Finally Finally watched all of it!Regardless of how I feel about the ending and execution I will say this; the…
That kiss was very natural. I didn’t expect much from YZ after AOL (if I’m not mistaken one kiss scene, literally just lips lightly placed against each other) and GGS. But she displayed YD’s overflowing affection in this scene really well by giving us a really meaningful kiss and hug. YD was an emotional character and it was a tender moment, she wouldn’t have just given a lip stamp kiss.
I have now recovered from my initial shock and properly sat down and watched it. I think like many I was so disappointed because our main couple never caught a break and was like how dare they waste such chemistry!!!
But they didn’t lack for couple moments, and that kiss at the land under the horizon was beautiful. Especially the end where he sobs as he says ‘as long as you never give up on me.’ The scene where YY throws a ink brush at her gave me so many feels, since he became TZ again for that short time.
I also loved the part where she saved him from his demon side with ‘I’m here, I’m here.’ She really is his saviour and his everything. YD’s love for him is evident the entire way through, it’s not desperate or pathetic, it’s reliable.
I am quite skeptical about the HE, as I don’t know how I can stand alone as 2 whole episodes and I don’t love the typical Chinese HE with them usually with a bratty /cheeky child. I don’t know quite what I want to see, but family scenes always looks quite fake to me and waste the couple chemistry. Maybe just twenty minutes of them flirting, fighting and then kissing? Haha.
This is now a strong contender for my favourite xian xia - obviously the rewatch and feels will be the test but it is an intelligent drama with standout performances.
TMoPB is my gold standard, and Mark Chao is perfection. But there are elements of the story that were weak, and Yang Mi can be inconsistent in her acting for me. Here you have a beautiful story, strong chemistry and both actors were flawless. I mean, CY carries the drama on his own for most of the last 4 episodes! And YZ gave us a passionate kiss scene and heart wrenching misery.
I went to have a look at the text at the end. That text is just a list of all the companies that helped produce IS. But I agree it looks like it says something worth reading 😅
I think I’ve missed things in my anger. Why are they wearing red wedding clothes in the final scene anyway? It cuts from YY looking at the incense burner to the next day really abruptly!
If there is a leaked scene, I saw the script. YD and YY in mortal world with GD celebrating YD birthday with a fish. They ask where he got the fish and described YM. Presumably they can’t live with YM because they’re just humans and he’s still king of the spirits?
Anyway, I do feel like I’ll be over it by the 7th. I’ll still be happy, but I don’t know if that tiny scene of mild happiness and no romance can override my current depression.
I already killed myself. I’m only back here as a vengeful ghost! F you scriptwriter! Would it have killed you to have him come back as a rubbish mortal??
Its unexpectedly sad ending, i think the director, producer etc were crazy enough to make such ending, its like…
It’s nuts. They have more miserable moment in their short relationship than happy. And I almost lost it when she broke up with him again in episode 58!!! Then they made him drunk for when she kisses him. FFS!
I hate when the FL is just headstrong and ‘brave’ and then bumbles straight into dangerous situations. It’s idiotic but you see it so often.
