Epic wedding assasination scene! (Eps 26) & Who is the best character?
[Till the end of the moon eps 26 wedding scene]
Assassination in the wedding night is not unusual in C-drama but this scene is so epic for following reasons:
1. Background music: This is definitely the best aspect! There are 4 distinctive soundtracks in one scene: First is the strangely scary sound that is clearly not suitable for a happy wedding night. When the World-overturning Jade and the 9 soul-slaying nails are ready, the battlefield sound starts, expecting some epic boss fights, just like in an anime. But the moment the first 3 nails poke holes into ML’s heart, a quick silence for the ML to realize his beloved one comes for his life, is followed by a painful sad sound showing this is not a fight but a one-sided unjustified traumatized betrayal from FL and sympathy toward ML’s suffering.
2. Acting: Luo Yunxi as Tantai Jin looks sooo naive with a bunch of unjustified questions and his screaming when his heart gets pierced makes viewers really feel his pain. Bai Lu as Ye Xiwu did a great job here, showing no mercy towards the future demon lord as expected. I love the cool-hearted “Farewell…” statement at the end and the painful look when she sees the last 3 nails disappear.
3. Trauma/Tragedy storyline: I know this story means to get the two leads to suffer in the most terrible way possible and this scene is unavoidable. But you know, how crazily inhuman FL’s plan could be, giving the only touch of warmth and love to ML in his world, just to trigger some soul-slaying artifacts and then shred them all with a final cold-blooded blow. This writer must hate this world so much to write this “don’t try this at home” type of story. Of course, because of these emotional abuses, the chemistry between this main couple is distorted into pity, scaredness from FL and obsession, anger from ML.

[My favorite character of this show]
To me, the better, wholehearted love and hands down my favorite character is Sang Jiu: Admiration, Affection, Bravery, Sacrifice, and Revenge. A girl dares to lead her life, taking risks to strive for her love, forcefully taking her night with her man before leaving, anonymously taking care of him without asking for anything in return and being able to throw the feelings all away to get revenge for her family… Love and Hate are clearly distinguished which is sooo cool !!!
Unfortunately, she admired an absolute piece of trash, irresponsible, incompetent “God of War” Ming Ye, who should have at least expressed appreciation for his 2-time savior by doing something for her. For example, giving her a clear verbal explanation in person (not a no-brainer promise written in toilet paper), some protection artifacts, something for her to get his contact when needed, and at least distributing some troops to protect his family-in-law and a courier to get updated. This so-called “Leader of the Upper Immortal Realm” just sits still, does nothing, knows nothing, and when bad things happen he could continue his uselessness by fking around FL saying sorry while she gets all the revenge herself..!?
