what does that mean exactly? Sorry I don't follow Douban so not sure how it works

Very good summing up of the two

THANK YOU!! This is what I have been saying!

First and foremost please use spoilers for those that have not watched as of yet. Also just putting this out there but I think he looks great in the white hair. But we all have our own preferences I guess.

LOL this thread is confusing. No the response was to the original post from @delicateasme. I am not sure why the thread is all over the place on where the comments popped up. I hope you get some sleep :)

I'm not sure why you feel sorry for her. Other than the fact that her father is a piece of work with his love life and completely ignored her mother, that of course I can understand feeling bad for her. But if someone came to me and offered to help my mother in exchange for not being loyal to the father that basically was non-existent in her life, you bet I would take them up on the offer.

I didn't take it as offensive. Sorry if it came across that way. I just had some trivia crap in my head and thought I would share. Honestly, if my brain retained anything of actual use it would be fabulous lol

I think the hairstyle is actually supposed to be the Wan Ji hairstyle from the Song Dynasty if I remember correctly. Which is probably where the Maleficent movie pulled inspiration from.

I think too many people forget the era and culture when judging how someone should be acting. IE- spoiled, scheming rich girl. Honestly I think she is staying true to that time period on how she portrays herself. Plus I don't think that she is all that spoiled. She may come from a wealthy family but she is extremely conscientious of how she should behave in society and even in private for that matter.
So I agree with you that I think the actors are doing an amazing job on each of their characters and I am enjoying the show quite a bit.

Is the 1 Week with no episodes accurate?? And then only a single episode a day after that??

So yeah, there is a lot of things that revolve around chinese mythology in this drama and it can be confusing. As far as Jinxiu goes the only "soul" that he ever "gathered" was hers. Everyone else reincarnates on their own. As long as you have a soul to reincarnate then you will have another life.
In the beginning of the drama the Emperor tried to destroy Hongning's soul but before it completely dispersed Jinxiu used his own bones to kind of "hold her together?" (not sure if that is best explanation but the one that comes to mind) which then walked her through over the bridge of reincarnation so that she was able to be reborn. This is why she had the demon king power (because ultimately Jinxiu was born to be the demon king and he gave her part of his immortal bones).
To be honest I started to skip over quite a bit when it comes to Baicha. Honestly he annoyed me so much that I wanted to stab him in the eye. Really disappointed that he didn't suffer more in the end. So while I can guess as to his part of reviving her I don't want to give a wrong explanation and maybe confuse you on a later drama.
Hopefully this was able to answer some of your questions. And welcome (albeit a little late) to the Chinese drama club. Glad to have you :)

BTW I don't know if you are new to chinese dramas or not. But if interested in xanxia type of dramas you might want to research some chinese mythology. They tend to play heavy into their themes. It would answer a lot of questions on why they do some of the things that might not make any sense

@kawaiiReina -Because if a being is destroyed by the Samahdhi Fire they are completely destroyed. Soul and all. There is no coming back. Jinxiu killed them before the fire could consume them. Thereby saving their souls and allowing them to be reborn. Therefore he "saved them" by allowing their souls to not incinerate

Whoa. Back the chicken truck up. I wasn't trying to start a fight. I literally was just giving my perspective. Everyone deals with grief, trauma and crisis differently. This was my take. I am the kind of person that puts what needs to be done first and foremost before tackling the rest. And yes that includes having my emotions in check. I know it may not sound logical for some people but that is literally how I have managed to keep going through some really difficult time in my life. Like I said, I am a very rational/logical person.
I am also not saying that a different approach is wrong either. You just asked if it made sense, and to me it does.
Sorry if I came across like I was being argumentative. I really did not mean it that way.

As someone who is rational, yes I think this is logical. He is still alive and needs care. Life still has to be taken care of. You take care of the urgent matters at hand while planning. To walk into something unprepared is foolish. And personally, if I was planning to take someone down I would want to make sure my plan is solid so that they cannot get away. Plus she owes him a life debt. To walk away when his life is hanging by a thread would be ungrateful and rude to everything him and his mother did for her. But that is how my brain works.
I should probably add that I am a pretty vengeful person when it comes to anyone messing with my family. So if we went to the extent that someone killed them all. By God you can bet I would be making sure that they all paid a VERY heavy price. I am aware of my faults 🤷‍♀️

Because he wasn't stripped of his title. Which in his own words, as long as he still has his title he can make a comeback

Trying to coma in Peace" ☠🤣

Ah, you never fail to be as repulsive in your comments as ever. @atom951

yeah. because when anybody talked with her in the past they had tragic fates. you can still be curious about someone and worry about them while at the same time being cautious.
And ONCE again pointing out for the stories sake- IF he walked up to her and talked with her (knowing that in the story he has had feeling all along) and he did not die....well then the plot would tank hard. 🤷‍♀️
I get what you are saying but I am also pointing out the fallicies given the plot.
