I JUST WANT A SEASON 2
I don't even care what other fans say. I don't know if they watch anything outside of asian dramas, but as someone who watches lots of western and asian dramas, ny experience with western dramas makes me adept to seeing cliffhangers.ALL THESE PEOPLE SAYING "ITS AN OPEN ENDING", like no open endings don't end abruptly they leave room for imagination but it is still in a sense "resolved".
This ending was abrupt and clearly setting up a new threat of sorts.
I dont know what's happening with production but this needs a season 2.

Its good, but i was disappointed
I don't usually write reviews cus usually im pretty spot on with the ratings for myself. If i expect it to be good its usually good (imo btw) and when its bad its bad. But this show disappointed me, I expected an 8.5-9 but this show ended up at an 8 specifically because of the story.Don't get me wrong overall the show was great, acting great, quality is great, pacings not the best but still fine. But what annoyed me was the ending.
Considering the leads loved each other for 3 lifetimes and 2 of which hong ye dies by the hands of xiao yao, I felt there was no reason for them to have a tragic ending. Hong Ye dying the first time, atoning in his second life and by karma experienced betrayal by the hands of his loved one (ik xiao yao didnt have control but in terms of his pov) was more than enough of suffering for not just Hong Ye but also Xiao Yao.
The tragic ending I felt was unnecessary, and honestly it would've been better if either of them died or both died, but instead we have Hong Ye forever sealed and Xiao Yao going through a memory loop.
Eternal suffering and torture for both the leads, I think it's unnecessary especially after the 10000 years of suffering they both already endured.
In fact I think the supporting characters Bingzhu, Tan'er and Pian Pian had a far better ending and hence better story.
I'm overall still going to say its a good drama but I'm just disappointed and I think there was more potential for satisfaction.
