It's good that he is being casted. However playing the same type of genre might become a niche for TJR. You know how crazy he was in Yun Weishan, it should reach more people

Glad to hear that TJR will be in other genres and direction

Seems like this story is a expanded version of his old short film. I went to his work and found out that the names are the same and start with a fox being saved by a mortal. Also TJR should break out of this GJM curse. All three dramas that I saw are of his direction

I'm not fond of GJM's BE tbh. I came here for TJR firstly, then the direction. Jia Rui and his obsession over killing the ML or to be killed by the ML needs to studied. It's like Cheng Lei's obsession over bath scenes

Did you mean GJM or TJR ?

Dragon Deity of the Shilin Sect and Ji Ling are the same person right ? He acts goofy to maintain his original identity I guess, I'm at episode 2 and they showed two TJRs

Aren't Dragons demons too. But they fall into divine category right ?

Are all the leads Demons ? The FLs are both foxes, what about the MLs

Another GJM story, I'll start watching this with a mindset of BE. Looking forward to TJR

I totally forgot that. All I remember is that the drama starts withe Zhang Linghe being attacked and she coughing blood and dying 🙃

I didn't like that Xia Ziyu was the final villain as well. They could have avoided that whole mini plot but I appreciate that the drama had no loose ends within the 1983 section. They concluded everyone's plot be it major or minor characters

See this makes sense. Costume dramas are fictional in first place and hence use transmigration and time travel effectively. Modern reality to a book or past and coming back to reality again can't use these as plot devices. Thanks for the explanation @ra111ster

Love Game in Eastern Fantasy and How Dare You were both cases of modern into a book. Any drama that starts with modern era transmigration is censored as a dream in the end. Dramas that use time travel or transmigration within the costume era survive I guess

Seems like a ADWAD type of ending, even though that ending where ML comes into reality was also a book. Probably like how the ML from Joseon era came to the future in The Tyrant's Royal Chef. Explicitly saying Zhou Cheng from the past will cause censor issues, for a country that is highly developed people commiting suicide over transmigration media is pitiful

Seems like transmigration and time travel rules only apply to modern dramas. Costume dramas use time travelling effectively. Story of the Kuning Palace and few others have a past and altered future don't they ?

Does the novel have something on this ? Did Zhou Cheng travel into the future or was it Zhou Cheng from the 2026 Xiaolan's timeline

Thanks for the heads up. Now, I can watch the end without worries

You should transfer this to the review section. These thoughts might reach many more people there

Is it a bad ending or what ? The comment section is full about it. I know censorship is strict with transmigration dramas and it all might be a dream at the end of the day. I'm at episode 32 and don't mind spoilers

But Xiaolan also says he doesn't exist in the future. Hope everything goes well for Xiaolan
