At the end we're all humans ruled by our emotions
I usually don't like watching modern dramas but after When Destiny Brings the Demon I got interested in Arthur Chen and decided to give it a shot. It has become one of my favourite dramas to date.
I admit, I have a type of ML that I like. I'm attracted to capable people who have confidence in themselves and their abilities. But even more so, Li Xun has touched me as someone who is not always perfect, not always considerate of the feelings of others but always strives to do his best, whether to help in his own way or to prevent others from feeling his own pain. He's a bit clumsy with it however, he doesn't realise that people will feel pain for him.
I think a lot of people say he's a red flag. But i think in this society, everyone strives to be seen as perfect. Not just in looks but also public image. But I would like to ask, how do you view yourselves?
Perhaps I relate to this ML because sometimes it's hard to play these people games. Sometimes I know I'm selfish, i can be immature, i can be stubborn and opinionated. We are humans and we have faults. But like what the FL said, it's easy to stand from afar and criticise without understanding it from the person's point of view. If I had undergone what Li Xun experienced in his youth, I'm not sure if I could stand as strong as he, and for that I really admire this character.
Some criticised him for shouting at others, for hurting the FL with his words, for only caring about the bigger picture and not the feelings of others. He's a realist. He is forced to be, because of his situation. Who has not felt overwhelming rage, enough to let you lose all rational thought? Or overwhelming sadness and guilt over decisions that you cannot ever take back that resulted in circumstances beyond your control? If you have never experienced such things, bless your lucky life, please cherish it.
Overall, the couple is cute. I like both of them. They support each other come what may and always try their best for each other. it's rare to ever find people like the both of them in today's society.
I think it always serves as a reminder to not judge a book by its cover. You don't know what the other person has gone through. I hope seeing FL's mother in the show, people would be able to reflect and understand that people have their reasons sometimes. It might not produce a result you agree with, but we are human, not AI. We come into the world with a blank page and fill it with our experiences gained. We don't always make the wisest decisions and we might get emotional but our intentions might not be bad. As someone who has always been misunderstood by friends and family because I'm not good with words... i understand this ML too well.
Anyway, i'm giving this a perfect score. I enjoyed the journey thoroughly and will be rewatching the cute parts definitely for serotonin (:
May Li Xuns and Zhu Yuns of today live great lives that contribute to changing the world for the better.
