La Gata

All I have to say about A Xiu, I don't understand what is it that those two women are fighting about. The guy is boring, self-centred, disloyal, utterly uninteresting, artistically mediocre at best, short, ugly and has zero personality and a wart on his face. WTAF??!!

Is that the temple twit who wanted to maim MQY? I can't stand him. I need someone, anyone, to punch him on his stupid nose.

😂😂😂

Yuzhi is not an honest, straightforward guy. He's crafty, for most of the drama he's been using fake excuses to try to separate Zhao from Qing Yan, when his real reason is that he wants her for himself. He also knows Zhao loves Qing Yan, but he doesn't care about making her miserable through separation. I don't like him at all and I don't feel sorry for him. I predict he'll become a bad guy in future episodes.

He breaks the engagement with Ling Bo on ep 20, just before he tries to confess to Zhao.

Thanks again, Soocrafty, much appreciated. That list goes to show how ridiculously and unnecessarily complicated the storyline is. Having 9 different whole groups of people to identify and follow is crazy. If that weren't enough, the plot started and finished secondary arcs in the early episodes, which are the ones that should be tracing where the story is going. This is a 0/10 for the script from me.

Thanks, Gekijo. I did gather that info from the 10 eps I've watched so far, but who is who and what they are up to..., this has got to be the worst laid out storyline I have come across in a cdrama in the last 5 years, and I chain-watch them.

Thank you so much for your effort to explain it, Soocrafty. Alas, I'm also having difficulty understanding some of your sentences. I think I'm just going to drop this series, I can't face 27 more episodes of the same mess.

I've just finished ep 10 and I'm about to drop this series because I cannot make head or tails of the storyline. I am a well seasoned cdrama watcher and this has never happened to me before. All I can tell is there are a few human sects and a demons sect; there are also grievances between the sects about who killed whom and why someone inherited the leadership instead of someone else. Is there any better summary/synopsis of what the hell this plot is about? Thanks in advance.

For those wondering why Dan was laughing so much when Wan Yin told him her real name (Cui Hua), here is the result of an AI search.

"Cui hua" (翠花 - cuì huā) literally translates to "emerald/jade flower" or "bluish-green flower". Culturally, it is a stereotypical, old-fashioned, and rustic name often associated with rural Chinese girls, sometimes used in jokes or as a colloquial term for a country waitress.

Common Uses and Meanings:

Cultural Stereotype: Historically used for girls in rural areas, implying a simple, uneducated, or rustic persona. It is often referenced in popular comedy phrases like "翠花，上酸菜" (Cuihua, serve the sauerkraut).
Literal Translation: Represents a, 翠 (cuì - jadeite/bluish-green) and 花 (huā - flower).

Thank you!

How ridiculous! Why should a woman think from a man's perspective? Women don't owe you. As for the characters, the ML is still portrayed as honest and responsible, and now he's also fallen for the FL as she's also fallen for him because this is a romance series, hello??. The 2ML had been in love with her forever, so he's still trying to get her. Stop projecting your resentment on fictional characters on a fictional tv show, it's cringe.

😂

I think you mean 'How Dare You?'.

Yes, the ML character is an array of virtues while the FL is obnoxious. As I said, misogyny by the book. The FL actress has also been given awful makeup that makes her look like a wax figure, while the ML actor looks young and fresh. Nasty producers.

That's because Youku is posting the steamy clips on social networks in order to attract viewers. I'm on ep 16 and he hasn't raped her, if this is what you are asking. As for why he loses control, you need to start watching the series to learn that.

Of course, oh omniscient being, you're the only one whose perception of her actions and motivations are correct and of course the only multitalented being who understands and interprets the subtitles correctly. Grow up!

On ep 4 and about to drop this series. I can't stand the incredibly misogynistic portrayal of the FL as a rude, arrogant, entitled, self-centred, abusive woman who behaves unpleasantly and even violently toward the ML who only shows her kindness in return, all of it with the excuse that she has an abusive mother. Even when she starts liking him she still makes a point of being discourteous to him for no reason whatsoever. Woman-hating depiction of a female character by the book.

I see this drama as a very effective cocktail of irony, magic realism and steaminess. I love the Tarantino-like dead pan humour. On ep 16 and waiting for the rest, if it carries on like this I predict it will become a cult classic. Does anybody have the release calendar? Is it 2 eps per day? Thanks.
