I didn't know there was a special episode. Thanks.

I still have about 9 episodes left.

I'm glad I missed it.

Haven't finished the drama yet, but I agree with you. I really like what Pei Si Jing said to Wen Xiao in Episode 17 (I think). She said Wen Xiao is like a rock or a branch for the falling Zhu Yan. It shows how apparent it is to those around them that holding on to her is what's keeping him sane and grounded. It's that same episode where we're finally shown just how much pain he's actually in. Before that we're all aware of his desire to end his life, but the pain he carries is not shown outright. Wen Xiao is the first light for him after that horrible blood moon incident. Afterwards he also gained other friends and their relationship is also strong and moving, but Wen Xiao will always be that little bit more special.

I didn't realize she hates a particular cast member.

Thanks for the explanation. I guess I'm a little lost, seeing as I wasn't around for those exchanges. This is definitely not the only page where fans linger. I also usually linger for a while to discuss dramas myself as I like exchanging opinions about dramas. It enhances the experience to see other people's point of view.

That's a shame. I really like discussing dramas.

There were actual insults and curses? Looks like things really went too far.

Thanks for the warning.
I'm not entirely sure why this would cause anger. The fact that we're thinking about this drama obviously shows we're enjoying it. That should please the fans rather than anger them.

Her eyes didn't glow before the sun dial started glowing. You should go back and rewatch the scene. Also, when she uses the Golden Eyes, they clearly look different, because the actress has lenses in her eyes. It's not the same as reflection from golden light. From what we have seen in the drama, she can't activate her Golden Eyes without the token, regardless of whether the token is what granted her this power in the first place. Also, as far as the drama has shown, she can't activate and use any of her baize powers without the token.

Not having watched this drama as it was airing, I seem to have missed some interesting conversations in this comment section.

Merry Christmas! Mayhem seems like the right word.

Merry Christmas ! He's welcome to stay as long as he likes 🤣

Well, it's true they should have been grateful to both WX and ZYZ, but their sentiments aren't exactly misplaced. Humans have a prejudice against demons and they are hunted and killed even if they are harmless. Understandably, they will be weary of any human.

Moreover, the Baize Goddess is like a guard to their prison. Every time they want to visit the mortal realm, they need permission and they need to be stamped with the token so they can't use their powers or show their true appearance. Obviously, this is necessary, given that some demons are very dangerous, even without meaning to be (like Fei) or really powerful and bloodthirsty. But it's always easier to dislike rules, even if they are put in place for a reason and that dislike manifests into disliking the person enforcing those rules, because it's easy to hate a person rather than an intangible thing.

I thought I missed that so I went back to check and I don't think that's true. Her eyes did glow, but it's not the same. It was just the reflection of the light from the sun dial. Ying Lei's eyes are also shown to reflect the light and glow.

After the Baize token is broken, she's not shown to have used any of her powers not only the ones directly linked to the token's music. Logically, her having powers even without the token doesn't make sense. Especially since if that was the case, there's no need for the token in the first place. Or more precisely, the token wouldn't be as important.

Also, as far as I remember the reason no one was able to help them get out except for her before was because the sun dial was under the power of Cheng Huang. He basically controlled everything including who was allowed in and out. This time around, they were the ones in the possession and control of the sun dial, so they controlled who went in and out.

Sunny's explanation above mentions that Baize Goddesses have a longer lifespan comparable to demons, although this hasn't really been mentioned in the drama so far (I'm only on episode 25), which is why I was confused as everyone always keeps mentioning she's a mere mortal and shouldn't be meddling with the Wilderness.

A longer lifespan for the Baize Goddess does make sense, but as this is unexplained and we're unaware of the rules regarding the powers the Baize Goddess gets and what it all means, there are some confusing moments.

That seems more sad than anything. Without the token, she can't carry out her duties, because she doesn't have any powers of her own. So she ends up with a longer lifespan, but she's basically useless as a Goddess. That's a painful life.

That does make sense, however the Baize token at that point in time is broken and without it, she doesn't have any power.
So are we to assume that even without the token, she retains her longer lifespan? Logically, her longer lifespan is a gift given to the Baize Goddess to help maintain order in the Wilderness. It's given to her by the power of the Baize token. If she no longer has the token/the token is broken, she should no longer have any powers associated with the token right?

I may be overthinking.

Thank you for the explanation.

Not sure if this is a plot hole or has an actual explanation. I'm on episode 22 now and Wen Xiao went into the sun dial to have the tree grow for 300 years, so they can have a branch to fix the broken Baize token. This is supposedly possible, because time flows differently in the sun dial and 300 years there is merely hours in the real world. Makes sense so far. What doesn't make sense is that the tree can grow, but Wen Xiao doesn't age. She's not immortal, so she's subject to time. If the tree can grow and change, shouldn't she also age and die in those 300 years?

If this is a plot hole, it could have been easily solved by having Ying Lei go instead. 300 years for him wouldn't make much of a physical difference.

If there is an explanation, I would like to know.

It's on may list after I finish FOF. At the rate I'm going, I'll probably start Blossom on Friday.

I think it's a bit too late to have no expectations now. I heard too much praise for this drama. Although, high expectation rarely ruin a drama for me. Especially if the praise is deserved.
