The plot is problematic.

I am speechless. Normally I don't really write reviews, but this story aggrevates me.It has nothing to do with acting, cinematografie and not even with the music. They where pretty good. Slapstick is not really my humor, but I can apprechiate it. It's just the plot that is truly problematic.I am not into polyamory, but I am of the opinion: To each their own. If somebody else chooses to live in polyamory and everybody agrees, go ahead and be happy.But! If one does not agree and the others plot to trap him for his money... then there is something wrong.Please somebody tell me if I understood something wrong. If that is the case then I appologize. If not then please work on a plot that has all parties agreeing in some extend. Or make it into a drama.Still give it two points, because everything else was fine apart from the plot.

7.0/10 - The couples episode.

Are Rong Hao and Xie Wan Qin the true love story here? I'm starting to think so. For some reason I thought Orchid would end up being Xie Wan Qin or a fragment of her. Or something. But a little sister . . . now I like that. What I didn't expect was how in to Rong Hao and Xie Wan Qin as a couple I'd be. He's done so many things to get her back! This is clearly the couples episode. Dongfang asking Shang Que what he feels for Orchid and how he reacts differently to her now what so cute. Espeically as Shang Que looks at Jie Li and confesses he has the same ailment. Poor Shang Que not being tortured by Jie Li as Jie Li constantly tries to "help" Orchid. Poor Orchid who has decided, despite caring fr Dongfang, she can't ally with him. Especially as she's trying to stop him from doing whatever he's planning and keep Chang Heng safe. Chang Heng who remembers his fairy love, but will marry Chi Di Nu Zi | Xie Wan Qin because of the promise. Funny that this time around Chang Heng is not being held to it by anyone but himself. It's even weirder seeing Dan Yin as a boy named cricket! Poor Dan Yin. I feel like the writers just want to torture her. I hope she get a Happily Ever After at some point.

I can only assume this is the part of Orchid's destiny the Turtle was talking about! It's interesting in the dream Orchid eventually hugged Xie Wan Qing . In the mirror her face over took Orchid's but in the dream the little girl (I assumed was Orchid) hugged Xie Wan Qing. Is Orchid her sister and Xie Wan Qing did something dangerous to keep her primordial soul from being destroyed? Or I'm over thinking it.Orchid is distancing her self from Dongfang Qing Cang after he stated he'd take over Orchid's land and people. After he asked if she could let go and be with him, and she asked if he'd let go of his path for her it's clear these too are stubborn!!! Ha-ha! It also broke my heart a little. I was super surprised Chang Heng jumped to enter the mortal realm for trials after Dan Yin said he'd marry Orchid. What's more shocking is the baby that Dongfang Qing Cang's younger brother found is Xie Wan Qing's reincarnation or soemthing? Was her spirit broken up? So the baby will grow up to look like Orchid . . . or what. I feel like I'm missing something key here! This was more of a setup episode for the next act. I know there's more to go, but I want a passionate kiss between Orchid and Dongfang Qing Cang! I'm curious to see what is going to happen with Dongfang Qing Cang, Orchid, Shang Que, and Jie Li pretending to be mortal. part of me thought Orchid was going to find out that Chang Heng became mortal and jump in after him. Speaking of holy cow Dan Yin! My poor girl! That unwavering love. I do truly hope that Dan Yin and Chang Heng end up together.

8.0/10 - Keep the feelings coming.

Picking right up from the last episode the emotional roller coaster continues. Dongfang Qing Cang's conversation with his father just makes all the feels go crazy. I honestly didn't expect Dongfang Qing Cang to decide to keep his feelings. Especially since he already went through the first part of removing his emotions. Deciding to keep the grief of killing his father and all those cruel emotions to try and keep the good. The goodbye between the two broke me as Dongfang Qing Cang could not give his father peace. (I don't blame him.)Dongfang Qing Cang immediately feels the consequence as the day is his fathers death and his brother execution. Dongfang Qing Cang stops the strikes and takes the majority of them in place of his brother. Orchid is amazing standing up for Dongfang Qing Cang and making his little brother face the reality. Even giving Dongfang Qing Cang advice later how to deal and mend fences. What's more Dongfang Qing Cang makes Orchid take care of him longer than she needs to and that was cute. Especially after she comforted him. Clearly from here out we're going to be getting way more emotional stuff. Which is great. But it's clear that Orchid expects Dongfang Qing Cang to change a lot and I doubt he's reading to give up his goal of taking over the fairies and war. This episode and the last one didn't do much to expand the other plots and characters. We're deep diving into Dongfang Qing Cang. I'm waiting for some of those intense LOVE emotions to strike with our forbidden romance.

Another gorgeous episode

The story, dialog, lighting, color palette, music; everything was once again absolute art. I'm glad to know that Wang is Longitude in English. Sasiwimol is once again lonely because she spent her adult life chasing after and insisting on having a man who didn't want her and then blaming someone else for him never loving her. Then when he died, she sent away her only son, focused only on her career and her hatred, and refused to form actual relationships with people. So yes, here she sits alone in her hotel room blaming her son for not joining her. I have such mixed emotions of disgust and sympathy for her while Wang is out here exposing all of the truths of the world.

9.0/10 - Powerful.

Hats off to the writers for making Dongfang Qing Cang's back story so emotional and amazing! It's so good. My emotions are being put through the ringing! Every time I think it can't jerk at my heartstrings a new string is plucked. What's more is how Orchid has complete faith that there is more to it than what people are saying about Dongfang Qing Cang. Oh, My poor, sweet, Dongfang Qing Cang. To see what happens to the maid. Then watching him subject himself to having his Love Root killed again after him trying to set fire to it with his Hell Fire didn't work. I mean. His Love Root is fully revived and watching him face the anguish of feeling is so painful. Yet he didn't notice he was using Hell Fire to try and kill the Root. (Or am I just confused by what the Hell Fire looks like.) It's unclear of fear of losing his power or feeling those emotions drives him to go through that terrible torture again. Or something else all together. Orchid's belief that there was more is truly amazing. Searching for clues and finally figuring out how to get the answers. Orchid is going to have to face that she truly feels for Dongfang Qing Cang. That ending!!!!!!
