Because hes the favourite? 🤣 I know hes technically billed as third ML but he's really not imo.

I have read the novel and I still think the character is weak. And when I say weak im not referring to strength or power or intelligance and cunning. I mean weak as in the character doesn't stand out to me in any particular way that makes me drawn to it or interested in reading despite this. This is even more prevalent in the drama because the performance itself is kind of weak in my opinion. I feel like im watching paint dry during some of his scenes. It's lacking something to me.. he was instantly devoted and it just feels hollow. Like he's there just to be Xiao Yao's dependable future steady. I also dont feel much on screen chemistry between the actors.

This is all very subjective of course and everyone will experience it differently. Many here enjoy him in the novel and in the show and that's awesome. I'm just not one of them. Lol

Yeah! I probably tipped her off about the ending just from the expression on my face. whoops. lol

I've seen that episode a few times now and it still gets me. If only Nian Baiyu hadn't interrupted them. maybe she would have told him, maybe things would have been different lol.

They are the same person. FFB is XL. It's just another identity that he takes on.

I think it was right after the part at the bridge where Susu talks about wanting to tell him the truth so that she could be with him forever and protect him. One of them obviously picked up on something because she just turned to me and sighed and said "this is going to hurt me isn't it?" 🤣

Yeah, I mean we're all the kinds of people who love fantasy and the more flamboyant and extravagant styling so I wasn't surprised they ended up appreciating the aesthetics and the costume/makeup. But as they weren't really super attracted to LYX from the beginning, to see them both kind of sit up and take notice during the emperor era, made me chuckle.

Chen Du Ling is very pretty too! One of them even said "literally every person in this is ridiculously good looking.... "

I can totally understand why they loved emperor era TTJ so much. It was one of my favourite eras in terms of his look too. They sat up in their seat like "Holy crap! Now, I think he's hot" during that era. They loved the braids and the makeup and the lush costumes - which is fair enough, cos I felt the same. I think their ultimate favourite was the look he had during the water festival, with the crown and the black feather coat and stuff. Understandable. He and Lulu really were both gorgeous in that entire segment.

But I'm definitely like you too, I really loved all of his looks. Aside from Emperor era, another one of my favourites is the feathery/fluffy blue coat look he wore in episode 7-9. and all of the devil god looks. I can never pick just one. 😂

They don't know what they're in for. They've not completed the drama yet. One of them kind of knows there is a lot of pain ahead and has sort of made guesses and predictions. The other knows nothing. hehe....😂 They might hate me after this lol.

I've been showing TTEOTM to two different friends the last couple of weeks and neither of them have ever watched C-Drama before. It's interesting watching it through their eyes as it's completely new territory for them. They both said they love Tantai Jin's look during the Emperor era the most. One actually said she thought this was when he was at his most attractive and sexy. She wasn't into him like that in the beginning (I can't relate at all obviously... as I've been into LYX from the minute I was introduced to him haha)

I may have converted some new LYX fans!

She also said Bai Lu and Sun Zhenni are "just the prettiest things ever" Which they are. lol

One of them is also a big gamer and so they appreciate the more "video game-esque" special affects as well as the story telling and world building part of it.

Hmm that is definitely weird.

Other than viki, there are other platforms to watch Love is Panacea for free when it drops, like Kisskh.com. They usually get most dramas pretty much straight away. (like within minutes of it dropping sometimes) Without ads too.

Good to know they are completely aware of what was going on. No matter how much other people continue to deny it.

Lol it's worth it. Beautiful kind of pain

Not really moved on. But im able to watch something new and fully enjoy it now. 😅 LYF for me too. It's good but I already know it's going to break my heart.

Though I was also watching be your own light for Liu Yuning which was pretty good too.

But definitely haven't "moved on"

The original script had 55 episodes in total (28 episodes in part 1, 27 episodes in part 2) and now its 60. So it's possible that very little has actually been cut out.

It was only rumoured to have been 70 episodes. It was never confirmed.

In the novel Xiao Yao gets pleasure from his biting her, so I wasn't surprised to see those scenes played as being highly suggestive and sexual. I think it was intentional. Especially the one in episode 10 - for obvious reasons. The chemistry between the actors obviously makes it even more intense.

That's weird. it's still available here in Australia. My friend is also watching Legend of Anle on Youku from the US at the moment too.

I have heard that the app is not currently available to download from the apple store. I just checked and the international app is still available to download from the google play store for android users here so it might be just an apple thing at the moment.

It has apparently happened to other apps in the past so it might pop back for apple users soon. However if a user already has the app installed, it should still work for them.

An open ending that is sad and bittersweet but also hopeful in it's implications.

Haha im not cranky at all 🤣 very amused though. It's interesting to hear such a surface level take.

People in real life (and drama) don't always come out and say exactly what they mean.

When she told her father it wasnt someone close to her she was trying to shrug it off as it not meaning anything (both to herself and to her father) but that doesn't mean it didn't mean anything. That is a thing people do... deflect from their actual feelings, especially when they've been caught and are sheepish. It's written and directed in this way because they expect people to know and understand this.

You say she was just smiling cos she was happy she could get back at the 9 headed demon but one of those images was taken from their time underwater together (episode 12) when he looked back at her and smiled. That had nothing to do with getting back at anyone. It was a moment she felt compelled to capture. She wanted to remember it.

But again, if you wanna see it in a way where everything that comes out of her mouth is to be taken in a 100% literal surface level way and that there are zero feelings, thats cool. you do you. No problem.

yeah it's definitely unfortunate. Obviously I would have preferred a version without so many cuts. Even just a few more episodes would have helped so much with some of those loose ends. and is 43 or 44 episodes really that different than 40? Ugh, it's definitely a shame.

But at the same time I'm still so grateful? It's such a weird feeling to be like... oh crap, maybe it was for the best. I dunno... the idea of living with the unknown while waiting an entire year sounds awful. I think we all would have lost our minds if for some reason the airing of part 2 fell through. What a nightmare lol

Yeah, I'm now feeling so grateful we got TTEOTM the way we did, and when we did. These new regulations state that if a drama is split into two parts the interval between airing must be over 12 months. That is a long wait. 3-6 months might have been doable but 12 months would probably have killed the momentum. Not to mention, anything can happen in that time, especially in c-ent.

At least we got TTEOTM completed, even if it is with cut scenes and editing issues. Though I could have waited a year, I can't help but think about the possibility of airing part 1 and then during the interval, something coming up that kills the airing of the second part. Whether that's new random regulations or a scandal with a cast member or anything. Then we'd be left with part 1 and that would be it.

worst case scenario haha

It's going to be a long wait for part 2 of Lost You Forever *sigh*

New regulations have just come out. now stating that if a drama is split into two parts the interval between the airing must be more than 12 months. Which means we won't get part 2 for a least a year...
