That's how short dramas are. They are the craze now. But I would caution with this one, UTP prevailed bc of the onscreen cp from the leads, not the plot. It's a known fact.

UTP to be remade in to a short drama with 1-2min ep each for 65 eps

I feel like these days great fighting scenes lack their own flavour. There's nothing much going with the fighting scenes. It's very windy in that drama, there's always wind blowing haha

They keep mentioning fl’s aunt that I’m more interested in her story than fl’s. They keep introducing new characters from diff sectors that it’s hard to differentiate and catch up. The ml is a mystery so that’s the only thing keeping me and to see ml go crazy for fl

I doubt anyone actually watches the whole 4-6hrs of the Spring Festival Galas, given there's so many as well. I feel like people end of picking and choosing. Well, I shouldn't generalize, but I for sure will be watching ss' and then a couple of the artisits I like and that's about it.

I believe this is the official line up. So SS is collaborating with Luo and Reba of the same act, but doing different roles. Luo and SS, among others are the singers, and Reba will be performing the dance. SS did mention her act has many different things happening, not just singing.

I have a pretty good feeling Luo for sure collaborating with SS. As for the others idk, cuz the names kept changing except for Luo. We will find out tmr haha.

Spring Festival Directory is out lising the celebs and songs. I see SS, Luoyunxi, Lusi, Dylan Wang and JJY performing together. Exciting, never seen SS perform together in a group of these artists before. Except interacted with Luo and Dylan.

Hy was a human initially and dragon xy transferred her powers to him. Along with thousands of years of cultivation he successfully hid his human aura/smell. But, I think he’s still half human half demon, just like xy. So with that in mind, he can time travel without losing his memories. So he did meet xy when she time travels back to the beginning when they first met in her 3rd life. 4th life is when they both meet at the right time with all their memories. With their memories intact they can prevent a lot of disasters and save a lot of lives.

I’ve watched an episode of the anime And I think these two leads are perfect choices

I am very excited for this. In a drama drought and I know this will cure it.

Lol, you have a weak stomach. I was eating cake while I watched it.

You just described the fl here. Her tan skin, chapped lips and messy hair.

which ep is where YZ's character go on a shooting rampage? I want to see that.

They really do! Under better conditions, TUS would've achieved higher results. But, likewise, under these adverse conditions, TUS has really shown us that it's an amazing drama, like fine wine.

Surprised (in a good way) that TUS is No. 4 on the DataWin TV Drama Popularity Index. With winter break / CNY approaching, seems like students and workers has the opportunity to watch TUS. As well, TUS has strong rewatch value, many viewers are revisiting it to better understand the plot and catch hidden details and foreshadowing. I'm doing the same.

My post was based on the 1/15/2026 chart that has been circulating across multiple Chinese platforms over the past few days, so the data was accurate for that date. Updated statistics don’t make that “delusional,” but I acknowledge that newer Yunhe numbers.

I’m not bringing down HMH in any way, nor was that the intention. I actually admire him as a well-rounded artist, especially given what he experienced earlier in his career. My post was simply meant to highlight how The Unclouded Soul performed well despite objectively unfavorable airing conditions and lack of promotion.

I shared this on SS’s fanpage to discuss TUS with fellow SS fans, not on hmh's fanpage or Glory's page. The core point remains unchanged: The Unclouded Soul was not given a fair promotional or scheduling opportunity from day one, yet still delivered strong results. That speaks to the drama’s appeal and audience reach.

Multiple dramas can perform well at the same time. At no point did I say Glory performed poorly or speak negatively about HMH.

TUS finished airing after 20 days an is no.4 on TV Drama Popularity Index 1.40-Dated 1/28/2026 https://mydramalist.com/photos/VXyvWm_3

I have a question, when HY was first woken up in his third life (ep 1), it was mentioned that the Spring would help him recover power. But, throughout the drama, seemed like his power recovered and didn't need the spring. He just spent time cultivating to regain strength/power.

Interesting, that's another perspective onlook.

I’m truly grateful for you writing this review. It resonated with me deeply, because it captured exactly how I felt about this drama. I’ve watched countless fantasy, xianxia, and period dramas over the past few decades, but TUS is the only one that left me with such a lasting, thought-provoking aftereffect. Even now, I find myself reflecting on the plot and its deeper meaning, and I’m already planning a rewatch.

As I continued to think about the ending, I came to realize that XY ultimately did not live up to her name. Driven by her longing for HY, she chose to dwell in the past, time-traveling into her memories rather than moving forward. Instead of becoming truly xiaoyao (unbound by desire, regret, and attachment) she remained tethered to them. And perhaps that, in itself, is the quiet tragedy and beauty of the story. It's a HE that they reunite again in their 4th lifetime, but also quite sad.
