ShortCircuit

What, one episode per day for the rest of them?! No express package?

...And I'll take no rain for the last episode, drama, do you hear me?!

Dragon blood confirmed though!! And was Lord Ying Long also a dragon (as his name implies?)

Wow, Li Lun isn't joking about taking over Bai Jiu, even their hair and clothing is the same. I hope little Bai Jiu can make a comeback...

Drama, please don't turn Ying Lei into the clown of the team, dammit. He's too much of a ray of sunshine for that...

Wen ZongYu telling Li Lun he's going to have to obey orders, Li Lun in return leaf-flying away like, B*tch, please...

All quiet episodes predict doom is close by...

ETA Took a look at other comments, what the heck, are the haters up in a team commenting, today?! So you don't like it, grow up and find a new life, why don't you? What, are you favourite dramas in a slump so you thought it's the perfect time to gang up on other dramas? Didn't know so many 14yos were on MDL...

Bai Jiu is a Ghost (Pagoda) Spirit hybrid, possessing human, demon, and god bloodlines. (And he obviously is being controlled by Li Lun ATM).

What if ZYC is a also some sort of hybrid? His ancestor, Lord BingYi, definitely wasn't just a normal human (I was thinking dragon blood, but other than the hair ornaments and the talk about dragon horns being used for the sword, the drama hasn't revisited the idea yet). What if there is some demon/spiritual beast blood in ZYC, too... in which case, maybe Li Lun can get a hold anyway.

I don't think he could control someone without parasitising them, and ZY already said every time he does it, he has to use up a bit of himself, and he doesn't have all that much left... By now Li Lun is an expert at dishing out soul pieces of himself to his puppets. He could find a way if needed.

ETA another argument in favour of any dragon bloodline would be affinity to water. Even their special magic involves water. I really hope they go with dragons :D

It would've been so much cooler (but I don't see how they could have gotten out of that situation) if he had parasitised ZYC. Adding to the fact everybody would have lost their damned minds, ZYC would have been a hard target to take down, and a lot more motivated to kill ZY.

I am wondering about that final fight though, Li Lun definitely tried to parasitize ZYC anyway, what with that black smoke around his face, before ZYC bit him. I hope there's no leaf tattoo on him by now.

Myself, I love the slo-mos. For some (totally unperverted reason) I love the slo-mo they were doing while filming Zhuo YiChen running - from behind him. That svelte silhouette, the way that fabric moved around him - yes, gimme more of that. I liked that a whole lot.

And in the fights too - usually they're spinning around so fast you can't even see what they're actually doing. In slo-mo, you can see all the graceful choreography - I've been re-watching the first fight since it first aired, I'm still amazed by that under-slide ZYC did under ZY's reach, and also by that awesome cool effect where ZY's hand gets claws that retract (also in slo-mo). MORE!!

They have to cry prettily because TTEOTM used up all the fake blood stocks so they can't be spitting up blood as per usual.

Also, let's think positively. ZYC had to kill ZY because of reasons, but now he doesn't have a special sword to do it with anymore. Plus he doesn't really want to either. I am starting to cautiously hope for a HE or at least a HFN.

Li Lun, everytime anyone comes close to killing him: *presents hostage* Li Lun Dallas. Multipass.

Then prances away unharmed.

.... I'll see myself out.

I had this impression - I might be wrong - that the second dragon fang / horn (can't remember right now which it was they used, probably the horns) is the blade hidden in Zhu Yan's umbrella. If it is, then he might have to give it to ZYC to reforge the Crystal Blade.

But if it isn't... where could the second fang be?!

Yes he was heroic, yes it was an awesome fight, no, he shouldn't have been so easy to defeat.

But think about it like this...

Li Lun CANNOT defeat Zhu Yan and has to use a thousand tricks to get to him. And yet he goes through Zhuo YiChen like it's nothing, breaks his sword (addmittedly it was already cracked but still...), basically overpowers him immediately. Even with trying not to kill Bai Jiu, ZYC should've put up more of a resistance.

And ZYC is the one supposed to be able to kill Zhu Yan when ZY is NOT in control? (Because if he were, we can presume he'd open up to give ZYC an opportunity for a lethal strike).

ZY has to train ZYC like nobody's business if they want to defeat Li Lun together (or apart...)

Is the airing schedule for the rest of the eps out?

I think ZY saw ZYC in that place because he did not actually see ZYC but Lord BingYi. Maybe he was remembering a past life when he was Lord Ying Long, and thought about it like LBY was the counterpart for LYL, as Li Lun was supposed to be for him, ZY - until ZYC came along...

Nobody goes to stand on a 20 square meters rock top for 300 years if they're not crazy in love with the one they're doing it for...

I hope Bai Jiu isn't lost forever. I don't trust Li Lun to be telling the truth - and he also said he put half his soul in that needle. Maybe the rest of it isn't enough to keep the kid down.

WHY DID THE SWORD BREAK!!!!!!

Where did Ao Yin go? (And why didn't she destroy the bow? I would've).

OMG evil demon Zhu Yan is way too crazy for me suddenly, LOL. I'll take kind-hearted Zhu Yan back, please and thank you!

That almost-kiss destroyed me...

ZYC can't be dead, so I'm not that worried, but what are they going to do with the sword? Re-make it? I get LOTR vibes right now LOL.

ETA He's baaaack!! (But he took Bai Jiu, I'm so conflicted right now...)

Please don't take a break now, please don't take a break now...

You think they can't amp it up more and then they do. Dammit, this is so addictive!

I don't think the whole gang will die... I don't have much hope for ZY and there were rumours about another one, but the others should survive. I mean, by the end of the story, obviously, otherwise I think it's safe to assume they're all going to die at the end of their days LOL.

I thought his name meant White Wine (I know it depends on the actual ideograms LOL but it could sound like white wine too...)

The result is that if ZYC keeps his promise, ZY ends up dead.

So don't call it dirty, that's all I'm saying. Just a simple courtesy.

Though TBH... watching so many famous BL-themed dramas or dramas with heavy bromance does give a certain impression. *shrugging* Not that I care, to each their own.
