Yeah, sometimes it doesn't translate exactly and when you read the english subs, you know it doesn't and it just irks you 😅

Exactly! Jing Zhao punishment, and the unsatisfying ending of not having an extended moment between Bai Jue and Shang Gu, will always be unfulfilling and unsatisfying to me 😭😭 All I can do is let my imagination do it's work 😅😂😭

This is a link my friend shared me which is an explanation that explains what happened in episode 55: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXgQ2ds5AUw

^ After watching that video, it somewhat explains a few things, originally, I too thought it was a flashback, but then after watching it, I don't think it's a flashback anymore.

As for that scar on her forehead, I always thought it was the scar, when she fell and hurt herself (after her grandfather was killed by the Gold Diety bastard), because her forehead was bleeding back then. Never did I thought it was related to her powers, but then it's been a while since I've watched 'The Legends', so don't remember the details.

Yeah, I know about the whole culture and how one dresses when grieving for someone, but isn't that usually displayed over someone's death? She knows Mo Qing is not dead, only in seclusion, so she don't need to wear it?? But honestly for me, I do prefer her being back to how she used to wearing red, even with the mark/scar on her forehead is more "Zhao Yao" to me, so all good. Thanks for trying your best to explain hahahaha. For me, I am someone who likes to pay attention to these details, so when it does confuses me, through some of these details, it can't help but made me questioned when it happened. But all good, The Legends is still a good drama, ignoring these faults, since like I said I do like the drama on my end.

The 2nd arc starts towards the end of episode 16. Only Shang Gu was reborn as Hou Chi. Shang Gu original being is sleeping inside Hou Chi. Basically Hou Chi is Shang Gu, if that makes sense. But Hou Chi do not have the memories of her past as Shang Gu. She will get this back later.

ML (Bai Jue) didn't die, so he didn't got reincarnated. Bo Xuan is actually Bai Jue, behind a mask. He uses a different identity, to take care of Hou Chi for 10,000 years, before he proceed with his plan. I won't spoil the details of his plans.

Qing Mu.... Well, I won't spoil that either, you will get your answer when you watch on.

Yeah, I compared the subs between Dramacool and WeTv, definitely the subs, well for the last 3 episodes I've checked is better in Dramacool.

Hahaha, I meant stab her 1000 times but she don't die. It's just a reflection on how much I hate her 😂 Yes, we can let our imagination do it's work, although I prefer to get this scene canon then letting our imagination do it's work LOL 😅

I was rewatching that scene again today 😍😍 Bai Jue swordsmanship was really cool indeed. Love the way how Shang Gu looks at Bai Jue in that scene haha

I think another thing, aside from editing that I don't quite like, is how they made Zhao Yao and Mo Qing (FL and ML) weaker than they were in the beginning, but ignoring that, I still love the Legends. But if I were to choose between The Legends and ALP, I personally love ALP better.

At first, I thought it was the 'flashback' too, after Mo Qing and Zhao Yao defeated the Gold Bastard (evil guy), because it shows Zhao Yao was fighting with Mo Qing's demon self, but then, someone pointed out that it was not a flashback scene, but it was a scene that took place in the actual present time, when the necklace was dropped (the same necklace that Mo Qing gave to Zhao Yao back then, which was said that it can look into the subconscious/the person's heart), so in that scene when Zhao Yao wanted to calm Mo Qing down since he was fighting against his inner demon to remain control, he pushed Zhao Yao away and told her to not touch him, because he didn't want to hurt her, and that's when the necklace dropped, and "that scene" where you thought it was a flashback, someone pointed out it isn't, and it was Zhao Yao entering into Mo Qing's subconscious, which is his inner demon, to fight against his inner demon. The one Zhao Yao killed then, where you saw her put her sword through him which the real Mo Qing let her do it, was inside his subconscious, and when he fell into the Abyss, that's all inside Mo Qing's subconscious.

And then the whole thing ended, and return to the present time, where Mo Qing, was in that state, and then they returned back to their sect, which lead to all the events that played out later in that ending.

I get the whole sealing the sword part, because it needed to happen, but another confusing moment was when one of the sequence that shows "5 years later"(the writer sure have a thing for doing a "5" year time skip lol, since this is the third time), Zhao Yao retired from being the sect leader because she want to wait for Mo Qing to come out from seclusion, at that time, she wears white and changed her hair style and her scar on her forehead is gone.....And she was travelling around to see how the others was doing, that was when she changed her hair-style and the scar was gone, but then when its shown that Mo Qing sealed the sword and came out of seclusion, after he dropped the sword down the water, when he came out, she's back to wearing red and her original hair style AND the scar is back, and I am like "????????? What happened????" That part was confusing, so how was her scar gone in one of the scene, while she was waiting for him, and then later when he comes out of seclusion after totally ridding the demons inside him, the scar is back???

