- The actors all did an amazing job in this episode, especially the ones who played Wen Chao and Wen ZhuLiu. - "Return to Gusu with me." I think this line hurt me the most so far..I haven't read the novel so I am not familiar with the story and I might be missing stuff, but this felt like a confession and Lan Zhan got rejected right away, not because WuXian doesn't have feelings for him, but I think he wanted to protect Lan Zhan. At the same time, Lan Zhan wanted WuXian to be by his side and protect him from these wicked tricks and sorcery (?) I don't know how you would call this bromance only.. I BAWLED MY EYES OUT when Lan Zhan turned away to leave. Nah, I am not getting it. IS THIS LOVE? YEAH.
This one really got me. WHY AM I CRYING SO HARD?- First of all, that dark energy surrounding Wei Ying.. now I know things are going down hell for him.- Second, when Lan Zhan started humming the WangXian song, I UGLY CRIED! Probably one of the sweetest moments in the drama. Wished Wei Ying heared the name of the song!! T_T- Third, bro CHINA DID THAT like even with this drama being censored, you know these guys are IN LOVE with each other. Everything between them is done subtly and I am loving it immensely!- Forth, even though Wang Yibo's lines are not that many compared to Xiao Zhan, his acting is superb considering how young he is! His eyes only only can tell you how he feels. I love his acting a lot and wish to see him in another Wuxia drama.- Fifth, I am still questioning if Jiang Cheng really cares about WuXian or he feels that WuXian is a burden on him & in his way. I don't know but this thought won't leave my mind.
It is truly heartbreaking to see Wei WuXian this traumatized and doubting everything. That's a lot of guilt and burden for one person, and he is not the one to blame, but he keeps blaming himself. Seeing him willing to sacrifice himself for others and not for once thinking about himself and what the consequences are for this is devastating and heartbreaking. Wen Ning is an angel and has a pure soul. Why does every beautiful soul has to suffer? :/
