WWY wasn't blind at that time. That scene happened earlier when they were younger, so it was before she lost sight.

I actually had a little confusion. Yaksha as a god was already worshipped before Zhan Zhao, right? He just used it as an alias for all the vigilante work.

Or was it an original name and people started worshipping it after him?

Finally finished watching and I enjoyed this drama way more than I initially expected. The ending could have been explained a little better but my expectations for cdrama endings are usually not very high and the post credit scene kind of made it up to me 😭. I'll miss the trio, especially Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, I loved all their interactions so much.

Overall, it's somewhere between 9 and 9.5 for me but since I rate dramas on the upper bound, a 9.5/10 it is. I had the review written for a few days now but was holding on to it till I actually finished watching so I finally got to post it now.

In my opinion, the reason short dramas are rising is because they need less time and even lesser attention span to watch. While many people still appreciate well-written and fleshed out long dramas, most people simply do not have the patience to sit through them and would rather watch fast-paced and dramatic stories.

It's mostly the bold and dramatic storytelling, the fast pacing, scene-jumps and narration. Not to mention, the rebirth and revenge plot is a very common short drama trope so it's understandable that AtC is giving short drama vibes to many people.

Personally, I don't mind and am loving it so far, but the storytelling is understandably not for everyone.

I don't really think the poster gives any romantic tension. She's grabbing his collar/coat not tie, they're looking at the camera not each other and it says "family(?)-like teamwork" in the poster.

But I agree it's possible to misunderstand if that's the first impression but if they know enough about the drama to know about the body swap, it should be a no-brainer that it's not a romance.

I mean she doesn't really need to marry for the romance to work. Also she vowed to never marry or have children while she still held the title so if she wanted to marry, she could just not be the grand princess.

Ikr, loving their dynamic so far tooo

You can read the drama recap articles from the discussion section.

Mu Long is the great-granddaughter of Su Jian (same face) the girl who Han Ba used to love. He was trying to help Mu Long complete her story.

I get it, I really wish they showed more of him. I'm just saying they probably only wanted to outline the main theme of the drama in the first trailer or maybe keep Yan An's character mysterious or something.

OR maybe they wanted his fans to repeat the trailer multiple times to look for Yan An crumbs 😭 (I know I did).

This drama kind of reminded me of The Double and if you see there, the first teaser mostly only featured the FL too, but the final trailer had more of the ML so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Just watched the first two eps, this drama is off to a great start!

This is a female centric drama, and the story is told from the FL's pov so the first trailer mostly focused on TXW's characters. The next trailer (if there's one) will probably feature the romance and/or ML's pov.

I don't really remember the costumes and exact scene, but I think isn't as much a coincidence as it was a foreshadowing of the ending for us viewers. Like it's to show that LWY imagined a normal life, they got a normal life at the end but them having the same costumes is not important or relevant to the story.

Not a dream. Whether they were in an alternate timeline or in the same one is up for interpretation, but they were real.

I love Zhan Zhao so much for giving Bai Yutang that kite 😭 That man is so precious, like what do you mean on top of everything he was going through, he still thought to do these little things like giving BYT that eagle kite and bringing back sweets for Ming Zhu'er 😭😭

Guo Jingming, he is one of the directors of Hidden Shadow as well as the director and screenwriter of VoS.

I think the recommendations are due to GJM being the director for most of them and not particularly because the stories are similar.

In the novel, they both reincarnated in the real world.

I think blank backgrounds are the standard(?)
