I wouldn't mind the supporting roles getting more screen-time if they were interesting. The fake Ziyuan is boring as hell and her delusions of grandeur mixed with self-pity gets on my nerves already after two episodes with her. It is save to say that the only interesting thing about her is her hot bodyguard. They can give him more screen-time any day.

Yeah, there's quite a lot to watch right now. I'm just a bit annoyed that all the xianxia seem to be messed up. So far Butterflied Lover is still the best of the lot.

Same here. I'm taking a little break to see how long this silliness will go on. I've still got Destined to finish, which frankly, feels a lot more grown up with fewer cliches.

Yep, I hope you are right. This being c-drama there obviously has to be a third option (again, same as in Princess Silver) but the initial either-or question may create a rift between the ML and the FL.

Agreed. It happens far too often and we should speak out against it wherever we see it! We may not be able to change anything about it, but at least we can show that we cannot be duped.

Same here, but I think I'm going to pause for a few days because as this is getting intense I don't want to get stuck on a nail-biting cliffhanger.

I think he only has "accepted" the baby because it can be useful to clear her poison, but what are they're supposed to do with the butterflied baby?? I don't see a baby going through 3 years of detox by drinking black peony soup...

This "transferring to poison to the baby" plot is exactly the same as that in Princess Silver - are the writers running out of ideas??

Uploaded pictures, where are the snacks????

She is so dumb that it hurts me watching her.

Interesting! I will have to watch that first episode again...

Just looking dreamy isn't enough to carry a 30-episode drama. After an interesting start this show falls into the usual xianxia cliches of endless misunderstandings, lack of communication (and brains) and antagonists without any proper motivation.
Acting-wise, the SML seems to be leagues ahead of everyone else. He is so good at playing the evil guys!!!!

He had a good turn-around in TLB, though. I like this kind of complex characters and he is quite good at playing them...

What is the connection with this drama?? Or are you just randomly posting stuff about Chinese astrology?

Fingers crossed! He deserves this!

I know that. The vegetarian couple was just an example for the use of "vegetarian" (in the sense of not doing something) by translation engines.

They really ought to put up some barriers and warning signs on those cliffs in China. There seem to be a unbelievable number of people falling off them...

😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is soo funny!! You've cracked the formula and have a great imagination... I see a brilliant future as a script-writer in my crystal ball...

I think "vegetarian" is the machine translation code for not doing something. I remember in the novel behind Unchained Love the enuch-woman couples were called "vegetarian couples". Just my interpretation, though...

I've heard that they increased her part compared to the novel so some things may be different. I just hope this isn't the usual annoying-SFL-who-cannot-die trope that continues until the last agonising episode.
