It's also by the 'Knockout' dir. He worked with WD again recently on 'Xiao Yao'. 'BR' is like a dark fairytale. I'd say give it 5 eps to see if you like it.

However, if you want to see WD & short on time, 'Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity' film is another good one. Bonus is he's topless 25% of the time... not to take away from his good acting😏.

IK. If they'd kept the translated title:'One Thousand Blossoms Bloom in One Life' or the one used by Cnetz 'One Thousand Blossoms Bloom', it would've worked better. I mean there's still🌸🌸in title😁.

OMG, don't be hesitating WD was on fire there. He plays a very complicated, grey, yandere to perfection. He's both chilling & demonic/ gentle & vulnerable. His acting was amazing as Gongzi, really intense.

Loved 'BR' & Gongzi😻. I think we might need to get the tissues out, as it'll be like Gongzi, but in 3 different torturous versions.

Yeah, they defo doing it on purpose. We have the carriage, warrior girl in couple clothes, bamboo hair pins, green clothes, umbrella. & now they're calling him 'Gongzi'🤭.

* So glad you mentioned the array scene. I was thinking how they'll film it as it was hard to imagine done. Their scene actually made the vague idea that I got from the book come into life👌🏻.

From what I remember, he didn't cause their deaths. & the reason why ML doesn't remember FL will fit in at the end when the story makes a full circle back.

I'm loving it, it's not draggy. The CGI & fight scenes are good. BB is hot, & SZN dominates her scenes. She's perfect as MXL. It's best to read the comment left below by a user who explains the background as they do launch right in.

It's exceeded my expectations so far. They've adapted it close to the book, even better in some parts. It gives 'Starry Love' vibes at times. ZBB is great; SZN is killing it as MXL, & loving WD. For those who know 'Bloody Romance,' I swear they did his entrance in the green carriage on purpose lol

I'm only on ep2 rn. But yessss agree, it looks so good. It's exceeded my expectations so far. The trailer's sound/visual quality got me worried b4. Defo 'SL' vibes✨. Loving this so far, hope it continues...

It's from the person who did 'TenMOPB's', 'AshesOL', & 'StarryL'. I think it will go similarly to the book🤞🏻, as other chars' fates are linked to their ending.

He's like a grey/tragic villain. As NXY he'll start as a gentle, elegant man, then... 😏. There will be other, bigger villains in the story too.

Yes, if they keep it like the book🌸.

Yeah, even the song & MV have a similar look & vibe to 'TSL.' Though the stories are quite different, I hope they adapted this one ok...

Yes, it's funny as some of SZN's costumes with feathers, boots, and short skirts look like the bird girl's. The costume designer copied her own designs, but this time the budget's better, so the costumes here look even better than 'TSL's across the board. Just hope the story side lives up to the rest.

Yes Yetan, but worse😅. The writer wasn't from 'Starry Love,' but better still, it was the producer & production team who were. Some of the sets, props, costumes, & even the demon realm look so similar.

The producer also did TenMOPB's, AshesOL, SkateITL, and TSL. While Dir's from 'Back From the Brink.' The book's complicated. Hope they can get it straight...

It's kinda that too. I heard he & GJM had some falling out; that was around the 'YYM' time. He works outside the company with other directors most of the time. He had 4yrs of no releases after 'BR'. 'YinYM' only had 10 days b4 it was pulled due to GJM's canx at the time🙄.

* Don't know if you've seen them, I've left some clips from the drama in the comments. ZYQ is in the 1st clip having an argument with SZN😁. Also, others have left previews of the 4 eps, it looks good so far, very close to the book.

** Clip of FL & 2ML. This might be a spoiler to some, so it's in the box.

It looks like they've added another cycle—there are 3 on the 'Fate Map'. The inner one is her original form, Chaos Pearl.

PS: there were clips from the drama today & she's sassy😁. I'll add it to the comments if I get time.

True. Though, as long as a part's written well, it won't matter.

WD has bad, bad luck. He had a gap of 4 years due to other people's canx. He's an ML in 'Blemish Flaw,' which is coming soon. He's a yandere artist / murder suspect 😏. It's a good month for YQ with this & 'FlourishedP' due to come out too✨✨.
