unless their primordial essence is saved before their death? a loophole? 🤣

They are completely gone unless their essence is saved in some way. That is the loophole I would think. I know he says they don't have souls but Ming Ye refers to himself as having a soul in a previous episode and Ji Ze also refers to the fact that it is his soul protecting the barren abyss after his death. So they clearly have something that can survive. I would assume in most cases their soul is destroyed when their body dies so there isn't usually reincarnation for them. But if their soul, or their primordial essence is saved like what happens with The Ancient Devil God and, assumedly, with TTJ at the end. Then they can return in some way.

In the original script this conversation takes places the same way but TTJ still returns in the final scene. So I do think, even though they changed it to an open ending, the implications are still the same for those that prefer that. As TTJ says to LSS in episode 39. "As long as your primordial spirit lives on, the entanglement between us will never end" And I guess we can make what we will of that final shot of TTJ and what that means for his primordial spirit.

Sang Jiu and Ming Ye's time in the bamboo forest was so beautiful.

When Ming Ye gets his sight back - the subtle shift in his eyes, all of the emotions - it was so well acted by Yunxi. 😭 One of my favourite pieces of acting in the whole drama.

My other favourite moment is them sharing the bed. Sang Jiu adorably cuddling up to him. If time had just stopped right there for them....

But once again it all goes very wrong afterwards.

I always thought it was interesting, because the story actually foreshadows TTJ's story. The king laid his entire body on the scale in sacrifice for the dove and dies. Tantai Jin did the same thing for Li Susu and the world at the end.

But the end of the story is that the gods were so moved by the sincerity of The King's sacrifice that they restored his body and he ascended as a God. Tantai Jin's sacrifice was sincere and without regret. (Where Sang Jiu felt regret) We don't get to see his body restored but it's something we've all speculated on given the final shot. (and given that the heart-guarding scale belonged to a God)

It was longer for one shot in particular. In the drama we saw about 3 seconds of them in the kneeling position kissing each other and most of it was out of focus. But we got a long extended clip of them kissing in that position in the bts. (like 30 seconds) I'm just sad most of the actual kissing part of this bts was edited out. 🤣

(Not that I didn't love the version in the drama as well. It was beautiful. I'm just greedy haha 😅)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MksxHJ3gJc8 - This bts will always be 🤌 I'm just grateful they actually released this through bts. Unlike the bts of their other bed scene which ended up leaked and deleted on Weibo! 🤣

TTJ and LSS may not have been Ming Ye and Sang Jiu literally, but by living their experiences and having their memories, they essentially did become them in a way. Those experiences impacted them and their relationship when they left Bo're Life.

Unfortunately, they didn't always learn from the mistakes of those characters straight away. 🤣

The scene where he tells her he never loved her will always make me so sad. He's hurting her so much even though he thinks he's doing the right thing for her. Poor Sang Jiu.

Ming Ye sitting alone, drinking, while crying is such a mood. 😭

THE scene. The consummation. Once again Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu pull off the sensual stuff with flying colours. I only wish it was longer 😂 (thank you bts footage)

The battle begins. Honestly remember being shocked how long that battle went on when watching episode 14 and 15 the first time.

Liu Yuning is second billed after Lusi. So I would assume he's the male lead. When the drama was announced he was listed as the male lead, majority of the reuters I've seen seem to be of them. Tang Xiao Tian is the second male lead.

It's from when it aired last year, I think. There were lots of little clips they did for promo. Same suit, same hair.

But always gorgeous. 😍

(His hair has also grown so much since then too)

This (and episode 9) are still some of my favourites in the drama So much tension. The confrontation between Ye Xiwu and TTJ in the cell was so well acted by them both.

The scarf dance (obviously
) it really is some of the most blatant sexual tension ive seen in a drama. There is a spark of feeling growing. And there is definitely sexual attraction. 🔥But also the part with him running after her. Despite everything there is some part of him that doesnt want to let her go.🤭

La'an's betrayal and the confrontation still hits the same. 🤌

I don't know, I guess it depends on what kind of drama you like to watch. TTEOTM is a Xianxia, and is one of the best and most fast pace in that genre imo. Love Between Fairy and Devil is also a popular Xianxia and is 36 episodes. It's more lighthearted than TTEOTM.
A Journey to Love is a decent recent Wuxia drama.
Wonderland of Love
Lost You Forever
If you're into modern, Love is Sweet (with the same leads as in TTEOTM) Reset or You are my glory,
Most C-Dramas are over 30 episodes though so if the length is the problem you could try one of the shorter ones like My Journey to You or Hidden Love. Both of them were popular last year.

Well there you go then. It just might not be for you, which is okay. Other people love it and found it fast paced as a Xianxia drama. But not everyone is going to be into the same kind of drama. If you're not enjoying it, you don't need to force yourself to watch it.

The scene where she shows him the sketch charm 🥰😍 the look of wonder on his face.

Also Ye Qingyu being mortified at catching them the next day. And TTJ asking him what exactly he thought they were doing will always make me laugh 🤣 🤭

This was a theory I read too. It's assumed the boy that Ji'Ze pushes into the mortal world is Pang Yizhi, and he's the one who gifts XL the scale. .Ji'Ze is also the one to remind Li Susu about Ming Ye wanting to give Sang Jiu his divine essence to save her. LSS doing this is what gives TTJ the ability to cultivate and ascend. They are hoping that he will be swayed their way, while the ancient devil god is convinced his suffering will sway him to his side.

I also think it's possible Ming Ye may have known the scale might end up saving TTJ's essence at the end too.

And now we have to wait another year for SLY to come out. Something tells me the next year is not going to go as fast. 😭

At least we have Follow Your Heart soon. 🙏

They're secretly laughing at all the clowning. 🥺😭

Only a few more weeks left of shooting. Then the long waiting game begins!

Because i'm fairly certain he's from another planet. He's too beautiful to be from this one 😂

They can! 🤭 Though ive seen them do multiple takes before too. Like with Sang Jiu and Ming Ye. The best parts of that one got edited out too actually 🤣 oh well. At least we have the bts of that one.

I'm so glad the video is released because once I saw those gif's I wasn't going to let that go 🫠 who knows what other unseen/extended stuff exists.

If you bookmark a post you should be able to go back to it in your twitter bookmarks.

I know newer accounts are automatically shadow banned for a period of time now and you can post but none of them will appear in the tags until after a certain amount of time. I have no clue why you wouldn't be able to post at all. That's very weird!
