The previous poster was better 🥲

Fair point. I also don’t like dropping shows, but 50 episodes is a lot to get through if you're not enjoying it.

I tried reading the novel years ago but couldn’t finish it because it felt like reading poorly written fanfiction. I gave up after about a third of the novel, I think. However, that was before the official translation came out (it was a fan translation at the time), so I might give it another try one day.

Why would you force yourself to watch something you obviously hate? Just drop it. 😆

I'm too lazy to find the episode and check again, but I'm pretty sure the petal took his human form. I never said he came back alive, as a human, but he was definitely in his human form in the last scene. I personally don't really see it as a completely sad ending. If he has consciousness in any form, and if they're able to meet in any form, that's good for me. The book has a happy ending so I kinda merge those two mediums to feed my delusions.

Or maybe we just don't get a boner from hating the female lead and instead enjoy the story and everything else that makes the drama 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just checked it out and it's true, they're similar. I love both. 😂

I don't think it's available anywhere yet. It's still in theatres, so we'll have to wait.

That poster where they're in their doctor gowns looks amazing! If I saw that one before, I would've immediately added this to my PTW list. I may be shallow like that, but good/intriguing posters play a huge role in getting me interesting in something.

I'm having so much fun reading comments here. People are completely divided, they either love him or despise him. It's funny how one character's action can be interpreted so differently by the viewers. 😅

Yeah, I also like the story and main leads. They're both good characters and I like their relationship. As for SWL and Angelababy, I think they're good. I've certainly seen worse. Ngl, FL's lips are somewhat distracting, but she's not a horrible actress (may not be among the best, but without a doubt can carry this role). SWL is hot AF as Xuan Lie. I'm obsessed with his hair/wig! 😂 This role really suits him.

The CGI is not even important in this drama tho. There were a few CGI animals in the beginning and that's that. Some other dramas rely heavily on CGI for their storytelling and it looks low budget and shitty, but people don't complain as much.

Dunno. I don't use Viki anymore, but from what I remember all dramas there had a 9+ rating. 😆

MDL is far from objective, but usually decent dramas have 8+ rating, and I didn't notice any major "flaws" while watching. But yeah, we all have different taste I guess.

I have 7 episodes left, and that's enough time for them to mess it up, but so far, so good. I don't really understand why people didn't like it. 🤔 Should easily be rated around 8.4-8.5.

I've checked it out. I liked the one where they're commenting on people's clothes/styling. 😂
Edits of his previous roles are also good!

I already watched some of his eating videos on YT (even without subs). It's kinda fascinating.🤣🤣

Nah, haha. The last thing I watched from him was Inference Notes, so I took a little break before starting Ice Fantasy.

Oh, it's really tough for us. All the actors I liked before were more internationally popular, so finding subbed videos of them wasn't that hard. It wasn't until I started following him that I realized how difficult it is for international fans to stay informed, LOL.

MJTY is one of my favorite C-Dramas, and I loved Cheng Lei in it, but I really wish GJM had given it to WD. He would've been able to bring it to life. It's annoying how most of his roles are supporting characters, even though his acting is leaps and bounds ahead of some really popular actors. That's why I'm glad he was in The Blossoming Love. Even though he was the SML, he had so much room to showcase his acting. Before TBL, I watched him in TYYM and TLG, but it was only after TBL that I started digging deeper.

I really want to watch those variety shows. 😭

If he's whipped he should give him a main role for a change! 😠

I'm watching Everlasting Longing and Study Group, so nothing with WD. In the last month I watched most of his works tho, I only have Ice Fantasy and Yes! Mr. Fashion (I didn't plan on watching this one) left.

I really wanted to watch his interviews and variety shows, but like I said, I couldn't understand anything. Hopefully, that machine translation will make it at least understandable.

I'm really looking forward to the Immortal Ascension!

Noup, I haven't seen Ice Fantasy yet. I want to finish these two dramas I'm watching right now, and then I'll check it out.

I've already seen LORD 1 & 2. His role wasn't big, but it was interesting & I liked the movies in general.

Are his interviews translated? I tried searching on YT, but nothing is translated into English and I don't understand Mandarin. 😔 I'll check it out tho. Thanks!

Yeah, I don't know what it was, but he was so attractive as a demon. It's probably a combination of the hair, different makeup and coloured lenses + his domineering 'no nonsense' attitude.

Hmm, the way I see it, they gave us a few clues and left it up to us to draw our own conclusions about what happened and how. CDramas like to do that. I've learned not to expect too much from this genre when it comes to logical consistency or detailed, cohesive world-building. For example, the way the ML in Moonlight Mystique came back to life at the end, or how the ML in The Longest Promise died, turned into a petal, and returned a year later, or how the FL in TTEOM went back in time, none of that made sense to me and couldn't really be explained logically. But what mattered to me were the vibes, the magic, and everything that came with it. 😂 I totally understand your frustration, though. I was a bit annoyed with the whole 'TMS destroying himself' part, because it was such an obvious plothole, but in the end I found the message behind that action more important.

And you're welcome, I guess. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help in that regard.

The whole TMS destroying the Book of Fate is a plothole. He needs to exist in order for things not to change. That's why I said it would make sense only if he was to reincarnate.

Actually, ZM already has that part of his soul that was XXC. The one CP sent into reincarnation cycle was the part of the past ZM's soul, and that ZM died together with HT. That part of him stayed inside CP and she later did what she did.

When TMS destroyed the Book of Fate that may have allowed for things to change and happen differently from the original timeline (with the base that they set 10 000 years ago), but they would still need NXY/TMS to be alive.

I don't remember them saying his imprisonment was eternal. He just needed to be imprisoned until the time HT showed up.
Like I said, all of this doesn't make much sense when you think too hard about it, because the time looping would be endless & time traveling doesn't make sense. 🤣 If you can't accept the story as it is, that's okay, it's true that there are plotholes. I personally can ignore logical inconsistencies and work around what they gave us to make some sense of it all.
