So you have to make yourself a queen image to be seen as a strong woman. Wow, when are we now? Year 2022. It so reminds me of one cdrama a few years ago led by YangMi, Legend of Fu Yao. FL had such queen vibes and attitude yet all the way she did everything with help from all kinds of men attracted by her. meeeh.... Sorry. Does not count strong female for me.

XLH is physically weak. Even till the end, she did not have much chance to show her magical power. Her firm belief of her stand and ability to share sympathy and love gains her love and respect from not only friends but also enemies. She did not gain those recognitions because some powerful men love her. It is all about herself. This is the real strong female image, independent with strong mind, no matter she appears feminine, tender or sexy or whatever.

PS: I love XLH best when she knows it's time for her to hold back. Yes, very high EQ. In Ep10, she looked around and immediately knelt down to blend in is the best. :-D

And there are no annoying SML or SFL in this drama. They are even adorable. So rare to see this kind of set up especially SFL. Too many chick fighting in those dramas. Sorry. Girls can do better!

The ending is still way better than the normal xianxia dramas. They sacrifice for each other with knowing what the other wanted to do, and they respected the choice of the other side. The kissing and the after scenes in Ep31 are the highlight. They totally knew what the other was planning, but they said nothing, just kissed goodbye and went fight in their own ways. Very powerful scenes. This mutual respect and understanding is consistent with ep28.

The coming back of DFQC is also very logical. It was hinted from the very beginning. He, Chidi Woman, and that evil ancient god are the only three real immortals in the three realms. In theory, they will never die as long as there is a small bit of spiritual soul or blood left. Because of that bracelet, he always has a piece of him with XLH. That bracelet was there from ep8. The scriptwriters are brilliant. They wrapped up everything nicely. Of course a few more minutes of their happy after scenes would be better.

Agree. It is hard to translate. Such a pity!

Unfortunately they don't have. I hope they could have.

The best character analysis of CLJ. I wish it has English sub so that more people can understand how wonderful the story set up is. It is more than just a love story between fairy and devil.

It is strange to see people think FL betraying ML. In which sense? FL has her own stand and agenda from the beginning to the end. She did not accept MLs stand, which makes her a betrayer? Then how about ML? He was saved by FL too, otherwise he can't escape that Haotian tower. He also didn't do what FL asked for or wished. Furthermore, he did so many things against her will. So in the same situation, FL is a betrayer while ML is not. Interesting.

She is the goddess in core. Love everyone is in her DNA. Slowly, she learns how to love one specific person. ML is the opposite. He has no love at all in the beginning, but in the end he learns to love one, even the world. This drama has the best character development arc I've ever see in costume cdramas. Their conflicts in the whole process is the best part of the story.

The black dragon is simply out of the final battle because of the limited CGI budget, I guess. Every time the dragon shows up, u can feel, the money is burning. :-D

I feel the first kiss was more a statement of "see, she chose me", while the second is more "Get los. She is mine". :-)

wow. Thanks for the clarification. I didn't know there is such a thing.

It's funny, that it is a iQiyi producing and streaming project, but in the section of where to watch list on this page, iQiyi is not even listed. :-D

Er, he is still under the spell. If she is crawling with near death situation. He is no better.

Look, I got it! U r right. :-D

They are bashing how DFQC is OOC(out of character). They expected him to regain the hellfire and kill everyone like before... Basically, the audience who enjoyed the show for a powerful ML but not the story itself.

Can not understand their logic. If ML remains like this, what's the point of the whole story and character development.

Agree. She hinted a lot already, like everything is fated but not love. Basically, she's telling DF, love is the only way to bring her out of the fate of marrying to CH.

Hatred is definitely one of the reason. Another thing is that Yun Zhong Jun. He looks suspicious. Somehow I feel he needs wars to gain sth. His keen on searching the disappearing goddess does not feel right as well. Something shady about him is going on.

Agree. Actually, Wu lei is way more well-known in all age groups than ZLS in China.

Finger crossed, hoping a convincing and satisfying ending~~ Pls

Shocking... Douban rating is 7.8 now, was 7.7 yesterday... I hardly see any rating rising during the airing there... Amazing!

Hu Ge maybe plus Wu Lei, for me, is MCS and Fei Liu in NIF.
