Yes, agree with you. The actor portrayed this character well.. to the point that I feel for him and like him a lot... even though my #1 is still YJL.

For those who know: Was Yang Jing Lan already the brocade officer before meeting Ying Ying, or did he become the officer after meeting her by the river in the first episode and was intrigued by her?

Agree! the AI technology has come a long way.... I didn't even really notice until it was mentioned that there was a face swap.

That's great! This is much sooner than I thought. The sooner the film the sooner this will be out - maybe end of next year?

Can someone who can find the explanation on the hushed voices post here? ugh, I am so annoyed with the raspy, whispery voices like a frog or something is caught in their throat.

OMG... wow. I am shocked.😲 I'm watching this and Kill Me Love Me... And I barely have enough time. Well good for you ✊

LOL... I feel like you're watching all the dramas... how do you have time ?

"national park forest" - love your analogy here - so true. While I'm not a sadist, I do love a very morally grey characters, and lots of angst to keep us on the edge of our seats....

This is a great list 👍

Yeah, i agree... just my personal feeling.

yes, agreed.

Is this from the original novel?

Ha... Ha... love your description "young losers"

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing👍

Feel free to disagree... but this is MY OPINION about DW's acting so you don't have to agree. I personally expected more of his interpretation of Jing's character and felt his acting didn't convince me which was why I couldn't get into his character despite trying. I also felt the same regarding his acting in his role in TTEOTM - it was meh, but he did great in Miss the Dragon and he and the 2FL carried the drama. These are my thoughts, which respectfully may be different from yours and that is OK! I also agree with you that XY doesn't owe XL anything, and I didn't say that he did... My comments have been about the sad ending that he will face and how the author wrote that and joked about the sinking ship, so I hope you're interpreting the way I'm seeing it and not reading into something that isn't there. This forum should allow people of various, differing viewpoints to express their thoughts freely and in a positive way. We can agree to disagree. We don't have to be on the same side or ship. And this is not a Ship war... I am not attacking any Jing/TSJ fans. While on here, I'm more interested in reading people's comments and opinions and understanding why they think the way they think and what is their motivation when they express their viewpoints. There is NO absolute right or wrong with liking characters...some like Jing others like XL. I have my preference, but I enjoy reading other people's preferences and how they arrived at that. The thinking process is most interesting to me...

someone should have prepared me for the the final outcome from Day 1, Ep1 so that I wouldn't get my hopes up... invested too much emotion... at the point of no return now, unfortunately... 🥹 I will get through all of S1. S2 will be ??? for me.

Nice summary! Very clear and logical.

So based on that, it seems she doesn't know FFB is XL yet.... Wow, she did spend a lot of time with FFB - like 16 months and hadn't really seen Jing and was wondering how Jing would feel about that.

Well, I think all that he will do for her will far make up for the beatings that happened early in the drama... I know some people are triggered by beatings/stockholm syndrome/etc and I'm not here to reduce it. This story is fantasy genre with mythological characters.. and in mythology these deities, demons engage in fights, beat each other up, get hurt, regenerate, some die and reincarnate over mutliple lifetimes... so I don't apply human physical pain to these deities/demons when I watch these drama because they are different. Now if this was a historical ancient chinese than I would not have liked any character inflicting physical pain on their loved ones or potential love interest. So this drama is complete mythology/ fantasy fiction to me - that allows me the opportunity to escape into another world, another experience...

Yeah, I agree... I couldn't get into DW's acting (despite trying really hard). Otherwise, I would have been on both ships TBH, though my favorite would still be XL. I think DW is suited for strong, assertive male roles (and even bad boy/dark characters), not passive, hen-pecked males where subtle micro-expressions are required to tell the story. He's got a pretty face... that's it. I liked him better in Miss the Dragon and thought he did great in that character.
