Dreamy

I think she is in the stage of denial & her pride won't let her acknowledge that she's falling for him when he doesn't seem like so/ being nonchalant about it.

Idg either why would she be that mad to him, would she prefer him questioning everything & keep pestering on her at what she did to him when she's drunk?
in my case I'd be relieved to be given an easy escape route & pretend nothing has ever happened, why would I choose to make something so big over it when I'm clearly at disadvantage 😂.

I love both main leads and see where they're coming from, I acknowledge how their conflicts are necessary as they both are like polar opposite character, so seeing how they argued & learn from eachother's pov is actually a good thing.

But tbh I don't think what Du Shik said to her is as troublesome as others might hv think, and it's not because I'm biased over Seon Ho.

If I positioned myself at the opposite party where:

A. I kissed the guy I like when I'm drunk & he pretends not knowing and said all the things Du Shik hv said to Hye Jin, I won't be mad, why? The kiss happen when I'm not 100% conscious with my own feelings, do I really like him or is it just a mere attraction on the spot or would I want to go further over it? No one knows, I myself may not even clear or understand my own feelings, wouldn't it be better to forget everything & start a clean slate like Du Shik suggest and not be all awkward over it, if I want to go further, it'll be only when I'm clearly sober & acknowledge what I did.

B. I'm getting along with a new friend of mine, but suddenly he said that I'm not qualified enough to be his friend, we hv a different social positioned & he won't make friends with just anyone.
Let's be honest here, wouldn't any of you will be hurt when hearing such words from a person whom you acknowledge as a friend?

I mean, it doesn't mean I don't understand her, but I think it's pretty clear which words hurts more when you hear it yourself.

Still, I prefer not knowing any of that..
Ik xinxia is about cgi but having more cgi doesn't make it better & I personally prefer lesser cgi as I tends to cringe when there's a lot of it.

Nooo.. I haven't got to that part yet, why would you spoil it for me? 🙈
Idk, am not into cgi, I prefer less cgi with more real fight/ action scenes than action with lots cgi tbh

Am currently watching AOL & I think it's on par with LAR, LAR probably has fewer CGI scenes but some scenes I prefer LAR tbh (cringe at some AOL CGI, rather overdone for me) 😅

I can't wait to see the day when Din Din & all other 2D1N member tease Seon Ho after watching this ep, I mean, lmao, SNU graduated, Math gold medalist, that too completed with his romantic mellow eyes all packed in one ep, they'll roasted him for sure! 🤣😂🤣

Have you seen the trailer yet? I think from all Yuxi drama I've watched, I feel she'll fit her character the best on South Wind as Zhu Jiu is a more mellow & tone down character, opposite with bubbly character she used to act that I find oftenly overboard.

Maybe, you could try/ tested it out for few ep before firmly drop it? I don't really like modern cdrama as they often makes me cringe, but this one actually looks good & legit heartwrenching, I love the novel, so I find it's maybe one of the rare occassion where I'll actually like a modern cdrama 😅
But it's up to you 🤭

It's the first book, the main ML in there is Fu Xi Zhou, Yun shen's half brother.
For this drama you need to read the 2nd book which has Fu Yun Shen as the main ML.

I dropped it at ep 7, it's just too slow & boring while neither character, politics, love story I find engaging, everything just felt subpar to me & yes like you said it isn't realistic either, so nothing hold my interest/ I hv no reason to continue watching.

Idk, I find this one is just boring, too slow & none of the characters I find engaging. The cp drunk scene (where the FL mutters as if she's drunk when actually she's as sober as day as she heard & aware of everything while speaking all rational) I don't even find natural so it makes me cringe so I drop it at ep 7, I can't force myself to stay for another remaining 17 ep.

For a slow burn, they barely had scenes together let alone grow their bond, while the politics I don't find it thrilling either, characters also so so, either side felt subpar to me. I love realistic, poetic & slowburn drama, I don't mind tragedy, but this one just not it, imo.

My reaction:
Melting
Squealing
Giggling
Screaming (when they revealed everything)


This is what I called slow burn done right
Chemistry, growing bonding, main leads interaction, all on point.
unlike my recently drop drama One & Only, that's just plain 😴

Oh my, she did it at the mortal realm?

Ahh I see, idk if there's no eng translation available for the novel, it'd be hard to tell indeed, thank you! So his hair will become white after the final battle on the heaven realm but it won't be their final scene as their final scene will be at the mortal realm after they all got reincarnated? or do I get it wrong?

Haven't got to start the drama but the photos being uploaded in the gallery cracks me, what's with all these sheep vs stonehenge statue? LOL

To those who hv read the novel, may I know how many timelines do we have here?
From the summary it looks like two, the heaven realm with Lord Ying Yuan & mortal realms with Tang Zhou.
But from the trailer, it seems there are more?
The one with heaven realm, Lord Ying Yuan have two different colors of hair.
The other with the stab scene, he hv a different hairstyle so idk if it's Lord Ying Yuan as well or is he his another reincarnated ver?
And the more playful character in the mortal realms is Tang Zhou
So do we get 4 timelines here?, anyone knows? I don't mind spoiler

I'm not referring to their viewership rating, their viewership rating is high, ik they always get top 3 on weibo throughout their run & top 1 at their final week.

I'm referring to mdl rating, but then again I often find a drama which highly rated on mdl to be boring or subpar, only good in aesthetic/ production value but the drama itself doing nothing to me.

This drama might not hv a high production value, but the acting & the plot is great, with countless schemes & counter schemes from numerous characters that keep you on toes.
Here, all the characters hv depth & layered writing with different pov to consider, not plain good or evil, and I appreciate that.

Just came back from watching One and Only but watching OaO ep makes me fell a sleep everytime at how slow & boring it is tho pleasant aesthetic wise (at least until their current 6th ep I watched).

It makes me appreciate Stand by Me more that I decide to drop by here, I still remember how hard it is to wait for SBM newest ep everyday eventhough it was released daily, idg SBM low rating, a very underrated drama indeed.

Idt there's an eng translated ver available, but you can try using google chrome autotranslation to read, the translation is quite good to understand, that's how I finished reading it too.

Oh really? most of weibo comment I've seen have been full of people who can't wait to hear their airing date so I think the drama will be received well.

As for Yu Xi's acting, tbh I'm not fond of her character/ acting on Intense Love (too overboardly bubbly to my liking), but when I see her on Stand by Me, I think she deliver her emotional scenes really well.
Her small body figure might not cut out for martial arts but I think it's pretty common as not everyone was born/ good at it.

Looking from SW trailers, I think ZJ might become Yu Xi's best role to date that will suit her acting the most, as it requires emotional yet subtle acting which she's good at. And tbh, I can't even portray another actress playing ZJ role, ZJ=Yu Xi, she's perfect for this role & you can see that from the trailer.

I also hope she can take more similiar roles like this going forward/ preferrably melo character than romcom's & grow from there.

Ahh I see, I never expect them to be a martial arts wuxia tho, so I'm not dissapointed because of that.
In my case I almost fell a sleep during watching the first 4 ep, mostlikely because the ML is currently has been placed outside the palace & he's in the outter circle so I find whatever things happened in the palace right now is rather unimportant to me, let alone all the old & kids character has zero presence nor interesting backstory to my liking 😂.

I like how the FL being muted & find her character interesting/ refreshing since I'm used to see a chatty, bubbly FL & basically I'm still staying to see what the characters might bring to the table.
I like the adult crown prince as well & I wonder if he'll become the ML's enemy or teammate later on?

I hope things will pick up soon, otherwise I might put this on hold/ drop & may start FEE instead like you've suggested.

Thank you for giving your time replying to me
