Okay, finally, nearly 34 hours late😭

Not for me! Still.

Ok 😊👍

Thank you! I did try that and watched about halfway, then the site did a thing and kicked back to the beginning. (Why???) That did help, though, to see a little of it. I have a tbr pile; maybe I’ll actually go read a book, lol. I used to do that constantly until I became addicted to Asian dramas.🥹

Not a word!

I am so mad!

Six hours later, Viki is still not showing me episode 13. Thanks for reading; I had to tell somebody. I am fit to be tied! This is one reason people quit streaming platforms.😤

Same

Apparently I am going to spend all of Saturday checking Viki every five minutes 😩

Not for me it’s not (Tennessee, USA)

I find him exactly right for the very rare and unusual type of human he is portraying. I think he’s supposed to be challenging and mysterious and inscrutable. And there is nothing he can do to annoy me, haha. Never. Enchanting and inexplicable yes, annoying never. But that’s just me!

I would say the fact that the ML can change into a superhero killing machine due to a magical stone placed in his body is the fantasy part…I don’t think anything else is impossible in the real world. Well, enhanced martial arts too, maybe. Pushing people around by waving your hands is often seen in these Chinese historicals; it sure would come in handy!

Okay, okay, them too, haha. I adore all four.

There’s no time for other dramas, only Cheng Lei’s, please 😍

I can’t wait to see how the drama treats this reconciliation. As I recall, the book stretched it out quite a while. Hua paid his dues. ☺️

I loved it, too, because they looked so good. I actually want Hua’s outfit for myself, but I’d have to lose 20 pounds to look halfway decent, so never mind, ha

Well said!🤩

I understand how you feel, but I love how he played this game because it came from a place of childhood trauma and deprivation and so was part of his psychological problems that made him different from almost every other character in any Chinese drama I have ever seen, and that is a lot. And he will have a redemption arc I can’t wait to see; I absolutely love this character and think Huang Xing is portraying him masterfully. He’s my favorite!

Haha, for sure😁

Which brings to question, do they love each other and don’t realize it? Lol, never mind, I don’t want anything getting more complicated and I adore the pairings as is; it’s just years of these dramas have taught me the enemies to lovers trope is very often used and can also be very fun. 🤭
