Most episodes are around 45 min long, but there are three that are around 1h30min long, so they probably split those longer episodes. From what I've seen people saying there are no additional scenes in those 3 eps.

Still bothers me that we never got the fully subbed version of this 😔

That's kinda crazy, but I've learned to go along with anything this genre throws at me. Anyway, thanks for replying!

Do we know how long people/cultivators live in this world? Because Tantai Jin said he has lived for 500 years and everyone was fine with that 🤔

Is she considered an idol actress? Haven't watched many of her dramas but from what I've seen she's a really good actress, among the best when it comes to the popular ones.

I have a question for those who read the book or understand this. Why were Merfolk living in Kongsang when they were considered inferior/second class citizens by Kongsang people and they had a home in Biluo Sea anyway? Like, they could've just returned there like they ended up doing in the end?

This genre isn't famous for its logic and common sense so I'll take whatever happened and consider it a happy ending, lol.

I might write a proper review later but for now I'll just say that it was a beautiful slow-burn love story with great acting from the leads and some beautiful visuals, but the plotty part was pretty mediocre ngl.
Also, there were some pretty interesting relationships aside from Shi Ying and Zhu Yan, like Shi Ying and his master and Zhu Yan and Zhi Yuan. I also like how there were no annoying evil characters who pretend to be good and make things hard for the leads. Those usually make my blood boil.

[ALSO, I think I'll stop watching currently airing dramas because I spoil so many things for myself and in the end the actual watching ends up not being as impactful as it could be.]

I'm too lazy to check episodes but you may be talking about the scene with Zhu Yan and Yuan (?). From what I understood it's not a real underwater scene but some kind of spell/Merfolk thing that simulates underwater feeling. The real underwater scene in this drama was actually filmed under water and I'm sure you'll love it once you come to that part. I was positively surprised.

Having TYM and TLP back to back was great, but now it's time for another drought T_T

It's a complete adaptation, I haven't seen anyone mentioning second season.

I think we have completely different taste when it comes to dramas (I had to check your watchlist and a lot of dramas I like you either dropped or rated low, and some I thought were trash you rated highly) but your comments are always well written and backed up so it's interesting to read and think about them. I agree with you about the part where you mention lack of stakes, it really did feel like that.

I obviously enjoyed it much more than you did so my honest rating would probably be 8.5 (I came into it looking for angst and good acting lol), but your review helped me realize what I found lacking (but couldn't pinpoint).

Oh, that's good then! Thanks for letting me know.

I'm only on episode 30 but I have to say that reveal of the masked man who was behind Ice Clan was such a letdown. I don't know whether there'll be more about it in later episodes but that was just anticlimactic.

It's okay, I didn't mean anything negative either, just found the expression you used funny 😅

Xiao Zhan dubbed himself, Ren Min is dubbed by someone else.

So true. I'm petty and easily insulted so I would never chase someone who openly rejects me, no matter the reason.

We're all so quick to judge her and point out her childishness and immaturity, but if someone actually spoke to her and stopped keeping her in the dark so many things could've been avoided, lol. She's actually pretty mature when she knows the stakes.

And she's also right about him not telling her anything and then getting mad at her for not trying to ask for his help. She's bound to mess up things when she has no idea what's actually happening around her (for example that earlier incident with his meditation).

SY being kinda annoying with his holier than thou attitude concerning ZY's wedding. Aside from her being basically forced to marry, they even planned to turn her into a puppet they could control, and he's there scolding her for trying to run away. Bye.

They're beautiful and she looks really good with that hairstyle, so pretty!

This is so good. 👏
Looking forward to the future ones, when we get more angsty scenes 👀