I understand 'The Legends', but the second half of the story, there's quite a few plot holes, like the part, where it never explained how Zhao Yao got her sword back, when the whip girl took it to begin with, and when Mo Qing, first lost control to his demon after he locked himself up to try to keep in control, Zhao Yao came and was going to fight him, in that moment, it shows they both disappeared, and then the fight was completely skipped, the next moment we saw Mo Qing in bed and his demons was sealed, that was never explained. Honestly, towards the end, I was very confused with the story some parts, I was forced to accept it, since that's how it played out, but even so, it never really explained how it happened so it's confusing. I get why fans are confused, because I am the same. Some scenes also felt like it was placed in that doesn't sequenced properly.

I do love 'The Legends', don't get me wrong, but the editing on the second half, especially the ending is really bad, and confusing for me to understand. Although with that all said, it is good to know there are those people who understood it and what happened.

Got my friend to watch 'The Legends', and he just finished it, and told me how the second half of the story, especially towards the ending was so confusing 😂😂😂 I can totally relate to that LOL 😂 Because the scenes is not sequenced properly 😅 And now I am getting him to watch ALP on my end, I told him between the two, ALP, is better, because it's on par with TMOPB and ELOD level(which he loves). I honestly hope he starts soon, because I am looking forward to hearing what he thinks, I hope he feels positive about ALP😅😅 (not sure if it was a wise choice to raise his expectations up for ALP like that to be the same level of master-piece as TMOPB and ELOD XDD. Well I guess I will see eventually how he feels about ALP story, characters and pairing).

One of the best moments in the drama, the part when Yuan Qi finally called him father hits home. Love that touching moment T^T

The last 3 episodes felt short to me. And I'm not very happy with how the ending ended. Wanted to be extended with more scenes than what we were given :(

But overall I still love it.

Glad you liked the fight, because I did too! I think the fight is good, we already ran out of time with that brief happy ending so dragging the fight longer will make some of the later scenes be cut out and I don't want that (lol).

Mu Guang is a lost cause, I don't like him and he's useless indeed. He knows some of those things Wu Huan did but he turned a blind eye and can still forgive her. I hated how at the end of all this, he can still forgive her and beg Shang Gu to not kill Wu Huan 😒😑 so honestly, I don't pity his death/sacrifice at all. Just like Shang Gu said, he have disappointed them(and me too).

Jing Zhao punishment......was that she became mute where she can no longer talk, and well you can see she can't communicate verbally with her mother at the end, although how she doesn't show any remorse of what she's done..... poisoning Bai Jue, a true god, I still think she deserves a heavier punishment than that....I imagine Jing Zhao was stripped of her immortal status in the end though. I imagine her suffering to see her mother, Wu Huan like that, but she can't say any words to comfort her, nor could Wu Huan understand Jing Zhao, since Jing Zhao no longer can speak...both were deprived/stripped off their immortal powers..

Yes, if you gather the hints together, its Bai Jue.

The one who disguised as "Feng Ran" to play with Yuan Qi is Bai Jue himself. That was revealed to be true. Thats also the "Feng Ran" that Yuan Qi came to really love that day.

Tian Qi also revealed later in ep 48, that it isn't the first time Bai Jue disguised as "Feng Ran" to secretly play with Yuan Qi. So he did it several times but under the diguised as "Feng Ran" instead.

When Bai Jue was taking care of Shang Gu, that flashback scene where you see, before he changed to "Feng Ran", he told Shang Gu(while she was still in coma), that she didn't need to wake up so quickly, she can wake up after the tribulation of chaos ended(after he sacrificed himself), that time he told her, that he will come here to accompany her everyday. Even if she's still in coma, he will come see her everyday secretly.

When Bai Jue made those toy weapons, he always gives them to Tian Qi to give to Yuan Qi, because he can't do it directly, so all those toy weapons you see Yuan Qi have, they're actually from Bai Jue.

In one of the episode, after Shang Gu wakes up, Bai Jue came by because he wanted to give those gifts to Yuan Qi, but at that time Tian Qi was already annoyed, since both Shang Gu and Yuan Qi was pestering him that "he's hiding something from them", before all this, Bai Jue was told off by Tian Qi that if he comes by regularly he will get angry (lol), because it makes it so hard for him to keep this a secret for him.

