Draco

I don't remember him not liking her, just him like to tease her for her childish behaviors. But it does improve once he took her in as a teammate, and his behaviors change after they start dating ^^

The thing about ml i assume it does happens. This drama get lots of criticism for not respecting e-sport players and most of the complain has to do with the romance between ml and fl, the complain has to do with e-sport players are too busy for romance that coming from those fans who been cyberbullying the whole production and the actor/actress involved in this drama. Also ml has lots of fans, if he has been too nice to any of them, he would have gave them the wrong impression, so he was very frank about his love for e-sport compare to dating. He was push into a blind date he didn't want, so he didn't give her false hope by making it clear he wasn't interested. Isn't it obvious his interest in fl is because she is the only girl player who could beat him, and because she is cute in his own word. For fl, she was told by her friend that her ex was going to commit suicide if she didn't comfort him, comparing having a scandal about your ex, it was better to make it clear to him it was over because after their meeting he stopped calling her because he realizes she has no feeling whatsoever for him.

Lots of people who watch only for xukai might not like he not getting majority screentimes since this dramas has so many characters with multiple couples, being the focus is on the royal family and palace politic later on. It's still a fun show because of xukai's character and his family being the most enjoyable ^^

Finished the drama. I'm glad tong yao and lu si cheng parents didn't give them a hard time after knowing they're dating. In fact their parents were so easy going about it i was taken aback especially lu si cheng mother, is she secretly happy her son is not gay lol after finding out he likes a girl ^^ Tong yao's mother seems to be more knowledgeable in e-sport than her father, i wonder if she also play games like her daughter. Tong yao is so lucky, having both her parent and best friend supports while she was competing. Jin yang is so funny, she was cheering for tong yao, while silently cheering for her boyfriend while sitting on zgdx sides, and gotten stares when she cheer for ai jia. The whole team zgdx is such a mood, i really like how close they gotten. God ming and xiao ruis are such good supports, they really care for the team even though they don't play. Team zgdx is lucky to have them. Lu yue became much more likable, him taking pictures of his brother and tong yao has become a thing lol ^^ Lao mao and lao k have a really good relationship, they kind of the opposite when it comes to understand the situation one is kind of dense, the other is a know it all, k constant teasing of lao mao for him being oblivious just show their closeness. Really like fatty and his reaction to certain situation usually when it involve lu si cheng and tong yao, also really like his devotion to his captain, i find it really cute whenever he is jealous of tong yao ^^ Also liking hierophant and chessman bromance, the few time they're together they seem to like and admire the other skills and wishing the other their best ^^ This is a drama that has not many conflicts, no break up, the couple once get together are really sweet and supportive of each other, the side couple is also the same. The games play are exciting even if you don't know much about the game, i enjoy watching it. The osts are very inspiring ^^ 9.5/10

I don't consider fl mary sue, guess our definition is different. She was kind of childish, and easily influence by the opinions of others, and that's why she keeps reading negatives comments by those fans when the best thing to do is ignored them. She also has low self-esteem, so she would get down on herself, like when she loss in a match against an opponent and it took sometimes for her to get out of it. I didn't find anything wrong with fl talking with her friend about how good looking ml is, they were just gossiping like any old friend. Also it was her friend that brought it up, since she didn't know anything about him beside how good looking he was. Also a lot of things you said is nitpicking, she broke up with her ex, but they grow up together so she still consider him a friend. She still hasn't got together with ml, so comforting her ex is just a way to get him to accept they're over so he would move on. Also about ml being a eunuch, as an e-sport players they're too busy for dating, beside him none of his teammates were dating either, plus his requirement for a girlfriend is if she can beat him, made it plain his first love is e-sport and he has no time for other things until he met fl. I do agree i like how ml became after he dated fl, he was so sweet and caring toward her. He also opened up more and admits he need his teammates, and willing to apologize for his mistake ^^

She did sacrifice her life for the tribulation of chaos. She shouldn't have been made to sacrifice her life in the first place. The ancestral god made her just so she could take on the duty of the last chief god, which was just unfair being she was the youngest and that is why baijue, tianqi and even zhiyang would have done something to save her. Baijue was feeling so much guilt over her death since he was the one to train her to become chief god, he told gujun he can't watch shanggu die a second time and that's why he said that was the only thing he could do for her when he took the tribulation of chaos for her. Maybe that's why the ancestral god felt he owe her and gave her back baijue when she knelt and begged him for 500 years. You might be right and he wants his son to also find someone who he love and willing to die for her, it's not easy to find such love.

What you said made sense, but i also think he just want his son to understand him and not hating him for leaving him without a father. I think the choice of leaving the people you love is a difficult choice, but it has to be done to protect the three realms from being destroy. So what he was doing protect shanggu and yuanqi as well.

