Thanks for sharing! Oh no BYT is my fave :(

I know this isn’t supposed to be a romance centered drama but it seems like there will be a love line between ZZ and LL? But am I just the minority when I say that I kinda ship ZZ with the 2FL and LL looks better with her fiance or even BYT? LOL Her fiance is so ambitious but I see some genuine feelings from him, maybe I am just a sucker for childhood sweethearts. Also BYT and her look cute. Anyone wanna spoil what happens in the novel? The novel looks short for what is being adapted

I thought it was the same character too haha. They like casting him in these roles. And dressed in white too!

Omg i actually lowkey ship ZZ with the other girl. And feel more chemistry between LL and her fiancé and the guy in white loool

thanks for sharing!

Can anyone explain the relationship between Zi Ji and Feng Yi? Did they ever give more background info and how they met (i.e. novel/drama) and context as to why she (an Immortal) came to accompany him? Does he end up having a short life?

Yay! More love for Jiang Ni! I agree. I like the subtlety and slow burn between the two of them here. For Joy of Life it was definitely more exciting but the romance was my least favourite part. Tbh I wouldn't mind if they never included it in JOL. But that's just my opinion haha.

I heard there is recasting of the princes and it's also uncertain whether Chen Dao Ming will return. I hope they keep the main cast because changes, otherwise, I don't think I can watch!

sorry i should probably watch the episodes in all their entirety before asking ahaha. i just wanted to know because it'll take time for me to get through these heartwrenching eps. :((

too hard to watch, too sad!

Did anyone watch the Kdrama Goblin? Lol that scene with Duan Xu fighting through wind and snow to make his way back to Simu reminded me so much of when the Goblin fought to come back to his love after he “perished”.

Thanks for the explanation, which would make sense since ZiJi and Feng Yi hinted on his return

How come Chen Ying didn’t become a jellyfish immediately after death?

Why Duan Xu cannot be a spirit like Chen Ying? His first desire was for peace and later his dream was to be with He Si Mu so wouldn’t that make him bound to an obsession? Or would he have moved on and not become a spirit because both dreams were realized?

Can someone explain…

They should collaborate in a modern series

Yeah I think people like intriguing grey characters and seeing him show his full potential in talent and wit. I do too, but I also appreciate seeing him come out of that shell he was clearly hiding behind.

I heard. But it would have been fine if they just combined it in one ep to save us from the grief! Hahaha

I still have a few episodes left to watch but I just want to show my appreciation for Duan Xu. Our little golden retriever. I've been seeing some comments expressing disappointment over his character trajectory/development. I can definitely see where the sentiments are coming from because he was introduced as a fierce and cunning general, someone who hides all of his complexities behind a smile. But later on, we see him focusing almost entirely on his love for Simu.

NGL ep 8 was Duan Xu's episode (actor did a great job) and I kinda missed seeing that layered character too.

However, I think that's the whole point. The person we see in the beginning isn't his true self, but the outcome of pain and torment. Someone who is trying to find normalcy and redemption after being abandoned and having his hands stained with blood. We get to see more of his true self after meeting Simu. It's ironic because loving the Ghost King doesn't really steer him in the direction of normalcy, but she is the one person who brings him inner peace. Someone he can be vulnerable around and completely himself. He was finally able to move on from that past. And his love was a big focal point (from what I heard about the novel). I admire him because he was someone who was deprived of love and almost lost himself as an assassin, but can love so fiercely.

The last few eps were so tragic :( I don't know if I can watch them all to the entirety ahaha. I wonder why they decided to end it like that with an extra episode. Couldn't they just include them all in one episode with Duan Xu coming back to life at the end (like the original)? I don't understand the logic of having two different endings. They should either stick to one (like the original) or leave it as is.

I might be missing something but if Duan Xu dies (and having such an attachment to Simu) wouldn't he be the same as Chen Ying and end up a spirit in the Void? Sounds morbid, but they technically can all be together there.

Also what was Zi Ji's overall purpose? Why is she with the Feng Yi?
