i think there's a stark contrast between fanyue and chenyu for this reason. they both are powerful and seemingly ruthless demon kings, but we've been able to see fanyue develop compassion for baishuo, unlike chenyu who treats his underlings like crap even if they've done so much for him. it's probably the shows way of conveying that there are good and bad eternals as well as good and bad demons. no one is born inherently evil or good because of their affiliation

i prefer this over dramas that try to recruit 20+ people to act out these immortal/demon groups even if some of them cant act, but the cold spring palace does look very empty with 3 people 👁️

i would say go ahead, ive watched ALP and TLI and MM while treating them as separate stories. they work fine standalone

i know the shiny part is from cgi but it can def be recreated with pvc light material or something ahhh

i should move to europe so that the episodes would air for me during the day

it's a bit thrilling to see the costumes you once so in reuters appear in the official drama 😻the wait has paid off, fox costumes are siiiiick

which website do you read subs from? i noticed that after switching apps/websites the subs seem to differ sometimes so it can be confusing

idk if it's that many people but i was just comment lurking and saw a bunch, i think it's sad to see such a good relationship go to waste, platonic or not, so people naturally will feel angry towards one side or the other. based on douyin posts and all that it seems like there are scenes where they all reconcile and travel together so im waiting for that🫠

unpopular opinion but SML isn’t that annoying 🫢 like it’s all down to your personal tastes but i feel like he has it rough too. he’s having a hard time breaking his ties with baishuo because he actually cared about their engagement while she saw no value in it. she has her mind driven by revenge while he’s chasing after his losses. i pity him every time he has to stare at fan yue and bai shuo’s budding relationship 😆 he’s the typical 白月光 character, the pure justice fighter who loses in the love triangle, so maybe people aren’t used to

i think it’s just the lanling sect that’s broke, the other sects seem to have cool uniforms 👁️

at 1:19, guy who looks angry is Rong Xian saying he'll avenge ling long and the child, other two are Cheng Hong Xin playing Mu Jiu (from fox clan) and Zhang Cheng Lang (who is not listed in cast and idk why)

0:43 -> Quan Yi Lun plays Rong Xian (kunlun head), Pan Jun Ya plays Ling Long (fox clan saintess)

i felt that way about eps 7 and 9, i feel like it's a timing thing too

im sure there's more to tian huo's past but i still feel bad for the box of cakes that were endlessly kicked and smashed 🫠

ep 9 is full of triangle scenes, i need to pause bc i can feel the tension through the screen 😭why cant the three of them just hug it out and dance in a circle

everytime i see the dramatic vertical camera pans, the eye to eye shots, and notably the blinding lights, im reminded of sokp loool, directer zhu's signatures

havent seen him appear in the story yet, maybe im face blind?

i think a majority of watchers find the flow very fast? backstory, then people riot, city falls, move to new palace, learn magic from turtle, now a martial arts contest, soon a new fox arc, i feel like it's steady, but maybe some people prefer more action. i dont think the ml is the missing point, perhaps it's the music. my only complaint about the show so far is sometimes the ost feels unsuitable. a very emotional scene can have diminished effect's if the music doesn't match? hope you'll find enjoyment soon!

there are on weibo but only in chinese sub if you can understand https://video.weibo.com/show?fid=1034:5120967350091803

ohhhh i dont think you should delete this at all, you're right that there's no justification for a crime like that. i only mentioned fanwars bc a lot of drama comment sections have been bonkers recently. thanks for the context and i hope to watch more soon!
