This is gonna be so random but does anyone feel that the bromance here is even stronger than The Untamed / Word of Honor despite it not being "BL"? I personally felt that for some reason due to various reasons, like their backstory and (tragic) fate and also... the gravitating strong chemistry between the two in general. Anyways all are amazing in their own way! I'm also saying this as someone who has The Untamed as one of my top favorite dramas of all time and enjoyed Word of Honor. Anyways, this really makes me wonder how this one passed censorship with all those touching moments between Zhao Yuanzhou and Zhuo Yichen (and a love triangle that includes Li Lun LOL). It's so rare getting these kinds of dramas so it makes me extremely happy we got this. It's so refreshing. Now I feel it's going to be difficult to top this one off, because really...
Yeah someone said that I don’t know what is wrong, I wanted jjy and joseph to have a love line 🥲
Awh dang I actually wanted Ju Jingyi and Joseph Zeng together, and Tian Jiarui and Chen Duling... I think I would've preferred it like that. I also think about how his character in FoF had a small crush on her character lol it would've been cool to see how their chemistry would be like as a couple this time.
EDIT: Omg wait Yanan is paired with Chen Duling? NVM, I so look forward to their pairing esp after watching them in FoF!!
The fact that this is Lester Lin’s first drama and it’s most likely not seeing the light of the day breaks…
Yes, and the fact that he now played a huge role in another BL (many of us like to believe it is bc the bromance is insane) "Fangs of Fortune"... Anyways, I really hope this sees the light of day somehow 😭🙏
1. Those first fight scenes we got between Yuanzhou and Yichen where Yichen wanted to k!ll him to avenge his family...…
I have not properly read this until now and omg the way you described that story really perfectly aligns with Yuanzhou and Yichen like woah... More of a reason to believe in the BL in this drama lol
So wait I just looked at the title again and I realized it says "Jiang Cheng" and I'm like wait that's The Untamed. I was surprised lol imagine we got Jiang Cheng from The Untamed for real tho xD
i cant even rewatch this because i hated xuanji's voice. i got used to esther yu's but this one is like the bane…
Do you mean for Love and Redemption? This was my first xianxia and I remember loving it so much bc of the plot. It's even one of my favorites. I'm actually really excited to watch it again in the future (but ain't ready for all the Sifeng suffering oof)!
Looking forward to seeing Chengyi (ofc) and Xu Zhenxuan the most! Can't wait! I already know that I'll love this!! Especially excited to see Chengyi in a dual role like woahhh!!
I am realy happy yichen doesn't has love interest in this drama and realy like his story about his life and his…
Same. It's refreshing without romance and watching his story and adventures. He might even be my favorite character. I mean, even if there is romance (I kinda wished there wasn't, but it's okay), I'm glad it's not the focus.
I am also really curious to see the story of Lord Ying Long and Bingyi! Honestly the most I'm looking forward to! Based on the teaser, it looks like we'll be seeing Lord Bingyi actually too bc of what happened to Yichen, so that's exciting! Finally the wait is over!!
I'm loving him so much in Fangs of Fortune. Been eagerly waiting for his performance there and he's doing phenomenal! His character being the most pure and innocent one in the group too... I love him so much. Now it's waiting time for Go to the Mountains and Sea. I can't wait! Still can't believe he's gonna be in that drama! I'm super excited! I feel like it'll totally become one of my favorite dramas as well!
This drama is bromance right? I really don't want to watch a straight drama .
Though it's romance between the ML and FL, there's so much bromance and sismance going on it makes you question about the romance imo and makes you actually kinda wonder how this passed censorship. As much as I don't really want to see the romance, I'm really enjoying it a lot. They really don't focus much on it too which is nice. Up until now there's no romance between the leads (they're not together) yet. You'll really love the chemistry between all the characters. My favorites are Yuanzhou and Yichen (ML characters) (watch out for a kind of love triangle between them and Li Lun), as well as Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing (FL characters). I find the youngsters, Ying Lei and Jiu, adorable as well. It's shocking bc Ying Lei gave a hidden message that really implies BL even tho they're ages apart but they made the meaning different in the drama lol I believe maybe Jiu was supposed to be older but they casted someone younger to pass censorship? Idk anyways yeah that's all! Overall, I think you'll enjoy this if you like BL! If you don't like the romance, you can still go ahead and skip the scenes if you want (which would be implied for later episodes).
so who do you think has more chemistry out of the characters
Omg yes we have the same exact thoughts. Btw, which sword dance do you mean? I can only think about the one where Yichen told Yuanzhou to join him in his sword dance. In that one, I was like, "Woah, he asked HIM, not Wen Xiao?" bc like two guys dancing... just wow, it was BEAUTIFUL!