So really, Bai Jue, was there at those times, but he can't do so directly. Only indirectly on his end, and secretly too.

P.S. if you're up to ep 45, then I do think you will enjoy ep 48 since it will answer some of our questions

I think we can all agree to that

TMOPB have a more fulfilling ending when compared to ALP imo.

I actually timed it...for ALP, the close up angle of their hug was only 33 seconds... which was very disappointing. This is why I wish there was an ep 50 to wrap up the story in a more fulfilling note after Bai Jue came back.

- Ok, in episode 48, Tian Qi revealed that from 'time to time', Bai Jue disguised himself as "Feng Ran" to secretly play with Yuan Qi.... So this tells us it happened more than once....

- We even saw (in our face evident) that Bai Jue changed into "Feng Ran" that one time to play with Yuan Qi. This was the "Feng Ran" where Yuan Qi came to really love that day.

- Bai Jue also made these toy weapons for Yuan Qi, and asked Tian Qi to give them to him... so all the toy weapons that Yuan Qi received are actually a gift from Bai Jue....

- It is not the first time, that Bai Jue visited Qingchi Palace to secretly watch both Yuan Qi and Shang Gu. This was revealed, in one of the episodes where Tian Qi told Bai Jue off because him coming here regularly makes it hard for Tian Qi to keep this a secret for him and he even told him that he will get angry. It was also the scene where Bai Jue said he came because he wanted to give these toy weapons to Yuan Qi.

In episode 48, when Yuan Qi spend his time with Bai Jue, this time without Bai Jue disguising as "Feng Ran", Yuan Qi already figured out that when "Feng Ran" took him to the human realm back then was his father, Bai Jue. So in the end, it was hinted Yuan Qi knew, because he can put the puzzles together. He's not dumb.

So, Bai Jue have been secretly playing with Yuan Qi and spending time with Yuan Qi back then as "Feng Ran", this was revealed that it didn't happened once but several times, because Tian Qi revealed this to us in episode 48, Bai Jue just didn't know how to use his real self to play with Yuan Qi, but thanks to Tian Qi, he finally was able to.

Yes, it is true, that Bai Jue have missed a lot of firsts..... This only makes it more sadder, because if there's a choice, I believe he would want to be there for Yuan Qi's first.For me personally, I don't see that Bai Jue was neglecting Yuan Qi, because when he got time, he will actually spend time with him secretly. If Bai Jue is neglecting Yuan Qi because it was his way to protect him, then is Shang Gu going to be put into that same category when Bai Jue was gone and she spent all those years waiting for him? She left Yuan Qi to Zhi Yang's care on her end... I am not dragging Shang Gu in to blame her, but just saying if Bai Jue is put into that category, did anyone also put Shang Gu in that category to be fair??

If you never see that about Shang Gu, then don't put that label on Bai Jue. If you can understand this from Shang Gu's perspective, try to understand Bai Jue

Anyways, in the end, take your pick. For me,
Bai Jue did love and care for Yuan Qi, this much was revealed if you understand the story. I don't and won't label either of them as negligence parents; because I don't see them as one. But ofcourse those who do, I don't expect you to agree.

Did you miss the time when Bai Jue disguised himself as Feng Ran and played with Yuan Qi? Tian Qi revealed it didn't happen just once so it happened more than once...

Did you miss the part when it revealed that Bai Jue said he will be here with her every day when Shang Gu came back??? This is when he was taking care of her when she's still in coma....

Just because he can't be there under his real appearance, but him using "Feng Ran" appearance and all those hints, already tells us that it's not the first time he did it...when he played with Yuan Qi...

He even got told off by Tian Qi because him going there every day secretly makes it harder for Tian Qi to keep this a secret for him....

Did you forget the toys that he made for Yuan Qi and gave to Tian Qi for Yuan Qi????

So you call this negligence??? Have you ever tried to understand the story as a whole???

Bai Jue have been using indirect methods to spend time with Yuan Qi...and Yuan Qi knew in the end when they had their time in episode 48 so this is not parent negligence....if he actually spends time with Yuan Qi, even when it was under the diguise of "Feng Ran" everytime it happened. The "Feng Ran" that Yuan Qi comes to really love is actually his father, that disguised as Feng Ran, so honestly, this is not negligence...if you think it's negligence then did you see Shang Gu was neglecting Yuan Qi when she spent 503 years waiting for Bai Jue to return??? She left Yuan Qi to Zhi Yang and Tian Qi's care too....

If you dont see Shang Gu as a neglecting parent, then don't put this label on Bai Jue. If you can understand this from Shang Gu's perspective, try to understand Bai Jue too, afterall, it was revealed Bai Jue left Yuan Qi to Tian Qi's care was to protect him, from Wu Huan...

