Agree with you..If we see in bigger perspective of mankind in this drama,Bai Jiu Si is the keeper of old authoritative…
ML will see experience her past and come to regret his actions and FL will see that ML have actually shielded her from punishment from heaven and took it instead of her . if the latter doesn't happen I don't see how it is possible fot her to let go and have a HE with ML. I am actually hoping they topple the Empyreans together so it means they don't ascend to a higher realm since it wont exist anymore 👀
To explain this double standards bluntlyMMC " chokes hurts and destroys FMC emotionally " audience 😢 poor bb…
it mirrors real life. Some women tend to be attracted to men who are villains , rape culture seeks to absolve men of wrongs and persecute victims. women aren't allowed to have complex feelings and thoughts . it's either hormonal or bitch.
In other dramas, when a male lead is deeply flawed, he’s often met with empathy and understanding but the same…
I saw this exact scenario multiple times. An Ml that would be a murderous maniac , a pathologival liar, or will cause a calamity to the entire human race but uwuuuu he is handsome and a baby and FL is the actual devil to not fall into his arms immediately and let people be slaughtered. most comments this direction come from women as well. an ML is allowed an arc and is sympathized with no matter the wrongs he does. but god forbid an FL isn't love brained and has a moral compass that goes against ML.
HRY is a rare FL indeed. She observed that not only there is injustice , but that it is systemic and her own kind is actually complicit. then she actually experienced being at the end of oppression by "heaven's laws". Her rage being directed at the ML is not only because ,from her perspective, he was the main reason she experienced the greatest loss in mother's life , that of her child, but also since he is one of old guards of the current oppressive system. so her actions is not only personal revenge imo but a will to topple a oppressive system. and that's why I think that at the end the real villains will be the Empyreans. She is also rare because of her careful planning , spanning over centuries. we rarely get meticulous strategists as FLs. Ultimately ,She will have to learn to forgive and learn to love again and that will be her character arc .
when a mother lose a child unjustly, she will go to extremely length to get that justice back, because it’s…
well said ! he needed to shift his perspective and learn empathy with those he once compared to ants in order for the loss of child to actually mean something to him.
We are really witnessing one of the greatest character development of an ML in a xianxia EVER. it's whole change in ideology . I think i never watched a xianxia where a philosophical theme be the primary focus of story progression . generally it's falling in love, meeting friends , loneliness , gods vs demons etc..
omg this ! so refreshing that their "feud" is about ideology more than just love stuff. i mean i know there is will be a child that is part of the reason but having ideology be the main part is a bold choice.
Its messed upbstory telling.. but so far this is one of few xianxia that i watch pass ep 3😅
I also am not a big fan of xianxia to begin with . last time I actually liked one with lost you forever S1 (we don't talk about S2 in this household 🤣) and that's not a xianxia even ,more like xuanhuan. but yeah I hated all the big ones people loved. This one actually breaks the codes. so it is interesting! well once you move past the first 10 eps
well said but i think the beginning was still perfect, because once we overlook some tiny details like the CGI…
well I didn't read the producer warning so I was like, oh a naive FL, a cold all powerful ML, the cliché SFL that is pursuing ML, the cringy sect that forbids love between immortal and demons for the heck of it. So yeah I was fully fooled 🤣. I say it was a mistake because I know that if this was released in a week where I was pretty busy I would have dropped it after the first 4 episodes , but I persevered mainly because I hadn't watched a proper drama in a while and had time at my hand. only for this to be the most surprising Xianxia in years. and as you said you ACTUALLY use your brains! that whole scene of them debating was incredible and made so much sense. I will learn to be more patient in the future 😭😭
I truly think they made a big mistake with the first 10 episodes pacing. Hell , I almost dropped it and gave it a 6 at some point. LITTLE DID I KNOW the following episodes proved that it is NOTHING like your standard tired xianxia crap. it has a BIG twist, characters that are way more deep than what I initially thought them to be (looking at you SFL). and the whole thing is actually a battle between two radically different philosophies of life and nature , properly layed out and embodied by the ML and FL. if this taught me one thing it is to not dismiss a show until halfway through. I really think the beginning was detrimental as I am afraid some watchers might have also dismissed this when in fact it has the potential to be a xianxia masterpiece.
I am actually hoping they topple the Empyreans together so it means they don't ascend to a higher realm since it wont exist anymore 👀

now I wish i started this later when all episodes are available cuz how am I supposed to wait
