Yesterday's episode is so good! Love the part where Bai Cai keep changing from Bai Chai to the Crystal Spirit. Her scenes with Wu Geng was really well made -- you can see how she struggled to keep her conscious.

It made me laugh how his Aunt just want them to have misunderstanding. It made me lol how obsessed she is. But even the Spirit didnt want to give her that. 😂 Wu Geng knew right away Bai Cai is not his Bai Cai.

Before watching today's episode, I just keep rewatching Episode 28 for just how awesome is the twist. I really like how the script is deceptive while also telling us all over the place not to believe that deceptive narrative at the same time -- totally a brilliant writing.

And Wu Geng & Bai Cai's acting while executing the trap is excellent with no cracks at all -- the betrayal and disappointment expressions to all the tears are very convincing. The one that kind of give away its a plan is the Bai Prince when A'Lan tries to send a message by a butterfly -- he had a worried face for a split second in that scene.

I think Erxing definitely die as in the intro, we can see he become stone and Hei Long walks past beside him. But I wish he didnt though. I really like his character. But during the promo, the way people talk, it seemed like he died. Thats the feeling I get when I watch it.

It is foreshawodowing and 100% will happen. But like I said, it probably will happen before the big battle at the end so she probably come back.

And Xing Fei said her character has a happy ending so I dont think with happy ending, she meant that she died at the end. I try to be optimistic. We have watched so many Cdramas -- they always come back esp for Fantasy/XianXia type of story.

I personally feel its gonna be an open ending seeing the Director previous track record. But I'm hoping for a full happy ending tbh.

Xing Fei said her character will have a happy ending so I guess tragedy most probably out of the question. Hopefully 😬

I'm a big RJL fan and I truth to be told, I actually have faith in the scripts that he picked. I dont think I ever seen his dramas with stupid misunderstandings thus I knew the script wont betray us. 🤭 I really hope he keep this track record since it makes watching his dramas so satisfying.

I actually really like the dramas he picked since he usually picked interesting and good script. Like Twilight last year for an example, I knew it has only 7.3 ratings at MDL but if you actually rate it based on the script quality, it deserved at least a 9 with how the script is structured and how complex the characters are written. I dont think I have seen any Cdramas with that kind of unique and creative storytelling with a looooot of detailing. Thus, it scored an extra points in my book.

I wonder why everyone else is saying the show will end in tragedy? Is it because what happened at the wedding? The wedding will happen before the big battle at the end so I'm pretty sure they wont kill the FL before the big battle considering she is also crucial for the team for her crystal ancient divine power.

Aren't we already being fooled so many times by the drama? Everytime we thought something will happen its actually the opposite? Everytime we thought the leads are stupid is actually their plan all along?

Plus, Xing Fei told us her character has a happy ending so I'm pretty much convinced we will get an open ending instead lol. 😆

Yes, the fact he is chilling while Bai Cai is crying is actually very telling. 🤣

The fact is, the drama dropped so many hints to show us that he always know it is Xinyue Kui's manipulations. They cant give us that many hints while also showing us that Bai Cai slowly turning to evil. That is why when they keep showing how Wu Geng fall for the evil scheme, it is pretty torturing since it seemed he is so gullible and stupid. I was like; it cant be, this cant be the same Wu Geng that we know from the drama lol which further my conviction that its all part of his plan all along.

You should have watch the drama first before reading the comments since it will play with you all sorts of emotions before they revealed to you the twist.

And you are absolutely correct. This drama has done many foreshadowing for future events as hints to a lot of things. And all these hints are so glaringly obvious as signs to us the audiences about the characters such as how smart is Wu Geng or how sensible is Bai Cai. The way the drama play around with the hints while showing us different things are all kind of brilliant. It even makes you question whether have you read the drama correctly or is it going to betray you? -- this kind of questions keep running through your head while you are watching the episodes -- a very unique way of storytelling. The attempts of the screenwriter to fool the audiences while also giving answers at the same time are very entertaining. It makes the twist super rewarding and satisfying.

Of course! Tragedy is bound to happen as we still have 12 episodes left. I'm appreciating the fact that the writing is still solid so far which didn't betray the characters or make them doing stupid decisions or using dumb misunderstandings to move the plot. A good writing can still end in tragedy and it is perfectly fine as long as it is written with logic and making sense.

