ShortCircuit

He's all chatty about their performance and smiling when it's BL's turn, then gets a bit shy at the kiss LOL. Meanwhile she's barely paying attention to him because she's focusing so hard on the screen, and at the kiss she's basically almost leaning on him :D

If these two aren't good friends, I've wasted all my skills in decyphering body language LOL.

OMG I just realized they're watching the wedding night s*x scene in Bo're Life when he's losing his voice LOL no wonder he's being chatty, he had A LOT to say at that moment and couldn't hahaha

Myself, I couldn't stand the second pairing but I did watch it through for the leads, the doggy, the comedy and the sizzling chemistry. And I might've had a girl crush on the lady VIP LOL (which BTW is playing a support character in here, one of the goddesses).

If you start TTEOTM, give it a chance even with the miscommunication (they can't help, that's what pushes the plot and drama on for 99% of xianxia LOL).

(Reference points for me - character's progress > plot > soundtrack > cinematography > everything else. So you would see how I'm comparing it to the dramas in my completed list. TTEOTM stands between 9 and 9.5 for me at this time - 4 eps to go.)

One of the chain links broke in that scene. It happens. It also escaped checkers LOL, I guess they'll get to fix it before re-runs.

You haven't watched even a wuxia drama (I like the humour in YB, standard wuxia it is not), xianxia will kill you outright (and this one of the best xianxia LOL).

There is a plot. You'll very probably enjoy it since you watched and liked (enough) Reset (yes there will be time travel and time paradoxes).

What this (or any other xianxia) won't do for you (unless you let it/them): there will be lots of drama (of the heartache pain and misscomunication / misunderstanding kind.) There will be amazing cinematography and epic battles (this one has the best battle scenes I've ever seen in xianxia) and they will be of great importance to the story, but there will be no physics allowed while they're fighting. There will be some characters that would make you throw your watching device away in frustration or rage. There will be lots of hidden meanings and tropes that may seem obscure but are pretty clear to someone more familiar with the genre. There will be record-breaking blood spitting (it's a trope LOL).

What this will definitely deliver on: amazing acting skills, great chemistry, beautiful sets, the best costumes I've ever seen, Maybe some PTSD (depending on the ending).

If you're of a mind to try on at least one xianxia drama, then yes, this one. But it'll set a very high standard.

PS Edited to add: I watched the leads in other dramas (including in their other one together). I like both of them as actors, together and separately. This is LYX's best drama yet and he had the chance to outshine everybody else. I might like Bai Lu's Love is Sweet better, but it's very probably because her more bubbly personality has a chance to come out better in that modern drama. So I'd like to think I'm not all that biased :)

First time: TTJ the hostage prince raising his eyes to look at YXW (in episode 1). STILL the best scene in the drama for me. I think I convinced my sibling to watch it based on it (they never watch Asian dramas LOL).

The rest: there's no time to mention basically every interaction in the drama LOL. I mean, even TTJ looking at NBY with a raised eyebrow when YXW - as maid - decides she's going to seduce him by throwing a tantrum. LOL. I can't.

Edit: EVERY battle scene is better than the last one, and none of them are lacking. This drama is the most epic xianxia EVER. Rewatched all of them plenty of times LOL.

Any of you rewatched the whole episode immediately it was over?....

Glad I'm not the only one :D

You must've watched Theory of Love LOL.

*checking* Oh, you haven't! Well, now you have to :)

He's also cute!!!! But yeah, I won't usually recommend it. It was the final arc that killed the mood for me, LOL. Those who watched it will remember the God of War part :D

I don't know how DG convinced them. Maybe they thought it was kind of okay, since they too have some powers (talking to animals for example). They also live by the Nether River's gate, so they're bound to have some strange traditions. Who knows.

The priestess that saved TTJ as a baby might have had something to do with putting the bone in his heart (before his birth, so maybe she didn't see it as doing something bad to a living being).

Parts of the backstory will be around 34, have patience :D

Server issues (replied above). Happened to me too, glad to see I wasn't the only one (now that it's solved LOL).

Server issues, happened to me too (also thought I was being shadow banned or something LOL). Support replied fast though, I liked that very much :D (shoutout to you guys!)

I don't think the tribespeople knew he would suffer all that much. I don't know where you are by now in the story, but there'll be some backstory details, and the pain and abusive destiny might be prepared by the Devil God because he wanted to, not because it was a prerequisite for him in order to have better access to TTJ's body.

Xianxia is by definition dogblood. LOL, I've read a danmei where there's a MC who produces media, and at one point he's making a cute sweet school drama and times it's release to fall right before the middle arc of a big IP xianxia because he knows that xianxia always get bloody and painful and wants to get the attention of people wanting to de-stress (it works, too!)** For some reason, that stuck with me :D

I took a look at BFTB's first two trailers - or the teaser then the trailer. The story as in the presentation in MDL sounded very similar to another novel I've read - and it's not the novel being adapted, either, so I was afraid about it, but it looks safe for now. The ML looks very good, the FL has the usual spunky attitude (that I usually can't stand, sorry), and TBH, the special effects at least in the trailer aren't anywhere near TTEOTM's. TTEOTM raised my standards for special FXs so high I seriously doubt any other drama will get there soon.

Master Zhaoyao was busy preparing wedding gifts and missed all the fun.

**For anyone interested, the novel I've mentioned is Accidental Mark. Check out what danmei means before digging it up, LOL.

We all went through that blind rage. It all passes, LOL.

2ha. *fingers crossed, come on, Tencent, come on!!*

4 eps to make up a 4 spittings difference. I think TTJ's got it.

He was always an (unwilling) sacrifice, yes,

I 've no idea. Let's see first what they did prepare.

What do you mean it didn't? Yes it did. Right before the news comes that the Cen heir is dead, they three masters have finished sealing it. That's what they're talking about when the messenger comes.

The bracelet broke because YXW gave her divine essence to TTJ and then underwent the lightning tribulation. She didn't actually die - she's a phoenix, I wonder if she could stay dead in such a circumstance. YXW's BODY died. LSS's soul went on back through time to the other LSS's body in the immortal sect. But the bracelet isn't linking them anymore, since they're both different persons than what it linked in the first place.

TTJ lives because 1. he has the divine essence now and 2. he's outside time, in the Nether River. Even with no cultivation (at that date), the essence is preserving his life and then, after he's thrown out, he does cultivate himself (while still having the divine essence from LSS).

Like, how?
