I'm someone who has watched BLs from Love sick the series, Addicted, A round trip to love, Grey rainbow, Seven Days, Guardian and many more from various languages and genres. I also frequently update myself with all the new BLs coming up and only watch the ones that are truly appealing to me.
In all the hundreds of BLs I've watched, there are very few to no Rom-com BLs and this one really captured me. Be it the balance of dark themes and amusing comedies, deep thoughts and light sarcasms, satirical stereotypes and pricking angst, I loved it all.
I'll give a standing ovation for the acting and I definitely love the character development, I'm looking forward to how they'll portray each going on.
I know many do not prefer this kind of drama and are unsatisfied with this. But for me, it's something that I loved to watch.
Curse my fingers which click on immortality icon as soon as I open my browser. I just realized, muscle memory can be dangerously heartbreaking sometimes °_°
I'm hereby bestowing the MDL page of Immortality the honor of having achieved 3000 comments drenched with blood, sweat and tears of innumerable abandoned hopeless mortals. A loud round of applause please
Found this poignant summary of Taxian Jun that I never knew I needed :')BOOK SPOILERS ALERT!https://engong-gege.tumblr.com/post/648176932441276416/your-love-carved-onto-stone
"Mo Ran was what he could have become, a future he sacrificed to save Chu Wanning"
Can I just hug Taxian Jun? His character was one of the most pitiful one among all,Having unknowingly buried all his love and kindness to save the man he loved just to end up hurting him in the worst way. Going insane with emotions he couldn’t understand and memories he couldn’t remember. To the point he no longer understood what love meant, to the point, being reborn, desire became a demon that haunted him.
That's one of the reasons why, no matter how cruel he was, I couldn't hate him in the end.
To all the people waiting of HYX to air, please be patient. Us being too vexed and anxious is neither going to make the drama air nor helping anyone. Too much hype is potentially going to damage both us and the drama cast and crew because it serves as an excellent ground for people to create fake rumors to boost their fame. With how huge our fandom is and how much HYX is anticipated, these rumors can damage its image given the fact that there are many who haven't read the novel, are on the process of reading it or are waiting to watch the drama (some looking forward, others skeptical having seen and heard that there are violent troupes used in the novel)
Though I understand where all this anxiety comes from as I've been waiting for an year now, please refrain from spreading or believing false rumors, Don't believe any "inside news" or fake assurances. Just trust tencent and other strictly official websites
And neither The Untamed nor Word of Honor is going to set any limit for HYX. All these dramas have only expanded the demand for more bl adaptations and will never in any case be detrimental to the success of other adaptations given story, core essence and acting remains true. So let's stop comparing all the dramas out there, each deserves its own respect.
Amidst the rising pandemic, let's all take care of ourselves and stay safe while patiently waiting for the upcoming dramas
i won’t expect too much from this, i just started the novel and from the very beginning MoRan is a douch, sex-crave…
Not just a new leaf, but since I don't want to spoil it for you, all I'll say is every action and every word spoken in this novel has a meaning you'll come to understamd later on. As for the bromance part, we can just wait and see.
After being desperately hopeful for the drama to get released on 8th and loading a lot of anxiety into myself, reading all the coments below, I finally realised something. I know it's real hard to wait, but the cast and crew are having it hard too. None of the dates were officially confirmed, so we can't blame them for flames they never started.
For now, I choose to make peace with myself and chill around until the drama drops. I'm closing my ears to all rumors, nothing will move me anymore other than the official trailer or episode 1.
I can't, please just end my suffering already. I can't go through this yearning all over again another day. Please have mercy on me, I'm begging you *-*
I'm not the one who's hopefully opening up MDL, youtube and every other SNSs every 30 minutes to see if the trailer is out. No, that's absolutely not me ¡¤¡
All my hairs have grayed My skin wrinkled Tears dried up Expectations extinguished Anxiety skyrocketing Life hanging on a thread of humor Yet I can't hope to see, The way to Immortality Guess my salvation Is fucked up.
While we wait. Without giving any spoilers. Which are some side character(s) are you most looking forward to seeing…
I look forward to Luo FengHua and Nangong Xu, their story was heart wrenching, all they wanted was to eat oranges in shares of three bickering on rooftops. Ofcourse Jiang Xi and Xue Zhengyong. And the Mei Hanxue pair, I can't wait to see their gorgeous appearance
I usually prefer to see a wide variety of stories, be it fluffy, angst filled, twisted or violent. I do enjoy this show, I find the main couple funny and interesting; the step brothers, honestly I like the way theyre dealing with it. They've early on revealed YongJie's true nature to XingSi, so I expect a lot of development and conditioning before they actually end up together.
There's very little to no spoiler to what I've written, but I checked the spoiler box just in case.
And that's how I got tricked into thinking that this novel would be all fluffy and nonsensical. When I started this novel, it was out of pure boredom, I had zero expectations, much less any idea that this novel would be later etched into my memory after spending hours reading it and experiencing repeated heartbreaks, deep heartaches, and sheding tears of sadness and happiness.
We are all hyper aware of the enormous fanbase Immortality has. Weighed down by The Untamed and Word of Honor, there's immense pressure on Immortality owimg to it's twisted and intricate plot, beautiful story, perfect cast, huge budget, and what not. Basically it's got everything it needs to give out a legendary drama. Neither do I want it to surpass The Untamed, nor do I want it to be any bolder than Word of Honor. All I need is a drama that can do justice to the emotions we readers felt while we shed tears of anguish and happiness living through the book. I need a MoRan who is innocently in love, I need a Mo Weiyu who is grief stricken, hateful and pitifully confused, I need a Taxian Jun who has ruthless blood lust, and is empty, depraved and lonely, I need a Mo Gongzi who is filled with warmth, burning yet restrained love, remorse and endless guilt and grief. I need a Chu Wanning who is cold and strict, who is sturdy yet alone, who has endless warmth inside a unbreakable tough shell, whose love is selfless and uncorrupted, I need a Sia Sini who calls MoRan his Shixiong, who sits beneath the tree holding a pot of chicken broth feeling wronged and betrayed, I need a Chu Fei who holds onto every piece of warmth left in Taxian Jun, who had nothing yet held the only emperor of cultivation world back, who was tortured yet never gave up.
All I need is they do justice to this masterpiece, as long as they can stay true to the emotions and circumstances portrayed in the novel, this show will truly stand tall and proud.

I don't have energy to say any more

Hope the crew and cast do not have it too hard either, but as we all know it's hard for us and them. What has 2ha done to us?
My skin wrinkled
Tears dried up
Expectations extinguished
Anxiety skyrocketing
Life hanging on a thread of humor
Yet I can't hope to see,
The way to Immortality
Guess my salvation
Is fucked up.
Ofcourse Jiang Xi and Xue Zhengyong. And the Mei Hanxue pair, I can't wait to see their gorgeous appearance
In any case, I like this so far
I might even start believing that I'm hallucinating about the whole drama adaptation ~_~
