asphyxia

oh also I do still feel like it's a shame bc the ZSX BL episode was filmed 5/8 but the phoenix one was filmed 5/10, so it's airing out of order 😖I assume they didn't expect Feud to air so early, thus they arranged that ep to air later to coincide with Feud's schedule, unlucky uss

link to what? you mean ZSX and BL episode for keep running? that'll most likely air in the next few weeks, since the next episode is already set to be the phoenix one (mianly main cast, ZSX only guest stars for the other episode)

the livestream did feed me very well tho 😋did you see the dances and the hand grab scene??? my jaw literally dropped and could not close back up

im scared for cheng yi x bai lu collab, they'll be burning through bathtubs of blood just to film one scene 😅

I think this is in response to my comment? I didn't get the @ but can you elaborate on "her"? like you're trying to ask me why I feel sorry for Ling Er right? but I'm also confused bc the second part of your text seems to support Ling Er's decision. maybe I'm just tired but my brain cogs are not spinning 🥲

timestamp 2:26:41 is where they start the trailer for the phoenix episode, and top right corner displays "6/13, next friday". this is where they always insert the preview for the following episode. the part of BL and ZSX in the credits was inserted bc the episode happened to air on Feud's release date, so KR was helping them promote it. I would hope for schedule flexibility, but it airs on ZJSTV so schedules are quite rigid 😅

fan jiaojiao cares less about power and safety than her daughter believes him to, but she isn't wrong for highlighting his neglect for family due to his role. there's either gonna be a heartwarming reconciliation or a tragic death of father or daughter that'll make the other regret not being closer 😅

so I did try to read all of this, but I'm not sure if I understood everything because the sentences were a bit long 😅from what I understood, you highlight the clear gap btwn ZSX & BL's popularity on this page. It would feel unfair for his fans, but this inevitably happens for many dramas. EX. many people watched Legend of Zang Hai for Xiao Zhan, so they'll naturally talk about him more. I don't see anyone intentionally discrediting or hating on ZSX's acting, in fact, he's quite well praised on weibo. BL has like ~27mil followers there while ZSX has ~25mil, so he's still quite well supported in mainland China. I'm actually a fan of side characters like Ling Er and Meng Chang Qin who try to break out of repetitive xianxia tropes. Ling Er didn't throw away her goals for a man, unlike how many xianxia dramas have 10000+ girls lined up drooling over a "heavenly lord" simply bc he just has a blank face every day. Chang Qin actually questions blind faith and praise while taking action for the people; he even rejected the promise of "prosperity" from HRY because he could never truly dim out his ambition. Both of these two could have easily been written into love rivals of the main leads, but they truly broke the mold here. a lousy "side character" plot/script can often break a drama, and I think that happened with MM. I promise the fox clan / rock village / god realm arcs were interesting, but if they draw too much attention from the leads or just add confusion to the audience, people lose interest in the show. I know many would prefer that heroic / adventure type story arc, but I actually find Feud's cast the most appealing. I appreciate this drama so much bc of the discussions it provokes, whereas a lot of comment sections on MDL are just "OHHH F*CK THAT SIDE B*TCH FOR STEALING THE FEMALE LEAD'S MAN" or "UGHH THE MOTHER IN LAW IS SO EVIL". I feel like a drama that makes people actually use their brains is much more refreshing 💕💘

in the livestream, bai lu says that they reviewed many voice actors to see who would fit the LQY/HRY role, and the "power-sealing scene" with the touching tears was what "earned" liu xiao yu the voice actor role. each VA was reviewed thoroughly to ensure they would be able to deliver the proper emotions, and I feel like they deserve better recognition bc most people dismiss their efforts 😖😖

oh I thought the KR episode would be the phoenix one (no ZSX) because it was in the preview trailer in last friday's episode, but im not sure if they're also able to switch around episode order to help promote the show? would hope so 🫶

yesss i need both eps to come out this week so i can warm my heart after angsty episodes, but ik they'll take some time to air 😖

in the cast livestream, bai lu explains that the angst and turns will continue, but the smart audience has already gotten close with their theories 😂also there are over 10 million livestream viewers which is crazy

currently watching the livestream, literally sooooo good and im just eating🍉

weibo promo vids & trailers & messages from the producer often leak these small details, hasn't officially appeared in story. mentioned this bc people were confused about how BJS was holding a kid that died

I think people are confusing the children with each other lol. The one we see BJS holding with the little blue hat is not their official child, but a child they take in out of pity (in the present timeline). Shi An is their biological child but unfortunately died centuries ago, BJS only learns of their child's existence after he revisits past events

Much has been left unrevealed for now, after all we've only seen HRY's flashback past relating to her entanglements with BJS. However, having three dharma lords is not something that magically comes with their status; those three call BJS master because he intentionally took them in as disciples. Later on we'll see Siling have the "omniscient view", which I believe is when more of her role is revealed.

i think his role in perfect match helped me view him in a non-villain light 😂

frame story: narrative structure where a story is told around another story or stories, providing context, meaning, or an alternate perspective to the main story (adds depth and complexity to the narrative)

this is 99% confirmed 🫶🫶only bc yuzheng loves sneaking in leaks and whatnot

in my opinion, he wants BJS to personally take responsibility for HRY bc after all like she said, there are many things in the mortal world that the heaven's immortals will never interfere with bc they must adhere to their rules. the xuan tian envoy doesn't visit them every day, and HRY is seen out of the dwelling quite often trying to save mortals, so it's quite plausible for the envoy to only meet w BJS. I do agree w the fact that he's one of the future villains; the strict rule followers always end up being revealed as the baddies 😖
