Is this somewhat will be like TRTS rag to riches but from fl’s side??

mad reference! i cracked up 🤣🤣

I just started the show and in the first 4 mint of ep 1 i saw a female character called Tracy.

Those who watched Regeneration 💀

why the rating is stalled at 8.5??! it should increaseee

did you just said habijabi jogakhicuri??

Already?

Idk how this might sound, but I really like her when (and how) she talks. It's like she’s the exact type of woman I would love to hear some gossip from.

Yes exactly, especially from the basketball court scene! It’s like he tries so hard to be seen as someone idealistic, but deep down, he’s just incredibly insecure.

He actually reminds me a lot of Qu Yi Peng from In Between. It's a shame that drama focused heavily on the toxic side of romance, whereas this show clearly doesn't, so I genuinely don’t understand why they are forcing this classic "phoenix man" trope here. (idk if its get better as im only on 7 ep)

i like sanning, she's such a good person to have around.

Honestly, YGY is so unlikable (I’m on episode 7 rn). Also I genuinely don’t understand why almost every female character in this show is drawn to him. Is he supposed to be some sort of irresistible Casanova or what?

Yesss and honestly, that’s C-dramas for you. They just had to try and make him look like a better man, or at least give him some sympathetic justification for his actions.
Honestly, if they hadn’t tried to redeem him, I would have enjoyed it so much more. He was such a beautifully unhinged character in the first half

the last time i watched JBR was in regeneration. what a show that was ahhh. looking forward to his new shows

Hands down I’ve never seen a drama with this many annoying side characters.

agree with you. in some episode prior to this, sanning has told FTY that they've became more of a collegue than lover and sadly rn, im getting that exact vibe.

Everything ZL is saying to TY in this episode is just such a classic male answer. 😂

whose jhonny's romance interest here karlina or jpy?(i hope jpyyyy)

I usually don't watch xianxia because I find them pretty boring compared to OG donghuas.

Also I haven't watched Shixiong yet but for some reason, I keep checking out this page for PS and feel really drawn to starting it.

But seriously, what’s up with only releasing 3 episodes for day one?

i was thinking why ty acted cold in front of all but when they went back to the house she was showing more of a vulnerable sides of her in front of him. your last para on ty's acting cold make more sense now.

i remember when i dont know was the cp he had a blade guy and 2 more men with him, why we haven't seem them yet in the capital arc?

We usually start historical shows where the male lead is already introduced as a ruthless general or a cold court official. Typically we don’t get to see the hidden reasons behind their ruthlessness until much later in the series. Then a revenge-driven or carefree female lead or a reborn fl enters the picture, and the male lead finally starts to "become human." That seems to be the go-to trope for most historical dramas nowadays.

What makes this one so refreshing is that we are finally getting a show where we can witness the lead’s entire development journey from the ground up. We actually see the exact circumstances that shaped him into who he is. We are already 20 episodes in, and the pacing is still going incredibly strong. If the show maintains this quality until the very end, it easily getting a 10 from me!
