i think you got the whole point of Yan Ke's character wrong. He's a man in love but also a man blinded by his…
I did say, the bad writing especially on last 10 episode or so made me hate Duan Xu when they downgraded his character from formidable general to no more than damsel in distressed.
How he so stubbornly didn't tell He Simu when his sense fading or how he several times basically just throw his life into danger but he won't call He Simu for help, atleast Chenying still call her name when in his last breathe. Atleast when you being that weak, seeking help won't tarnish your pride. Just stop putting yourself or someone else into danger just because your stubborness. That's not a love when you start not being honest and can't trust to each other.
While I did love their early dynamic when he more obsessed to He Simu. Do everything to get to know and get close to her. Even willing to exchange sense just to let He Simu taste how beautiful the world is. Delay his comeback to Nandu follow her to Void eventho he barely know nor could foresee what happen inside the void. When they got into illusion, he actually taste how great it was when he drop everything just being focus to grow old together with her.
But then on later episode they show how he got more obsessed to unified 17 prefecture more than the obssesion to being with He Simu. For 5 years, he didn't even get bothered when He Simu missing being captived by Yan Ke in Void world. Old Duan Xu gonna leave the war and find a way to break into void just to save He Simu at all cost.
This Cdrama shows for the spirit, the greater obssesion they have, the greater power they possessed aswell. Sadly at the end, Duan Xu obssesion no longer being with He Simu. He could just chose another path, like telling He Simu about his condition to find a way to cure it. Or maybe just drop everything in mortal world just to be with He Simu longer. Rather he chose his obssesion to finish the war more and it served him right, to fasten his death just show his stubborness while he didn't even think about He Simu at all. What's the point unified county and seeking your personal glory when you can't live longer together with your loved one and make her grief over your death body early instead.
Think this is first Cdrama who made me hate the ML while understand SML motive better at the end. Duan Xu recklessness, stubborn and his self centered persona annoyed me so much, he cost He Simu life several times while being ignorant. While Yan Ke have so much opportunity to ended her life and take a throne but wouldn't do it because for him it's not about the throne, he just wants Simu on his side. At the end Yan Ke sacrificing himself is fit for him eventho he supposed to be the main villain, unlike Duan Xu who no where near when everytime He Simu had trouble.
For people who says get bothered with Dilraba act, think it mostly because bad writing and bad dynamic between He Simu and Duan Xu when she lives in mortal world especially on early 8-10 episode. It get better when they start exchange sense. When they move to void world, she really shows she's better when act as an icy cold domineering sovereign than bubbly innocent girl in mortal world.
Last five episode I basically skip every Duan Xu part because at some point I couldn't stand how they made him dumb and weak then cost everyone lifes just for plot. Just glad they find a better ending for Chenying and keep the bond between him and Simu. Almost stop watching when they made He Simu only watch him dying on battlefield without doing anything, I mean she could flip the world for Duan Xu but couldn't flick her finger to save Chenying, atleast she could transport him to some save place.
First time watching GJM work, did it always like this?? no foreplay straight to action from the get go. Couldn't even grasp what is happening. Ju Jingyi seems suspicious since she use magic spell to that bride in beginning but then Chen Duling appear outtanowhere and fight everyone, so which one is the fox demon? Don't tell me they gonna put some twist and making it unpredictable.
"For example, Wei Shuanguan was shown as stubborn and straightforward, but never unintelligent. He was powerful…
WSG definition of street-smart but kinda naive in most of part. As we know WSG mission is to complete his revenge over dragon flood massacres, that's why most of his arc story finish after star stone illusion arc.
From the beginning he never wanted to be a dragon nor trained to be one. Hence when he found out about his real identity we can still see how's he seems struggling to accept his fate to carry that huge responsibility. That's why his dragon transformation feel lackluster since he barely have anyone to guided to be one even Chiwen feel distant and disconnected to him comparing Chiwen interaction with Ji Ling.
