Ahahaha Jing is horrendous, but I was thinking it can't possibly be worse than 33 episodes of Love Me Love My Voice. Now that was painful. At least the movie has a plot.
Love Me, Love My Voice has a plot. It was just too flimsy to sustain 33 episodes of drama. I would not have made it through without you gals. Even then I was struggling to keep focus. I admit that I struggled to watch LYF. My dislike for Jing goes without saying and it wasn't helped by DW's constant half-smiling thing alternated with the mopey crying. I now find XY unlikeable and frustrating. XY and Jing scenes make me want to barf and CX's quest for the throne and his amateur plotting was a snore-fest.

Then why in the Chenrong hell did she decide to end Lost You Forever the way she did? It's the complete opposite of this empowering message.
The person who embodied this message was XL. He didn't let love cloud his judgment, he never lost his conviction, sense of honour and responsibility. He never lost himself. The rest of the crew can't say the same. CX lost the plot towards the end and if XL hadn't blown his deception to XY goodness knows if he would have stopped. Jing is unable to exist without another person validating his selfhood. XY was just the unlucky duck that he glomped onto. However, in his case, it wasn't love so much as a complete and utter lack of self that he was trying to replace. And our heroine flopped to the opposite side and instead of embracing love and dealing with loss (all a part of life), she ran in the opposite direction and "settled" on Da Huang's Flopest Man Alive whom she doesn't even love because even though she doesn't trust in love she was deadly afraid of loneliness and being alone. So empowering she was.
Ironic then that XL was the one that had to die. The moral of the story is: don't be too upstanding and brave because it doesn't get you much in return. Instead, be fake and cowardly. You'll live longer that way :-)
