Mel~

I’m glad you’re back to reading the guide. It can be a bit confusing at times, more so if you haven’t read the books. Thank you for your reaction~~🫶🏻

For future reference, in Chinese, you pronounce an "x" similar to "sh" and a "q" similar to "ch". "Zh" is like a softer "j" Love these reactions!

The rabbit thing is true! And you will see a running thing of rabbit throughout the show

I want to really thank you for reacting to this series! I'm autistic and when I found the books for this story 6 or 7 ish years ago while I was still in high school, it immediately became one of my biggest special interests. I still remember reading the books for the first time before they had official translations, using fan translations- I spent a couple days non-stop reading, stuck to my bed with my eyes glued to my laptop, I was so captivated. It's still my favourite story and I never get sick of reading or watching it! So I'm really happy you're enjoying it, and I really love that you focus well and pick up on so many things that I never did the first few times I experienced the story. I'm so impressed by your analysis of each character and how they are so accurate. It took me awhile to really understand Jiang Cheng as a character (Wei WuXian's brother), but you are really understanding him well. Although he isn't my favourite character, I have a soft spot for him because of his complexity, and his love for his siblings reminds me of myself haha - Anyway, I wanted to let you know that, yes Jiang Cheng really does center his family in his life, like you analysed. This is even more evident when you look at some of the soundtrack. There is a collection of character songs, sung by the actors who play a handful of the main characters. And the character song for Jiang Cheng is titled 'Hen Bie' which a very direct translation of can mean 'Hating to Part' and the song's lyrics are about the complex emotions of being alone, missing one's childhood and younger years and the people in them, etc.

The spins are really important to showcasing their hair and clothes. Plus it makes them look super cool hehehehehehehe

Nie Mingjue is the older brother and sect leader of the guy Wei Wuxian befriended at Gusu

You continually noticing how smart Nie is makes me so happy! I'm constantly impressed by how much subtlety you pick up. Thank you for another great reaction! Also, some of the best episodes to come are with the 3 siblings!

I love how possessive and jealous Lan Zhan is, like you can tell he's pouting internally when Nie Huaisang appears 😂 that was supposed to be his date with Wei Ying 😔

X, Q, and J represent sounds we don't use in English, but they are similar to SH, CH, and J, so you can just pronounce them that way. (If you're curious about the difference, they are made with the middle of your tongue off the roof of the mouth instead of with the teeth.) So, Qing = Ching, Xue = Shwuh (E in Chinese often sounds more like UH, so Jiang CHUNG, MUNG Yao, etc. ZH sounds like Eng. J, so Lan Zhan = Jan

In Chinese mythology, the Rabbit God is the god of forbidden lovers, which includes same-sex lovers, so rabbits have become a symbol of homosexuality.

Looking at Wei wuxian and Lan Zhan, who would say the actor of Wei Wuxian (Xiao Zhan) is 6 yrs older than actor of Lan Zhan (Wng Yibo)!

The deal with WWX and MXY's body isn't really explained in the show, so I feel like any headcanon will do. Mine is that WWX did take over MXY's body, but the spell (or just WWX's op soul) reshaped the body to look like WWX.

avaseofpeonies

Oh also, A is never long. It's always either like the A in "tall" or the A in "tan", but never like the a in "hang". I think you've been pretty good about that one though 😄

Pratiksha Majee

I see it as MXY sacrificed his body and WWX was resurrected with MXY spiritual energy in him due to the sacrifice but WWX is back in his own body, hence the mask and hence Jiang cheng's whip not working since WWX isn't possessing a body but is back in his own body with th slight difference of carrying MXY's spiritual energy.

avaseofpeonies

That works too, although in the novel, JC's whip didn't work because WWX is now the rightful owner of the body as it was gifted to him by MXY.

Oh, people rarely comment on the character songs, but I love them so much because they tell the characters’ stories perfectly.

Cato

Oooh this is just the beginning of the story. So excited for this journey.

It will become more and more interesting after this episode. I'm soooo excited)

I've come back to watch your reviews of the first episodes and love your work! But in reviewing them, there's a block over the translations. I don't know what they're saying because that screen says either Chinese or speaking a foreign language. It isn't as satisfying as the original view. I still love your comments and analysis!!