I'm new to Cdrama, this is my first time watching it. Who's that beautiful fox sister? They both so gorgeous and…
Don't worry I don't like the little one, she's so smol like I could put her in my pocket. Also her voice is so annoying, I really couldn't stand it, keep hearing it on my dream. Hope she didn't bothering the older fox too much on next episode.
omg today's 1st 5 episodes were so good, I really loved it, the fight scene between cdl and jz amazed me alot…
I'm new to Cdrama, this is my first time watching it. Who's that beautiful fox sister? They both so gorgeous and yet so cunning feels like I've been seduced through out episode
That not how I look at the ending at all, yes it might be "HE" in a sense they are together.But they aren't…
Well I'm already on acceptance phase lol especially after they announced 2nd season. So all of those flaw and messed up they created at the end could be justifies to create more possibility for next season. Now only need them to show how they gonna fix and resolve everything left from the ending. If they choose to made prequel instead telling what happen next or only use the universe with different characters for season 2, it will be hard pass for me.
Made rough draft what happen if they keep LWY in the past. Let's say after the portal shut they all goes back to eps 1 ending. That's exact checkpoint its make sense for aesthetic to keep storyline keep moving. From this point basically there's atleast another 5 chapter in my mind how this ending should goes.
Finally someone who get brothered like me with forced HE for JiLu when they could just took another path to create…
Then we realize that ending wouldn't give us second season since everything already being solved lol now we need accepting how they messing the timeline to create more possibility to explore in 2nd season.
That not how I look at the ending at all, yes it might be "HE" in a sense they are together.But they aren't…
"NOW if you look at the ending from a theme perspective.
It is a happy ending for both Ji Ling and LWY...."
THAT is not happy ending, it was selfish act from JL 1.0 after he losing and fail to protect his own LWY 1.0 on the main timeline. JL 1.0 so selfish he feels need taking out LWY 2.0 from the past, which the one should be JL 2.0 fated one, the one who destined to saved JL 2.0 life later.
LWY 2.0 could grow naturally in the past then meet with JL 2.0 later creating their own memories but now without worry LWY 2.0 carrying or manipulated by sect leader (JY) since its already been killed by JL 1.0. LWY 2.0 also deserved lived under WWY 2.0 guidance with much love and warm. If they playing it well with how WSG have all memories they could clearing all mission in each arc faster and clean then created real happy ending for everyone in new timeline.
Someone on tiktok even mentioned something funny, JL who travelled in time not even JL 1.0 but JL 1.1 since he's only created by fragment of JL soul stone not the actual JL 1.0. So basically LWY 1.0 and JL 1.0 basically already gone on main timeline.
Honestly I'm just love messing with you, this only ended when they drop season 2 lol
It was a delight to watch, though at the end, i didn't like the way they made the HE with the first couple, I…
Finally someone who get brothered like me with forced HE for JiLu when they could just took another path to create HE for everyone more naturally if they didn't messed up the timeline.
And indeed VOS was great Cdrama, for someone who first time watch GJM work his styles feels so fresh like at start it's barely having foreplay just straight to action, Xiaowei arc with their thrilling mystery detective drama tidbit definitely hooked me.
When Cai Wei swapped her face isn't logical if suddenly Shangguan Zhi switch personality in a night. Should just let Cai Wei pretending to be evil Shangguan Zhi so people around her to not get suspicious. Then gradually show her tsundere side slowly, should let JJY act as evil Shangguan Zhi more.
Another Cdrama which could be great if they just following materials from the original novel. In novel Furong died and goes back to her childhood and decide this time she not gonna repeat her miserable married with Xujin and chasing Xuping instead. Also Furong doing anything to save her little brother who died from pox in previous life. While in this drama they show that plot without a backbone so we didn't get how Furong more trust to Xuping than Xujin or how she get all of that prophecy through her dream.

This is canon from now on 😂

Someone couldn't move on either there lmao
This good point by @skizlock which I related so much with the current ending.
