wang yue's appearance is literally the dream for demonic cultivator jiang cheng AUs. look at him. he's got the purple robes the hair wisp even the side braids that show up in every mdzs + cql hybrid design, i'm thanking the costuming department so very much
well, between the untamed and chongzi, congrats to wang zhuocheng for levelling up from "hot character in purple with 'absolutely does not fuck' energy" to "hot character in purple who looks like he could have anyone he wanted"

Why was this shot edited out? I really liked this view of both of them with their eyes closed. :3 It's one of my favorites. Instead, we got scenery while their dialogue continued.
Fans on the bullet screen started saying this move/pose was Mu Yu's thing. XD
🟣 SPOILERS FOR EP 27-29, BELOW AND IN TAGS 🟣
According to people who read the book, ChongZi would sleep in Tian Zhixie's arms every night to avoid the nightmares (both of them in the bed, not him on the floor... though that would have been interesting acrobatics😂). So this was a nice reference to that, since, in the drama, we only saw him holding her hand while she slept.
Finished The Journey of Chongzi today and I really liked it!
Watched it for Wang Zhuocheng and he's great in it, he's a delight every time he's on screen. But also genuinely liked the main character and her love interest, I was rooting for them!
Effects were done pretty well and there were a couple of good setpieces towards the end with practical effects. Also some kissing that wasn't just the most awkward pressing of lips together ever.
I think some of the side character tragic storylines were a bit underdeveloped. I cared about them but I could have had more.
Overall a very enjoyable experience, although it isn't quite making me go feral. I've watched a couple of dramas were I kind of tuned out a little bit or even skipped some stuff, and this had me engaged in watching pretty much the whole time.
