So, I have finished reading the novel. I really hope that the drama will do the novel justice and remain true to the novel's ending, as sad as it may be.
If you are looking for a happy ending, then don't read the epilogue, or more acurately, don't read the third preface of the 18 year anniversary in the epilogue. If you want to experience the novel in all it's sad and true-to-life reality, then read the epilgue in its entirety.
The last couple chapters and the epilgue of the novel paint a very vivid picture of the harsh reality of living with and living with someone who suffers from severe PTSD. The realities of the aftermath of war are painted in a realistic and vivid picture. It paints a very realistic picture of those who come back from war with extremely damaged and fragile mental states. It tells the story of the internal and external struggle to continue going, to remain in reality as much as possible before the memory of all the horrors seen and experienced suck the sufferer back into a hellish nightmare.
The ending may be heartbreaking, but it is a painful reminder of the reality that so many men and women who have returned from nightmarish war zones have experienced and are still experiencing.
I truly hope that the drama can do this novel justice and remain true to the novel's realistic ending.
Oooh, this looks like such a good series. I was wondering how PavelPooh were going to top PitBabe, and this show looks perfect for them. It would be awesome if they could air it around Halloween.
Well, that was a total waste of time. The editing, camera angles, the dubbing, and the fact that the female lead actress barely opens her mouth when she speaks made this drama super hard to watch. The dubbing wouldn't have been that bad except for the female lead actress making it look like she is only mumbling her lines most of the time instead of properly pronouncing them so that they would line up with the lines spoken by the voice actor. This drama was a mess.
On the U.S. iQiyi app, it has been completely removed from the Coming Soon list. Since it is still showing up for you, maybe I will hold onto a faint sliver of hope.
One thing I will say, I wish we would have gotten a scene with Qian and Yuan playing with/cuddling Lili's baby. That would have been over-the-top sweetnees and cuteness.
Am I the only one obsessed with this series? I started this when ep 8 was out and since then I rewatched the existing…
This is one of the few series that I have watched each episode as it has aired instead of waiting a few weeks so I could binge watch several episodes at once. I love this series, and tomorrow after I watch the last three episodes, then I will start the series from the beginning and binge watch it all at once.
Welcome to the Mourn You Forever Xiang Liu Appreciation Society.We argue alot about how much XY knew about XL's…
I don't know if I can handle seeing live action Xiang Liu die. A part of me hopes that they kind of gloss over and minimize his death a little in the series, while the other part of me wants the whole tragic scene, including the epilogue, played out on screen so that all can mourn and grieve over our damaged and tortured anti-hero Xiang Liu.
Oh God! Just finished reading the novel and I must say I have never cried so many times while reading a book. I have never cried so hard for a secondary character. I have never felt so absolutely heartbroken over a secondary character such as I have been for Xiang Liu. I have never seen a more deeper love by a secondary character than what Xiang Liu has for Xiao Yao. One of the saddest things is Xiao Yao never knew of just how great Xiang Liu's love for her was. I have never sobbed so much and for so long over the tragic ending of a secondary character such as I have for Xiang Liu. Xiang Liu's last thought before going into the last battle where he knew he would die was this: " Xiao Yao, from now on I can no longer stand watch to protect over you, you have to take good care of yourself, wishing you a lifetime of worry free happiness." He made sure that Xiao Yao could protect herself, he made sure Xiao Yao was never alone, and he made sure that Tu Shan Jing would always be by Xiao Yao's side. Only with this could he go into that last battle and die in peace, knowing that Xiao Yao would be okay. And he made sure that Xiao Yao would never know of just how deep his love for her really was. Xiang Liu is truly a character who has left an indelible mark on my heart.
I don't know if I can watch season 2 after the absolute heartbreak that Xiang Liu has just put me through, but I know if I do that tissues will be a must because sobbing will be happening multiple times throughout the season. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭
Just started chapter 29 of the novel, which is where season 2 should pick up. I have never seen a tv drama so closely follow the novel before. Nearly everything that is in the novel is also in the series, and nearly everything in the series is also in the novel.
I will admit to being a little scared of what the second half of the book is going to bring me. I know some of it from reading comments about the novel over on season 1's page, and I know I will be sobbing at some point.
Or maybe July/August/SeptemberOr even October/November/December😂 😭
🤣😂🤣😂 Truth! I have watched the first season four times while waiting for season 2. How many more times I am going to watch it before the second season airs??
