Haaaaaa the necklace!!! I almost thought XL was just gonna find it on the table like in the ED. So glad they stuck with XL discovering it on his neck.

I'm kinda surprised they revealed HC's full face here... Was actually kinda hoping we'd see it when XL sees it in the next arc... Oh well I'll take it :')

HUA CHENG FULL FACE...GOOD LORD HAVE MERCY ON ME aaaaaaaa
I love the detail they add when Hualian sleeping, how San Lang really want to touch Xie Lian but decide not to and try to hold his own feeling & desire, dont worry San Lang you'll get your chance to hold him in ur arms later TTATTaaaa
But Hua Cheng and his immeasurable patience and self restraint is a on another whole level..respect for you man..
I also love how they potraying Dianxia statue "The Crown Prince Who Pleased Gods" it looks majestic and beautiful.
THE RINGSSS, my hearttt HUALIAN ARE MARRIED TYVM.
Also that screen where Xie Lian running inside the temple...when he smile and he thought he see Hua Cheng...It remind me of ******* I see what you did there Haoliners...stop hurting us.
I also kinda suprised that they're revealed his face now than in
, but im not complaining lol.

Finally HC face revealed and XL realized that SL is HC and the kid that he saved?
And finally SL gave XL crystal necklace exactly like the book not at the table.

and novel reader knew why SL left xD~

overall very satisfied with this adaptation, and waiting for S2. 800 more years (patiently sigh...)

umm nope, he only know San Lang is Hua cheng for now,
ik the bit flashback of Little HC at the end song thing can confuse other, but its more like service/flashback for the fans(who knows the story), it didn't actually from XL mind(?) Idk how to explain it, its like from third person view(?) just think of it like song from S1 ep 1 near at the end.

Right? I can see ppl getting confused over this especially who didnt read the novel. I can see Haoliners really giving service to tgcf fans and novel reader, with all the song and the beautiful extra scene, but to newcomers it can be really confusing.

Please note that Hua Cheng face reveal at the end is only for viewer(3rd person view), its treat from Haoliner to tgcf fans so we can see his unfiltered face now instead waiting on season 2. Xie Lian didn't even see his true form and face yet, evenmore knowing that Hua Cheng
. For now, he only know that San Lang is Hua Cheng the Crimson Rain Sought Flower and realize that the rings in his necklace is given from Hua Cheng before he left. So all that Hua Cheng full face view near the end song is not from Xie Lian eyes/view. Xie Lian will only see Hua Cheng face later on

They are also add a certain extra scene(which can make non novel reader or some newcomers confused) that actually overshadowing smthg.

If it wasn't a masterpiece then I don't know-

Actually there was only one part of novels they didn't put in (which I consider of being a hugeee impact) but instead, they caused my death with all the unexpected parallels in the ending. Overkill.

And I didn't expect FULL VIEW on Hua Cheng's real form this season yet-

My heart was already melting by the end of the episode and then...the face reveal.

DAMN, HC is hot af. I'm just gonna simp for him here.

Hualian conversations and interactions were so fucking romantic... Haoliners it's like "censorship who?"

I love how we are reacting like we had exactly no idea of how HC looked like hahaha

While most of the posters here are fangirling, I am pleasantly surprised they revealed Hua Cheng's face. Given, he doesn't look all that different than his "San Lang" alter ego.

I am hoping they will have a special episode for each season they do that covers things they can't in the main series. My hope is if they don't cover much of book 2 and 4, at least do so more thoroughly through a special episode or something.

well, he doesn't look all that different than his "San Lang" its because San Lang form is also his original look if he's in his 16yo, most fans(novel reader) already knew that, its just people hyped about his true form(the lastest one) because he looks more older and a whole man now lol, which gonna he will use from now on.

