They should reduce some of the extra XL scenes (not in the book scenes such as the XL song) that were purposely added to boost XL's role.

I especially enjoy the last part of Episode 6 (season 2), when XY met and talked with Sang Tian Er (Chuan Zi's wife) the old old lady in Qingshui town.
I don't mind the extra scenes, although you are right, in the novel, XL is a bit less present in this part of the story (after the wedding crashing part). The drama has also fleshed out Jing's part of the story, which was mostly in the background in the novel (from his trying to figure out whose son Tian is and his dealing with FFYY and Hou).
I was waiting for Sang Tian'er to reappear, and I'm glad it was kept in. It's such an important moment for Xiaoyao, because she is then able to realize that in her relationship with Tushan Jing up to that point, she hadn't fully given herself to him. Like she said to Jing later, she could have helped him with his family's issues long before, but she was always guarding her heart and did not want to take any risks, whereas Jing was long ready to give up everything, even his life, for her.
So yes, as a Yaojing fan, I've been really happy so far. All the great moments (bitter and sweet) from the novel have been translated onto screen. :D
