But for that actually I think when you like or care for a person… just any normal person/situation… one would feel disappointed/kinda hurt when not picked though… I mean, it’s human nature…. so… I personally really don’t think it’s love yet… and furthermore YXW is gentle/kind by nature… her character is softer… At least perhaps my character is also somewhat similar in this sense, doesn’t mean I love the dude….

And I think she was well aware all along coz as much as they talk about his “love tree” growing, hers was the same as well but instead of allowing it to full bloom it kinda took 3 steps forward, 2 steps back for her due to his actions and words. I mean, he is ultimately a very selfish person just coz he is a natural psychopath and just never really grew up emotionally. So her liking him has never been allowed to fully bloom into love yet and hence why she always has been pretty logical, never really losing sight of the ultimate goal and never once wanting to just stay there forever with him.

So the proper English translation stops there. LOL. Like it’s still being translated currently. There is like a translation in the Discussion section which is completed but the English is kinda weird…. It doesn’t look like 100% MTL… I think it’s probably a mix. I tried reading it but it’s kinda distracting so I stopped.

Ah, in the novel that sub-scene was actually very short, TTJ did find out about the eye… and she actually jumped off the tower instead of like the series whereby they floated upwards…… (and all the crazy CGI started)? Which I thought was kinda weird.. and actually this was all that she said before she was continuously hit by lightning and fell/jumped:

On the tower, Su Su’s eyes became gentle and warm. She was still in darkness and said, “Even if it’s karma, I’ve paid you back with an eye. I’ll take away your evil bone and return to you the divine marrow. We have long since not owed each other anything. You hate me so much, and I used to hate you the same. But this entanglement, up until now, only feels ridiculous. Treat all the things in the past as an ill-fated relationship. I only wish that for now and forever, even at the end of darkness, there won’t be you.”

So in the novel, unlike the TV series, there was a lot more misunderstanding. So TTJ didn’t actually know she wasn’t YXW and wot her ultimate goal is etc…

Yea, for me episode 28 defo wasn’t as emotional as how most of the MDL posters felt, but it’s obvious I’m in the minority. I watched it and actually felt….. nothing. Lol. And was wondering wot all the hype about the “tower scene” was about.

Yeap, it was the same in the novel. It was actually even more obvious in the novel. But there is a fine line between differences in viewers/readers perspective. So I personally understood from both the novel and the series that she defo grown to care and like the ML due to the time and effort she has spent on him… like it kinda is somewhat a natural human response BUT it’s obvious it isn’t love. That was made very clear. And obviously to add to the mix there was genuine hate/contempt as well which was more apparent in the novel, thus she has been always clear on her ultimate goal.

TTJ on the other hand…. I actually felt is kinda different in the novel, so I thought the screenwriters did a good job by mellowing the whole sadistic nature… and hence why I think the novel’s rating/reviews are quite polarising as well, not everyone liked it, i.e I didn’t. I don’t know if it was the way it was written, but like TTJ didn’t really say or do enough for readers to have the overly extreme sweet side to go with the crazy sadistic side. I think the author was trying to highlight a psychopath’s nature….?

Also, I thought the screenwriters were quite wise in clearing up most of the misunderstandings relatively quickly in the TV series… so they didn’t really do that in the novel, like the whole tower scene in the novel she actually didn’t explain herself on why she was doing wot she did etc. Hence why it wasn’t actually love love kinda thing, but it’s obvious she cares about the dude.

Lol. I’m probably one of the minority that thought it was an overuse of CGI for that scene, so that actually didn’t happen in the novel. So the screenwriters added all the dialogue there which I thought was a better idea BUT…. The crazy use of the CGI for that tower scene was….. I don’t know…. So I went to read the novel for that part, my emotions were defo way more intense when reading the novel.

Thanks!! It looks like a super painful arc again though….. I was hoping for some sweetness. Sighs.

People… where is everyone watching trailers from? I only got to see like Ep 29 trailer on YOUKU, how did some manage to watch 30-31? I can’t seem to find it at all!

Where did you watch 30-31？ I can’t find it at all…. Only 29..

Yeap. Truly “oh no”… Netflix has totally spoilt the world with the concept of binge watching the entire series. I’m depressed and tormented now so I’ve resorted to reading the novel midway. 🤣

This is torture… is there anyway I can erase my memory and rewatch while waiting for the drama to be fully released? 😭😭😭

Ah yea, I didn’t quite get the whole phrase of “tower scene” when I was scrolling through MDL, even after watching it…. I… didn’t really feel as much as all of the other posters thought… now I see that it’s likely emotions displaced from reading the novel…

I think not yet, she likes him because affection has defo grown given all time time and effort she forced herself to spend on him…. But it’s not love yet for sure.

For sure it’s the 2nd one! 🤣

Oooo. That couple was good… esp they were quite young casts and relatively inexperienced actors. They actually look really good together visually, and I think Sun Zhen Ni pulled off a pretty multifaceted role.

1…… 😭

I didn’t see it that way though, I think he knows they are all different people, coz if we went by this logic… YXW = someone else, which was wot she has told him and they have the exact same face.. and he saw that face when he saw the scene of “himself” like gripping her by the neck.

lol, I want to hit myself for starting… (yet again) without having the drama complete airing first… sighs, I held out for so long. Shitz, should have held out for another week, until only 2-3 episodes left.

I’m also super curious about this, but it looks like it will drag on though, she seems to have colluded with someone else… and I think TTMingLang isn’t dead.

I actually felt that as much as I also hate misunderstandings… most of them here were surprisingly cleared up because they talk about/admit it like after 1-2 episodes. I think the only one left was TTJ (along with everyone else) didn’t know about the poisoning thing…. I was surprised she REALLY did keep to her word and told him about his future and why she did everything.

On YXW’s part, there was actually no more misunderstandings anymore…. It was more of harsh reality hasn’t changed…. And regardless of the misunderstandings, Affection has defo grown, but she knows who he ultimately is and it most defo hasn’t blossomed into love yet… so the feeling on her part are defo ambivalent.
