asphyxia

many people were saying fangyin's death was unnecessary, which is an overstatement bc not wanting a morally upright character to die is different than totally hating her end. i also believe it was meant to be tragic; the fall of one who was loyal to death

kisskh,co

in the novel it was reincarnation but it's a censorship ban topic in china so they made her a writer changing a script's writing

this is an interesting question lol, main 5 (xuening xiewei yanlin zhangzhe princess all live) cui shaoyang lives, empress dowager xue lives, youfangyin & emperor shen lang pass away

i forgot who but there were a few users who wanted the sweet piano interlude for weining

after killing xue family, he felt that he had achieved his goal of revenge and had nothing left to pursue. he killed himself

post-ceremony scream night

imo scream night best actor/actress reflects popularity the best, it was given to wanghedi /bailu this year who both topped weibo character popularity charts this year

"favorite actor/actress" "most charming actor/actress" "biggest breakthrough actor/actress" "youth leap actor/actress" "actor/actress of the year" "best actor/actress of scream night" "actor/actress who attracted the most attention" are the translations for some of the awards, there's no highest awards but you can tell they're just tryna cover more ground with the awards. youku, tencent, and iqiyi all have their own awards nights that are more of a celebration than a competition. it's honorable to recieve these awards but they hold less value than official drama awards that expand beyond iqiyi productions.

not sure if this needs a blood warning so i won’t add it to gallery, but here’s youfangyin actress selfie after her characters death

for reference yang mi won "actress who attracted audience's attention" even though her iqiyi drama hasn't released yet. not to denounce her merits but you can tell some awards are just repetitive lol

this is how many awards there are, just for reference, and they avoid repeats bc they try to make every actor/actress that has reached popularity to be mentioned
for example, love is sweet was explosively popular in 2020 but not all of the actor/actress awards can go to a few people, they spread it out intentionally

there were more like the cast dancing together, posing for pics, playing with decorations but the ZLH x BL hashatag is blowing up on weibo after scream night so i cant find all of the posts i saw last night 😂

Bailu won 尖叫女演员 “scream night actress”, zhanglinghe won 青春飞跃男演员 “new actor award”, SOKP won overall fan favorite drama award

sexy vampire?? everyone's entitled to their own opinion but sometimes people support a delirious ML just because his character's hot. she can foretell the future only to some extent bc the new timeline has already been changed, she has no guarantee in turning fate for those who died in the past even if she puts her best effort, that's the tragic aspect of the show; no amount of hope can save one from an inevitable death. she was clearly grieved over zhangzhe's loss, but in a later episode he even thanks her saying her harsh words were well needed to bring him back to investigate important political matters. she's crying cause his literal mother passed away, sucking it up and doing it has no clear result.

the more impactful a show is the more empty i feel post-watch 😭 my condolences to whatever drama i watch next bc it'll pale in comparison to SOKp

ITS REACHED 8.8 🙏 🙏 SORRY FOR DOUBTING, completed rating is rising steadily

let’s hope SOKP wins awards at iQiyi scream night 💗💗
