Ying Lei's death was the hardest for me to accept. It felt meaningless because all they needed to do was tell…
You’re right, Ying Lei’s death had a ridiculous reason, but that’s not exactly what I meant by the sacrifices being ‘meaningless.’ My point is that when someone sacrifices themselves for another, the whole goal is for that person to live. But when that person doesn’t survive, and the one who sacrificed themselves dies too, it just makes that initial sacrifice feel futile. I have a general issue with this concept. Otherwise, it’s clear that GJM (who is also the screenwriter) forced tragedy into the drama through all these deaths and sacrifices—and, to be fair, they were somewhat successful at it
This is rude! I was defending Ai Mi here before you started the drama, and now I’m just asking a question and you’re telling others not to answer me? If someone isn’t interested, why would they even want to hear opinions without spoilers? And why would they ask a question in the first place?
This drama is full of sacrifices that turned out to be meaningless. I really don’t like this kind of sacrifice.
For example, Ying Lei sacrificed himself to save Bai Jiu, but then Bai Jiu sacrificed himself to save Zhuo Yi Chen. So, Ying Lei’s sacrifice became meaningless.
Or take Fei, who sacrificed himself to save Qing Geng, and then Qing Geng sacrificed herself to save Zhuo Yi Chen. So, was Fei’s sacrifice for nothing?
Or consider Ao Yin, who sacrificed herself to save Li Lun, and then Li Lun sacrificed himself to save Zhao Yuan Zhou. So, what happened to Ao Yin’s sacrifice? On top of that, Zhao Yuan Zhou also sacrificed himself to save everyone in the world. So, did Li Lun sacrifice himself in vain to save him?
Sacrifice should have meaning; it should mean that the person you died for gets to live and continue their life. Everyone sacrificed themselves for each other so much that I didn’t even know who I was supposed to grieve for anymore We could lie to ourselves and say that everyone sacrificed themselves for a ‘greater good,’ but honestly, is this amount of tragedy really necessary? In the end, it’s just you and me left to cry together.
holy shit this has BEEN out TT why did i think this was airing next month
You’re so late to the party! 😂 We’ve already watched, obsessed over, cried, and rewatched it. Now we’re just living in the comment section here. lol Definitely start it, it’s amazing!
The ending is sad; the ML sacrifices himself. However, the novel’s ending is actually happy, because after his sacrifice, he gets reincarnated. That’s why I want a season 2 that shows that happy ending
But if you haven’t started it yet, please don’t let the sad ending scare you off! This drama is honestly one of the best of all time. It’s really worth watching, give it a chance
I like the OST of this drama more than Fangs of Fortune, even though it gets more praise. Overall, I like this…
Ah, you mean him? I simply call him Edward, it’s easier.😂 Yeah, I agree with you, but I really wish he would choose better screenwriters (It sounds like he’s writing it himself, but I’d appreciate it if he stopped) I like the overall plotlines and the stories, but not the endings. In My Journey to You, he went with an open ending, in Fangs of Fortune, he's going to kill the ML (I’m still watching it, so I said that about the future, lol). And with Veil of Shadows, I didn’t like the ending. You could say Lu Wuyi got her wish of living in a peaceful world with Ji Ling, but we had been following them in their previous world, so their absence there makes the ending feel sad for me. But overall, his choice of collaborators is excellent. Their costume design is stunning, these dramas have had some of the most captivating outfits I’ve ever seen. Also, the VFX combined with the OST is just incredible; it makes me rewatch certain scenes over and over because they feel so immersive. I especially love the action scenes and the way they visualize the characters’ powers. Plus, the set design and the staging are spot-on; the placement of the characters within the environment is always so important and well-thought-out