No, they won't until much later toward ep 30s. Qingmu is a normal immortal, he's still strong but not as strong as a true god though. He'll gain back his power, but i don't want to spoil too much for you, it fun to guess what's going on as you go along ^^

Lu si cheng calling tong yao my child is over 20 years old so funny ^^ Glad they found the girl responsible for sending the razors to tong yao, and she is being made to pay for her crime ^^

I think ep 28 has to be the most emotional ep for me. It looks like chessman was under lots of pressure while playing against team YQCB, he wants to ends the game early rather than following the team game plan, i was thinking he has a hand injury that why he was playing recklessly, and the whole team was not in sinc with each other costing them the game. Lao mao confronts chessman for keeping a secret and not treating them like teammates. We get to hear a bit about lao mao situation, his worry he will be too old to compete. Chessman breaks down for failing as a captain, even their manager cries. I'm glad tong yao was able to get through to lu si cheng, he might be a captain but he doesn't have to handle everything by himself. It's what lu si cheng needed to hear, they have a healthy relationship because they're communicating ^^ Lu si cheng aplology to the whole team for his mistake caught them by surprised, team zgdx has become closer like a family after this confrontation ^^

For baijue, he made his plan before yuanqi was even born, and yuanqi is his and shanggu's child. He wants to explains to his son about his death since he was about to die soon. He was comparing his death to jing jian because jing jian sacrifice his life in the same way to protect fengran and the three realms. In the last ep he even said the one thing he regrets is not being there for yuanqi when he was growing up, so his love for yuanqi is just as deep as his love for shanggu. I think dying and seeing someone you care about dying are two different things, i think he was just comforting his son , so he wouldn't feel sad over his death since he even said the person who dies doesn't feel pain. It's his own way of saying goodbye to his son. Shanggu already died once before, it was baijue that collect her souI for 60,000 years to give her a new life free from the tribulation of chaos. I don't think he expects to be reborn since his soul also got destroyed along with his body in the tribulation of chaos. Nobody expect him to be reborn as the new god of fire, shanggu begging the ancestral god to bring him back was a desperate move because she couldn't move on from his death.

Me too, there's no excuse for killing your parents or your sibling. In history there are many such kings who took the throne by shady mean, but due to how they treat the people they will get praise or condemnation depend on their action after they took the throne. That's why the reason they gave in this drama and the other is his older brother want to kill him first, so he was left with no other choice but to kill him to protect himself.

I guess this drama will not be broadcast at all.

Your welcome ^^

Like i said, history is written by the winner, in the other drama it pretty much gave him a halo. For this drama, the whole xuanwu gate incident was never mention, but the grand emperor never forgives him about the death of his 2 sons. What impresses me is he didn't killed his father like he did his brothers to get the throne, since the previous emperor killed his father and brother for the throne, and gotten such a bad rep for his cruelty, so he doesn't want to be known as the same as him since he wants to win the heart of the people ^^

Really impress with the whole casts in this drama. They all did the best acting in their given roles. Feel like the casting was given lots of thought and consideration, that's why this drama turns out well, because everyone gives their best from costumes, backgrounds, cgi, scripts, acting...

I don't know much about this emperor, other than watching a really old drama where he was portrayed as an intellectual with good military strategies when he was still a young man. His older brothers were foolish, and jealous of him as well as his father is a coward lol. In that one the previous emperor was a tyrant, and it was through his skill that his father gotten the throne. Toward the end, he became emperor and was known as a great emperor of his time, who willing to listen to criticism, etc. That drama he wasn't the main lead, but it painted him with such a positive lights, it was a given he will inherit the throne over his elder brothers who tried to have him killed due to their jealousy. History is written in favor of the winner so i don't how much truth to it though.

This is a youth drama so it must have attract lots of younger fans, also the casts are good looking. I'm also liking the osts for this drama, i think some of the singers are koreans. The lyric to all these osts are very inspirational, i heard a lot went into making the osts, and i watch a vid into the making of the osts, fiys went all out when they made the osts for this drama as it has some foreigns influence outside of china^^

I'm glad tong yao gotten support from players whom she played against, they all speak up for her, and warn those toxic fans to leave her alone. I can't believe someone could be that toxic to send something like a razor just to hurt someone else they only seen from afar, that is too much i hope the one who is responsible will be hold accountable for their action. Chengxiao is good in crying scenes, and when she smiles it look genuine. I really like the way both lu si cheng and tong yao handle the falls out between lao mao and lao k, one is being strict, the other is using the loving strategy like a married couple disciplining their children lol ^^ I'm loving how lu si cheng is being protective toward tong yao, and comforting her and assure her there will no break up between them, super adorable, and those kiss scenes ^^

Court lady is a good drama too, you should give it a try, you might end up liking it. His character started out as a playboy and become mature after falling for fl ^^
