Am I the only one who feels like the story is slow?
It's slow, yes, but with each episode we discover something more. (I enjoy watching the main couple's interaction develop.). (Although episode 20 was quite exciting.)
(About Sidneylandsam review): I find your review so thorough and enjoyable to read, but I will just make one aside: TY's moral compass remains intact, the demon in Yuan Zhong (not a demon race), which is different from the Western understanding of demons. It is a demonic, perverse heart, given over to evil. It is that dragon in the sea of consciousness that Yuan Zhong spoke of (I heard someone wants to devour me). The Chinese drama leans on both sides with the meaning of demon (there must be some different word that gets lost in translation) and so we think they are talking about the same thing.
In episode 22 it is actually the first time that Yuan Zhong stands in front of TY to save her. And here, twice. (He, with the divine hand, can even save a goddess).💞💞💞🔍🔍😎😎
I don't see him being mean to her. There is a distrust with reasonable grounds between them. Something that involves…
She is a super powerful goddess. He kind of realizes this. And takes it as a threat (somehow). In the sea of consciousness he saw her as a witch, she even made that comment to him. (Why does he see her like that?). This is more than a relationship between two ordinary people. It is a relationship between an immortal and a deity. Here, I see more sense in this treatment than in other dramas. I remember the scene when he was a teenager (he made 3 requests to the goddess. And she said she would grant one). It is this duality that I see. Human x deity, in their relationship. (Of course, we want the moment of total complicity and tenderness between them to arrive. But... that moment has not yet arrived.)
i’m enjoying this drama. the FL has such a good personality but i am getting tired of these consistent dramas…
I don't see him being mean to her. There is a distrust with reasonable grounds between them. Something that involves divinity/humanity, Past/present. Hurt, resentment, obsession. The mercy of the goddess/the obsession of the mortal/Immortal (fox priest).
maybe I missed something, but why is FL saving that demon guy?
She had saved him once before when he was at the innkeeper’s house, Liu Chen’s (weapon spirit) lover. There Tan Yin helped him get cured. And Tan Yin first met him on the tower ship when they accidentally bumped into each other, he was dressed in an elegant outfit. I think TY doesn’t know that he tried to kill YZ. But she has developed a fondness for him. They had talked once, sitting by the tree, and he asked TY if Yuan Zhong was injured if she would care about YZ. TY thought for a moment and said that she would definitely save YZ. Qianlin (war ghost) was a little thoughtful at that moment.
He is a character who first appeared in the drama "Love of a Thousand Years". He appears again here in "A Moment but Forever" and will appear again, along with Fox Priest (Yuan Znong) in the yet-to-be-aired drama "The Perfect Match". (These 3 dramas are part of the same universe created by the author of the 3 novels. PS: This character is a spirit of the Lamp of the Soul, created by Jin Tan Yin (goddess of crafts). He has become a person with personality and feelings. And he appears in these 3 dramas. Perhaps he recognizes Tan Yin, his creator.
I don't know if the drama will do anything different from the book or the anime. Because TY's line in the trailer:…
Ummm, as if he is hiding his true intentions. And the spiritual weapons, as they are very connected to him, know what is in his consciousness. (But I think Tan Yin also knows something). There is that moment when she says to an enemy, about Yuan Zhong. "He is a world-weary snake." When she said this, I noticed that Lin Chun looked at her meaningfully.
Does anyone know who the real identity of the high priest other than him having a the hand. He seems to be more…
I don't know if the drama will do anything different from the book or the anime. Because TY's line in the trailer: "I am the moon, you are the sun, forever shining in the sky together.", whether that might say something more about his identity (in the drama), I don't know. It could be that he ascends to immortality, as he said so much at the beginning of the drama that he would like to reach that stage. But the drama talks a lot about ascending to immortality, and those who, after ascending, may fall into obsession and become a demon. There is a key character in this drama who is this case. (Tan Yin is another case, but the book says that she had not yet completed all the tribulations that she was supposed to complete in the mortal world.)
Fu Duoduo drama is blessed 9 hours ago from Weibo Video Account#Liu Xueyi brought Yuan Zhong’s crazy sense of…
I think it is more like the path of the Buddha (in the drama), he needs to have virtue to ascend (like Jin Tan Yi ascended). In the book it is like that, that is why it requires going through a time of tribulations, enduring divine thunder and lightning. The basis of suffering, and enduring it resignedly. So, in terms of virtue. For example, Meishajun is about to become a deity, but this has not happened yet because the gates of the heavenly dimension have been closed. And the key phrase of the drama: "One thought you become a god, one thought you become a demon". And the part where Yuan Zhong does not let himself be devoured by the dragon demon in his "palace of consciousness". Again it talks about virtue. And when Yuan Zhong, on the tower ship, for a moment almost lets all the people on the ship die, and then, at the last moment, decides to save them. Again, virtue is the key point here. YZ is at this crossroads (of these two paths). If the Dao as you say has nothing to do with virtue. In the drama it has to do. And don't forget he is the "high priest", fox priest. (at least in the drama, this is key).
Shhh Keep quiet before the production company gets sue by Marvel 😂 at least wait until the drama finish lol
The original novel is very short. There is the divine hand, its power, and Yuan Zhong's use of it to save the clan in the plot, but the rest of the plot was created by the drama's writers. The book is from 1998, and this reuse is not entirely reuse, there is room for this creation in the plot. (Yes, I think these lawsuits are a pointless exaggeration, they only prevent a work of art from being transmitted properly and other works from coming to light.)

But, you need to let the commercial play first.