Actually just seeing great thread that explain this matter about why Hua Cheng doing shape shift, if anyone interested please check this out:

Yeah maybe that's why its better to read novel and then enjoy the donghua right?
Man haoliners are really satisfying us novel readers though............
It feels so complete and Hua cheng's appearance is damn fine!
And they revealed the face first because they seem to think their audience is more novel readers and this whole adaptation is for people who are dying to see hualian move and talk.......
so from my perspective If people read novel first.......... then this is the best treat they will ever get after~

hey but hasn't hua cheng always wore bandages?
was his eye fine when he was 16?
I mean when he was kid and when he was a soldier.......he as wearing bandages at that time too right?
So maybe this san lang appearance is only his younger self with an eye right?

While the ending scene seems like a big hit with the novel readers (and that is totally fine of course), it got me just confused haha. Since I look up TGCF tags online I know some stuff from the novel, but Idk if the studio is doing that great job explaining to the newcomers what is going on with the history there, so seems like the show is more tailored to the novel readers, which is fine just a bit of a shame imo that the confusion makes it harder for anime onlys to properly get into the show.

And I don't necessarily mean this as a negative thing, just what I was thinking seeing the final scene not knowing all the history between the two MCs. I was originally planning to read the novel alongside the show, watching the episodes first and then read the chapters that were covered but I feel like to get more enjoyment I should be reading the novel first and then watching the anime.

I agree that the problem for the newcomers in that scene is that the whole scene seems like it is from Xie Lian's POV, as if he is remembering the parts with the kid and somehow realising how Hua Cheng really looks? Which makes no sense, but the way it was directed with Xie Lian coming into the house and imagining Hua Cheng there in his true form, as if he somehow knew how he looked... if they set up that scene from Hua Cheng's POV, maybe starting that whole montage with him leaving the ring or something that would be fine I think, but making it just for the fanservice was just confusing as hell to me as a newcomer haha

As a novel reader I gotta say they know exactly how to add to the feels for our novel knowledge hearts aka when we had our hearts ripped out and stuffed back in AND I LOVE every second of it!


But that temple scene with the red umbrella they showed us a glimpse of...I hope when it does air as a full scene they'll stick to the novel to add the full impact of it.


Also, I think the sort of mv at the end with previous scenes and Hua Cheng's face reveal was sort of a double effect 'cuz they wanted to please the novel fans and rope in the donghua only watchers:
1. for us novel readers to pull on our full knowledge and bask in the feels of it all (and they certainly succeeded)
2. for donghua only watchers to make them hooked on Xie Lian & Hua Cheng with no chance of escape XDXD Kidding, thou not really XD
I suppose it's sort of a click bait - like, look - this is HC's real face! drool and wait for S2! And let's add some mystery as well to keep you completely hooked XD

Well, I suppose for #2 the random rain scene and the mv mix at the end might have been slightly confusing for donghua only watchers, but I'm pretty sure once next season comes out and as we slowly get to the full rain scene it'll be clear.


Ah, I hope they make 2nd season just as gorgeous because the animation was seriously off the charts beautiful and they also cleverly used cgi here & there and the ost was also lovely ^^

-i guess only the censorship got me confused there, since i can't tell if White actually has developed (more than friendship) feelings for Red at this point or not,
his character doesn't seem like the brightest, but the whole scene in the pit seemed to hint at things well enough,

but since he doesn't know Red is the kid he saved back then (the very first episode already told the viewers basically all of it anyway), i don't know if the little "clipshow" at the ending was supposed to just tell the viewer "this is the kid and he's mimicking how White saved him back then", or if it was supposed to be White reminiscing of the time he'd spent with Red thus far..

-i feel there also has been quite enough context clues throughout the first season and this special for the viewer to know early on already that Red was the kid and also the Ghost King (or whatever it's translated to).

i'm kinda 50/50 about Red's show of restraint though, guy's pining _x3

overall; this single episode hit my feels more than the first season did,
comparing it to Mo dao zu shi, it felt very slow and drawn out, but with nothing really happening during that time, and Red x White also felt like it got slapped on very early and quite strong...

also, felt like Red slapped himself over the head for giving White any alternative reason for why he appeared in that first episode, lol.
I like to comment Episodes as i Watch them.
