AH :
In the novel, XY introduces TSJ to her mother directly. He meets and greets her (an important moment for a husband-to-be), while XL did not have an opportunity to do so and CX didn't have an opportunity to do so as an adult. As an adult, CX could only bow to XY's mother's empty grave. As far as we are ever shown in the novel, XL might have paid respects to Chi You when Gong Gong paid respects to him and Zhu Rong. But he didn't have an opportunity to meet Ah Heng or to pay respects to her.
So the fact that TSJ was the only one who didn't bow to XY's parents' portrait in the drama is quite strange.
Yes, but wasn't that the scene where A Heng asks, "Why HIM?" That's just a seriously awful thing to have your mom say about your fiancee.
Besides, the BIG thing to complain about that whole mess, is that it was XL that went to the Shaman King, not XY and Jing. That was an extra scene with XL I could have lived without, had we gotten the proper meeting instead. As it is now, XY never knows what the Lovers Bugs are.
