In Episode 16, I think Xia Qing (the ex) tried to win him back after lamenting to her friend in the bar that she can't let him go. But after she implied that Jing Jing's rise to fame in the entertainment industry was because of ... dirty/sexual favours, Yu Tu completely rejected and shut her down. I think what annoyed me most about that scene was how a capable, high wage earner like her could say that Jing Jing slept her way to the top just to push her character down in front of Yu Tu. There was zero need for that. It's not as if this doesn't happen in the corporate world either; for the sake of promotions and whatnot. Before this she was also taking shots at Jing Jing saying how her grades in school sucked. Then Yu Tu defended Jing JIng saying she graduated from University.
I think Yu Tu himself knew that Xia Qing was deliberately saying this to him to make him feel that Jing Jing isn't suited to be his girlfriend.
It was completely underhanded. Yet Xia Qing acted righteously after Yu Tu rejected her. She made it seem like he didn't have to worry about money anymore since he's with a celebrity so he can return to his low wage job in the aerospace industry.
She was pretty hypocritical and disgusting at the bar with her friend too. We knew she broke up with Yu Tu because of his low income, long houred job. She said she felt unfair that she had to take on financial burden with housing and kids etc (whatever happened to equality that women wanted???). If anything, the strong, mature woman was her friend. She was so DONE with Xia Qing always mooning over Yu Tu.
It was clear how she focused on what Yu Tu could give her and how his looks can boost her image. Xiao Ting have no substance and will never be happy, when she base her happiness on materialist things.

Just a little out of topic.
Somewhere in the thread (pages 600 something) last year, there was a bit of discussion on who were the rumoured candidates for the role of DH. One was supposedly KW opposite AL as FJ, who is now in hot seat and the tabloid fodder even in international news sites.
https://www.jaynestars.com/news/kris-wu-suspected-of-violating-13-year-old-girl/
More than anything now that it's such a relief that V reprised his role. He too may have his own shares of controversies, but nothing compared to the magnitude of the crimes KW is investigated of.
I can't even imagine him as DH. Something about him seems off, even before this whole scandal blew up.
No matter what, Vengo is the best DH. I can't imagine what he'll Reba would have to go through if KW was cast as DH.

I've watched the 9 episodes of YAMG so far. Watching only for the visual of these two good looking people, but seriously don't worry guys. I can't feel any explosive chemistry, like at all. Lol It really feels like they are just acting. YY's acting still hasn't improve much. Time like these I really miss our DongFeng moments and Dijun's affectionate gaze and caresses. *Sigh* We'll see how the rest of the series pan out.
I enjoy watching this drama and I agree, amazing eye candy but I am not feeling the chemistry.

Reba has been confirmed for her next project with Gong Jun. Is that me or they can pass as siblings?
With her figure, I think Reba needs to be cast alongside ML with manly feature ( I don't mean to offense anyone, I just don't know how to word it better).I get what you mean. I think her co stars are all attractive in their own ways. Even though Reba is super thin, she is tall and can make her male co-stars look shorter.
I am bias, I think I got so use to watching Vengo and Reba together, all of Reba's other co-star seem less physically impressive next to her. But in reality, it would be hard to find an actor who is 190cm and attractive.

@SilverDawn the drawing is gorgeous. This is totally bias, I think the couple have the most romantic and natural poses.

ELOD Ep39, WeTV (screenshot gif by poster)
FJ's expressions are beautiful. She is truly blessed, and all of Donghua's microexpressions for FJ are so heartwarming.
I wonder how many of the microexpressions FJ catch.
On 7/17/2021 at 2:40 AM, Megan said:I hate to say this, but currently watching episode 50 of EL, FJ reminds me of SJ…they insist on sticking by their crush despite being unwanted….if DH didn’t actually like FJ, no doubt she would be a returning nuisance.
why did they decide to give FJ such a different personality? Bai Yi’s character wasn’t that different from the pillow book. I’m just glad ELOD FJ is mindful of keeping her dignity.
FJ did came off as needy in EL. If her feelings were not reciprocated, she would seem like a stalker.
Both FJ and DH in EL seem two dimensional.
I am glad ELOD's FJ and DH are similar to the book version.
@Ninky can't wait to read your translations. Thanks for not giving up on the translations during these difficult times.

