DistantDream

I watch YYM, Deng Lun, sad to see his career boom. He was great in Ashe Of Love. I watched AoL after Eternal Love, and both were great xianxia.

It broke 50 billion watch in 2018 as the most watch series of all time. It was a genre defining moment. I believe it really drove the xianxia crazed.

It almost 10 year since I watch it, so dont know if it stood the test of time. But it was beautiful and the story is a solid one.

At this point Dragon deity is more of a title then a person.

O yeah Xianxia nowadays... are just getting worst and worst. After Eternal Love (2017) with Yang Mi. they have churn out some decent xianxia but ALOT of them are mediocre and you really have to question yourself what the point.

There is no novel, it is an original work

Just enjoy the roller coaster ride!!!

I dont wanna watch the trailer, it ruined the experiences for me

He can call her mommy or mother and both would be appropriate

Hey that good I grew up watching classic Wuxia, and stop watching Cdrama all together cause of life and what not. GJM stand out from the sea of Cdrama. his work is really unique ! the best way to describe it he take a darker/noir approach to story telling

But just now I read about it, and seem like an interesting twist on the tale.

Funny enough, I havent. I watch the older version of Painted Skins adaption and series. I wasnt watching much CDrama in the early 2020s

Painted Skin is really a metaphor of people hiding their true selves. In the original story (The Painted Skin), it’s about a man who lusts after a demon wearing a ‘painted skin’ to appear beautiful. Over time, that idea has evolved and taken on broader meanings.

Like almost every character is "wearing a mask" or a "painted skin"

Guo Jingming clearly a fan of the cast ! he brought them back from FoF... that mean we got to wait a few more year for him to bring them all back again !

What we seen so far, it should be even higher. It been a treat so far, I honestly really enjoy the pace.

I think that memories of JL/LS about the blind fox is real and it really him and that was wang duo saving him.

Whatever reason WD gave JL/LS his identity.

maybe them hiding the face when we got the flash back is to hide that fact. But maybe it was JL/LS that came up with the idea to swap power, cause he cannot contain dragon deity power cause he isnt a dragon

little nine is such a sus name though cause Chi Wen is the 9 son.

And snake does cultivated into dragon

He is not denying it, he clearly knows more than he is letting on....Like it obvious they like each other.

But he clearly knows something about their eventual fate. Also, everyone is in the past memories of someone they know. Li Jie is in his past self, WSG is in his past with his family.

So, who past is this for LS and LWY? Is it his or her?

Something to consider, LWY is the only person who can use magic, while WWY can't.

This either implies WWY can't because she is in someone else's body and not her own. So does this mean LWY is in her past self's body?

I havent watch Moonlight mystique, but for Love In Pavillion they when to the future. But it all does the same thing, show us and overarching story/foreshadowing. Like for LiP they all learn they were going to die.

So we're just having a TTEOTM moment for episodes 10-11.

It’s weird to call him wrong when Frustrated Noona is just making a point about a character.

Do you really think he believes this is literally a rom-com?

I’ve read your other comments too, and it’s strange that you treat opinions in a public comment section as if they can be objectively wrong.

He is getting to know her world and who she really is. He is feeling a little insecure because of the following
1. Yan Ke
2. He Simu is being cold and heartless and pushing him away.

In fact, the way his actions are portrayed makes him come across as immature as a character, at least in my view. Some people might like their ML this way, but others might find it cheesy or even cringy.

I understand that people enjoy a cutesy, multifaceted ML, but that often comes at a cost when it’s overused for comedic relief.

Also, given the ancient setting, how young he is isn’t the same as how young someone would be in real life. And I’m just going to guess that you probably don’t know many young people who have been in active war zones and killed multiple combatants. That kind of experience literally changes your psyche.

Because he is a mortal in the void, yes, that makes sense. But again, it’s about how it’s portrayed. They could have approached it differently to show how powerless mortals feel in a world of supernatural beings.

But again, it’s a fantasy drama, so realism isn’t the most important thing. So pointing out that he’s young or whatever is irrelevant. These aren’t objective truths, and I’m saying this because what you’re arguing isn’t an objective truth either.

I like the ML actor, I just think the characterization is too jarring. Like I said, it feels cheesy and borderline cringey at times. It only started to bother me in episodes 15 and 16.

I know some people like that in their ML, so I get why Frustrated Noona calls it a rom-com.

I just happen to dislike rom-coms.
