I'm more confused then ever? 🤣 so did Mu Zhengyang betray the aunt at all? so was he the real mastermind and…
based on my understanding, mu zhengyang wanted power, so he did betray pingshu. he used her to get the items needed for ziwei method so that he could tempt nie hengcheng to learn it without telling him the final step which would cause him to die. however, mu zhengyang fell in love with pingshu in the process. still, he chose to kill her other friends (the ambush). one dude (lu chengnan) got away and revealed it to pingshu??? which i guess made pingshu angry so she killed mu zhengyang, and he, having nothing left to fight for, just let her kill him… i think. lol.
qi yunke's anger was still connected to the MZY/CP mess because if MZY never used pingshu to find the items and tempted nie hengcheng with ziwei method, nie hengcheng wouldn't have caused a rampage. pingshu learned disintegration method to kill nie hengcheng, and this method killed her eventually. qi yunke wanted to take revenge against anyone who contributed to pingshu's death, whether it be the demonic sect or other members o the six sects who "turned their backs" on pingshu.
that being said, i don't like this scriptwriter either 🤣
For real....all that blood. And the final scene where her Qi Yunke bursted out streams of blood and died felt…
I cannot trust this director/scriptwriter combo ever again bruh. I didn't even read the novel and have no plans to do so, but I just feel bad for the novel fans who probably feel disappointed with these types of changes to the story.
It was weird to me. Like this dude has already killed a bunch of people and they still chose to glamourise his death that way? It comes off as someone projecting themselves in their work 😵💫
- finally got the lore on the "Poison Demoness", the third Cai woman mentioned by Zhao Zhao in her introduction in Ep 1
- You Guanyue gloating over Song Yuzhi over the fact that his own brother betrayed him after Yuzhi wrongly accused the demom sect lmaooo yuzhi don't be a prick to your own saviours
- slowburn tension between MQY and Zhao Zhao 🫦 whenever the duet OST starts to play i just know the mood is right 😆
subs aren't perfect and they vanish at some point towards the end but better than nothing! they have another interview which actually has more cute banter between them but i can't find a subbed version on youtube for the life of me, just twitter 😭
What young audiences don't understand is you can't have a happy marriage when people close to you disapprove your…
Loved what you said here : "What young audiences don't understand is you can't have a happy marriage when people close to you disapprove your relationship with your beloved. Marriage is not only unifying two people, but two families, or in their case, two sects."
I am so frustrated with this lagging plot and the back-and-forth. CZ has had next to no character growth. I do…
I dropped two very popular cdramas partly because I didn't think the female leads showed believable character development and already seemed perfect from the start, just that they had goals to achieve. I got a Mary Sue impression from Cai Zhao from the beginning as well, but since I'm watching this because of Bao Shangen in the first place I had to expect it.
Idk even with recent female centric IPs I don't get why the men still get the better end of the stick. Mu Qingyan and Song Yuzhi have had better treatment of their characters than Cai Zhao and Qi Lingbo. Lingbo's uneven development is particularly prattling.
For all the shit this drama has gotten, it has actually managed to execute well the characterisation of the ML and FL, giving them enough complexity.
ML is the perfect antihero. His motives are actually right, to unify jianghu by uncovering the truth which will result in eradicating those who propagate hypocrisy. But his methods are madness because he doesn't know how to love unconditionally which involves learning to trust people and giving them the right to break his heart when they feel rightfully betrayed by his actions.
FL on the other hand, while she seems like a token good girl, she's not actually as noble as ML. She wants to stay in her comfort zone, a reasonable desire, but when her love for ML challenges her to give up that comfort, she feels compelled to do so, yet not entirely be sold to his ideals. Hence, even when she gives up something for him, she checks herself and backtracks instead of doubling down because she doesn't like what it costs.
She's the one with the messianic complex with regard to the ML, but ML is the one who wants to change the world for the better because he wants her.
as the audience i am rooting for them to just kiss already and square the f up against the man in black who is the actual cause of conflict and evil lol
Beautifully said! Totally agree! Especially the part where you said she wants peace within her world, but he wants…
That had been my biggest question too as someone who didn't read the novel. Why would she save him if she was gonna leave him afterwards? Is it because she was hurt by his scheming?
If her reason is because she wanted him to trust others and not be dependent on her, it makes sense and would be an interesting take on a messianic complex but it also needs to be delivered/executed well. Otherwise, people will just think they're breaking up for the same reason again.
OK so I'm kinda confused and don't know who to believe about something…
Is Nie Zhe's son, Si'en, really his son XD like the mama claimed it was his, but both Elder Yu and Si'en had the same mark so what's that supposed to mean???
mumuzhaozhao still my roman empire 🪽
