In addition to these fans, those who were not satisfied with the finale add fuel to this low rated flame. Both are equally capable of unfairly lowering the rating. Antis actors too

They are afraid of airing HYX. otherwise they would have. U know during the hot time, I saw a video of one big cosmetic comp group events who said in their conference they will pledge 100M marketing ads for HYX (wt HYX poster on the screen). They already had An Muxi, KFC and others line up. That supposed to be Tencent most profitable drama in 2021. If only Tencent is like Youku, didn't wait till WOH finished, they should just roll HYX at the same time and banks those $$$
Tencent is famous of being arrogant, Youku is famous of being always in the hurry.

Again, I want to write to show my appreciation to the ending.

I really feel this is the most acceptable ending for me. I tried to think of many different possible endings, but I realized this ending is the one I like the most.
I mean, how many of you have watched c drama (especially xianxia) which has showed how horrible the situation between the leads was...like they spend 98% of the episodes showing us misery and tragedy nonstop, creating super complicated problems, like really it seemed impossible to solve?
But then they used the remaining 2% to miraculously invented a solution to all miseries and suddenly our leads lived happily ever after? And just because we are happy to see our leads together we ignored the ridiculous miracles that suddenly saved our lead from death, or random reincarnation in mortal realm, or how suddenly a super god appeared and resolved all misunderstanding, or how a super villain suddenly repent and be good, or how suddenly a weak lead became super powerful and beat all the villain, or how suddenly there was a secret book or recipe to cure disease, or whatever bullshit just to make it happy ending?

Partial Eng. Sub fr Yesterday Live Broadcast. LYX talked abt him improving TTJ script, this is his signature acting since Runyu in 2018.

I have said many times, a great actor is above the script, above the director. LYX has always been able to tame down the “evil/villain/antagonist” characters (Runyu -AOL, ZZZ – Broker, ADG-TTJ – TTEOTM), because he does not settle with the director and script alone. And even when LYX got v little screen time such as Princes Silver-Rong Qi, total 100 min in 58 eps. It was Rong Qi that pp remembered and his Rong Qi data overwhelmed the ML+FL combined sev times higher. He won awards for 3rd ML which is unprecedented, usually only ML/FL sometimes 2nd ML/FL but never 3rd ML/FL. That’s a good actor and LYX is a great actor. Even with little screen time, LYX made use of every screen second with his acting prowess.

He made the script better. That’s how I judge a good actor or not, bad script is never an excuse.

26:29 - Don't just "use your eyes" to act
37:38 - Tantai Jin with a Sichuan dialect

IF ANYTHING I AM GLAD TTEOM SUCCESSFULLY FINISHED AIRING BEFORE ALL OF C-ENT GOT SHOOK BY RECENT EVENTS. 😮‍💨 🙌🏻

SOKP fell victim the other day, now Xiao Zhan’s drama which supposed to air today also got postponed. Yikes!

Youku reported that "The Blood of Youth" is one of their three certified explosive dramas for Q1 of 2023!!!.

I like A Familiar Stranger!

I feel like the comments section has become a TTJ aka LYX fan page lol And I’m loving it lol

I am acvyually happy there isnt a hapy ending cause this drama legit defied all cliches and set a whole new bar

Honestly, Lbfad's IQIYI CGI production & Ost are more impressive than Dylan & Ester acting and that's all. I still skipped it, as doesn't have strong intresting storyline. It's just a plain old fluffy romance. It have a happy ending (which is why it gets so much attention.)

Honesly, can't ignore the whole masterpiece for just an ending. If Youku rightly given the original happy ending like its novel then, any new dramas won't be able to compete. Tteotm, especially Luo yunxi & Bailu wonderful performances have raised up the bar high. Its amazing.

This is a perfect summary of what I think :) if something is more comedic and lighter it is an easier watch - LIS anyone? 😅

Hence we should just enjoy it for what it and hope more appreciate it too - and there will be genuine people who don't like it for what it is - doesn't make them an anti or hater. We all have our preference as well as right to vote how we please.
Ignore the rating!

As a side note - intense chemistry between leads in a love-hate relationship is rare...anyone know of similar in other dramas?

FL is not wishy washy or a damsel in distress. She is a strong character with upright values. Different from usual FL.

I agree with everything you said, it is not fair to compare to LBFAD. LBFAD’s story is way way way lighter, less complex.

This drama screams tragedy from the start. LBFAD didn’t have that “tragedy” feeling and even the angst wasn’t 0.1% as bad, the relationship with the leads is way different as well.

Agree. I understand and accept the ending. I took it pretty well even though I had wished for a happy ending. However I would like to have a proper ending. I feel that this is not my story so I do not wish to make a guess.
