This. I hate the "I'm so shocked you're kissing me, I'm just going to stand here like a deer in headlights" moments in some dramas.

I do believe it's Hyde, Jekyll, and me :)

The book is definitely spicier, but there's something about the slow burn between WWX and LWJ in the adaptation that's so lovely to watch. The long looks and unwavering loyalty really gets me in the feels.

I added it to my ptw list in passing a couple days ago, but I'll definitely move it up the priority watch list! It didn't seem like my cup of tea, but I've only heard good things about it! :D

I understand. This was my first 50 episode watch. I had some hesitation since I have the attention span of a goldfish.

A lot of viewers (including myself) believe that it was a couple years later. If you look closely, WWX is wearing a different outer robe than he was when they parted. In the novel, they don't part at all and end up living together happily ever after.

Major spoilers up above. Don't read if you haven't finished watching!

Yes, it is. It can be a little confusing in the beginning, but if you stick with it TU is a great watch. :)

Wen Qing was killed by the sects along with the rest of the wen clan (minus WN of course) It is heavily assumed that NH was the one pushing the investigation along and that he was responsible for MXY summoning WWX's soul back. At the end, LWJ and WWX do part for some time, but the ending scene takes place some years later on the (I'm guessing) same hill. WWX is playing the song that LWJ wrote for the two of them at the end as well. You should definitely go back and watch it to absorb all the wonderfulness, but if it's too long for you, try watching the 20 episode version. It skips over a lot of the major plot, but focuses on Wangxian more. :)

It's more like longer scenes or scenes from a different angle. There's the longer scene when WWX sees the brand on LWJ's chest (hello WYB's nipple), the scene where LWJ is drunk and we see WWX grab his hand, and the added ending waterfall scene, etc. But yes, this is definitely something that should be watched after the 50 episode version. It's more of an accompaniment that focus's on Wangxian rather than the whole storyline.

TU is very much a forever addiction. It's super hard to move on from this drama, lol.

Ah, okay. Another thing to possibly check out is My Country: The New Age. The brotherhood in there is amazing, and (at least I think) the ML's are handsome. It is Korean though, so I'm not sure if you're trying to stick to Chinese dramas.

If you read the book it gives you a better understanding of the sequence of events. WWX doesn't remember anything from the time he was dead. Nobody, not even WWX, knows where he went when he died, so that remains a mystery. The body probably was destroyed in the fall though. In the book he was 18/19 when he died, I believe. The drama is set a little differently so he was probably in his early twenties. Hope this helps answer your questions. :)

I would also recommend S.C.I. The genre is not wuxia, but it fits the chemistry bill. :)

Three chaotic OTP's in the same series? Sign me up, lol

I thought the same thing, but I guess people often get confused with the two intersecting storylines.

They do leave a lot of little hints that the relationship between the two is something more, but I think the thing that makes it so universally enjoyable is that it can be interpreted differently depending on the viewer. It was romantic for me, but it is not for a lot of viewers as well. The depth of the relationship in the drama between WWX and LWJ goes beyond words entirely. While the chemistry between them is an obvious plus, there's a lot to love about TU. :)

Not sure if you got the answer yet, but the 50 episodes is the full story with no cut scenes. I highly recommend watching that first. The 20 episode version has scenes cut from it to focus on the two ML's and their storyline.

I honestly pterodactyl screeched when I realized it was them. I was not expecting a wild HIStory couple to appear.

There probably is. The screenwriters and directors really did a great job dropping little easter eggs throughout the live adaptation for the book readers (the brand on LWJ's chest, ect.) Now I feel like I should read and watch all over again xD

In the drama, Woo Bin's character is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and was given a year to live. After the drama, Woo Bin was diagnosed with throat cancer, but thankfully he recovered. :)