And about making him want to live, I 100% agree. Like that time when Yuanzhou was thinking, about Wen Xiao's master telling him, "I know I can't persuade you, but I believe that one day you'll meet the person who makes you want to live," I know it can be easy to think it's Wen Xiao bc he's literally right next to her, but it legit transitioned to Yichen practicing swordsmanship and I couldn't help but think, "It's Yichen." Watching that made me a bit emotional.
And yeah, the scene after the blood moon... That one was so emotional. It's the fact that it was only Yichen... Yichen, the only person to go up to him, which takes a lot of courage, but it just shows their deep and strong bond. Even before the blood moon happened, these two had made plans together to overcome that situation.
When Yuanzhou was planning to fight against Li Lun by himself, I found it so beautiful and touching that Yichen came to stay. Yuanzhou was not expecting that. It was so precious. I know people ship Yuanzhou and Li Lun too but their relationship is not healthy at all, so I can't accept them, not even as friends atm. I really did find their childhood together really cute though. But yeah, wow... after their fight scene, the way Li Lun targeted either towards Yichen or another person to be killed... now that I think about it, really gives a hint of jealousy from Li Lun that now he himself has broken up with him (no matter the kind of relationship they had together) and has another one by his side.
so who do you think has more chemistry out of the characters
I feel the same exact way as you. In a way, it feels like Li Lun is Yuanzhou's ex (I mean literally they were so close but then became enemies) and now it's Yuanzhou and Yichen fighting side by side together. Yuanzhou and Yichen surely have this deep bond that ties them together (but also a sad one that I pray they don't have a tragic end like Ying Long and Bingyi (yes, the trailer / MV might show sadness but you never know they could be trying to throw us off)). I also feel like Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing's chemistry is really good. Wen Xiao feels a bit more like herself with her.
It’s very sad ZhuYan is not treated fairly. He does so much for the group, yet not all appreciate him. Not enough…
Idk, I feel deep down that it was actually Yichen (I still like Wen Xiao so don't come at me haha) that makes him want to truly live. Like I'm not sure if you remember that one scene, but Yuanzhou was thinking about what Wen Xiao's master told him about finding someone that will make him truly want to live, and while Wen Xiao was right next to him (which may seem like he was thinking about her), it immediately transitioned to Yichen practicing swordsmanship while his song played too. And we often got to see these two side by side as well always having a conversation that resonates a deep bond between them. Even after Yuanzhou became unconscious and then conscious again, it was only Yichen that came up to him during such a tough moment, and his words, while feeling harsh, is like in a way helpful for Yuanzhou as he continues living on. But ofc I know there's gonna be romance between Yuanzhou and Wen Xiao. I do lowkey like that it's not a huge focus though (as much as I enjoy romance) and more on the adventures since that's what I like more and find more meaningful and intriguing. But to each their own. :)
This is the most nonsense I've read in a comment.You have no idea about the issue, yet went so far as calling…
I'm not the best at putting the right words out, so I'm really sorry. Now that you say that, I think you're right. So honestly, thanks for your comment. I've never read the novel so I just believed what others said too easily. The only best way to know I guess is really just reading the novel. I think I'll delete my comment to bring out less negativity under this drama's page!
The fact that Ai Mi and Zuo Ye are here again.... But it looks like maybe they won't be a couple bc Ai Mi is just a guest role? Oof! I need these two to have a happy ending together as a couple one day!! 🥺😭🙏

Edit: I just realized you replied to this comment of mine where I brought up the list of scenes which shows BL elements between the two LOL what a coincidence to be replying to your comment later on!
