Regarding Zhi Yang, I believe they will follow the novel. But I am afraid we will only see him in ep 48 and 49.

Yeah, the angst is building up right now. We see how Shang Gu hurt Bai Jue unknowingly. The thing with tea, I don't remember ever reading that in the novel so I think it is a drama addition. Well, the more Bai Jue suffer under Shang Gu hand, the more the pain Shang Gu will be later on after she knows everything.

The last chapter of the novel is so beautiful in a way. Painful yes, but very beautiful. We can see the extend of Shang Gu love to Bai Jue. When I read she said to Zhi Yang that it was when Bai Jue disappeared that she felt the three realms better to not exist, I finally can see how much Bai Jue means for Shang Gu. I hope to be able to see this portrayed in my screen.

I really hope the drama will add on something on father and son relationship in the end. Because I don't read anything about this in the novel ......

Bai Jue and Tian Qi bromance is gold. Love each of their interactions.

Watching Bai Jue in the last arc is very painful, especially if you are already privy to what will happen in the future. That is why I am so looking forward on how Zhao Dong Yu will portray Shanggu reaction after all truth is opened

I noticed his slender posture when he is in that black garb. I think the layers in his black costume is thinner than the white ones in the early episodes.

On the other hand, there are lots of underweight actors out there. Acting as a warrior when I think their hand might fracture as soon as they hold a spear

Exactly!! Watching the preview of ep 47 when it would be last time Shang Gu meet Bai Jue before his sacrifice is so painful. The novel also has this scene. Bai Jue even said in his heart that the pain from the sword is lesser than the pain brought by Shanggu words. It is when she said that she will neither love nor hate Bai Jue and they will be stranger

Yes, agree on his acting. I mean, people there are so judgmental toward actor/actress weight. Currently we have lots of underweight actor/actress that are so uncomfortable to be looked at. Even though perhaps he is fatter than usual in this, it is not really noticeable that can hurt our eyes.

I started to scouring Bilibili website (Chinese youtube). The majority of comment from passerby fans under ALP video actually quite positive. But from what I can derive from their comments, the bad review from hater in early episodes already done its damage. Therefore, it makes people wary to try watching this drama.

I don't what had happened behind the scene. But I somehow smell a conspiracy in this. The bad review seems to come too early. As if certain group has already stand-by and immediately attacked once the drama aired. Xu Kai is not fat in this drama. I think he looked bulked out because of the styling of Bai Jue in the beginning. Those clothes also quite thick as I see it. When he is Bai Jue v2, in black and thinner clothes, actually he looks slander enough.

Anyway, he is the god of war here. I would prefer the actor to have muscle than only skin and bone. To be honest, every time I saw a too thin actor acted out as general or someone with martial arts, I felt so uncomfortable. It was such an eyesore that even could take away my enjoyment in watching.

This is why I am here. To share the excitement and to discuss things with fellow drama watcher. I cannot have this kind of discussion with my friends in real life.

Honestly, I am of the group that prefer Bai Jue than Qing Mu. Qing Mu is a free man, without responsibility and any attachment. But responsibility is what make Bai Jue who he is. I fall in love with Bai Jue in ep 1 - 16. He loves Shang Gu, but he never shy away from his responsibility as true god. It is so contrast with Wu Xi love to Feng Yan. He took her away, didn't care about her responsibility, and damn all the consequences of his action.

Bai Jue loves Shang Gu, he doesn't want her to die, but he also knows that tribulation of chaos needs to be solved no matter what. So he gives the alternative, himself. The reasoning why Bai Jue chooses this way instead of Tian Qi way, is because he is a responsible man. He cannot shed away that burden from his shoulder despite his love to Shang Gu. That is why I love his character so much.

By the way, enjoy the novel. The novel is very beautiful in my opinion

Agreed!!!! This drama is very eye feast. CGI is also very very very good.

The one who pretends usually would be the one who bear the most pain. The pain is double. The pain of hurting the other and the pain of he himself receive from that respective other.

I wait for the time when truth will be revealed. How Shang Gu will face all of this? As far as I see, Zhao Dong Yu acting is top notch. I have been frustrated by a number of actress for their inability to express a pain so great that its like the whole world is crumbling.

The costume in this drama is very good. Those flowing light color looks very immortal and fairy like.

Yes!! There is a passage in the novel concerning this. Inner monologue of Bai Jue saying something that Qing Mu is never disappeared but he no longer that man that can only wait for her (I think this is related to some event in Qing Mu - Hou Chi love story).

I do believe Shang Gu and Hou Chi is one and the same. They are the same soul. Hou Chi might not have the memories of Shang Gu, but her soul in the end let her fall to Qing Mu which is Bai Jue himself, even also without past memories. Their soul resonance with each other.

I am pausing at ep 38 raw (not yet watch the sub version). I am afraid I will go crazy if I binge watch until ep 46 raw and then need to wait for one week for the last 3 episodes. I sooth myself by reading the novel instead ...... Let's see how long I can hold on from the temptation

Agree with you. I think he just "back" to his past self before mellowed because of meeting Shang Gu. And he has his reason of being back acting cold in front of Shang Gu

We need to wait for literally 1 week for 3 last episodes?????? NOOOOOO!! I want them now!

Just finished watched the preview. Great acting from Zhao Dong Yu and Xu Kai!!! This is the kind of expression and portrayal that I have always been looking for in this kind of tragic scene. That episode 48 and 49 really hurt really good ....... I cannot wait to watch the episodes in entirety.

I already slept pretty late last night because I couldn’t stop reading the novel ...... It would be another late sleeping again tonight.

The novel is very good. Love every bit of it. The son of Houchi and Qing Mu is very adorable

Yes, he indeed play well enough. The expression is spot on. Also I can feel that his portrayal is stable throughout the drama. When he is Bai Jue, he shows Bai Jue happiness in a strained way. Little smile here and there but never over the top. It is suitable for Bai Jue who has lived for so long alone and burdened by heavy responsibility. On the other hand, Qing Mu happiness shown freely with big smile and gesture.

So far, I like what I am seeing.

I am also quite surprised reading the comment from that certain someone in here. I even checked her comment in Xu Kai personal page. Jupiter Rules is a new account and only has ALP listed at her watching list.

I have known Xu Kai since The Legends. It is the script fault for the drama to fall down in the 2nd half. Acting wise, honestly I preferred him than Bai Lu at that time. In ALP, I think his skill has improved. His portrayal for Bai Jue desolation after Shang Gu death is very good. I have great hope for him in the future.
