agree.. the music was so meh for me but now it has really grew on me... i think the melancholy sadness/regrets feeling of the ost fit the later half more than the first half where we were still at the build up.

Yes I got impatient and read the chapters from the wedding to the tower scenes. They can cut out the r&pe scenes, those aren't necessary. But I wished they emphasized how much pain YXW is suffering from the World-Overturning Jade. It really drive home the message when YXW say she suffer FOR him. TTJ suffered all his life, but at least YXW is the only who suffer FOR him even when she is trying to kill him.
I wish the show show how how spiteful TTJ he can be because YXW betrayed him. And it make more logical sense. Right now the drama just show him like an abused puppy. It doesn't feel angsty or right. I just feel bad for him. He didn't deserve it.

I agree. The OST for this drama didn't do it for me. We need at least an epic song for all the grander scene and I felt whatever song they used fell flat.

That's a nice details. Was this in the book? Hopefully they will reveal that.
But I still think YXW should suffer a little more - or was shown that way. It would make the angst hurt more later for TTJ. Just a personal preference

In the novel, he chose YBC to spite YXW and make her jealous. Secondly, in the novel there was this soul-sucking flag nearby which he knew would take care of the brother and save YXW on time. YBC in the novel at this point is also a lot closer to TTJ. She live in his harem and even risked her life to save him, so there was reason for TTJ to choose her, even if it just to spite YXW.

In the drama - I don't know how they going to pull it off.
Even if TTJ think the bracelet will save YXW, there was no reason to risk it when he don't care about YBC.

Unpopular Opinion: I don't like how much they made TTJ suffered in ep. 27. YXW should be suffering more because she drove those 6 nails into his heart. Why did TTJ suffering senselessly?

I think it really kill off the angst when the inevitable tower scenes happened. I don't feel like TTJ deserve it anymore, but rather how pitiful he is. The best angst is when the character somewhat deserve the angst. Right now YXW just look so cruel. TTJ is still so nice to her after what she did. I feel like this change in the drama was a misstep. They over-whitewashed him. He shouldn't be suffering this much, he should be torturing YXW which make sense for YXW to want to kill him even more, and then TTJ would regret everything he did. Bam! Punch in the gut kind of angst.

Because right now, what did TTJ do that is so bad? Nothing.. I know they killing us with the angst and blood spitting right now, but the angst could be made so much better too. What a miss opportunity.

cinematic climax..
but you notice that the 9th pin doesn't appear until the wedding night... maybe that's how she thought would produce the last one, where TTJ show his full commitment to her.

These two episodes are so intense but it perfectly summed up this drama for me.

Damn, this couple is so toxic that it make Chenobyl feel harmless. I don't want to glamorize toxic relationship but they are made for each other. The chemistry is explosive. First, they went through Bore life but learned nothing from MY and SJ relationship. Ironically, they replicating the EXACT same mistake - miscommunication, tragic death of family and revenge. Wtf? So was that suppose to be a warning for them both or for them to freaking duplicate the mistake? Why did we spent 10 episodes in Bore dream for this?

Secondly, they made XL death scene to be this a grand tragic scene that act as a catalyst for YXW extreme action but sorry, I feel NOTHING!!. XL and YXW had like no relationship this whole time and now I'm supposed to think that YXW (or LSS) feel so strongly about XL that she changed like this? I feel like grandma would have been the better catalyst than XL. As soon as LSS came back, she dropped XL like a hot potato and literally didn't give 2 cents about that guy.

Third, that kiss scene in the wedding night is so freaking intense. I don't know why I felt like that was the only glimpse where I felt YXW show her genuine feeling for TTJ. This whole drama - it was the only time I felt that YXU was genuinely real with TTJ - the moment right before her plan for his demise. Something about that kiss is so angsty and hurt my soul. Not because I know she's about to kill him, but I felt it was the only moment she genuinely love him. Ironically the only time she let herself truly love him was the moment before he has to die. And of course, that's also when the 9th pin show up. The two of them are so insane in that scene. Words can't even describe how I felt. Logics and plot hole aside, these two ate up that scenes and took my soul.

