anyone know the writer? this story was more creative than most, curious to see future works from them.

This all sounds familiar. I remember feeling similarly about the female lead but can't quite remember why, may have had to do with my personal feelings about her choices. But your summary is making me think about a rewatch at some point. Hope you've found something interesting since.

If you're so inclined, would be curious to know how you find Secrets of the Shadow Sect. Please manage your expectations! It has all the usual short falls of a short drama. I've watched Wonderland of Love and remember liking it more than expected at first but being disappointed by something by the end, can't quite remember which part. I think it had something to do with the decisions the FL lead made, might have contributed to some of the side characters getting killed? My memory is very fuzzy. But I think I remember appreciating the ML's conflict of not wanting to rule but the FL wanting him to take on the responsibility. Now that you remind me, that was kinda similar to DandD (if my faulty memory can be trusted).

Had to look up what doki doki is. Thank you, I learned something new today

couldn't agree more. there are many things that I liked about this drama, and the way desire is portrayed is definitely one of them. Particularly liked how they played with the power dynamic between the leads. I was trying to think of dramas that do something similar and honestly can't come up with any. The short dramas do seem to get more leeway for intimacy, but very few of them do it well. I remember liking Secrets of the Shadow Sect, but I still don't think it came anywhere near this one in terms of quality.

I keep coming back to this page because I miss this exact balance. Wondering how long itll be before we get another show that strikes this chord. I'm enjoying The Prisoner of Beauty now, but I liked DandD better honestly.

Thank you so much for these subs. Now I love gu yi and zhou yue too!

that would be quite the debut! makes me even more curious to know who they are. bless their heart either way

I'm talking about the drama Dominion and Devotion that recently completed which is directed by the same director as here.

Agreed. Hoping that some kind soul will add the scriptwriter to the credits. And that this writer keeps creating things like this.

i'm so late, but needed to come back and thank you for your reply! it is very satisfying to know the differences between the drama and novel. on my last rewatch I finished feeling like I was missing something, and your reply eased that away. and can't agree more, my girl is a rare find in how strong and competent she is, i love her so much! and the intelligent but physically weak man that loves her. anyways, i hope you're having a blessed day.

yes!

not me obsessed with dominion and devotion, only to find out she also out here doing GLs. save us sis, we need you.

after dominion and devotion, imma have to see what else this director got in the pocket. cause DaD rocked me (in a good way).

She rocked her role in Dominion and Devotion, can't wait to see what she does next. Would the gods bless us with more gender bending characters for her, please?

this hit the spot more than anything has in a minute. putting prayers out that we get more like this.

also huang hao yue and li ge yang now have my loyalty. there were both hot as hell in this, and the acting was on point.

Heavy agree. Can't stand seeing even the acronym.

does anyone know if the opening them song exists on its own somewhere? it sounds a bit different than the song Camino from the OST (or OHS lol). need me some of that calming, wordless music in my life

also has anyone done a color analysis of this drama? The way Pinjing's blues feel so deliberate in contrast to the yellow (or orange?) and red of Changlin's banner, and very much present in Pingzhan's customs as well as Tingsheng's deep coppers and browns. Would like to read all the things about it

second time around and this drama still makes me cry and cry. i have so much love for so many of these characters.
