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

The Immortal realm did feel very rushed and I know they had to cut down a lot of episodes and you could feel it, I felt a lot of Bai Lu's scenes were cut near the end as well especially. Though I'm sure they tried to do their best of what they had to cut down. I did really enjoyed this drama, it was unique and different. The costumes were to die for, the OST was next level and the chemistry was on fire. This show was its own thing, TTJ was a very unique leading character for cdramas and it was refreshing to see something different, Luo Yunxi did a truly amazing performance. There wasn't a lot of happy moments but I think it was meant to be that way as its more of a tragedy than a happy love story. I'm glad I went on this ride and I'll miss this show!!

as far as I know, this is the only C-drama with antagonist/villain as the main story. For me, TTJ is always the villain. He starts as DG and ends as DG.

Guys, Tantai Jin had his redemption arc. All the misunderstandings between him and Li Susu were finally cleared. As a god, Susu can now sense the true heart and intentions of people. Tantai Jin's beautiful white clothes that we see after he sheds his demon god robes were symbolic of his pure, selfless, and brave heart. He didn't die a slave to evil or the destiny of the demon god, he died on his own terms, and for his own purposes--- in the hands of the woman he loved, and for the world. He overcame the cruel fate that had been haunting him all his life. And now, when he comes back, he'll come back as Tantai Jin-- a husband, a father, and a hero--- not as anybody else.

Quite sure that final view of Tantai Jin inside the heart-protecting scale meant that Li Susu had gathered his soul fragments and would eventually resurrect him. By then, he can be reunited with Li Susu and their lovely daughter <3

No drama is perfect, regardless of the story and how it ends. For me this drama should be a 10

FOR
1. Putting pressure to other Producer Platform to elevate their assembly line quality drama
2. Casting actors that can act instead of Pretty Facial Paralysis AI Acting Actor
3. Not giving us shitty cheap CGI and bad setting
4. Giving us the best costume Xianxia has ever seen

The producer has GOOD intention and TTEOTM will be the benchmark that will force other to elevate their GAME for the benefit of C Drama Audience, US people, TO BENEFIT US.....


DON'T YOU AGREE ???????

It's been a while since I've felt this good. Feeling at the edge of my seat for every episode and looking forward to each episode. Each episode is not a disappointment. This is by far THE BEST XIANXIA drama from sadness, to happy, angry, mystery, darkness and many more. I know it's too early to say since there are still many upcoming dramas to be broadcast but this drama gives me the good feelings.

1) I like how the fate of devil god from beginning and ending was in the hands of TTJ itself as he is the one who wrote his fate/destiny from the very beginning. Doesn't matter devil's god 1.0 from the bore life or devil god after 500 yrs he is THE same person at the end of the day. Him planning for his come back 10,000 yrs later by planning his trial in mortal world from the torture, the sadness, the betrayal after betrayal the setback was just to prepare himself to be stronger so that he could be the one reigning the world of chaos by feeding the all in distress was just remarkable.

2)I like how the writer's portrayal of devil god in this story really displayed the true meaning of a devil no signs of mercy, hesitation nor kindness or mankind, sympathy but pure evil due to the evil bone that's binded to him. It also tells us the root cause/existence of devil god derived from hatred, sins, anger, vengeance all the sinful feelings coming from himself and also human beings that feed on the devil god that result in the existence of devil fetus makes alot of sense

3)I am pretty satisfied with the ending since it does make sense for TTJ to perish since his existence comes from hatred, anger etc and only he himself the devil god could end this by destroying himself. I like the fact that TTJ could choose to be good as a devil god despite having all 3 weapon binded to him but he could control it with his good inner energy he gained from xiaoyao sect (I'm not sure if I explain this well but that's what I understood)

But he choose to end his own war by letting the immortal god (li susu) to end him once and for all. I high key believe he won this war actually and not the immortal god/immortal sect as he was the one who made the decision to end the devil god reign. I think if he chose to destroy the world he could cause it was within his control all along anyway.

