Yes, the Mandarin is more rich and has more essence compared to English translation. It is so dry and I don’t feel much of emotion and love. I don’t watch Wuxia with English translation. The word “let down” they translated doesn’t really convey the whole deep meaning that ZSC wants to say.

There is a livestream link that Amanda9 posted below, you just scroll down this thread.

Old?to each his own, I think he is super hot and his look is perfect for this role.

Thank you!

Here is some translation from BaiLu and Allen livestream for anyone who is curious.
Allen connection is not really good.

BL: when filming the jumping off scene, i already starts crying, so I told the director to lemme control my emotion first for me to be ready.

BL: the happiest moment was when ShiYi knows her betrothal got canceled, the saddest moment was when she received ZSC last letter.

MC: why did ZSC make the oath
Allen: ZSC is the type of person caring for the wealth of his people and country. He lives for the good of other people. He knows what he wants and what to do, he doesn’t want his country and people to suffer.
MC : Allen fighting, riding horses so well because you have played in Wuxia a lot?
Allen: fighting scene? I just act like normal, at least I have aura of the main character, so no one can beat me 😂🤣.
Allen: I just wish there would be more fighting scenes or scenes for me to express my feeling to ShiYi because the scenes ShiYi is waiting for me, I still feel there something missing.

Allen: the final fighting scene is the heaviest. Especially when Xiao Ru died. I really want to explode myself, but the director to me to control my anger because there are more to do.

BL: when filming Only and Only, it is really sad, the filming site is very quiet.
BL: One and Only is very easy to trigger emotions, since everyone in the story is so special, the love line is transparent,

MC: the characters and your real personalities are different, how can you let yourself express

Allen: sometimes It’s really funny to see Bailu is hiding her true self to act ShiYi 😂.

MC: how to convince people that in Forever and Ever, ZSC is just a normal person with a normal look?
Allen: when I get to filming site, the production team show me tons of suits, and picture of hairstyle that I need to do…

MC: Can Bailu let people know how love develops in Forver and Ever
BL: the feeling and love develops fast because there is no restriction and separation due to family status.
BL: I’m not sure if people feel Forever and Ever is sweet but Allen doesn’t think so.
Allen: yea, BL really understands me, if in One and Only, they need ShiYi to prepare for her crying scene, then the expectation is the same for me in Forever and Ever. It takes me one month and still when filming One and Only, I’m still not recovered.

BL: in Forever and Ever, there is one sad scene, but I think it fulfill wish and longing that haven’t been able to complete.


I know what scene they mention, and I know exactly how Allen feels andwhat Bailu means but I won’t spoil it, let wait for Forever and Ever and we will discuss.

While I agree the first part, I respectfully disagree that she didn’t know he loves her. She knows he loves her. She agrees to marry because of her mother words ( if you don’t, his image with be tarnished due too gossip, and also her duty with the Cui family, etc)

Exactly.

So as I watched the video interviewing Bailu and Allen Ren, here is what they said: there are two reasons they can’t be together: she is a crown princess AND his oath of not marrying/ or having kids. They even make a joke if there is only one reason for example she is a crown princess, then he migh even consider commited treason to take her away, but then both of them said, no no, ZSC can never do that, lolzzz😂.
Also, the interviewer asked her when did ShiYi fall in love with ZSC: ShiYi said it was her first time seeing him far away . ZSC jokingly said: you are lying, lolz how can you fall in love with me when I stand so far away.
ZSC falls in love with her when he drank alcohol with her on her birthday.

What is the moment that makes them happy the most

ShiYi; it was when her betrothal got canceled, and the time she spent with him
ZSC: look at ShiYi, the way you answer makes me feel bad, ShiYi look at him, just be honest , they both laughing…
ZSC answers: the happiest moment for him when he was in battlefield, fighting for his country and his people, but then at that time, he didn’t know there will be ShiYi comes to his life,…
There are more but that’s it for now to lighten our heart.

The more accurate translation should be “ "Chen, in this life, never forsook the world and has only forsaken Eleven." instead of using “I”, he uses his name to communicate to her, it has a deeper meaning, there is no longer master/ disciple , it’s only between Chen and Shiyi. My interpretation: he loves her, but couldn’t return her love.

It’s in the novel!

You are brave!! I’m broke down after watching ZSC got tortured. I can’t bring myself to rewatch again soon. His scene and her scene crying knowing him died keep popping in my head. This really destroys my mind and my heart physically and mentally. Lolz, my family said are you watching drama for recreation or to destroy your mood lolzz.

Yea, I know. I am eager to see if Forever and Ever will be able to articulate all the essence from the novel.

I don’t think he is kind. He is obsessive, and vindictive. He really wants to get rid of ZSC when ZSC enters the palace saving the King and the Empress Dowager. He doesn’t loves her, he is obsessed with her. Loving her knowing he is about to die in three years and still wants to get her? . A kind person doesn’t grand “debone torturing” to the commander who sacrificed his life and love for his country. His death to be honest is so easy for him. I want him to get killed or tortured like what he did to ZSC.

Already did mam. ^.^

Hahaha, I guess so.

No, it’s very well received in China. It’s hot trending in topic discussion. People really love it.

And here, we even have people give bad reviews and rating because it has sad ending. Lolz and smh.

Indeed. This is the best historical drama so far I have watched in 2021. The cinematography, acting, costumes, and music are all in harmony to create this masterpiece.

He is ruthless, selfish and plain evil. He is a total opposite of our heroic ZSC.

I think they only counted the one on streamer service. They don’t count drama that aired TV channel.
