In the history of xianxia, I've never seen a bad guy (who wasn't an antihero) being treated that way especially by a FL. Absolutely no fear in her when he's like "I control your life from now on, can take it anytime"..

I think what he actually did was replaced the heart protection scale with his dark aura to extend YH's life. Without it, she still dies. Not really saving but just another 'puppet' to be

That actually makes more sense. He went to battle thinking he would die so if he expected to live to come back and save YH, it wouldn't make sense. Then the urgency to find her in the 3 days is not really to save YH but to save himself because if she were to die, then he would die in her place. This likely sets up to the epic scene of where YH gets punished by her master and that punishment would of killed her but because of what TY did to exchange his life, he dies in her place. Oh the angst..

I actually don't think SY is dead. Her body remains in tack but frozen. I've seen one of the trailer clips that she was present when YH gets tied up by her master and about to receive the fatal punishment. There is also another showdown to come between TY, YH and SY. I just feel that because SY wasn't at her top performance (she was significantly weaken from all her magic used to save her unrequited lover) and when TY defeated her, it wasn't as grand as it needed to be for that reason. She will come back and by then, hopefully TY has the rest of his body parts and then the showdown will be more fair.

The clip where she said to Sa Ding that she's not a proper match to him. jealousy looks so good right there

Thanks! I realized now I shouldn't have asked cuz now I see the spoiler clip and I went from "okay, I can wait until this gets cleared up cuz I know it will happen soon" to "omg, my heart is being stabbed by Tian Yao too. I can't wait for that scene. Why!?!"

OMG! I just saw this spoiler. My heart is so aching for when this realization is shown on air. Tian Yao! My fave ML of 2023

Can someone tell me what TY did in ep 16 from his 'mind' that he gave to YH?

So next Wednesday. We have a week of agony until then.

Guys, after we get over this angst in episode 17, it shouldn't last too long. There are still other lovable and cute moments to come based on the earlier trailer clips. It just makes their relationship all the more precious. Once we get over the fact that he needed her to help him regain his powers (and gets his powers back), his only need for her would be pure and it would only be for love. Ep 16-17 is necessary to pave the road for the rest of the episodes.

Not according to the schedule. After tomorrow's episode, 2 new ones resume on Monday

That one encounter is very significant for him. He was trapped in that darkness, entranced by the never ending counting but it was YH who went to look for him and she was able to get him out of that trance

Sounds very probable. Also makes sense for the scenes to come where he feels obligated to protect her from her sect when she is seen as 'evil'.

Trailer is hilarious. Seeing TXW brings me back to New Life Begins - equally hilarious character and also about food and farming. I hope they dub themselves.

He lied to her to say it was just a scale so that she would lower her guard around him. In the 1st episode, when he forcibly removed it, SY said that without it, his powers are greatly reduced. He will eventually need it back if he wants to regain the power he once had and he will need that power back to go up against SY and whatever evil that has yet to materialize.

1 ep a day is cruel to us shippers but it beats the usual schedule of a 3-4 day only release and having to wait days for new episodes. Painful.

He can't get his heart protection scale back yet. There is a seal on it that he can't break and even if he could, removing it will kill YH so unless he finds a way to keep her alive, he won't be attempting again to retrieve it. He most definitely will need to get it back but my guess is later on in the drama where it gets even more angsty.

When I first saw the trailer, I came for Lee Dong Wook but I've been firmly staying because of Kim Bum. I never saw season 1 but in the first episode, I was immediately attracted to his character and simply can't get enough. Then there is the actress who plays Hong Joo - haven't seen a korean female character this intriguing and full of mystery in a long time. ep 4 was full of mix scenes of humor. From the 'date' between Lee Rang and Miss Mermaid, to the 3 dads of the Foundling. The bickering of the Lee Brothers needs an extended version because I can't get enough of it and now throw in Shin Ju. Each episode has been so intriguing. Haven't seen such an addictive K drama in over a year.

I expected the ending to be better. I expected the drama to be better than what the trailer had it as. I thought there would be more hypnotic moments and questionable grey areas. The ending as I had predicted just fell flat. The endgame doesn't make sense to me. It started out pretty good, the first case. There were moments of cute bromance but it was overall disappointing for me. Stealth Walker with ZYC was much better even when there was hardly any romance but his character had more depth there. It's also 24 episodes but a heck lot more storytelling.

I've been eagerly waiting for this drama to air. I missed Neo Hou since his last drama with Leo Wu (Our Times). This styling for Neo is one of my faves. 1st episode looks good. Also missed seeing Yang Rong and indeed, she does the best cruel female roles out there.
