is it just me, or LX at present time look taller than his three years ago? I wonder if it is the hair or his clothing…
what I truly love about the show is that there is not a single moment for characters to be inconsistent with their role. I hate it when there are out of character moments in drama just for the sake of plot. LX and ZY are endearing and I love how LX is always strict with himself and others but has a soft spot for ZY.
is it just me, or LX at present time look taller than his three years ago? I wonder if it is the hair or his clothing but he really looks taller. I'm loving the changes
To those who read the novel do you know if her parents will finally accept LX as her husband to be and if they will ever apologize for all the bullshit they put him and their daughter through?
Is it a happy ending ? Does gr and joon gil get together ?
not together together. but they acknowledged their love in past and also work in same team now. so it is kinda up to us to interpret it. but no one died and everything worked out well in the end. considering they can't be together in another life, I guess being reaper and instead always together is preferable.
As expected HE. But could have been better. I wanted JG & GR have more screen time. Times like this I wish we could have another drama with this CP. Overall.. they are together so that's all that matters
I was hoping that the director/Jade Emperor was doing all of this (bringing them together, having JW work with…
yeah, I didn't mean that joonggil is the one having it hardest. but based on ep 16 trailer, he seems to have shouldered all of ryeon's punishments, and to be honest he is the only character that never got the chance for closure. he didn't even have his memories and I feel bad for him. not even knowing the one you loved most is right in front of you for 200+ years and also treats her cruelly. I can't wait to see his reaction when he realizes it. but overall I think ryeon has it hardest. despite her suicide being all for her husband in the end, even she realized that it didn't help joonggil. to be honest I held on watching from ep 14 but saw some clips of ep 14. It seems joongil lost himself entirely after her. and I'm not sure what caused his amnesia or being a reaper. I don't know if we got the answer yet. but seeing how he despises suicide I say he is pretty much broken too. so that's why I think ryeon's last case might be him. of course I might be wrong. but nevertheless, I want a HE for them together.
this drama is about second chances and survival. it will be too pointless and cruel if Ryeon and Joonggil don't get their own second chance together. I really hope the ending would be similar to the mystic pop-up bar or goblin and our couple finds their HE. i kinda feel like in the end, Ryeon has to save Joonggil.
I really want to start watching it the moment the drama airs, but given Cheng Yi's recent and constant record of sad ends in his dramas, I feel afraid to watch the drama before it ends, considering the novel also has a sad ending for Cheng Yi's character. I need a HE if it is gonna be 60 episodes of tragedy.
But i can understand your frustration because they switched roles.So in the novel he is kind of anti-hero (but…
I know what you mean, but I disagree that every adaptation is the same. take untamed, WOH, L&R, ultimate note or so many other famous adaptations. they weren't exactly the same as in the novel. there were changes, but the scriptwriters and main leads clearly understood the motives and characters of the novel. it is the basis of adaptation; understand it before turning it into a drama or changing it. this drama was great at the start but now it kinda feels like everyone just gave up. from scriptwriter to producer and actor. it is sad. I had such high hopes for it.

I'm not frustrated because they switched the roles. I'm frustrated because the scriptwriter clearly doesn't understand the concept of the story and its characters and their motivations for doing what they do. that's why even when they place some of the same plots of the novel within the drama, because of the change in characters, the scenes that once were epic, in the drama seem bland. for example, they used the same lines for Lanxi from the novel when he tells his father that he doesn't hate him, BUT his reason in drama is because he UNDERSTANDS and because his father is KING. the scriptwriter seems to use the words of the novel without understanding where they come from. LX doesn't hate his father not because he understands, but because he no longer has any feelings for the man except for him being the king and his father understood it clearly from how detached LX was. but in drama, they used the same lines of the novel without knowing why. LX at the beginning of the drama is called shrewd and cunning by bfx. he is a black fox for a reason. yes, he stands on defense, but he is very strong in defense, while here, he willingly let his father take away his inner power. I can perfectly differentiate between novel and drama. I even enjoyed the changes in drama since I felt the novel was too hung on war and politics, and the acting of the crew is phenomenal, but the character of LX simply doesn't fit with his motivation.
I'm sorry but in ep 34 Lanxi almost made me cringe with his sanctimonious act. srsly, even fj had a more compelling character than him. I'm not sure if it was the scriptwriter or Yang Yang himself that wanted Lanxi's character to change this way, but they ruined Lanxi's character in this episode. It's like they gave Lanxi's character in the novel to YWY and in exchange, gave YWY's character in the novel to Yang Yang. the difference and disparity are that this sanctimonious character doesn't fit someone who wants to rule the world. YWY in novel was able to be like that because he had no desires for anything in the world. if Yang Yang wanted this character, he should have as well taken YWY's role in the novel, not Lanxi's. I am not saying Yang Yang's acting is bad, on the contrary, it is so good I'm impressed, but it is misplaced! Lanxi's character and HC's character in the novel were almost identical except for LX's willingness to give up everything for only BFX. because to rule the world, you have to have ambition and greed and so far in drama Lanxi demonstrated non of it. it is like having all his powers is meaningless because he just stands still to get a beating. tell me, how can this character rule the world?? I'm really disappointed with the scriptwriter. the first half of the drama was wonderful for me but the second half is the complete opposite.
