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.

I was a bit disappointed with him in that scene. I prefer my MLs with a bit more "bite". He feels like a wet blanket 😩

Almost all the background scenery looked so incredibly fake that it was a shock to the eyes.
It doesn't bother me, though, because the story is good and the acting is good.
Even a perfect CGI couldn't keep my interest if the story was boring or abstruse (there's been a few dramas like that, lately).

Yeah, that was pretty funny. I think he went there exactly for this reason - he needed someone to help him see things clearly...

Yep, and the opening scene of ep 11 confirms my suspicion: if this mountain is reserved for the descendants of the Han and the Di family would the CP who is such a stickler for rules really bring an outsider there???

Frankly, after watching ep. 10 I get the feeling he knows already and he is playing with her. There were two situations where he quite openly provoked her by mentioning the Di family to see her reaction...

For me the biggest turn-off in the first episode was that Anle stayed in "silly character" for the whole episode. Whereas this persona is amusing in small portions, I couldn't have taken another complete episode of this.
The drama gets interesting the moment she starts switching between sillyness and seriousness.
I grew up with 70s-style fantasy dramas, so I can totally ignore bad CGI 😂

I've seen that quite often, when screen-writers "get creative" to add things to otherwise decent novel material, these scenes very often stick out like a sore thumb.
It is normal that some things need to be modified as the story-telling in drama is different from that of a novel, but a lot of these script-writers take too many liberties. If they think their brain-farts are that awesome, why don't they write their own novel?

LCF: In the future, please tell me everything
TQY: I'm pregnant
LCF: Huh???? 😲😲😲😲

The end of episode 11 was so funny!

But most importantly, a decent script to work with and capable acting partners!

Oh dear, I'm watching both and didn't even realise it's the same FL!! 😳 What is wrong with my eyes??? 😵‍💫 😵‍💫 😵‍💫
Either the make-up and styling is out of this world or I was too distracted by the eye-candy next to her...
