but first of all I just need to say how much I LOVE that the drama took the idea of Zhao Yunlan being randomly yeeted into the past (and a time loop with no actual beginning) and put it together with the Kunlun and Weilan storyline and made it into the absolute MASTERPIECE of a story!! ♡♡♡ A++++ choices were made! :D ♡♡♡
1000% AGREED!! :D
but this really feels like they're both just kids - this is exactly how kids learn from each other. :D :D
It really does. How old is Kunlun even supposed to be, in this version of events?? /rhetorical
And has a tendency to fall off of things when flustered. :D
Haha, given DQ and ZH, this is starting to seem like a trope. :D
He worked FIFTY YEARS for this, aw!!
I knoooooow!!!
Or did it start beating because of Kunlun making him half-god (which is the only thing that happens in between)?
Ohh, I hadn’t connected it to the gui having no heartbeat, but yeah, I think SW becoming half-god must be the difference.
So he hasn't even learned to contain and suppress his emotions, and yet he didn't end up killing anyone. Because his emotions wanted him to cry and not to kill anyone. Maybe he simply doesn't need to suppress them, then. (Just facts for older Shen Wei to consider. :P)
Yes, this!!!
I honestly, genuinely feel bad for him. They made Ye Zun even more sympathetic than that in the drama, but this is already sympathetic enough for me.
It really is wildly unfair. (And then there’s all the other gui, too, some of whom are presumably not that far from Ghost Face and Shen Wei’s state of complicatedness? Idk.)
The description of Shennong is SO similar to the description of GCC carrying all the stuff at the train station
Yess, I noticed that too. I think it has to be intentional? I really enjoyed it, anyway.
Did he literally confirm it, or was it always just very strong suspicions? (I know he confirmed it in the original version, and it felt like too much too early. And now I don't remember if later he confirmed it in this version too. :P)
Does this count as confirming? It might to him.
There’s no way I’d ever blind a divine dragon for no reason.”
His “dad” glanced at Shen Wei and nodded in agreement. “That makes sense.”
(Also I hope this is not the same ice cream shop that his father had his power trip about. D:)
Ohh, that’s a good point. Surely the fact that he’s eating ice cream here suggests the ice-cream-related trauma was a little over-stated? /hopeful
I absolutely love the taxi driver. :D :D
Hee! Me too. It was the perfect taxi for ZYL to choose. :D
How about you at least only take good talismans with you if the possibility of DRY SWALLOWING them exists, what the hell. xD
LOL!!!
And here's the 'Zhao Yunlan watches Shen Wei having a private meeting with his father' scene from the drama! :D
Yes!! I was so happy to see that here. (It makes me think that in the drama, Shen Wei is very restrained and not throwing his weight (and enormous power) around at all! <3
(He just wants them both to touch the same thing, I guess?)
That is so saaaad, and yet, I’m just laughing at it. Sorry, SW!
Hah, Shen Wei doesn't respect gods either. :D
Shared values! :D :D :D
I understand the confusion and all, but like, have you met the Emissary before. :P :P
I’m slightly confused by his description of SW as “easily bullied”, like, what? Even the SW he knows isn’t, except when it comes to very personal/intimate things. ;-p
"Somehow, he still doubted that this was real. He was starting to get used to being lied to; at the rate things were going, he was going to become paranoid and suspect that everything was a lie."So very valid!
Right? I am right there with him!
ETA: How about you at least only take good talismans with you if the possibility of DRY SWALLOWING them exists, what the hell. xD
LOL, now I'm wondering if the business in ep 8 of the drama with ZYL wanting to dry-swallow his medicine and SW not letting him was the drama writers have exactly this reaction to the novel. :D :D :D
