peng-peng:
While they are angry and full of hatred in the mdl. XL had given XY his blessing. They are not accepting that the drama did not give them what they have been preaching since s1 ,that is the drama will sure change the ending . I guessed TH refused to have the romance story to be change as well as the fate of the characters.
I am glad these remained in the drama
The story of the 3 of them and Cang Xuan is what I consider the core of the whole story. So to change something as huge as XL dying is incredible to me. It's not just because he dies; it's all of who he is as a character that leads to his death that is worth reading and watching. I can understand that if one loves this character, one wouldn't want him to end that way. That's part of the pathos of this character and why his death hurts. But yeah, the anger directed at another character or actor or even other fans of the story is just crazy to me.
The drama's second season was changed already (namely, CX's character) - I'm rewatching the last part now, and it really isn't a horrible story, but it's not the LYF I know and love from the novel. Changing his character led to other characters being sidelined (Jing, Xinyue and even Fenglong to name a few).