You dont get it do you...?

What do you want him to do? To just sit there and do NOTHING at all, and let her sacrifice herself again?

Why he did that is because it shows us and her(even if YOU FAILED to see that) how much he loves her to want to take her place in this sacrifice instead.

And FYI, No one wants to see the person you love dies. His sacrificial love for her comes from how he wants to protect her from dying.

And when one sacrificed itself for the peace of the three realms, you are supposed to sacrifice every being of you (soul and body), so if your soul is gone, then the chances of you being reborn is close to zero.

Bai Jue stopped the process back then when Shang Gu sacrificed herself, so even if her body is gone, her soul wasn't, that's why she can still be reborn.

If it weren't because of all this being their love trial, and Shang Gu begged the ancestors god to bring Bai Jue back in the end, then Bai Jue wouldn't have been able to return to her. Because she have waited 503 years for him, and he didn't come back or reborn at all, so it was a miracle in which the Ancestors Gods fulfilled for Shang Gu since that is her wish.

If Bai Jue knew about this, and didn't do anything and let her die, then there wouldn't even be a touching love story to tell.

To Bai Jue, he only wanted to protect Shang Gu and all he wanted was her safety, ofcourse before he sacrificed himself, he ensured that she can live on happily so she wont feel sad when he's gone, that's all and what he can do for her, because he loves her, loves her so much that he can't just sit back and do nothing so him taking her place in this sacrifice is showing us and her how much he loves her and is willing to take her place.

So stop only seeing this from Shang Gu's pov. What Bai Jue is doing now, Shang Gu did the same to him back then....the only difference is, unlike how Shang Gu did not take into consideration how Bai Jue being left alone after she's gone to grief for her, Bai Jue at least did everything he could to ensure Shang Gu can forget about him and this relationship so this makes it less hurtful in the long run...

And again, Shang Gu isnt the only one suffering, Bai Jue have suffered MORE than her.....

Yeah it happens a lot, not so much on western side but Chinese side, some are paid to make such toxic comments from what I know. If a series is popular there are sometimes paid haters to make such hate comments to mark it down so the series wont be so popular. That goes the same for actors. I think we can learn a thing or two from FIYS with how little things can also spread hate on Weibo on certain players and that is only for E-Sports, so you can really imagine that actors had it more hard.

So it's really sad when that happens, cyber abuse is never a pleasant feeling. No actors deserve that. You dont like then don't watch. No need to directly attack an actor with hate comments like that! 😒😒

Some are paid to do it though. Its not uncommon, and it's just disgusting imo. If something is popular, they became the centre to attention, this is why for me, sometimes not being popular is a blessing in disguise because at least they are protected from being targeted....but that thought is just sad though...

And you really can tell if the comments are just there to spread hate or for the sake of hating....trolls... 😒😒😑😑

Yeah, good to know Bai Lu is doing good now and yes, I have seen her drama with Yunxi hahahaha, Yunxi is another actor I love.

I honestly hope Xu Kai will get paired with Bai Lu again, because they really did have great chemistry. It will be a shame if they can't collaborate again. Whatever it is, I do hope that they didn't let what happen ruin their friendship.

Xu Kai will always have my support. I am glad I came to love him in ALP. It's the first drama I've seen him in and fell in love with. The Legends is another one I love, and I also love him in FIYS, he really have a way of bringing the best in the characters he played in these respective dramas.

Yes, their loss for not knowing how to appreciate a complex and loveable character such as Bai Jue, but glad to know that at least some of us did in here ^^

Yeah, that really did. Yeah the subs aren't exactly translated as per what's been said 😅 wetv subs arent that great in translation from what I gathered. However whoever did the subs for 47-49 that was uploaded on Dramacool was good imo, since they translated it better.

Oh Jing Zhao is such a bitch to the end. I wanted to stab her 1000 times everytime she open her freaking mouth to speak!! 😒😒 so I am glad she's mute now!! I can't believe she have no remorse and cursed Shang Gu at the end, like wtf!!! Even her elder brother redeemed himself for me at least...but her?! She don't even feel remorse for what she's done!! She poisoned Bai Jue, a true god, which is a death crime!!! 😒😒😒 but in the end, I will just imagine how she will suffer in the end, by not being able to speak again and communicate with Wu Huan, and I do think her seeing her mother being crazy like this hurts her... so, urgh, even if I wanted to see her being punished more, I'll just take that she is not going to live a happy life to see her mother like that lol