Ikr!
One of the reasons i prefer Donghua are his swift actions and takes no grievance from anyone. Even for promises, he's sly enough to have power over them to bend those to his preference. DH also had the power to command that freedom for his will.
YH also takes swift actions like how he stabbed Sujin on their wedding day. But he let too many unnecessary things to happen in his own courtyard. He should have atleast put a spy near Sujin. I felt like he underestimated Sujin a lot.
Also due to different circumstances and positions of power of YH and DH, no one has the power to dictate DH in his personal life. YH's story was too much like a palace drama with evil concubines and mother.
I know YH can't help it, but it just made me prefer DH more.
Don't get me wrong, i really appreciate his devotion to Bai Qian, but those were somethings i didn't really suit my taste.
I guess it all depends on what kind of drama one prefers.
Yes. I thought that was him too. Just too blurry.
Thank you!
Good points. YH is in a different situation compare to DH.
I just cannot compute some of the choices YH makes and the consequences for BQ. It was traumatic for me as a viewer.
It is probably why I prefer DH and FJ's story. Perhaps it is because their love story is alot more fairytale like.
On 6/24/2021 at 8:53 AM, PomeeYuuki said:I feel like Gun Gun is luckier than A-li.
Gun Gun atleast has 1000 years where his father will keep going for his annual 3-4 months seclusion and he can have his mother's full attention.
After 1000 years, he'll already be too old to be that clingy with his mother
.
Maybe that's why he's not shown to be as fussy about this matter compared to A-li
Gun Gun is alot more lucky. He had alot more quality time with both of his parents.

As for white haired men in drama...Dylan Wang will star in upcoming drama Miss the dragon.
Some of these Chinese Actors look absolutely amazing with long hair.
16 hours ago, Romulan said:its great when they do those stories well. It seems to happen better in Asian dramas than in Western ones usually. I think the problem is the Western films tends to have the foolish, lazy male, who ends up getting the extremely accomplished hardworking female just by their charm.
Some Chinese dramas/novel do it too well. I remember watching Ashes of Love. I cried like no tomorrow. Luckily ELOD have many funny moments.
4 hours ago, Megan said:You know, from DH’s POV, it looked like a love square.
XY loves JH
JH wants DH
DH is possessive towards FJ
(and to DH’s eyes) FJ is unnecessarily affectionate towards XY.
I found it so amusing how others saw it clearly that FJ and DH was head over heels for each other, but they were blinded by their insecurities.
I guess XY played a huge part in fueling FJ and DH's miscommunication.

If I remember correctly, I've read it somewhere that way back TMOPB, they did several "look test", including Vengo having white eye brows. Perhaps they found Vengo as Dong Hua was most majestic/God like in platinum hair? I also agree with @Ninky that silver hair wigs aren't easy to work with.
Even Chris Hemsworth looked terrible in Thor with blonde eye brows!
Vengo look amazing with long white/silver hair. His height helps. I haven't seen another actor that look as good.

She looked desperate to me. Holding wu lei arm when walking, with her bussines smile.. Too sugary smile it looked fake. I know this drama is verg importan to her and the big investment for the drama needed to be returned but, yeah. She looked desperate
. That's the vibe i got
She looked professional. The vibe I got was she seemed comfortable with Leo. Leo appear respectful of her. He isn't pushing his boundaries. So I can see why Reba would be less on guard.

To be honest I don’t know what is so strange about having a second wedding to your husband again. For those who understood why Feng Jiu refused to have the 200 days of wedding celebration because everyone already knew she was married, would you mind explaining to me?
I may be completely wrong.
FJ may be saying it's strange as part of a excuse. The main contributing factor to her refusal is the trauma she experienced.
Their last attempt to marry was extremely traumatic for FJ. She thought DH had abandoned her for JH. To add to this injury, it was in front of her family, friends and important individuals of multiple realms.
It wouldn't be surprising if the mention of wedding alone brings back such negative emotions that FJ prefer not to go through it again.
I actually love how DH tried so hard to give FJ the wedding she deserves. Actually it should be a wedding they both deserve. They both worked hard to make their relationship work. As much as DH hates ceremony, I think he love the idea of acknowledging FJ as his one and only queen to the world.
So it was perfect when DH gave FJ a surprise wedding. This way she had no time to drill on the past, but she can also replace that terrible experience with a positive one.

Have you seen the clips?
It just need 3 episodes of elod to reach this views.
This will be a big test for reba. Her name and fans alone wouldn't be sufficient to pull the viewers.
She should try harder doing transision to a serious actor. She's almost 29. And she has more mature face compare to her peers in the same age.
She can't rely on idol dramas much longer. She should learn more from V. Doing small serious roles to gain experience and network between doing idol drama. Kind of like some big hollywood actors doing superheroes movies for money and serious dramas at the same time
I have watched some of the clips. I don't see her as embarrassing. Reba is her usual self. She looked beautiful and playful.
Reba seems like a person who put alot of thought into her decisions. Looking back at the scripts she recently picked, she is transitioning to more serious roles. I am very happy to see Vengo's hardwork is paying off, but we should also acknowledge Reba is doing her best.