Then the moment at the end when she realized she had misunderstood TTJ - I felt so satisfied for some reason. At this point in the drama, I don't know who the real Demon God is. TTJ or YXW?

Unpopular opinion: I felt they had whitewashed TTJ too much. All the "bad" thing TTJ had done that push YXW was all "misunderstanding". The angst would have cut deeper if he did indeed do some of the bad things YXW think he did. Because right now YXW just look so "dumb" to me. I just can't. I want to love her and I know she came with a mission, but she been lovey dovey playing house that I totally forgot until episode 26. I don't know how I feel anymore. Girl ~ I feel YXW is the actual demon god here and not TTJ.

wow that was an intense 2 episodes... I have so much emotions to process

I don’t hate her. But despite the series moving fast I still feel like a lot of things could have been fleshed out - like YXW character.

I’m watching love so sweet again but now I’m starting to think of them as reincarnation of TTJ and YXW in the modern world. ML in Love so sweet is a little bit naughty and devil-ish too,. Feel like a healthy TTJ living his life as he supposed to. But still wrapped around YXW’s finger.

I mean TTJ is a much more complex character. The show didn’t really spend much on YXW- even her journey was about him, his transformation. This drama is a romance fantasy but it’s also more aptly a “young adult” series center around TTJ.

lmao even the actress think YBC is pathetic. that must be a new low

No xianxia/period drama is complete without an aesthetics date at the night markets under the lanterns filled night. Tonight was a candy feast - we finally have some not only sweet but tender and genuine moment from the two (at least from TTJ). I'm glad the drama is fleshing him out. In the beginning, he felt like a hollow person despite having a complicated past. Now he's filling up bits by bits with humanity that he truly deserves. I know how this going to end but seeing how TTJ slowly change is beautiful. Love is always beautiful in a way, even when it accompanied by betrayals. It's better to have love and lost than to never have love at all. That would be the worst tragedy. Seem like TTJ life is set to be a tragedy either way, just depending what kind. The empty, hollow, filled with meaningless pain. OR the Shakespearean kind - twisted, ironic but made him at least felt like he was once alive.

It's especially sweet and innocent how short their kiss was - felt so much like a teenager's first kiss, which is probably what it was for TTJ. It's the first time he experience the slightest real tender intimacy. It was short but I felt like that kiss scene was so well done.

I'm starting to feel bad for TTJ. Even thought he's the one doing most of the killing in the show right now, strangely, I felt like he's the little lamb being lured into slaughterhouse with each passing episode, and our YXW is the cute and charming butcher. And the drama is pulling the wool over our eyes with all these innocent and sweet scenes. Maybe we ARE the sheep being lured into the slaughterhouse by this drama producers, so they can reap our hearts apart later. They setting the stage for maximum pain.

it's okay it's adapted from a book so there's obviously going to be a lot of spoilers. I see things here and there that might/will happen but I don't know the full context so I'll just wait to see it play out on the screen - because I think that's where the enjoyment come from, see how it play out.

Yeah this is a pretty big leap in logics. If we really want to bend logics for the drama sake, we can argue that her family wear pink glasses and simply thought their daughter had matured. YBC is busy with her own problem. TTJ barely know her for 6 months and did notice she changed since going to the temple, but then again, he don't know her well enough. XL is in a unique position where he had been her point of obsession since childhood, so he know full well all her schemes and wicked ways growing up as the spoiled daughter trying to get him. Unlike her family, he see her as the devil, and was glad when she stopped bothering him, thinking she fall for TTJ. But now she's helping him without asking anything in return, going against TTJ, so he started to have doubt on how such an evil person can suddenly turn good for no benefits.

omg no wonder i felt he look similar. i saw clips of that couples before. didn't watch the series since i heard main couples were not good. maybe i'll check them out. thank you

i don't read the book so i don't know that yet. That's why i didnt incorporate that part into my analysis because it hasn't happened yet. I'll watch that part when it come out and rethink my analysis given the context.

Is it just me or XL looks really good in black. First time I find XL attractive in this drama.
