The original poem is 三千世界のからすを杀し ぬしと朝寝がしてみたい, which translated in Chinese is 三千世界鸦杀尽 与君共枕到天明. So basically, it means to kill all the world's birds in order to let their lover have a restful sleep and not be awakened by the sound of the bird's chirping. It's to signify how deep the person's love is for their lover. Aye, the page on Avirtualvoyage also mentioned, and I quote: "In ancient China, crows were believed to represent the Sun. The killing of 3000 (just a number to mean A LOT) crows means to kill the sun, so that dawn never comes and I can sleep with you for eternity. AKA sometimes a euphemism for death." I don't know if that sounds grim or romantic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiaGia Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I really have to learn the actor's name, but for now he's Feng'Er to me from Royal Nirvana. Lol, the lead male actor here is soo cute, he's like your cute and sweet typical guy next door. He got that beautiful smile going on that just seems so genuine and sweet. I'm gonna wait for more episodes to air, and then will watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the origin stories and meaning of the crows in the title. I think The Killing of Three Thousand Crows is such a poetic title-much better than the bland Love of a Thousand Years they are calling it on Youtube. On the other hand, I can understand why they changed it for English speaking audiences because it does seem like a random title otherwise. 22 hours ago, angelangie said: The Killing of 3k Crows is doing very well, they top the chart on Mar/23 rating 1. The Killing of 3k Crows 2. The Love Last Two Minds 3. Winter Begonia Fantastic news! The dramas I like are rarely popular whilst the ones I can't get into at all seem to be topping all the charts so this is nice to see the opposite for once 21 hours ago, pristineqi said: In the above interview, they informed that they used their own original voices in the drama. I could hear Zhao Lu Si was using her own voice as she has a slight lisp so I can always tell when it's her speaking as opposed to being dubbed. Zheng Ye Cheng looks much more youthful here in his casual clothes. His look in the drama makes him look more mature. 18 hours ago, galea said: Aye, the page on Avirtualvoyage also mentioned, and I quote: "In ancient China, crows were believed to represent the Sun.

I just read the Virtual Voyage post and it cleared a few other things about how and why the male lead fell for the heroine and what the scenes in the red outfit and drum were about. Very helpful!

sken40 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I watched their BTS video ...he is so matured person and doesn't play around as much Zhao Lusi. This girl is a such a clown and she's so easy going person...she's playing, singing ,and dancing around like there is no tomorrow. She has really great chemistry with all his co-stars...she remind me of Zhao Li Ying and Park Ming Young ....these are girls have magic touch when it comes to onscreen chemistry.

But somehow I found spoiler in Weibo that Er Meng is not orginary person, he kinda look like a general or prince? And he’s indeed great because he protect Chuan Er from big rock right? Can’t wait for tonight, we will have premiere episode 7 and 8 in YouTube. Excited... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfairy Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 They are so adorable!!! Love those BTS videos. Do they use their own voice in the drama too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiaGia Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I watched to ep 6, and so far I'm liking it. I feel the pace is a little slow, but hopefully it picks up soon. Lol, I thought the princess and the FL are the same person; but turns out they're not. They are two different actresses. The FL Zhao Lu Si is so young (only 21) She's so bubbly and cute bts, while Zheng Ye Chen is more calm/mature---But they're so cute. So far, I really like all the characters------They bring a little something to the table. Like, Er Meng---his character is pure and funny ( Spoiler although he's going to reveal his true identity. He's actually a prince, and is at Mt. X to get the lamp to defy his brother??? Also, I really like the teasing between the OTP-----the flirting and when they're together on screen---Really cute!!

GiaGia Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I saw up to ep 10, and there is some plot development^^!!!! So, we found out Er'Meng is the Spoiler 2nd Prince of the Demon tribe!! Which wasn't surprising, because I read the spoiler beforehand. Now, her first love regained his eyesight and lost memory. Maybe it just me, but I haven't seen any chemistry between the ML and FL----Looks like Er'Meng have chemistry better with FL lol. Maybe it's poor directing/editing or something, but it's only ep 11 so far----So, I hope the chemistry will develop more when she realized her feelings for him. I wondered if they are going to talk about how he loves her for 1000 years??? That would be interesting to see. How did he finds out that she is the love of his life???? I mean, he's a Sage and all, but those little details is something that I want to see happening on screen. It's 30 ep, so it looks like we're half quarter through......I want to see more actions^^!! I read ch 1 of the novel, and it was nice to see they kept the part where Qin Chuan first went to the Sage mountain, and her and her friend saw ML for the first time----And then her friend fainted lol.....That was funny!!!

omiki Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Yes, it seems so. Thursday and Friday - two episodes each. Last week was episode 1 to 10, and this week was episode 11 to 14. Feels like too few, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria_m2me Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I watched this drama premiere via youtube every Thursday and Friday, but yesterday ep 7 and 8 with english substitle. Honestly I really want Er Meng is sincere towards Chen Er, please don’t another “I just use you” plot please... I ever saw the spoiler that showed her first love remember about her and called her Yan Yan, but why he came back with that envy bad princess? And why he became kind toward that richard simmons? And he also sold the gift that Yan Yan gave to him... And in the latest preview, he’s with the evil prince? sorry I need more spoiler please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omiki Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Xuan Zhu was injured, so QC reminded ZC about how when he was blind, XZ looked after him, so it is only right that this time, he should take care of her in return. So he brought her back to recuperate. Along the way, XZ was feeling cold, so ZC sold his hairpin, as he had no money, to buy warm clothing for her. ZC’s Father was the prime minister of Li Guo (Li Country). He betrayed his country and helped Tian Yuan Guo to defeat Li Guo. ZC was not aware of his father’s plans before hand. They are now subjects of Tian Yuan Guo, so the Crown Prince knows them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linh5000 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I just finished the novel. I'm debating if I should dive into the drama. From the glimpses I got, it seems to be a bit different from the original story line. Can anybody verify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
