The romance focused audience is the most blind audience that doesnāt focus on detail, a destroyer of good ratings…
Sry, but how was this ending more creative or original? It follows the exact same usual massacre of killing likable side characters off in the last episodes and SE for leads I've seen in other dramas lately. What was so creative about it?
A lot of things didn't make sense in this drama, so a HE wouldn't be nonsensical either. Also if I wanted to watch "real life", then I would go watch documentaries lol
I'm not against a SE per se, if it's not forced. But the trope to make the leads as miserable as they can, kill every loved-one off and eventually kill the leads... it's so sadistic lol
Even if it would've been a HE, this drama rapidly lost its momentum the moment the revenge arc was done. Even a HE couldn't have saved it...
Of course no HE for the leads, because that's forbidden in the Chinese historical or Wuxia universe lol Kill them all off! YES! Here we go again lol Sry, but it's just so ridiculous. One can't just watch a good drama without having the same lame ending all over again.
Still don't regret watching this. First half was a masterpiece, lead couple was on fire and acting of leads was amazing!
Neo went through strict diet to meet the requirements of director GJM as he prefers thin ML who can carry his…
They film for so long??!! And with thick layers? As a thin person myself, I would collapse... My gosh, I feel bad for the people who work in this kind of industry. I respect how actors do anything for their craft.
I saw some clips of his other dramas, but I think in this drama, he looks so completely different. I guess it's also part of make-up.
He was literally glowing in "When we were young" haha So his appearance here just caught me off guard š
I think i remember hmh fans said (correct me ?) gjm asked him to get a strict diet for this demon role, poor boy…
It definitely seems like a lot of weight-loss as well. He was really thin to begin with. I feel bad for him and hope he gets back to a weight he feels comfortable with. I respect the way actors do anything to their body for the craft, but imo he looked much healthier and better before. Still good-looking and great actor for sure. Just have to get used to it :D
Is it the makeup, weight-loss or PS? ML looks unrecognizable to me ... I only watched "When we were young" with him and I loved that drama. I was trippin when I couldn't recognize him here :O I mean... yeah it's been 6 or more years since that drama, but to change that much... I mean, he's still good looking, but he looked absolutely gorgeous in that other drama. Have to get used to this look of his. But it fits the character of his demon role very much :D
I was counting down the days to finally binge episodes 19-24, after being so busy I couldnāt catch up sooner. Today was *the* day and I dove in with so much excitementā¦ only to be left totally disappointed by how the story unfolded. Itās like I was riding this incredible high with episodes 1-18, only for it to nosedive, fast.
Not that they were terrible episodes, but they just didnāt live up to the magic of the first half. The whole Xiyan storyline felt so sloppily introduced and I honestly couldnāt care less. The revenge arc? Rushed and barely satisfying. And donāt get me started on the marriage plotāugh, it felt so out of character for Mei Lin and I just hate it.
So many things I didn't like about the latest few episodes, but I will keep it for myself...
I feel like I could just cryā¦ How do writers keep letting me down like this? Either I've become too picky and hard to please lately or writers just really don't know how to write stories that actually stay engaging all the way through.
I don't even care if it has a happy ending anymore š Itās kind of wild how quickly my attachment to a drama can just vanish. Yesterday, I was on cloud nine, totally obsessed with itāand now, Iām actually relieved that itās almost over. Just sad š„²
Am I the only one who had to laugh out loud when Yue Qin's eyes widened so dramatically while he read Zigu's letter? hahahaha I couldn't take it serious XD
Main leads are slaying with their acting, but the support roles are a bit weak in comparison. Still enjoyable, but you can see and feel the difference.
loll Wei: Erniu said you've been to the battlefield. JH: I lied to him. I don't dare to kill a chicken. How can I kill men? Wei: I dare... to kill a chicken.
JH face was hilarious when he said "I dare..." hahahaha
Main leads were way too happy in this episode and they talked about their life in the future... Gosh! This will most definitely have a SE š I tried to be optimistic, but it's really obvious now.
Not gone lie, the crown Prince love for Loumei is too touching, even though heās evil you can tell his intentions…
Pure? I think I'm watching something else š He's lying and manipulating her and maybe will take advantage of her while being intoxicated... No "love" in sight in my definition of love š
What are they doing to Hae Jun's character? This is obviously written to let the ML shine...
Sry, but as Hae Jun's character in OG version was my absolute fave, I'm sad they butchered his character... I knew it won't be the same but he is so much different here, that I actually start to dislike him a bit in this version. Man :'(
Some said Yueqin killed his brother, but in fact, he didnāt really kill him and just wanted the throne to have…
He didn't even flinch when the brother was killed. I'm pretty sure he knew exactly that would happen. Not saying that the brother was innocent, but it's a fact that YQ joined hands with shaman lady who killed her own sister, so that he can be the heir and can force Mei Lin to marry him...
Haven't watched Wonderland of Love yet. Will definitely do that! :D

The second half was such a boring mess and full of clichƩs. It ended with the usual massacre with killing every likable character off. And Luo Mei and her love for that mass murderer psycho CP made me sick to my stomach. That was so forced and laughable...
Of course no HE for the leads, because that's forbidden in the Chinese historical or Wuxia universe lol Kill them all off! YES! Here we go again lol Sry, but it's just so ridiculous. One can't just watch a good drama without having the same lame ending all over again.
