Most of these fantasy genres be it wuxia or xianxia always have this understanding that the 'master' has all the knowledge and a kind of sixth sense on everything that goes on around them. In this case with LLH having visited his master's wife and her knowing his condition, you could fill in the dots that she somehow is keeping an 'eye' out on him. So it's a typical fantasy theme trope where the almighty master knows what is going on and will eventually come in and help.
Ok Iβm confused, how did the Masterβs wife just randomly appear in the palace at the opportune time to reveal…
Isn't this how most wuxia and xianxia are where the 'master' just senses thing and appear when the most dire situation arises? π I believe this is where you have to suspend your sense of disbelief and just go with it. π It's the same thing with the flying and cliff falling, you don't get it but it happens. π
That extra 5 minute episode is the definition of an open ended finale.
The way they depicted LLH standing on the beach staring out at the sea, then the dog, FDB, FDS comes riding/running up to the spot, but the dog just stops and stares up (but you don't know what or who) without barking or making any other movements. Then there's the hard to decipher expressions of DFS and FDB not indicating any relief or happiness to see their friend again. And of course the LLH smirk which could be taken as either he realizes his friends found him or he's self reflecting on his life. And lastly the panning out of the camera showing no one standing in front of the water.
You can take any of these combinations and come up with your own conclusion. The lack of specific details left it ambiguous enough to fill in the blanks. Unlike other dramas where they lead or insinuate what might happen, this one felt like a definite write your own ending.
Came across some reddit articles about MLC and this one person said after watching a CY drama they 'feel like a junkie in withdrawal'. Never truer words. π
And seems like people are taken with the lotus house cause that person also labeled it Howl's Moving Castle like a commenter here. I call dibs on it since it was last seen sitting empty! π
It's ironic that the premise and message for this show from LLH was to let things go, but seems like us viewers can't seem to put this into practice. π
Definitely one of the better C dramas this year helped by a decent script. The second half was especially good.…
The three separate 'sword dance' was such a nice visual treat for the viewers. The red ribbon sword on top of the roof, the drunken one in the forest, and the reed/thistle where Fox Spirit was watching. It's like watching a wuxia ballet. So pretty. π€
Holy cow!! That fight scene in ep 39 with LLH and SGD where CY twirls his arm right before punching... WHAT WAS THAT??! He did it on his right AND left arm!! π±π± And again with the blurring fight sequence! Damn the editing group did an awesome job with these! We wanted a LLH fighting scene and we sure got it. Ok, a bow is needed for this masterpiece. ππ»ββοΈ

How did it go from being so light-hearted to another tear-jerker ending!! π«π«
