Honestly, I think it has a lot to do with the director's camera angles and the editor's finalized shots. There…
Wang Kar Wai is famous for not caring about the plot in his works. He's all about evocative mood through camera work/angles and lighting. He's also very good at suggestive placement of items, like a motive of mirrors or some other object repeated through scenes. #movieminorInCollegeHAHA

Excellent stuff. Also, I was disappointed they cut out the part where he screamed in anguish after Ah Yin's death, as he pounded the sand. That was so important to show his pain and his utter disbelief that all he had done came to that one thing he didn't want to happen--her death. AND THEY FREAKING CUT THAT OUT. Ugh.

...... I felt the chemistry between them(Wang Anyu and Zhao Lusi) right from the beginning and that only got stronger…
I said the same thing in the beginning. I like LYR (he was in LLTG with LuSi, second lead!) but as I kept watching, I saw more chemistry. I think WAY held back in the beginning to show their youth, Gu Jin seeing her merely as a hatchling he helped hatch, then as a sect sister. The moment he started to wonder why he kept thinking of Ah Yin and protecting her, though, his demeanor shifted a little, and WAY's acting showed this. But you're right, if you're going to act with Zhao LuSi across from you, you'd better bring your A game.
He's starts off carefree with basic skills then eventually gets more powerful, but if you're looking for epic…
That's why I wrote what I wrote. I'd rather people who don't like the type drop it instead of bitch about it in their quickie review. Life is short, there's a lot of good dramas out, enjoy! I'm currently starting one of the Chinese Paladins out today.

No, his powers have been sealed and will remain sealed for half the episodes. After that, he made a SPOILER sacrifice and his power is limited (unknown to everyone, ala BaiJue way of doing things). This drama is very muted when it comes to power stuff. The main protags are very young immortals (several hundreds years old) coming into power as they grow up and being taken advantage of by the older and corrupt immortals. The four Scooby Gang will end up being the most powerful gods/goddesses/queens/kings of the realms but it'll take some time--lots of angst and pain and sacrifices and loss...xianxia stuff. The young immortals theme seemed to have flummoxed many viewers who couldn't take innocent, naive and relatively powerless protagonists to follow, so not sure what your taste is about this. I, for one, enjoyed their journey through happy, anguish and grownup and finally, HEA, times.
I just realized something on my end OMG 😅The name, Xuanyi and Xiuyan.... If you rearrange the letters, it's…
AHAHAHA. I like that for our BL hint! Yes, Xuanyi was more like a ghost, wanting to change fate. If I remember correctly, he made a bet with Shanggu about Yuanqi's fate a long time ago. Not sure if I remember correctly.
But you're right, if you're going to act with Zhao LuSi across from you, you'd better bring your A game.
