Love on the Turquoise Land Episode 29

Inner conflict

This episode had the biggest battle yet between hunters and earth fiends. Luo was given a similar vibe as River in Serenity movie. She definitely went beserk and did a lot of damage. For as intense as this battle was it didn’t have that big of an emotional impact on me because I really don’t care about most of these characters. It had the makings of a good story but it wasn’t fleshed out enough to really feel engaged with a lot of the cast. It was interesting having Luo’s mom there, but her finishing off Lin XiRou and Luo making a rookie mistake with sword while Yan Tuo was not able to provide backup with a decent weapon, greatly diminished the viewers’ satisfaction at the ending of a major villain. The mom has taken Luo to parts unknown and Yan Tuo wakes up by the doc after being in a coma. The hunters have made memorials for the lost hunters but their weapons and capabilities were so mismatched with the earth fiends that it simply made me wonder what happened to their training and why weren’t they more innovative with long range weaponry. It’s truly a wonder any of them survived because Luo was the only one making serious damage and she ended up stabbing XiRou rather than pithing her from an aerial attack. We are given more of the doc’s back story and why he assisted both sides. This should have been the earth shattering battle of the ages between these two groups and it really was more meh than good job kicking ass. There was a lot of buildup but that turned out to be better than the actual confrontation.
