Terenia-Shaiana

The King only killed his older brothers.

His eldest sons were actually killed by his own son—the one who eventually became that monster. That son could also hear the spirits, and after discovering how his father had become king, he decided to follow the same path.

I honestly can't understand how anyone could dislike this gem. It has an amazing story, outstanding performances, incredible CGI, and even just the right touch of romance. It's been a long time since I've watched a drama this captivating. I really hope it gets a second season, especially since the ending clearly hinted that there could be more to come.

I've watched two episodes. It's quite good so far—there's a bit of drama, plenty of humor, and enough bloodshed and intrigue to keep things interesting. I'm going to keep watching.

I'm not sure I'd want to see TDOSAL released in the same format as this title — without proper editing, with scenes cut out, and without quality post-production work. So for now, I'm just going with the flow and hoping that Deng Wei will be back in Hengdian to film something new soon.

I'm waiting for the announcement too. But Wei-ge is in Paris right now, so I don't expect anything before July 1. I'm looking forward to all the announcements in July.

Personally, I completely support him in that. As a viewer, I enjoy seeing an actor in different kinds of roles rather than playing yet another general covered in foundation makeup.

I'd really love to see him in something similar to *Blades of the Guardians* (I absolutely loved Yu Shi's character there), or in a modern drama—just without all that suffocating romance.

Besides his talent and clear understanding of the path he wants to take, Deng Wei also has an incredible fandom. Right now, I'm watching how they're preparing for Paris, and I'm honestly amazed. Their numbers are much smaller than those of many other stars' fanbases, yet they are exceptionally organized. With support like that, Deng Wei has nothing to worry about.

Of course, I'm also looking forward to seeing Deng Wei in Guo Jingming's project and on the show with Wang Xingyue.

I highly recommend watching Episode 8. Deng Wei's character becomes much clearer and reveals a completely different side of himself. Also, Wei Wei is surprisingly good at comedy! The way he played the erhu and shyly talked about his studies had me laughing so hard.

For anyone planning to watch this drama, my advice is to treat it like a light and entertaining anime. And don't forget about Chinese censorship, which resulted in the series being re-edited and re-dubbed.

Enjoy the show, everyone! 😊❤️

I've watched 6 episodes so far. Two things disappointed me.

First, the terrible makeup and insufficient retouching of background and even supporting characters. The hairlines and wigs are absolutely killing me.

Second, Deng Wei's extremely limited screen time. And that's coming from someone who understands that his characters aren't the leads.

Everything else is actually quite decent: it's cute, often funny, a little cringey at times, but as a light-hearted comedy, it works surprisingly well.

I'll keep watching and see how it goes.

By the way, I haven't noticed any dubbing issues—the audio and lip movements seem perfectly synchronized to me.

P.S. After surviving *Love and Crown*, no amount of questionable editing can scare me anymore. 😆

Drama gods, please make the series interesting, and somehow make Zheng Shi not die.

Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.

Now the question is how we're supposed to survive *Clouds*. I've already bought a whole bag of tissues to wipe away all the tears. 😭😂

I meant that they wouldn't replace *him* with AI, but rather use AI for the actors and locations that were never actually filmed with him.

As for the season idea, it's an interesting thought, but I find it rather unlikely. The whole situation seemed to end on a pretty bad note, unfortunately... 😔

Exactly. Back then, he generated such huge sales for Shanghai Diamond that it was incredible. So now iQIYI wants to make some money after all their ambiguous statements and everything else.

I'm also really looking forward to TDOSAL, but I don't want them to ruin it with AI.

Finally. I think it's because of his villain role. After all, we never got to hear Su Yishui with his own dubbing.

Well, back in the day, the platform did him pretty dirty (I'm referring to TDOSAL). On top of that, at least one of his brands is preparing merchandise to coincide with the release of this title.
And, after all, DW is Dior Beauty's global ambassador. So they probably want to make some money and stay on the actor's good side.
But that's just my speculation.

At last, I'll finally have something to watch. Ever since May, none of the new titles have really clicked with me, so I've had no choice but to revisit some gems from the past.

No, noone.

I also just shared my opinion. So why did it trigger you so much?

It’s impossible to know everything. If you read my messages carefully, you would’ve seen that I’m actually a fan of the main actor. So of course I was interested in this drama too.

I always get upset when people think that only their interpretation is the correct one.

You can think whatever you want, but this is exactly how the director and the screenwriter see this story.

First of all, I absolutely did not tell you what to do. I only explained what I personally do in situations when I don’t like a drama overall or when I dislike some important part of it.

Secondly, I’m trying to explain that the storyline here is not typical for xianxia dramas (it’s not unique, but it’s also not formulaic), so expecting everything to follow the same pattern as other dramas is pointless.

Thirdly, by episode 38, Lu Qianqiao had almost completely finished his character arc — he chose to become the perfect war demon, killed the villain, and forgot everyone. In fact, Lu Qianqiao as a person disappeared. And under no circumstances will that personality ever return. Instead, a new being appeared — the Perfect War Demon. And if they wanted to properly show (without using silly narrative tricks) how he gradually befriended his own creation again and fell in love with the heroine, that would require a second season.

The last two episodes focus on the female lead because she is searching for Lu Qianqiao. And through that search, we were shown the conclusions of all the other characters’ arcs, while also connecting FCY to the director’s other dramas.

Fourthly, the director is working with Jialun for the second time already. And the actor himself expressed hope that this would not be their last collaboration. So there is no conflict between them. The team simply decided to end the drama this way.