Im pretty sad that there wasn't much of an opportunity given to TTJ to redeem himself and live a good life that he deserves. I mean TTJ deserve his own justice cause firstly he was born bearing no feelings nor heart so he dk what's right nor wrong so technically it's not his fault. The biggest culprit that allowed his evil spirit to grow was from human itself so much for them being righteous huhh. TTJ was able to dicern those acts of feelings by imitating Xiao lin furthermore there wasn't a kind soul that could lead him to the righteous path or at least believed him. So kinda sad that he couldn't live a life that he desires a simple life with li susu as CJM. Don't say he did not try to be a good person he did try to redeem himself and live a good life but humankind is the one who drove him to a corner.

4)kudos to design team for producing such a majestic beautiful pieces of hanfu for TTJ, YXW, XL, Binchang, Pian Ran, YQW and all the other supporting cast. From the headgear, headpieces, ornaments for the hanfu everything is just so beautiful I think the word beautiful is not enough to describe. I was mesmerized through out each episode NVR disappoints!! There wasn't a repetition the same hanfu for each character. I am in so much in awe for TTJ be it he was the devil god, mingye or CJM all of his pieces are so majestic. Even when he was a king as TTJ woww the aura he executes just speechless

5) thank you for the graphic team in making the graphic look so legit and beautiful without those editing it wouldn't be complete

6) Thank you for the actors and actress they are all incredible especially since most of their scene are acted out with green screen just shows their imagination and professionalism are beyond words. I especially would like to touch on yunxi his gaze and aura that he execute really suits his role as devil god. Every gesture his aye gaze just pulls you thru. Also explosive chemistry bailu and yunxi NVR fails love them both I hope they will have another project tgt I can't get enough of their chemistry not only onscreen but offscreen as well. My takeaway here apart from bailu and yunxi I really like pianran and YQY looking forward to their growth and upcoming project.


I hope bailu drama with Dylan or Zhang linghe will not be release that soon cause having withdrawal symptoms right now need some buffer time to move to another drama.

I hope they win the drama of the year award I'm not sure if they have similar like Korean baeksang/daesang award they deserve it. This drama definitely deserve 10/10 so will becoming to this page to see if the rating goes up to 9 or 9.1 cause it really deserve the high praise.

But just curious in ep 1 why was devil god aftering mirror of the past like I still couldn't figure out that part did I miss anything in the ep

I've been watching wuxia and xianxia for 10+ years, and I'd say there's roughly two happy endings for every sad ending, and about a fifth the time it's a "if you tilt your head and squint hard it's a lays-the-groundwork-for-HE open ending" route. But sad endings are not nearly as all-the-time, especially in the last 5-6 years. (Things come in and out of style, after all.)

I don't think the problem, really, is whether the ending is happy or sad. It's whether it's well-written (satisfying, delivers on the story's promise) or badly-written (unsatisfying, doesn't answer its questions or goes back on its promises). You can have a happy ending that's wildly unsatisfying (deus ex machina endings) or a sad ending that feels right and satisfying because it's the story's logical destination.

TtEotM made a lot of promises. It was asking questions related to defying fate, undoing or defeating destiny, having agency in your own story -- and in the end, the answer it gave was "actually, you can't do any of that; your fate is set no matter what you do, might as well die". It didn't live up to its promises, and that's what makes it an unsatisfying ending. If it were the logical end, a lot of people would be crying, sure, but not *pissed*. Not like this.

Under all the "why can't it end happy" noise, I suspect that's the real issue: the show asked a hopeful question and settled for a hopeless answer.

Yes, I know TTJ was finally at peace by seeing his smile at the end of the drama, but still... after all his suffering since his birth, losing his mother, his father and brother want to kill him, being betrayed so many times by the person he trusted the most and dearly to him... I think it's too cruel if he couldn't spend his life with someone who he loved so much... his whole life was already tragic 😥

So after watching 40 episodes full of angst, misery, suffering and betrayal, I think many of us really want to see a happy ending for TTJ and LSS, at least TTJ can have his “normal” life with LSS as he wish too

But it’s xianxia after all 😅, we can’t expect a happy ending like in fairy tale haha

I really love your answer. And I really liked the drama also the ending was not bad for me.

I agree it was a crappy ending, but it wasn't a waste because in the end TTJ won. He didn't destroy the world but saved it. He didn't loose his soul to the DG but remained true to his deepest self. He was able to look at all the bad and accept it, that loving and being loved was still worth it. He was able to save those he cared about in the end and not hold on to bitterness or hate. Super powerful. I wish the writers had mercy and given us a few happy moments for him though!
