He was not, but you know that in the past in China it was ok to have multiple "wifes"... but in this story it was important for them to be monogamus to emphasise the sincerity of their relationship.

In the book Sang Sang is the representation of humanity and she returns in a way. The writer usualy writes books that are quite philosofical, and wanted to touch upon the idea that love and humanity beats everything.
So yest the light daughter does gain back her humanity and does remember her Sang Sang days.

Well, ok, for some reaso,n you think it's bad.
I think it did not turn out as badly, the story is mostly the same as the book, the changes that happened were at the end, and that was because they needed to make this season like the last one.
Initially, the script was not like this; it was more like the book, but because people flipped out and tried to cancel the show after Arthur left, it was not easy.
Aside from that, the acting was good, the story was as in the book, there are layers upon layers when it comes to the development, and the character development is also very good.
They made the TV series a xianxia while the book is a Xuanhuan, so obviously there were changes there as well, but it did not take away from the story. Plus, as a producer or filmmaker, it's not so easy to do what you want and how you want it when we talk about China.

They do kiss, but it's not like a full on western kiss, but they do on the mouth. I remember this bacause I saw the BTS scenes and they were goofing of and Dylan kept trowing water on her.
Then the Director said get close and kiss.

They are a couple, and in the book, she even has his child.
In season 2, they get married.
But the development of the relationship is intentionally made slow, and because of the character development and how layered the story is, things could seem a bit strange on the surface, but the relationship is actually representing a very profound and mature love.
While Ning Que's other interest is more based on hormones and lust.

In season 2 there is skinship, they even get married and sleep together...

Dylar actualy portrayed Ning Que well, because his character changes in the book as well, it's not that Dylan did not portray Ning Que as Arthur did , but more that there is a strong character developement and also it's because his developement is directly proportional with the story and the enemy he fights. In season 2 after Sang Sang is so vulnerable he becoms very aware of how powerless he is, comparet to the univers and all the God like enemies. He is someone on the road of becoming strong but he did not reach that level, so his character changes.
It's why I think this show is a masterpiece, because it's so good with the character developement and how the event affect everything, plus how layered the characters are and the story is.

From what I know Ning Que breaks through Hao Tian's persona, if I remember right, she gets Sang Sang's memories, it's more like she has awarness and she becomes like Sang Sang. I took it as they blended together, both remained, I never took it as Sang Sang being forever lost.

Because there was supposed to be 3 seasons but because of the viewers they changed the second season and decided to make like an ending.

They had 3 seasons maped out from the start. the main actor (Arthur Chen) left because he went to study in America.
From book to film there is not the same language, the books tell a lot of stories while films show, not everything translates well from writing on the screen, they showed the same things differently, it's why the characters are so layered and why they have such huge developement, the same with the story.
Both season 1 and 2 were good, even though there were some changes from the original source, it's understandable since the fan base was a bit problematic.

Well if you are asking if Dilan is as the character in the book, then yes. Ever Night is a book that has it's action taking place in a long span of time (years and years).
The character at first is arogant and confident, but in the second season/ middle of the book, he matures and becomes wery aware of his lack of power in saving his loved one (Sang Sang). Plus the guys that go against him are God level, so his oponents are way stronger.
The way they chose to film this is very layers and important, I saw it went over a lot of viewer's heads and they did not catch how the characters were created or by what they were defined. For example Sang Sang and the other girl had their characters built in antithesis (and they are supposed to enphasise how oposite the two are, one is olde the other is way young, one looks like a mature woman, the other looks childish, one is always well kep and dresses in white, the other is alway dirty, one is feminine and elegant the other is not. one atrackts the ML through her obvious beauty in a lustfull way, while the other is a life partner that means way more to him edmotionaly. They are complitly oposites, and one exacerbates the characteristics of the other (Sang Sang) at the first look.
I saw many say that it makes no sense that the ML chose Sang Sang over the other, because they were too blinded to see what was Sang Sang's worth is. But this was an intentional thing, and that is why I say the characters are layerd and so is the plot/story.
Dylan did a good job, I liked the second season, and I wish they would have done the third one as well.

From what I read he left because he had something in his real life, like he went to America to study and enroled at USC in the School of Cinematic Arts.

Are they making season 3?
Years ago when this show started they did say they have 3 seasons maped out, but then the main actor had other things to do and left, and the second season was kind of sabotaged buy some angry viewers, even if the actor did a good job. They also changed the plot from the novel.
And for years now there is no news about a third season, even if there should have been one.

There were supposed to be 3 seasons of this show, but things did not turn out well because the fans were angry that the actors were changed. So they finished the story with season 2, but obviously they changed everything compared to the novel.
In the novel Sang Sang was cursed with "the cold" and kind of set up (for people to think she is bad and the one that will bring the Eternal Night), but in reality she is the child of light. She also gets pregnant and had a child.

I think they were disperate and also weeak since they were grieving. I think the "aunt" or someone edvised them to do something and try to get rid of the debt KSR left behind for them to pay back.

No, they were not criticizing him for what he did, they were criticizing him for what they think he did since they have 0 evidence.
The majority jumping to point their finger are people that project their thought on others and they take out their hate because they don't have anything else to do and they can't achieve anything in life, they are jealous of people that work hard and build something.
My country even has poetry on this subject because it's that true.
The only people that want to tare down others are the ones that never worked hard to build something and never achieved anything in their life.

What reality? This is just a small thing, nothing permanent :)) lol

You need to understand how legal things work. This is nothing. The final verdict will take place when the case is closed. No one lost anything yet...

His popularity is not fading, he still has number 1 Korean actor in popular votes, just recently and this is (115th round). So Koreans are still voting for him.

Well his lies had to have consequences.
