Y'all when do you think this is coming? Bc I wanted to watch both their other dramas tgt b4 this. I finished One and Only last month which was amazing (but so heartbreaking) and will prob end up starting Story of Kunning Palace soon since it looks like this one might come soon? 🫣🫠
I still can't believe the plot twist of Xiao Yao and Ning'an... Like all this time it was her and it wasn't truly her intention bc she was controlled as a puppet? Like this is crazy 😭
One question tho... If this is what actually happened in the past why didn't we see her actually kill herself with the sword? Judt bc she changed it? I thought this was intended to show exactly what hsppened in the past.
I loved Bing Zhu in like the first half but dang he feels so OOC lately like wtfrick he was my fave character but not anymore (and they better make him better again or give me smth to like him like I did initially)! I was initially into Pianpian and Bing Zhu's dynamic but nahh I can't... Bing Zhu needs to get away from Pianpian now bc like whatever is controlling her I can't understand bc it's like she's allowing it or what... I thought she was getting better. Bing Zhu was so much better without her. Anyways, I hope my rant doesn't age well lol.
There's a bromance btw Dylan Wang and Wang Duo? Sign me up! I legit just finished GOTD and my next drama ended up being TUS and now TBL (for its anniversary) which makes this crazier for me 😭
It's cool to finally see Xiaoyao in the past. Wonder when she will learn she's really Ning'an herself? Ngl, I even find it more interesting than Xiao Yao and Hong Ye in the present for some reason.
And while I am enjoying it rn, is it just me or what I would've changed to make it even more epic is Xiao Yao going into the past without her memories at all so that we get to see Ning'an and Hong Ye's story unfold; thus leaving Xiao Yao with Ning'an's memories.
On the other hand, I think it's too high. The main characters are terribly written, they are being outshone by…
We got multiple interesting character arcs and ofc every one of them die which tbh were the parts that kept me invested (besides second pairing) - A Li (who was w/ the blind girl Yunyi), Dreamshard (and the vengeful spirit), and Taotie (which u mentioned). I loved them. I guess these are to prepare for our main cp (but tbh they shouldn't be taking this long to give us their story...)
Frrr... I am, ngl, a little bored watching the two leads tgt now bc their romance is just missing smth for me idk lol. I am still enjoying this drama for the most part tho. I just wished they developed the main cp more... I am even more invested in the second pair dang.
I really enjoyed this drama. It is definitely more friendship focused and about the connections the ML makes with…
Omg I legit just finished GotD recently and it was really a refreshing watch! WoF, you need to get ready! I do love that it's a mix of angst and lightheartedness tho, I will tell you that! But yeah, you will feel a lot esp for Tang Lici's character! And yep, no romance in this one :) Your favorite genres/themes are legit mine too!
I did not expect to see Chen Xinhai's character go so fast like man am I getting FoF flashbacks with these side characters having emotional backstories like this (including Bing Zhu and his sister)... I bet this is getting ready for our main cp's story, plot, and angst to come in future eps that we have yet to see 😭
To everyone dropping bcoz of this being a typical xianxia drama, I wud suggest watching something else first..…
You're right. I've been seeing many ppl find this drama just okay and usually I may get tired with same tropes and cliches but for some reason I am really loving this. And it's prob like you say. It's best to take breaks in btw so you don't get tired of watching the same genre. I meam tbh the last xianxia I watched was S&B (despite the cliches u can't deny the writing wasn't that great) and LITC (which I thought was pretty good), and I watched those like 1-2 months ago. And then there was Whispers of Fate which came after so it was like... My most anticipated drama which actually didn't disappoint bc I felt it was different from what I've been watching. It was pretty unique. I don't always watch xianxias, so tbh, I was even lowkey craving for one, smth magical, when it's like nearing the end of the year, for a good way to end the year, and I feel like it really was a good choice to put it at the end of the year bc to me it was refreshing. I am also invested in the different characters and their stories that we are introduced to. I feel this will lead up to our main cp, their story, and more angst to come. Also don't get me started on the effects. As a Nezha lover, they don't disappoint!
I understand you 😁 and ofcourse tus is amazing and doing well and definitely in the future do better but I'm…
Lol I used to do that. But I think I will enjoy dramas more with the same actor when watched separately to fully appreciate the actor's work by putting my focus on one at a time.
I enjoy Gui Mudan's character song the most. But for overall songs, I like the OP song the most because it makes…
Hey sorry for the super late reply. And I agree. I didn't like the way the director for FoF did this oof. If they are gonna focus on the bromance (which I really loved) then don't make her a romantic partner to the ML (idk if u thought this way but it's for me) bc like dang... It just didn't suit this drama imo. And you are right. I quite like her character but at the same time she annoyed me in some moments nc of the way she was written. For instance, why make her sit on the ground during intense scenes? It's genuinely so annoying and not fitting as if she should be out of the scene if anything since she obv doesn't suit being in these scenes when she is physically weak. She is useful but not for these things. Show us her doing more than what we got.
Also about Zhao Yuanzhou, I understand where ur coming from for pushing away Li Lun. I genuinely felt sad for Li Lun bc he really made him feel alone. Also, about the guard's heart, do you mean the first ep? I think he didn't actually do it (iirc) but just caused him injuries (which is still bad ik but tbh hurting ppl is common in cdramas anyway). I believe he acted like this towards Yichen bc at first he wanted him to see that he is the cruel demon that everyone says he is when he truly isn't. The killings were an accident bc of the demonic energy that entered onto him. Also when we say he is a good guy, well, rmr, b4 this, he was very lonely, sufferring from the thought of all his killings. As for Li Lun, he really killed many with his own hands, and he wasn't controlled unlike Yuanzhou. There is an dfference between them. It was also a huge misunderstanding where Yuanzhou wasn't aware about hurting Li Lun with the Ever-Burning Wood until the moment he disappeared in that one ep. And he felt so terrible and awful for what he did to him. You also can't deny Li Lun did so many bad things. This stems from not just misunderstandings but also different values btw the two characters. Li Lun felt so attached to Yuanzhou after spending years tgt so I can understand him. Doesn't take away the fact that he's done so many evil deeds himself. Yuanzhou is the same but let's not forget he's always controlled when going into a killing spree. In the end he sacrificed himself to save the world which I thought was so beautiful and selfless of him to do, esp since he became someone who actuallg wanted to live by the time he had to die.
I agree about Ying Lei. So I didn't like how he was not getting enough appreciation. He was such a lovely character who cared so much about his friends that I don't understand what went wrong with the screenwriters for the characters at times forgetting about him as part of the friend group... I just couldn't believe what they did there. You can tell they were really sad to see him go, BUT yk what... the writing of his death was sooo bad bc wdym u r just watching him continuously get stabbed by Li Lun with those vines (don't forget he killed our precious Ying Lei too). I can't forgive Li Lun for this. And at the same time it stems from Yuanzhou for not speaking up during their conversation iirc b4 this event occurred. But I mean, c'mon, why is Li Lun going around killing many innocents. It'z nonetheless unacceptable. He let his emotions get the best of him sadly. I just wished they had cleared it up thru their convo so all this wouldn't've happened... Ying Lei could've possibly survived. His death was the saddest ever to me I couldn't stop crying even in the next day OOF.
Okay sorry that was long and ik u prob won't agree with everything I say but if u read all the way ty! I apso just wrote this on the spot while reading ur comment so if it's messy and hsrd to understand I'm sorry lol.

P.S. I can't wait to meet you in Veil of Shadows and Shadows of Desire!
