Toxic but completely understandable. That's probably why the mom character is so hateful. You can't abandon your child (yes, not on purpose, but still) for 15 years then think you know how horrible her character is after 3-4 days of observing her.

I'm hoping the mom gets better as the story progresses.

Oh! Totally didn't know that! Thanks for the info!

Is this the new format of Chinese dramas? Splitting it into 2 parts to both pass censorship restrictions and yet still maintain a longer episode count?

Personal opinion, but this drama (after watching the 6 episodes aired) gives me Story of Ming Lan vibes. I find myself not really caring for the political parts of the drama (Wu Lei's parts so far) and instead am captivated by the family dynamics going on in Niao Niao's family.

I can't wait until we meet the eldest brother!

So many exciting xianxia dramas coming the latter half of 2022-early 2023!!

40 episodes could be a good thing. It would mean little to no room for the storyline to drag or for filler episodes.

According to the novel summary, she retains her memories...so does she start off being petty or something?

With the number of potentially great dramas coming out, my TBR shelf of web novels is expanding too quickly!

For novel readers. is the drama drastically different from its source material?
I kind of want to read it since the drama editing and ending left a lot to be desired but if it was drastically changed, then I probably won't.

It seems as if the communication was lost between Min Woo and Hari. They obviously both liked each other yet never tread past the line of friendship. While the missed time is forlorn due to the "what could've been"..it isn't right that Min Woo dated/is dating yet is becoming jealous at the thought that Hari could be dating as well.
And just the way he was unintentionally insulting her to Tae Moo when he was questioning why Tae Moo was "dating a girl like Hari" was such a figurative slap in the face. How can he like Hari yet speak of her in such low terms in front of her "boyfriend."

The smartest thing k-dramas on Netflix has done is shorten their length. This drama is fluff so it really doesn't have enough to stretch to 16 episodes.

In the trailer it looks like he jumped after her when willingly fell into the void. Was his human incarnation undergoing a heavenly trial or something?

Random question but with dramas staying in limbo for so long, do actors/actresses get paid regardless of whether their dramas air?

Well, damn. That's quite a shallow reason to reject someone. He definitely wasn't worth her time then.

Thanks for the info! I'm super curious since it's Cheng Yi but it doesn't seem like a novel I would read.

Cheng Yi and Yu Xi are becoming the next Dilireba and Zhang Bin Bin. They are costarring a little too often and on back-to-back dramas.

When I watch Xianxia dramas, I stubbornly expect a happy ending lol
It has the help of magic, eternal life, and reincarnation. Basically 3 crutches that help the genre make a happy ending possible despite all odds.

Oh, I was hoping it was a misunderstanding...but Ying Yuan purposely lied? Did he think Yan Dan wasn't good enough to be his bride?

I'm willing to bet that the drama ending was changed to make Cheng Yi's character the endgame. It's H&R so I highly doubt they would've casted Cheng Yi otherwise.

Why did Zhi Xi lie? Did they not have a good sibling relationship? Did she like Ying Yuan too? Or did she want the title that came with marrying him?