Yeah I want to say it looks like jade, but that's to my untrained eye, so who knows. But jasper seems to come in many different colors, one of which is green, and the green one looks a lot like jade. And I'm just going off of Tangqi's work, but she sorta seems to use 玉 and 碧玉 pretty interchangeably, so perhaps jasper and jade are similar?
Also, AOL is actually a book, and most dramas are based off of books. AOL has actually even already been translated by someone at this link: http://onesecondspring.blogspot.com/p/translations.html
If you do decide to read it, lmk what you think, I've been telling myself I'm going to read it and watch the drama for like a year and somehow I've never gotten around to it.
I watched and read AOL before ELOD. I really enjoyed AOL at the time, but if I read or watched it after ELOD, I think I would find it less captivating.

Is this hamster’s translation?
anyway, i think they rather believe Dong Hua owes them. They didn’t treat him well. It is implied by Tang Qi in the Chinese version that all they provided for him were meals, no love nothing. I think i have quoted in chinese and translated this to show that somewhere in these forum pages. Ill try to find it.
Hmm no wonder Zhi He behaves the way she does.

Wondering if that former general he gave the crystal claw to is already in DH's army.
“You had gone to save someone, and then after you’d saved that person and were coming back, you encountered a major event that endangered everyone that you needed to take care of, so you missed our wedding ceremony.
Sighing on this.
Love it that he's so very attuned to her.
He looked into her eyes. “Did you really wholeheartedly refuse?”
“Mmm,” gloomily, “Although…” She bit her lip again. “But it would be very strange, so I still didn’t want it.”
Another reason why only she can be his Dihou.
“Actually, if I can be with Dijun, I’m already very content. I’m not really very regretful that our wedding ceremony wasn’t so perfect either.”
Beautiful, clever, a little dull-witted sometimes, but no matter when, always so sensible that she made others’ hearts ache. This was the woman holding his hand that it would only be very, very late in his life before he would meet. His heart trembled slightly, and he couldn’t help but raise his hand to stroke her forehead.
Although FJ skimmed over the the details, it brought up such negative emotions in me!
FJ is a strong and sensible character. It is great DH is attuned to her needs.
DH is so literal when it comes to giving out nicknames. No wonder the couple stuck with the name BGG for their son.

Actually, reading chapter 5 again; why does Dong Hua like it when Feng Jiu packs his luggage? I don’t get it. Is this like a love language or something?
Yes. It demonstrates FJ cares enough to notice DH's likes and dislikes, and she wants to make sure his needs are met. FJ could have easily let someone else do it but she wants to do it herself. On the other hand, DH is showing FJ how much he trust her, by letting her touch his private processions.
This is DH and FJ's love language. It does not mean other couples will feel the same. It really depends on the individuals preference.

And hence the snail pace! Initially, I had wanted to update every 3 days or so but the lack of softcopy really slowed me down significantly. When I first started the work on it, I was on sick leave so technically if I really wanted to I could have finished it a lot quicker, but then it was a monster flu and so spent a lot of time sleeping.
Health is important. Glad you are getting what sounds like a much needed rest. Hope you get better soon.

Hmm, well off the top of my head, I would think that this is probably because if she just walked up to them and was like "Heyyy, I'm you're granddaughter from 260,000 years in the future!", as funny as it might be for us, they'd realistically probably think that she was insane.
Well then, you're one of... ahem... nine people... who read the disclaimer. LOL. Everyone else just went straight to the text.
Haha guilty for the first reading! I do go back and read the disclaimer and read the chapter a few times.
SpoilerI love reading DH's POV. It's rather sweet how he was put off by FJ's age but as soon as he meets her, that no longer is an issue.
DH is so helpless against her whim.
FJ is just as sweet and sensible as ever. I absolutely love how she gets on her day with BGG and gives just enough attention to DH to let him know she cares. There is no in his face and give me attention type of behaviour. No wonder DH keeps falling in love with FJ.

Hmmm Let's take a quick vote:
Which kissing scene between BFJ and DH did people like best?
Episide 35: Childish Kiss followed by the real rolling one
Episode 42: Passionate Cave Kiss
Episode 44: After his proposal.
And i did notice a pattern in Tang Qi's scenes of kisses when she writes them. They all had a scene where the girl is pressed against some solid surface.
e.g. Bai Qian / Ye Hua at the West Sea Dragon King Palace.
e.g. Bai Feng Jiu / Dong Hua at the cave after the Dragon fight
e.g. Cheng Yu / Lian Song somewhere near the bathhouse..... ahem
I vote for Episode 35: Childish Kiss followed by the real rolling one. I was super cute how FJ wanted to kiss DH and she denied it. I also like all of their nose kisses.
One thing I absolutely love about their kisses is that they look natural. It didn't seemed forced or awkward.
There is a fine line between awkward and sweet. The great acting in the drama made it super sweet.

The much more wholesome kind, not like the throwing out of the demon ladies and lad. 
I am sure he loves this type of cultivation!
I find it rather amusing for someone with 0 EQ, DH recognised and predicted how Shao Yan's "death" would severely impact Mo Yuan.
