Those words remind me of what A-Li said to his dad in Eternal Love Of Dream. LOL But yes, that would have been a nice ending.

And how long was that clip? Not more than 15s right? Sighs....

Ikr. Just a simple HE in line with the novel would have made all the diffence between angst and joy. Sighs....Hope you're on the way to recovery with your TTEOTM trauma too

I do not think the FL for TTEOTM is childish. She is torn between her mission to save the world / universe and her eventual love for the ML. Please give it a go but also bearing in mind this series was unforunately affected by the new rule of 40 episodes cap. It was originally supposed to be 56 episodes long.

I think it deserves at least a 9.5, ideally a 10. LOL

I think I was lucky that I did not watch LIS before. So each chapter is something new for me. :)

And for those brave souls who dare to rewatch TTEOTM. 🤪
Remember to do so if you have Netflix and the country you are is carrying TTEOTM.

LIS therapy anyone? I've been grinning like a fool while watching these clips.
But if you have yet to watch LIS, then better not watch this unless you do not mind spoilers.
I am still in the midst of watching LIS and there were a number of spoilers in there. 🤪

Let's go! 🙂

I guess it is from a lack of understanding or perhaps ignorance? I will see you at the Moon Bar for some drinks!

Moon Bar = Virtual bar for TTEOTM folks. LOL

Hear hear... *clinks wine glass to Micha's mug/glass of "poison" of choice* LOL

Much as I love TTEOTM, I have to agree that the TTEOTM editing team could have squeezed 15s or 1 min for a simple happy ending without showing us all the cute stuff that happened with TTJ, LSS & A-mi. I believe it would been satisfying enough to have a positive impact on the ratings as well as viewership. This would also be in line with the novel which some people have read and loved. I think the uproar comes about as this was not in line with the novel conclusion nor was it better than the novel conclusion. If the ending showed was indeed a much better and more powerful conclusion compared to the novel, then there will be no uproar and ratings would continue to go up and not come down due to viewers disappointment and confusion.

We also have to remember there are folks out there who cannot take being traumatised as well as us who watched the full 40 episodes while ugly crying together. 😭😭😭😭 LOL...that makes us all sound sadistic or just hardcore LYX and BL fans. 🤪😂😅

As for me, I think therapy at LIS is helping and reading the novel final chapters with the HE which Micha101 kindly translated and posted for us. My traumatised heart is coming to terms that this is the ending Youku team has chosen to go with. I do not agree with it but it is what it is. Let's give our support as overall it was a great show that captivated us for the last few weeks. Let's drink to that! Cheers! 🍾🍷🥂🍸🍹🍺

I guess many people got confused and then traumatised and disappointed. Remembering TTEOTM is a victim of the 40 episode ruling will hopefully help put things in perspective. 😔

I think we need to remember TTEOTM was a victim of the new 40 episode ruling. The Youku team had to slash it down from the original 56 episodes to 40 episodes. Please cut TTEOTM some slack also.

Youku is a big organisation. It could be Youku Boss A preferring Actor X and Youku Boss B preferring Actor Y etc for a role. I am guessing that perhaps rumours come about if a magazine got a quote from Youku Boss A who said Actor X is being considered at that point in time and the magazine prints it. But in the end the based on Youku's selection process, their board probably decided that LYX is the best bet for successful shows and offered him the scripts to choose

We will not know what are Youku's criteria on actor selection for the various main roles that they have. But whatever it is, just glad that the drama series gods shone brightly on LYX and we've got him as our TTJ, that is all that matters. :)

Interesting to note that though it is nice to be the first choice, many actors who were not first choice turned out to be the best choice.

I remember Chris Hemsworth was not the first choice to play Thor. Marvel team wanted to give that role to Daniel Craig. But so glad the role went to Chris Hemsworth in the end as I cannot imagine Daniel Craig as Thor. LOL And Daniel Criag was also not the first choice to play James Bond, Wolverine Hugh Jackman was the first choice for Bond. Keanu Reeves was also not the first choice for Neo in the Matrix, he was the 6th choice, but as we can see now, the best choice to play Neo. Will Smith was then the first choice for the role of Neo, but he turned it down. I think everything worked out for the best in the end for everyone. Both the audience and the actors.

Let's not bother too much if LYX is the first choice, second choice or etc choice. Great if he is the first choice, but most importantly LYX is the BEST choice for the role of TTJ. 😁🙂

ADG!! 😍😍

Ahhhh...no wonder I was thinking that BL's dad in LIS looks so familiar. Just couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks for this.

Ikr. Now just hope they can feel the collective disappointment from the fans and do something about it i.e. release the special episodes or better still give us a part 2 to wrap up everyone's stories.

I think the results would be been even better if they concluded the show with the novel HE or at the very least an ending similar to The Untamed. The ratings here went down a bit after the last episode as folks were disappointed and not to mention traumatised. So I am guessing for Youku, ratings could be affected by the disappointment regarding the conclusion. 😅😅

But despite it all, this is really good results considering they slashed away so much to make it a 40 episode series. Now just praying and hoping for a special episode or two to tie up the loose ends.

Youku probably regretting the way they handled the ending for TTEOTM. They literally directed the traffic over to iQiyi. LOL

hahahah...LYX has that effect on his fans. 🤪😂