I actually had my doubt in the middle of Episode 28 when Wu Geng let all the immortals ambushed him at the Palace. I was like; 'I cant believe they destroy his characterization!!😭', 'I cant believe they didnt follow the original IP', 'I cant believe this drama going to be a bad writing after it being so solid so far... 🥹'

I'm so happy I was right at the end. It was his plan all along.

Though I cant fault anyone to think they're going to turn to stupid misunderstanding since a lot of Cdramas did have bad writing with characters turning 180 degrees, character doing dumb decisions and characters simply behaving out of characters. So for everyone to think this drama will be the same makes sense I guess.

I think the wedding will be in Episode 37 or 38 after they meet the sea spirit clan. The wedding is definitely will happen before the big battle at the end with Hei Long. From how what we get to see right now, most probably she will return during the big battle -- there is no way they are going to kill the FL 2 or 3 episodes before the end. Plus, Xing Fei said her character has a happy ending so most probably an open ending we will get for the end.

Not sure. It most probably an open ending as this Director love open ending for his dramas. An audience asked Xing Fei about whether her character has a happy ending during the promotion of the drama last year and she said 'yes'. So most probably open ending.

I'm happy that I'm right. Literally everyone is saying how stupid is Bai Cai but I knew deep down inside that its all plan devised by Wu Geng. This is because they keep dropping hints all over the drama esp on the last 4 episodes:
1) Wu Geng constantly hint on his identity to Bai Cai carelessly -- giving his Mum's hair pin, talking about military practice, etc..
2) Bai Cai mentioned about the 'mystery voice that helped her' and Wu Geng did nothing about the crucial information.
3) The talk Wu Geng had with Bai Cai before she had a long walk on trust. This drama is very good at foreshadowing and this trust talk is the biggest hint to the audiences that their trust in each other remains unbreakable.
4) Wu Geng talking about his Mum & Dad to the Bai Prince knowing Bai Cai is behind him all along.
5) Gui Mo talking about Xinyue Kui protecting Bai Cai to Wu Geng, and still, he did nothing on the information which is hilarious.
6) His refusal to explain to Bai Cai which is totally out of character for him and didnt make any sense.
7) Wu Geng going to the Palace instead of searching for Bai Cai which is like the most mindblowingly out of character for Wu Geng to do.
8) For him to agree on Bai Prince's plan for the ceremony since my guess that its all part of his and the Prince's plan to fool the enemy. Wu Geng has been so smart and all his moves screamed stupid to me regarding the ceremony.
9) Then, the most important point on how Bai Cai has been so smart and sensible for the whole drama, so there is no way she will fall to Xinyue Kui's manipulations. Foreshadowing about how she wont let enemy used her against Wu Geng is all over the drama since Episode 15. And she will keep this promise until the end, I believe.

I'm so glad I'm right. I was not ready to be disappointed with the script. 😂 And I have to give it to the scriptwriter though -- it is a good writing. Basically fooling 80% of the audiences then give us the awesome twist at the end. :D

I dont know. I have faith in the script. Its probably its her and Wu Geng plan all along. Because you see, the way the script has been structured so far, she is written as someone smart and sensible. There is so many hints that point out she always knew his secrets and has been protecting it all along. So, for the script to make her go stupid and out of character will be a disservice to the story and the original IP which is well loved.

There is a lot of instances in the drama where we thought the leads are stupid, but its actually their plan all along to fool the enemy.

So, I really hope it wont be that way as the script has been solid so far. I will be so disappointed if they go that misunderstanding route. :(((

Same, if they do that. I'm gonna be so disappointed lol.

I have faith in the script. I try to be optimistic. 🤭 I dont remember the last RJL's drama that have stupid misunderstandings in them. Hopefully it wont be this one since the script has been solid so far.

Yes, she is the root of evil -- just like Hei Long. But the script has been great so far. I really dont want them to turn to misunderstanding to move the plot and make the characters do things that didnt make sense. She always trust and understand him, to have her fall for the evil scheme is just stupid lol considering how sensible she has been so far. Really hope it wont turn to this.

When did Bai Cai let the High Priestess manipulate her? The latest episode, she told Wu Geng right away despite she has been warned against it by the 'Voice'. And even when she did turn 'evil' at later episodes, I dont think its by manipulations as all hints are pointing out that she always know about Wu Geng's identity and has always been protecting his secret. But she is possessed by evil spirit which makes her acted against her will -- my money is in this.
