I have now finished a season on 1 and I like the ML stories in that order : TSJ, CX and XL. I wish TSJ story was a little more developed to show us how smart he is and how much he helped CX.
XL got on my nerves because he did nothing for himself. He sacrificed some lives to XY which is all nice but I cannot help thinking , would he had done this if he did not have 9 lives and had already decided that he was going to die in his war? I am not trying to demish his acts. I see CX fighting his uncles , working hard to become king. I see Jing having the courage to go for what he wanted, voice his unwillingness to be the head of his clan, trying to break his engagement, going against his grandmother. Has XL ever tried to free himself from his adopted father wish? XL said that he is a free spirit but really he is not in my eye. I have seen comments insulting TSJ for not leave his family , not telling grandmother to f oof, but the same is not asked of XL. I would have loved to see scenes of him and his adopted father. I think if he was in TSJ shoes and his adopted father had asked him to marry let say YY, he would do it without complaining regardless of his love for XY because he own this man too much. If the man say die for me, he will.
This is why he is my least fav character. I only like him because of the actor who portray him. Again maybe I did not get XL character at all.
XY also annoyed me when she became the princess. She changed so much. Her relationship with her CX was like they never got separated at all. She trust him 100 % give him 90%, put him 1rst. What will she be give to the man who will make her his everything, never abandon her? Did she even voice that ?
I am looking forward to see them all in season 2 if I am still alive ?
I only be reading all your post . Thanks for this thread.
