You mean Li Lun? No he's not as old as the original goddess. The great demon who partnered with the original goddess was Cheng Lei. Li Lun is around the same age as Zhu Yan. They were chosen to protect the Wilderness together.

What???!! They wouldn't have dared do that to a more popular actor for sure! Poor Jiarui must've just taken it like a man and not complained at all. They also submerged him in freezing cold water in the midst of winter!

This made me laugh out loud! Hahaha

Nah, that was the hug of a loving and concerned sister. If you notice Hermione was the same with Harry. But she and Ron were always so awkward together. When you like someone and you're not officially a couple yet, it's harder for you to show your affections to them because it feels awkward. She and Yichen grew up like siblings. She's more familiar with him but her feelings for him are purely platonic.

This! She even killed her own brother because she thought he was an evil demon. Her reaction to Yichen turning into a violent demon was on point.

I was very hesitant to watch MJTY, I am still hesitating a bit, because I'm not into romance-centric dramas and I'm not exactly a fan of the FL. But for Rui2x, I'll try. lol

He does have that Cheng Yi swag to him when in costume, but also Cheng Yi's silliness out of costume. 😄 He should play Cheng Yi's brother in a drama, that would be fun to watch. Looks like I will finally watch My Journey to You. 😂

He won't. Yichen has become a demon himself, he knows what it's like to lose control and hurt people indiscriminately. If Zhu Yan dies later on, it won't be because Yichen killed him. Besides, do we actually know for sure Bingyi killed Ying Long? We still haven't seen that flashback yet, after all. I guess we'll find out.

I think this was written by Guo Jingming himself. He knows what it's like to be adulated by the masses and then torn down and ruined for life because of one mistake. This felt personal.

Can't help but think that what happened to Yichen is a kind of analogy for what Guo Jingming went through himself. Like Yichen, he was a celebrated young author who won awards for his best-selling works. And then he was accused and proven guilty of plagiarism, ruining his reputation for life. He was able to bounce back from it but that incident has haunted him since. So I feel that dialogue between Li Lun and Yichen stems from his own experiences. "When people knock down a divine statue and trample and spit on it, they never get it up and kneel before it to worship it again." I'm not saying this to defend Guo Jingming or even claim he wasn't guilty of those accusations because I don't really know the truth. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. But that's not my point. I'm just saying perhaps the reason why this scene was so very well written, acted, and executed was the fact that it comes from something real and personal to the author. You write what you know, so to speak.

Yes. And you see Yichen stopping in shock and then tearing up in anger as he walks away. Very well executed scene!

Tian Jiarui, where have you been all my life?! 😄 The boy can really act and I realized that I love watching him on screen. He has such a magnetic presence. And the fact that he only debuted as an actor last year is impressive to me. Kidding aside, that scene between Yichen and Li Lun is incredibly powerful. That is definitely the highlight of this episode. It is indeed true that humans are fickle creatures. One minute you're worshipped and idolized, the next minute you're despised and turned into an outcast. I won't delve deeper into that as someone else has already explained that scene better, so I'm just going to talk about how both Yan An and Jiarui perfectly acted that scene. That exchange made Li Lun a more sympathetic villain and Yan An succeeded in making him more relatable despite all the despicable things he had done. So kudos to him! 👏 Jiarui knocked this role out of the park! I thought his dramatic scene with Minghao was already his best performance in this drama but I was mistaken. He did better in this scene with Yan An. He, Yan An, and Minghao have such great chemistry together, they play off one another pretty well.

It is one of the best C-dramas I've seen to date. Maybe those who didn't like it were disappointed that there's no romance and the shifts from comedy to drama and back again can be weird. Also, the acting can be very theatrical at times so maybe they were turned off by it. But the world building is great, the story is rich, and the characters are colorful. I had a great time watching it. Minghao plays the coolest character in that drama hands down!

More like rap rock. It's not as heavy as nu metal.

Me neither. I tried to watch Love and Redemption and Immortal Samsara. Nope. lol I'm waiting for his upcoming dramas, though. I will definitely check out Deep Lurk.

Hahaha! Now Douyin and Weibo are giving us more spoilers. So are you a Cheng Yi fan too?

I went into this blind. No clue about the story or cast members except for Minghao. I wasn't even looking forward to this. I was more excited for Dashing Youth. But I was happily surprised. I ended up liking this more. It's not without flaw but it's highly addictive and I've become attached to these characters.

Like others have said, there isn't anything quite like it in C-dramaland. But it does have some things in common with anime-esque dramas like I Am Nobody and The Blood of Youth or Dashing Youth in terms of stylistic fight scenes and dark comedy elements. Two of those dramas feature Hou Minghao. If you like the male lead in this and haven't seen those dramas yet, I would recommend them. My favorite Minghao character of all time is Wang Ye from I Am Nobody.

Really??? Is it now on his official Spotify account?

Yuning is definitely my favorite Chinese singer. lol
