terminologies that I have now forgotten the old. XD

What was the light-breaking array again?

If you haven't started this series yet and you're like me, ideally wait till it's over and binge. :)

Thanks! This was helpful. Also since I have now watched till episode 18 and they discussed the dream, tear and love thread, it made sense. Appreciate your effort!

I have one follow-up question. The lives that they were living in the dream state, was it their past lives? Coz if not, how did the God of Time recognise the FL?

Okay. I didn't consider the status was at play. Thanks. :)

Ah ok. She thought he would know why she is avoiding him? That makes sense. Thanks!

The funny thing is those people left the food to rot by turning off the generator. And the students only bother to look for the generator to turn the rides on but not when they need to heat their food. I mean I would have been pissed if I was them.

Haven't seen that one. Will give it a try. :)

If Lee Je Hoon won't be the Taxi Driver then why bother? The current team has it's charm. But they can always add another crew member(s).

Extra scene/song at the end of the final episode credits.

Why did they have to ruin the show like this?

Gut-wrenching news. Very sorry for the loss of his family and friends. 💔

Well, she's a teenager and maybe part of her did want to be with her mother. Even if we don't agree, I understand that she saw her aunt had been going out of her way for her including putting her own desires on hold, tolerating false accusations just to protect her, etc. So when she saw her own mother trying to use her teacher, she thought if both left, it would give her aunt a chance to live her life her way. It's actually sweet if you see it from that angle.
