Again, I have said multiple times before that I really don't like amnesia tropes in drama land - BUT OH MY, the amnesia trope in LDT is so well-done despite the angst and pain it initially brought to us viewers. I love how this period of time still feels like a must for their relationship to grow and to better understand each other. I initially thought that Yi Shui and Ran Ran's relationship was already almost perfect, being able to sacrifice their own cores and roots for each other and clearly expressing unconditional love that is truly rare to find, given with their immortal identities. I quite didn't expect this arc to still add another layer in the unplumed depth of their love, so I found myself wanting to see more of this arc. 🥹
Ga Min is literally the combination of some well-known heroes at this point. 😆 Their last fighting scenes really felt like the webtoon came out in real life! I love it ~
Why does the Ice Lotus Technique not affect Yi Shui when he kissed Ran Ran before he reached the Transcendence Stage in the East Sea? Is it a plot hole?
After finishing the drama, my mind is still hanging on it... I enjoyed almost every bit of it. The stories of each person were truly a roller-coaster journey of life. I initially thought the ending would be a mess because of some comments, but it's okay because I actually love how it ended! Though I would say it was not the best the writer could possibly do, but it still lived up to my expectations.
With that, there is only one question remaining in my head, and that is: What is actually the unfinished business that Madam Li has in Bianjing? I thought it would be addressed properly later on, I mean, it would be explicitly revealed. But if the drama is just telling that the matters she wanted to be resolved in Bianjing is only letting her daughters marry, then I am a bit disappointed because it looks like they made it quite a mystery at first (though it doesn't change the fact that I love the series). Or, did everyone forget it was a part of the plot? Nǐ mén, what are your thoughts on this?
I am confused as to why this is on airing again. It says that it aired last February 2023, yet Ep9 would be released 50 days from now. Can someone explain?
The scene where Seulgi jumped / is thrown off in a sea-like underwater but still tries to study is really a great metaphor of how pressuring studying was in South Korea. It was as if even she's in the verge of death, she would still choose to spend those times studying because of the "rewards" of it that she have never experienced in the past. Or, even if she is just pressured to study to the point she can't breathe (since she's under water), nothing would stop her from wanting to taste the sweetness of being treated "right" due to a high rank in school. It implies some possible meanings that unveils the reality of a person wanting to reach the top in order to escape the prison-like life where they had been living all their life.
I first fell in love with Xiang Han Zhi in her drama Forever Love. It is one of the rare youth c-dramas I've ever liked. She is a sweet, strong FL in the aforementioned drama in my opinion, and even here. I believe she already has a stable personality, but I still wanted to see a character development for her.
I first saw Deng Wei in Till the End of the Moon, and absolutely stunned with his looks and his talent in acting. I can only remember that his character there is a righteous one, but I am more enjoying how his character here is multifaceted + and never a righteous one in the first place.
So far, there is not a single boring moment for me. I love how that showed the past in the initial episodes, because it clarified everything right before the story went on 18 years later - or else, I would've gone crazy thinking about it for the whole time I am watching the series (like in LAR 😭).
Wait, so... EP9 is basically telling us that the Founder of Eternal Sect is Dun Tian - who in synopsis, is possibly the person behind that mask? The unknowingly demonic cultivator who is the reason why SYS had to be the demonic child? I bet he is also the one who hurt MQG in the Netherworld which made her die faster in the Eternal's formation. No wonder how he also have those inner monologues, which I didn't understand in the beginning. It's always the "righteous" people who is praised by everyone that do the most heinous things ever for personal gains.

Hao, Yi Shui. We get you. We totally get you. 🤣
