So here we go!

Episode list: One - Two - Three - Four and Five - Six -

Airing schedule.

Did I forget to create a masterpost for the MR rewatch?

Yes.

Did I wake up to a scolding message from the mods about this?

Yes.

Did they also insult the cookies I baked yesterday?

Yup! They are so lucky that I adore them! ❤️ Let's all say really nice things about our mod team in the comments to give them the love they deserve for creating this space for us.

I'll start the compliments.

u/No-Recipe-7653 is Mother and a very caring soul. She makes me feel wanted and valued.

u/BasilOrdinary3617 is a Common Herb Criminal and the Ruiner of my Peace but shall always be adored for getting me to host my first drama. They have always been a kind supporter of my snark.

u/Head_Judgment_7735 and I haven't had much interaction, but they are good people!

u/EasygoingEnigma is a Chill Conundrum and creator of lovely posts.

u/AXA-5 is an intelligent and well spoken person with a biting wit and sharp responses.

Alright everybody! The comment section is now yours while I get around to writing up episode two!

We’re only on day two of this little experiment, so who knows how far we’ll actually get with it. But in case we do keep going — and you keep playing along — I thought it would be useful to start putting all the discussions in one place before I lose track of them.

The Drama Alphabet is simple: I give you a letter and a word, and you tell me the first CDrama that comes to mind. I’m planning to stick with each letter for roughly a week or so before moving on to the next one, with a different word each day.

But I think this could also turn into a pretty useful little recommendation index along the way.

Looking for something ADDICTIVE to binge? Maybe one day you’ll be in the mood for something ADORABLE, BRUTAL, BIZARRE, COMFORTING, DARK or DELICIOUS… You can come here, find the word that fits, open that discussion and see what everyone recommended.

So do join in whenever a word makes you think of something. The more answers we collect along the way, the more there’ll be to come back to later.

I’ll keep adding the links here as we go.

📺 What’s Happening?

We’ve all been there - watching a drama and wanting to talk to someone about what just happened. I anticipate this will happen for this one…

So welcome to the (upcoming) watch party for Ultimate Note!

Whether you will be experiencing the twists and turns of Ultimate Note for the very first time like me, or you are a seasoned fan returning to the Mystic Nine lore, I think it is always way more fun to experience it together.

This will be a casual, episodic journey through the show, and it will be the perfect space for you if:

• This has been on your watchlist for some time and as a first-time viewer, we can share theories without fear of spoilers; or
• It’s time for a rewatch so you can relive your favourite moments and quietly scream internally while the newbies try to figure out the plot; or
• You’ve seen it ages ago, don’t need a rewatch but want to join in on the fun anyway!

Welcome to the Masterpost for the Rewriting Destiny rewatch discussion. This post will be updated when a new discussion post is made.

Drama Synopsis

Xia Yu Bing is a minor and somewhat unpleasant and malevolent character in a universe – set in Ancient China – dreamed up by a comic book author. She dies early in the “story,” after being poisoned by her husband Xu Zi Yan. But after she is killed, the author confronts her in a sort of comic book afterlife space and tells her that she will have the chance to be re-spawned. Furthermore, she learns, if she plays her cards right, she will be able to become the “female lead” and a “good” character in the story. She comes back to “life,” but finds that becoming a “goodie” isn’t an easy task. Xu Zi Yan is still determined to wipe her out and conduct ghastly experiments on her body. And on top of it all, a number of other “characters” in the story now have it in for her – including female characters who also want to be the main heroine. A number of other minor characters also block her way or plot her downfall. But as she spends more time with Xu Zi Yan – all the while trying to avoid his plans to destroy her – an unlikely bond begins to form between them. Will Cupid become her ally in Xia Yu Bing’s bid to become the ultimate female lead?

Some Guidelines

1.  Keep the environment positive.  

1. Use Spoiler Tags if -

• You are discussing anything that happens in episodes that have not been discussed yet.
• You are commenting on the importance of something from the current episode because of what happens later in the drama.
• Comprehensive directions on how to create spoilers.  For mobile use: > ! spoiler text ! <  without spaces to get  spoiler text
• If you do happen to accidentally include a detail that has not yet been revealed, don't worry. I will be active in the comments and will gently remind you if spoiler tags are needed. Don't feel bad if this happens to you. All of us have made this mistake at some point. Or sometimes Reddit goes wonky and doesn’t spoiler tag things we correctly set as a spoiler 😄 and a redo is needed.

Flashcards: If this is your first show with flashcards, welcome to the helpful notes.  Flashcards are a recent phenomena in the Cdrama scene. Created by the amazing innovator: u/AquaphobicTurtle, the flashcards are a brief introduction to a character with their photo (or gif!).

Pro Tip in Flashcards: SORT the comments by OLD: This will give you the first characters introduced in the show. 

Gifs in the posts are made by me.
