I understand your rant. After already read the novel, this deviation can caused much question. But after I settled…
I am not a purist who expects adaptations to be exactly the same as the OG source. HOWEVER, the writers should still follow the original characterizations. They kept making TMS say all of these "fate is decided, we are ancient artifact so we shouldn't care about the rise and fall of races, following CP is to understand love, etc." in the beginning then suddenly TMS goes, "Aha I must go against TH and save them! For what? I don't know."😂 If they had set him up differently I would somewhat agree with his "plan". I see this as the desire to imbue higher ideals in a character. It is wonderful when done right. But frankly, this is supposed to be a love story - what is wrong in it being that? I wanted to see MXL accept DL ZM, them ruling wisely over the demon realm at peace with the others, having their kids, and still having that sexy push-and-pull fun. Oh well! I'll just remember the brilliance of the first 3/4 part and subtitute this ending in my mind. 😂🤡
This sounds so much better than what we got, they were doing so well idk what compelled them to give us this mess.…
Exactly! They did so well until ep.31 then the writers decided to go rouge by adding so many unnecessary scenes and this illogical TMS×TH plot. *still stewing over the many loopholes*
My guess is they want to go beyond a love story by attaching benevolence to TMS and collective races defying a supreme god plus destiny (and winning at that LOL)
Haha I am laughing in disbelief after watching the last four episodes. The writers deviating from the novel and introducing this benevolent TMS×order freak HT that wasn't in the book is the downfall of the last eps. So many subsequent loopholes created that I won't even bother pointing them out except the crux loophole. Why would TMS, a self-proclaimed detached artifact from the vicissitudes of life, care if HT decides to possess ZM to destroy all races for restoring order? He has no motivation to interfere. A statement he made in the latter ep confirms this because he said that he didn't care about humanity until he experienced a bit of it, but this only happened after he started scheming against HT already. They tried to make TM more noble than he is and HT stupid coz how could a supreme god not realize the trio's plan at the end. Also, poor DL ZM having to experience 10,000 years in the lava twice just to fill in the other obvious loopholes. They chose such a convoluted way to reach such a bland conclusion. The final battle in the novel between MXL with her chaos power and TMS makes more sense because the story started with them and they are equal in power to each other. It went full circle and doesn't deviate from the original characterizations. Also, MXL immediately accepted the merged DL ZM and XXC - acknowledging that he can have both darkness and light. That didn't stop him from being "divine" because he still follows his true dao.
Despite the story missteps in the last part, I still love this drama especially the cast. Props to ZBB, SZN and WD for embodying such range for all their characters. Their chemistry was superb. The supporting cast did really well with a lot of notable performances. I wish them all the best in their acting journey!
1. TTEOTM - Duh right? We are camping here. How can it not be 1st in the list? 🤪2. Lost You Forever - How can…
I remember now, he was the one BaiQian first fell in love with but another girl morphed to look like her and seduced the prince. This broke BQ's heart.

Oh I have a soft spot for Binbin since Eternal Love and LoveO20 haha XXC and MXL are the dream team. Maybe, don't FF his scenes so much. He is supposed to be an ice cold cultivator at first so he's stony but he does thaw out eventually coz how could he hold out against coquettish but brave MXL. Ep.37-40 will be fast tracked today and I'm excited for it. TBL is prolly one of the best xianxias in terms of world building and character development (even the side characters) I've seen in a long time.
Episode 35 is undoubtedly one of the best episodes, but let's be honest—the only truly remarkable part was when…
It's giving how dare you hurt my noble husband enraged wife energy and we are all for it! 🙌🙌🙌 I've been waiting for that scene and Zhenni delivered. 👏👏👏
Yeah, I think coz she went through the same thing. She has what is considered a loud, unladylike personality in c-ent so she had to apologize for a lot of ridiculous stuff. Now she is coming into her own and tries to stay true to herself despite the harsh industry she is in.
The fact that someone has actual feelings for him, and he just brushes it off, means to me, that he probably will…
Showing the feelings of a support character and with the bro reveal, don't typically bode well in dramas.😅 I agree that he'll prolly get her killed and only realize what he lost when she's gone. *sigh*
Yup I like his personality too. I'm guessing he was told to tone it down by his mgt but Lulu encouraged him to keep it real when he called her during his livestream. He relaxed after that.
