Spoilers ahead!

I just want to comment on the amazing story, dialogue, acting and music that delivered such an emotional touching rollercoaster ride for me. Some notable moments in episode 41:
1) When YunHe gazed down at frozen ChangYi asking him to tell her his dreams when she gets back, with tears running down her face, and when she walked away from her friends, her face crumbling - Dilraba has never failed in delivering the right emotions
2) Again when YunHe tried to smile through her sadness but her eyes gave it away, and LiShu telling her not force it, she looked worse smiling than crying - Dilraba is just that good...again being able to emote so well.
3) Again Reba's great acting when she looked like she was really being strangled :D
4) When SanYue told LiShu that he was right - when the two people just reunited, only to experience life and death again , it was really too cruel for them, and LiShu agreed, saying how can CY and YH bear to make such a decision as he frowned back at SanYue, knowing that the same thing will happen to them.
5) ShunDe's absolute evilness turning LHQ and the WanHua Valley folks, as well as the Palace disciples into puppets. Cristy Go is such a great actress - she really made my blood boil with just her expressions alone!
6) Very effective background music (new pieces as well as familiar ones)
- I felt my tension building when the TianJun was going to fix the lantern,
- I even started tearing up when the two immortal deities Fei Lian and Lei Zhi joked together as they prepare to sacrifice themselves to fix the lantern while the young TianJun teared up, telling them not to do it...
- When LiShu was talking to his grandfather asking about the Thunder River and Sky Fire... I really like the music!
- When LiShu released the SkyFire and when the battle started...the music is very John Woo-like...
- Song of the woman humming when San Yue saw LiSHu evaporate...
Of course whenever the song #如你所想 (As You Wish) that starts with "Hey..." played, my tears started again...
6) Great choreography - when ChangYi came flying in and so smoothly swept YunHe into his arms...I am like Yeessssss! Other plus points during this scene:
a) ChangYi's face - ah lovely beautiful ChangYi - staring at her so intensely!
b) Another variation of the opening song - a more jubilant version - love it!
