Uh… this is not wuxia drama - action, generally historical history based. It’s a xinxia drama - more fantasy, fairytale, many lives, changing forms. Magical beasts, super human Lowe’s and spirits. Lots of angst.

I can handle an ep a day but a 4 daybreak!?

Yes - like she says, she feels there are these invisible hands controlling her actions and path. And that chess match pretty much suggests who may be involved. It’ll be good to see the next ep27.

Oh - I got confused. Yes, Qin Yi called her Yulan.I thought you were referring to the Eunuch calling her Yulan.

Qin’s been obsessed over FL, visiting her at the brothel and wanting to buy her back but she’s only refused him every time. He picks up girls and calls them Yulan and force feeds them in an effort to make up for having lost her. Still creepy.

Hmmm…. Will need to revisit scenes with the eunuch but he;s sucks detsitable character

Interesting, I’ll have to check it out. There’s nice poetry in this drama but I struggle to keep up b/c of the language.

This is her family’s death?

Oh yea! So many of us were shipping them. That actor has my utmost respect.

And you know, that fact that he’s annoying you means he’s doing a good job as an actor because he’s definitely annoying her and a lot of the folks at the Yamen. They’re all just tolerating him b/c of his dad. I don’t want to spoil it for you but by the current airing ep 26, I’m liking him. He starts improving by eo 20-23 I think.

Yes - he doe get better. Yes, he’s an idiot right now. Pampered naive man child. As this puppy hangs out with her more, he’ll also slowly grow up. Some of his personality will still be his personality but he’ll become more respectful. I don’t think he knows she’s a she yet. That’s how clueless he is.

He will realize how his immature actions affect others and slowly grows from that. But it’s a process (like real life) and not an overnight transformation.

But I think Luo was meant to perish in that fire. Had she not gotten out to grab a midnight snack we would have no story. Her surviving was a mistake.

I thought he just had a fetishized for feisty girls

Interesting. We will see. Forgot about the eunuch. Why do I get a feeling the eunuch, officer Liu, Qin and older Qi bros are part of a network of hidden power. The oldest sickly bro looks Sus with his convo with his brother and father in ep 25-26.

Yea, I’m wondering too. I don’t believe they died so easily

Oh my goodness, good point about the altar flipping! And the great flood. I heard that there was actually evidence of a great flood from various accounts. So this idea of a do over can be traced to history? Imagine xianxia and real history.

Yes! absolutely love the open discussion and respect even when we have our different takes on characters. No hate and mud thrown at each other (for the most). I appreciate the time you guys spend to help me untangle all the details! The subs go by so fast sometimes.

Well put! Not just a cash cow drama.

NXY is the human form of TM. It’s a bit different than TM just like how MXL is different from Pearl.

LoL - seriously, everyone’s suffering because of him.

Yes, there are bigger shinier dramas with large fan bases airing right now. However, this drama is pretty good! I’m also enjoying Under the Moonlight which is an excellent drama without a large fan base.
