For me, I think I can accept the ending but there was plenty of missing in the end. There was no closure to other leads/characters in the drama. This is probably to 40 eps rule imposed but I based my ratings in the drama shown not by novel or leaked script. If only they could have shown it and the final scene in the leaked where TTJ shadow is shown it would have been better. The editing team failed in this regard. They could have cut the flashback scenes instead and cut some during the dream arc to give more space for immortal arc.

Sad to see the rate went down. Hopefully will go up again. Thinking of the 7 past XanXia drama I had watched, all had a happy ending even no closure, it was a happy open ending. None had a tragic ending like this even those with tragic ending there was a few minutes of how ML returned or an epilogue. Guess this is how TTJ want to end it. Respect that. Rewatching it 😊

Yeah. It's not fair to bring down the rating just because of the ending.

Need to also think about the effort of the whole team before, during and after filming. The performance of the actors, the sets, costumes, props, etc. Seeing the low rating adds to my pain.

I totally agree this drama is on another level no matter what the closure was about

It is a beautiful ending for me too, but it is no consolation for my heart 😭

I kinda love ending. He is at peace and happy. It has deeper meaning for me. LXY had this role which can be one in lifetime. He was meant to be TJ thats no doubt. I am so glad I saw this masterpiece! 🥺❤️😍

I try to move on for now before I want to rewatch, but I can’t. I feel like someone I know dearly in real life passed away.

TTJ finally get to decide his own fate rather than accepting his scripted hard life and finally let go.
The only consolation for me with TTJ gone and CYJM ends is that the actor LYX is also somewhat free from the internet violence he received during the airing.

The script writer wrote yesterday:
Leo acting as ADG is on point, ADG should not be portrayed as human because he is not (the way ADG was emotionless when he died, the script was different, he supposed to panic but Leo changed it to calm, indifferent)

TTJ Hostage prince survival is like animal instinct. I absolutely agree, there is something uncanny about how Leo portrays TTJ, animal instinct it is.

I have to say it again. It is an honour for TTJ to meet LYX and equally an honour for LYX to meet TTJ, it is one in a lifetime luck for an actor to act 8 personalities for a role.

i thought this was an interesting view of the ending since many people are unhappy/upset with the ending.

written by egz on viki,
“The point of the story is about personal growth, finding satisfying relationship, acceptance of self, courage to face responsibility, collective efforts plus personal tenacity to do the impossible. Suppose all of these are achieved, I would consider it a full circle, a very happy ending. Sorry, maybe I don’t believe the author is trying to write a fairy tale romantic story, so i am more accepting of the ending as the story offers.”

I'm calm and introverted person who enjoys quietness, but I think even sad drama needs to have ups and downs, this drama felt like down-down-down-down all the way. If the ending was gonna be sad, it should've been at least an open sad ending, this was sad and badly executed too. If felt like it was cut short or somewhat, lacked a lot of storyline and likelihood. I get they are star-crossed lovers who are destined not to have a happy ending, but it feels really simplified. It feels like all the buildup was just that, nothing more. Even sad dramas tend to have a lot of build ups for the ending, shows a happiness and comedy inside it somehow. This was well made that's for sure but sad-sad-sad-sad drama. I wouldn't recommend unless they can handle it. It feels really heavy and HE or an somewhat of a SE open ending (them meeting again in another lifetime or whatever) would've made the balance imo.

It's not fair to judge this drama according to an end scene This drama makes everything coming after so difficult to accept they really take it to another level people are mad because they are deeply involved and that is understandable ... great job ..any idea guys if there is another drama same level coming soon?

The fact that Tantai Jin carved Ye Xiwu's tombstone to be "Tantai Jin's Beloved Wife Ye Xiwu" but his as only "Ye Xiwu's husband Tantai Jin" shows how he understood that the ways of the world would never allow them to be truly together...but he still can't stop loving Ye Xiwu/Li Susu. There are still doubts in his mind whether Ye Xiwu really loves him, so he doesn't write beloved husband...This is so freaking heartbreaking.

Does the drama has a HE?
I think it does.
It’s a happy ending for all the realms, because they are saved. That’s the bigger picture. Maybe a happy one for TTJ too, he looked peaceful and happy. That’s what he wanted to do and he no longer is demon. He did good for the people, just like MY.
LSS completed her mission, has a child with TTJ. Her life seems peaceful too.
But definitely not a happy one for us viewers. Its not a perfect ending. We want them to be together. We want another 40episodes. lol
I don't believe TTJ is dead. This is a Xianxia drama. We can not think with our logic. If the writer wants them to reborn, they can reborn. lol
It's so hard to move on to another drama. :')

This drama is definitely for matured viewer. No, it's not about our age. More on our thought process. This drama makes you think outside the box, makes you uneasy, makes you deal with your emotion and psychology. It's full of bitter and sweet experience sitting through this drama, which I'd rarely experience before in other drama (the last drama that did that to me was Nirvana on Fire, which was another classic from a different genre).
For me, if a drama is able to stir so much emotion and thoughts from me, it is a GOOD drama.
If you ask me, does the drama has a HE?
Read spoiler below. Or find out for yourself by watching the drama :)

This drama makes everything coming after so difficult to accept they really take it to another level and it's so shallow to judge according to an end scene ...Acting ,costumes, special effects ,ups and downs in the emotional elements all of that get into you that you can't forget easily I have been trying to look for something else to replace but I couldn't ..people are mad because they deeply involved and I understand that hope to see more of this type of drama in the near future....good job
