cilly

she did visit his bedside. after he wakes up, there's a brief cut to her standing outside of his room

they really deceived us with that trailer. not only that, I was expecting something more intricate plot-wise, but they're just... telling us everything lol, there is no intrigue, there are no twists, nothing. the most "intricate" thing in this drama is us trying to decipher the inconsistencies in the characters because the writing is questionable 😅 good drama for people who like romance, but I personally can't even buy into that.

definitely, I really love her sarcastic remarks in ep 3 😭

I can't lie, I hated her character so much in TTEOTM that it lowkey bled into my opinion of her LMAOO 😭😭 I'm keeping an open mind though, I believe she will convince me to change 😔🙏

10,000+ heat index on iQiyi is usually where its doing really well. 7,500 seems pretty good for first day

you are so right 😔

I skimmed the novel, drama ending is much better lol. in the novel ending, ML didn't even know that she died 😭

he went back to the sword sect. later on, ML's master mentions going to the apothecary valley, and then he casually says like "oh FL is dead, her master took over again". and then obviously ML is sad, but I don't think he actually goes to visit her grave until a few months later

iQiyi did the same thing with Snowy Night Timeless Love, we had a weird gap in between 😔 maybe bc both dramas have a lower episode count so they're trying to milk it more

her character was never anything special 😭 they just used her for romantic angst for both ML & CP

this drama was kinda going downhill for me since the last several episodes, but I think that was the final nail in the coffin 😭 I'm already committed tho so I will force myself to finish it 😤

then don't worry about it, just enjoy the journey

in my opinion, there is no reason to be so afraid of bad/sad endings 😔 as long as they're done well, they can be even more impactful than a happy one

my vague impression right now is that, the lighthearted beginning episodes could be the "dream", aka a time of apparent happiness for everyone (though worth noting that we don't yet know ZYZ's real temperament or motives) but then something will happen to force them all to 'wake up' from that "dream", which is where the promised angst will come in. anyway we've only had three episodes so I'm just bullshitting a little bit, but thought it might be worth sharing. 😄

for those worried about the comedy & general lightheartedness, remember the emphasis the trailers, lyrics, etc placed on the concept of "dreaming" 👀

I agree, based on some other angsty xuanhuan/xianxia dramas I've watched, I think it's pretty common for them to start off on a lighter note, so that's not something I'm worried about yet. I actually am enjoying the comedy so far, which I usually don't in cdramas LOL

I love the little doctor!! 😭 I'm especially impressed with his line delivery

this is my second drama of hers playing a bigger role, first one being TTEOTM. she left such an impression on me that my negative feelings are still carrying over from that drama LMAOO, omg I hope it goes away 🤣😭

34 is the official number

I think many people didn't really understand the way they communicated and took the things FL said too literally lol

it's too early for news about it. if I had to guess, going by the current schedule, maybe oct. 30th or 31st.
