Especially with the brooch - it was supposed to be so important, but ML's cousin just tossed it because apparently it didn't have any significance for the takeover of the company xD

But he did have his sister's current picture (which actually begs the question how he got it? If his sister had been hidden for 17 years?).

This is definitely one of the worst dramas I've ever seen.

The girl has no problem with ML switching from his supposed-fiancée to a woman who looks exactly like her.
The man has no problem with being involved with a woman who looks exactly like his sister. None, not even the slightest doubt (I have a brother and no, that would not be an easy situation).

And the number of plot holes and nonsense was, in my opinion, absolutely insulting to the viewer. Like when Manning was in a coma for a staggering two days after a "fire," it was said that she suffered severe respiratory burns, and during the same conversation it turned out there wasn't even a fire, just a smoke bomb. So what exactly burned her?🤦

Or when, like a complete idiot, she ate a mango, to which she was severely allergic, instead of simply saying she hated mangoes, because that's what any reasonable person would do...
And I'm no expert, but since the allergic reaction was already quite advanced, vomiting the fruit shouldn't have been enough; without an epipen, she should have died.

And these are just two of the biggest pieces of nonsense from a whole lot of ridiculous things we've been treated to in this drama.

That would actually explain a lot. And if that's the case it could indicate that there indeed will be second season.

Besides, in my opinion, Shen Cheng's behavior in the ending was completely out of character – he was an asshole throughout the entire series, only to suddenly decide to sacrifice himself?

I also don't understand what would have to happen for someone like Haitang to simply accept that her husband (or ex-husband) would take their child abroad.

Hopefully, because I really can't stand what they did to the pair from 2026

For me it looked like maybe they were planning season 2, because honestly the whole ending was awful.

This was generally sad and heavy.
And there was not one actually romantic scene between both pairs of leads which was a bit disappointing.

But nonetheless overall the story was really good.

But then the ending happened, which was of course really bittersweet (not to mention that rushed and it didn't show much about what happened with heroes).
So I'm pretty angry at the writers of this, because after all that struggle both pairs deserved happy ending and it could be arranged with everything that happened, they were literally one longer letter and explanation about pair in the future from happy ending :/

And she apparently lost her ability to do martial arts, because why not?🙄

Yes, mortal world was pretty great!
I was wondering what on earth could all those remaining episodes be about, when ML died (and briefly thought it should just end when he was (supposedly) saved by lightnings, they united the worlds and were about to get married), but the mortal world arc was such a nice surprise, I was also disappointed that it wasn't longer.

And I find it highly unlikely that CEO/heir - whoever he was in modern world - would be interested with ordinary girl for no reason at all.

They've spent few months together and almost 40 years apart so yes, I would say they've spent very little time together.

It also annoyed me a lot that FL doesn't grow – during her 18 years in the demon world she learned martial arts, yet when she was about to save the young emperor during a bandit attack in the human world, she did it with magic because she "doesn't know martial arts."

She spends 19 years as the queen of demons and immortals, and yet when she returns to her own world, she immediately reverts to that submissive woman who almost apologizes for being alive.
I would have expected, at the very least, that after all this experiences, she'd be able to stand up to her mean boss.

To be honest Sima Jiao's backstory is even worse than Tantai Jin's and here I thought it wasn't possible xD But TTEOTM was definitely better overall.

But I really hate these kinds of endings—why can't the heroes just stay in the fantasy world? Almost always one dies, returns to their own world, where a second character magically appears, either with or without their shared memories, and poof, it's over.
And the whole thing lasts two or three minutes, gives no answers or touching scenes (because everything ends before anything can happen), and invariably leaves me annoyed and sad. So many time and emotions put into watching and so unsatisfying ending.

I really enjoyed this (although I didn't think that any character's backstory might be more tragic and heartbreaking than Tantai Jin's from "Till the end of the moon" but then here came drinking blood and literally eating bodies of ML's family - yup, that definitely took the cake).

And I was wondering what the last 5 or 6 episodes would supposed to be about when everything seemed to be over, and then, poof - the action in the human world came and I regretted that it didn't last longer.

I don't think any amends were possible at this point. Sooner - sure, there were times when it should be possible, but they gave him plenty of chances and he was always choosing to be dead set in his ways, no matter what happened and how yet another person was trying to reason with him.
Honestly I would be extremely disappointed if in the end he would be forgiven. There are things that can not be forgiven.

Then it should at least take more than this ridiculous 2 minutes, so we could actually see how they are in modern world

I would actually like it more if I missed the post credit scene, in my opinion it ruined the perfect ending :/

It was annoying for me too, but I can understand her - she was convinced that no matter how ML changes he's still bound to torture and kill her and her entire family at the end.
It's kind of like in "Till the end of the moon" - FL can't bet the fate of the entire world/family just on the hope that the ML has changed. It's just to big of a risk.
