ShortCircuit

I think of the dark energy as an elemental. Nobody controls an elemental. Zhu Yan said it was continuously collecting from all the evil that mankind does (and I think demons, too) and he's just the vessel for it to gather in. The fact it WILL get out of control is evidenced by how Lord Ying Long also had to be killed by Lord BingYi back in the day, despite them being friends (or so it seems, from what we've been shown of the past).

So his options are to wait until he can't be controlled anymore by anything and then cause havoc, or force his own death but maybe manage not to be reborn so that he doesn't have to go through any more painful cycles. This time he chose death - but maybe now he regrets it a bit.

I hope there'll be another way... but I don't think there'll be a HEA for Zhu Yan in this life.

The part about being a vessel for everything evil is so like what happens to Tantai Jin in Till the End of the World, seriously these two should be twins :D

WZX explained it though. He sealed ZY's five senses so now his golden core doesn't fit inside his physical body anymore, LOL. therefore he expected ZY to just eject the core (and presumably die). But since our favourite lord demon is more than meets the eye, the dark energy that was being supressed inside him by Lord Ying's godly energy did NOT take well to being over-restricted and probably broke through everything, including the seals, to get out.

Maybe the ever-burning wood had something to do with it too. The result is though that now ZY is again uncontrollable unless he goes away for a while, and even so he doesn't have much time left.

Li Lun was also under a seal - Baize Goddess' seal - and that helped him survive with the ever-burning wood for so long. But he did. not. like. it. (manifestly). I guess it wouldn't be something a demon could easily tolerate.

Ying Lei offered to cut his sleeve for him, LOL, if that's not a confession then what is....

It's because there was skin showing LOL. His virgin mind couldn't take it.

...Now imagine he saw evil demon ZY LOL.

He was both shoulder angels, LOL - one says "don't push the world over the brink!" and the other says "but we ARE cats..."

So I gather that PSJ actually took the evil doctor up on the offer - because it was either that or death and she's not dead.

And can we admit it - evil demon ZY looks pretty cool, too. I mean, he does have some clothes on at least. That should count for something.

Yeah but they have that oath and it's a serious one. I don't see ZYC breaking it.

Final boss not dead, confirmed. Can't wait for his glorious return :D

Drama, when I said I wanted to see Ying Lei giggle some more, you shouldn't have taken me so seriously, LOL.

Zhu Yan and Tantai Jin should start the club of lonely demons who just want to live a peaceful live. And then invite Li Lun too.

Oh, no... Still... I'll watch it, for Woo DoHwan, it's been too long. Thank you!

I can't watch this yet, please spoil me (use a tag, please, and thank you) - is it a good ending?

I'm not in Li Lun's camp LOL, but you DO realise that's not quite the problem you think it is, right? :D (Because, hello, have you SEEN Li Lun? There'd be queues out his door to the other side of the town :D)

This is like the drama was the love child of The Untamed and Wonderland of Love, only with some sprinkles of tragedy sown in for future use.

The whole drama set is a chem lab, complete with explosive reactions, LOL.

I took it that he still doesn't think a HE is possible for him - he'll see everybody get to that happy end, but him, not so much. So it was more of a bittersweet reminder that he, Zhu Yan... is not included. YET AGAIN.

I know, ZYC didn't mean it that way... but it did sound that way.

Oh, and ZYC doing puppy eyes - Don't you want to be my friend any more??

Oh yes, baby, I'll come right through the screen for you :D

This ep was also full of great moments :D

I'm so glad Bai Jiu came clean so fast and that ZYC is still giving him chances - but ZY's senses are still all sealed up... it only takes one needle and everything's over. I hope Bai Jiu knows how to undo every seal...

Zhu Yan, so coquettish, LOL - There are obvious reasons why everybody is after ME, but, Baize Goddess, what did you do so that everybody is also after YOU? :D

Also, Ying Lei's GIGGLE!!! Let him giggle some more :D

OMG ZY had already killed Li Lun all those years ago, it just took him so long to realise he's dead... Does ZY still have the ever-burning wood thing in him?! Or did it get transferred to Li Lun and was enough to burn him through in that time he was released after the seal kept him alive?...

What do they mean, PSJ's brother?! Did they MAKE Bai Jiu from Pei SiHeng's blood or something?! He seems to be something special, is THAT what they used all those demons for - making a Divine Wood hybrid to use in the future?!

Yan An is SUCH a fine specimen of man, he turned my head these two eps. I don't even care he's evil - when he said he knows people always hate demons, I wanted to give him a hug and assure him not ALL people would hate him. In fact, it's the opposite, LOL. And he still managed to die quite fast AND hurt Zhu Yan yet again when he revealed what's killing him... How much more can ZY take before he breaks again?!

ALSO, who the f is that demon Wen Xiao? Did the Chongwu squad and Dr. Wen have her MADE too?!

Zhu Yan (inquisitive):Hmm?!
Zhuo YiChen (biting): Shut UP!
Zhu Yan (agreeing): Hmm...

These two have evolved to not needing words to communicate. (Also, Li Lun's FACE! Baby, stop grinding your teeth, LOL. They're an item and you're third-wheeling them).

Also the final twist: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

If that sword breaks, it'll break ZYC's (and mine) heart...

Rewatch. That's whay I'm going to do.
