Thank you for the clarification. I have Tencent Video VIP via YouTube and pay through YT as well. I normally have full access to the popular dramas, such as "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy" while it's airing but not this time. Luckily iQIYI saves me from falling into desperation.

I'm in the U.S. I find it on iQIYI but not on WeTV and I have VIP membership on both. How do you find it on WeTV? I was quite upset since I paid for the membership but luckily iQIYI has it.

I have a VIP membership on both iQIYI and WeTV in the U.S. Somehow, I can't find it on WeTV so I'm watching it on iQIYI and so glad iQIYI has it. I prefer iQIYI over WeTV anyway.

That's why I don't read the novel before the drama this time. I read "The Double" and "Kill Me, Love Me" before the drama and I couldn't watch the dramas after the first few episodes. Nowadays, the adaption is far from the novel, unfortunately. I don't mind the adaption astray from the source material as long as it's logical or better. Luckily, I haven't read this novel so I didn't come to the drama with anticipation. So far, for me I have enjoyed the drama very much and it has a hook on me. Definitely I'll read the novel after the drama is complete or early if the plot becomes unreasonable.

Not even the popular ones like "The Double", "Kill Me, Love Me" or "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy"?

I was thinking the same about that child actor, so handsome and a great young actor. I was wondering to myself if he'll be like Wu Lei while growing up and afterwards.

Always find ZYC under-rated. Some new and younger actors are not much better than him yet they constantly get a lot of attention on their dramas and themselves.

I like all the actors in the drama except Fan Cheng Cheng whose acting is so so. In the novel Tu Nan is rather quiet and complex and deep with his emotions but smart and cautious. I think his poor acting brings down his counterpart character, Li Jia. The moment Wang Anyu enters the scene, he outshines Fan Cheng Cheng, as Wang carries the aura of the ML. Wang Angyu is excellent here and the same as all the seasoned actors.

Yes, he's the shaved head monk. Before watching the drama, I thought the monk was a woman, too nice looking! That's LXY's breakthrough drama!
Haven't watched LBFAD even though it's very popular. Xianxia isn't my cup of tea, Wuxia is.
By the way, I dropped In Blossom too after the first two episodes. Went back for LWY a couple more times but I just couldn't continue. I wish the production team stayed with Zheng He Hui Zi as the FL for the entire drama. Zheng He Hui Zi although is a good actor but like LXY was before has problem to get main roles.

LXY is an eye candy alright and he's at his best when playing a "grey" character. If you can stomach the female lead's acting (after ep 2) in "In Blossom", you will enjoy him very much. He's just too much to the eyes, handsome! And he's the most nice looking guy even with a bald head in "The Blood of Youth". Before 2020, he mostly played a second fiddle to many younger idol actors, now he's gaining popularity so getting more main roles and also getting FL who actually can act! "In Blossom", his talent and good look are so wasted because his FL is awful!

The drama drags a little bit too long. I guess they want to cash in as much they can.

Because Liu Mian Tang didn't want it. What she did for ZiYu was because she appreciated him and she was willing to do it for him. In her mind, they didn't owe each other. She wanted a clean part away from him. Besides, she was a super business woman and she believed in her ability to run the family business. ZiYu actually understood LMT very well and if he had insisted on rewarding her, she would consider it as an insult to her and their past together.

Thank you

Where do you get ep 17?
I can only access ep 16 today on WeTV, ep 17 is unavailable, hidden.

His eyes were very pretty, big and pure looking, in "the Story of Yanxi Palace"

Youku produces "The Double" so Youku releases the drama first then Viki (buys the copyright from Youku) releases them slightly behind Youku. Meanwhile, Youku put the drama slowly on YouTube, one epi Monday - Friday, except Sat. and Sun.

Netflix has the EXCLUSIVELY copyright for "The Double" but only after all the drama been released by Youku on Youku and Viki. So after all the drama are released on Youku but only a partial eps of series on YouTube then that's all the drama are available on YouTube, no more new release because the copy right belongs to, in this case, Netflix. If the drama is not so popular or the copyright not been bought by stream platforms, such as Netflix, HBO Max and etc., the producers such as Youku or Tencent will continue upload the rest of drama on YouTube because there are still profits made from the ads on YouTube but not as much of the profit as the sale of copyright.
I bet you can't find most of C-drama or any K-drama currently on Netflix on any other stream platforms including YouTube. I can only find the first two eps of "Princess Royal" on YouTube because Netflix has the copyright now. Just like you cannot find "Scent of Time" on YouTube or anywhere except some pirate websites because HBO Max owns the copyright.

No, it won't because now the Netflix owns the copyright.

Total understandable

So you watch the drama in Chinese Mandarin while reading Thai subtitle?

Be honest, I don't feel the dubbing in this drama is good and the voices seem off most of time. But again, I'm for the plot so I try to over-look the weirdness in dubbing .

I am not familiar with the Thai dubbing practice for c-drama so I cannot even imagine how it should sound. But in general, the period/historical c-dramas are dubbed except a few actors/actresses are good at delivering their own lines, one example, Wang Xing Yue used his own voice in "The Double" along with other six actors. However, Wu Jin Yan used a voice actor for her lines. In "Scent of Time", Wang Xing Yue also used his own voce. He is that good so he is confident in delivering his own lines.
