This drama is even irrelevant. As far as I know, this even has not started filming?! And with casting problem regarding Yuan Bing Yuan (dunno how that one turns out). I have watched the anime version. I don't think highly of this. Just not my type.

What?? Are they even dared to complain about the voice in IS????

I heard that it is her real voice (the one from LBFD). So perhaps it is better if we refrain to comment on that. Less we stoop to their level with body shaming. Let show who is the mature audience here.

Exactly! In front of money, these rating means nothing. As I said, the audience of IS in China dominated by mature age, do you think they have time to squabble with children? They choose the easiest way to support, through their money. And for those producers and all those companies that invest, it is the only thing that they will ever consider.

LLTG, I watched a couple of episodes. The acting turn me off. I also don't like this kind of storyline.
LBFAD, this I will check more carefully. I only tried ep 1. The CGI looks plastic and the head crown is an abomination.
The Longest Promise. Is this the one with Xiao Zhan? People should not make comparison with not-yet-aired drama.
Legend of Shen Li. Never heard of this. Will check later on.

---I know what I would start doing... anytime any page bashes this drama,I would inform everyone---
Yes, please do. I want to know those people taste.

If IS is not popular, those companies would not bother to set their advertisement in this drama. Money talk, not these keyboard warriors. Also, it also meant this drama target mature audiences, those with job and money to spend. You can interpret the fact as you wish.

I actually want to check out that drama since the story seems to be interesting. But this type of advertising really put me off. Not to mention those comments under the video of AvenueX.

Little to no chance in my opinion. Based on what little I have read in LBFD drama page, the watchers there mainly don't like IS.

Please share me the list. I would like to know what drama that these people deem to be better than IS. I would like to CHECK them myself.

Right?! It is so weird. Like being an emperor will make you unable to have happy love relationship. I think AoL screenwriter really did the audience disservice back then with magically changed the ending. The novel ending is perfect. Even the very popular TMoPB has Ye Hua and Bai Qian retain their position.

For IS ..... I am rather paranoid, since the drama trajectory is not convincing enough that Ying Yuan will stay as emperor as Yan Dan and him having different status to begin with. The precedence of drama with this kind of premise, the higher will follow the lower ......-__-
I hope I am wrong.

This kind of talking makes me looking forward to Xuan Ye and Ran Qing love story. That is the real power couple! Unfortunately, their core principal difference will make them to never able be together.

We can hope. I am losing my confidence toward this screenwriter.

Yes, I know. It seemed those fans finally got incensed because of the low rating and finally showed themselves up, hahahaha

I hope they become emperor and empress, too. With the Heavenly Emperor death, along with Ying Yuan, there will be a power void in the three realms. It will be very irresponsible of them if they are to throw away everything for their own pleasure in that current situation.

Please not another one magic change like AoL where the drama made the main pairing let go of everything while in the novel they were literally ruling the demon realm.

If they are to let go of everything, then it will make this drama the same as others out there. It is always about ML of high status let go of everything for the FL that has lower status. It never about two people working together and accepting each other. This kind of trend in the end will teach the new generation that love to chase career to look on love with disdain.

At the final battle, Ying Yuan will sacrifice himself. Yan Dan saves his trace of primordial spirit and then "cared" or kind of feeding him using her true body inside the agarwood burner. The particular scene, I think happen when Ying Yuan "resurrected". Since he has not yet re-cultivated his godly powers, thus there is no mark on his forehead.

By the way, I believe it is not in mortal realm. I am sure I see the Gou Dan abode behind, thus they are in heavenly realm. I myself prefer they are not letting go everything and go merry in mortal realm in the end. Because it will degrade the moral of the story. Love and responsibility should go together. I wish both of them can compromise for each other, not one sided.

I read a spoiler regarding your question. Open in at at your discretion.

Yeah, last night is so intense at douban. Usually the increase of people coming there to discussion is around 200 - 500 people/day. But yesterday up to this hour I write this comment, the increase is about 10,000 people. I read lots of drama fans even force their husbands to rate the drama, too, hahahaha

----I believe she chooses to end things because she has made peace with the fact she can't be the women to support him with his responsibilities ----
I am sorry, but I cannot see any scene or Yan Dan inner monologue that can justify this. She said it herself in the ep 39 that she waited Ying Yuan to say something that Tang Zhou has said, that is letting go being immortal (which means let go the position of emperor, which means letting go the responsibility) and be with her. It was this very sentence that stroke me to the core.

People said that Yan Dan only want the attitude, she was not really wanted Ying Yuan to let go everything. I cannot accept this logic. Because nothing in the drama that support this.

It is actually pained me to be so annoyed toward Yan Dan. This FL character started up so promising. Finally we get a FL that is not a damsel in distress. But why oh why, the drama in the end gives us FL with little girl way of thinking?! Yes, I know, this means we will get character development and so. Still, we can only discuss up to what already aired. And I don't like what I currently see. I am not saying she is a garbage FL. But, I am saying I dislike this character.

I will not fault people who feel identified with Yan Dan plight and empathize with her. But, I personally cannot. Because in ep 39, Yan Dan shows something that very much against my own principal in love relationship.

Just check it. It is indeed low. But, from the very beginning I can see lots people rate it one star. The reasoning is the usual nonsense about novel vs drama. I will not worry about it. I read that this drama has lots of advertisement so in business POV, this is a successful drama. To hell with those haters.

She wanted more, not just acknowledgement. Do you think I will rant this much if that was the only thing she wanted? Had it the only thing she wanted, I would have ranted toward Ying Yuan instead. Yan Dan said it herself, that she waited the words that implied Ying Yuan would let go of his position (and along with it, his responsibility) for her. And that she chose to let go of this love because she could not take the fact she would be number 2 again if push come to shove.

I never said that I could not understand where Yan Dan coming from. People that replied to my post seemed to think that I didn't understand Yan Dan and thus trying to explain Yan Dan reasoning. I did and do understand. I get it why she acts like this, what is her mental condition and her wish. It is exactly because I understand, I am annoyed. It is the character setting that I am annoyed with. Yan Dan here is portrayed as little girl. She is selfish in a way. She takes Ying Yuan responsibility and importance toward three realms too lightly (please do not quote Yan Dan in the part 2 trailer. That one is the "wisen-up" version. That one, I like). In her mind, her love is important. She can not see farther than her own pain seeing reality is not as sweet as her dream.

At first, she was angry because Ying Yuan "misstook" her. Well, she was the very one that chose to go along with her sister lie. Ying Yuan understood her wish to protect her sister thus he stayed silent. But, deep inside, Yan Dan actually wished for Ying Yuan to just said point blank that he knew it was her, despite what her mouth had said. This was a little girl attitude.

Second, she literally shot Ying Yuan question about love in front of soldiers. While she well knew that you could die for falling in love in heaven (no need to say about how stupid the rule is. It is the context of the story. Rule is rule). It was akin asking Ying Yuan to die together with her. She only wanted answer, no matter the price was. If the one who would paid the price was only herself, then it would be fine. But here, she literally wanted to drag her beloved together with her. This also was little girl attitude. You can defend her by saying that she was mentally distraught at that time. But, people core character is tested exactly when they are mentally stretched.

Those two events above, added with the one in ep 39, just kind of shooting me to the core. I personally hate character that disregard other people interest in order to satisfy oneself desire. I am not specifically nitpicking Yan Dan here. I know this is a story of her growing up. That's why I said that the one I cannot accept is the "current" her.

I am sorry for my long post ..... I think I treat this drama too passionately ....
