Oh really? I wouldn’t mind a 2nd season but I hope they finish the first one well

I guess I didn’t explain myself well. I am not against XLH wanting to change DFQC by fixing his Love Tree. I just want her to acknowledge that some of his suffering was because of her doing too. Her lack of awareness of why he couldn’t sleep well for example was too clueless for me.
Most of the time, I’m not bothered by how naive XLH is because she is usually insightful and is intelligent in her own way.
Your explanation makes sense and I agree that we no longer see the sweet innocent XLH once she regains herself fully as Goddess Xiyun.

Yes! Poong is very smart too but he was humbled by his traumatic experience. I am looking forward to seeing him regain his confidence and together they make even more of a power couple!

XLH has definitely shown emotional intelligence throughout the show. Not only that, she’s also insightful. Even Rong Hao didn’t expect her to see through his fake Chang Heng scheme.

Episode 4 was more tense as the stress hit closer to home! I’m liking Eun Woo more as she displays an insightful side and high EQ. I also enjoyed seeing how the Gye Su Clinic family rallied together to save a life.
Now the wait for ep 5 😢

So true - Esther does look very pretty in this show. She also looked lovely in Moonlight. I just expect DFQC and CH to melt whenever she gazes up at them. Definitely brings out the protective instinct in me 😁

By the end of ep 18, it’s obvious XLH deserves a shout out for having courage. She faced down the ferocious Ying Zhou beast, she did not get intimidated by the mean fairies, she handled herself whenever the Haishi City baddie and his sidekick appeared, she didn’t cave under the emperor’s torture to confess that she was a spy, she dove to the bottom of the Memory Loss river, and most importantly she completely ignored most of DFQC’s orders… that girl is brave as heck！

That’s not my point at all. Of course everyone has the right to emotions and believe me, I’m not hating on XLH. I like her and I do want her to do her thing to heal DFQC. But I also just want her to show a bit more self awareness and realize that some of his torment at that time (ep 17) was because of her doing.

Agree. Of course I want her to continue on her quest to heal him. It’s more that she is still portrayed as this clueless “oh why is he not sleeping well? And not connecting his current torment to what she was doing. I like XLH but I would be disappointed if they don’t showing her becoming more aware and emotionally more matured

Yes! Thank you!

No, I realize what the theme is all about. I only wanted XLH not to be the usual tropey FL.

I accept that but I would prefer her to add some awareness to her natural instinct.

I wouldn’t call her dumb, more super naive because of her age and sheltered life. XLH did display some EQ in past episodes. However after all her recent experiences and with DFQC so clearly telling her about why he’s suffering and why he cannot regain his feelings, it would have been nice to see some character growth and some hesitation that maybe what she was doing may not be best for him. Maybe it is too much to expect the FL to think about the big picture…

I agree that she is too naive about Jieli. The first time, fine l - she had no clue but to defend her over and over again. It was hypocritical for XLH to tell DFQC that it was wrong from someone to break into another’s house but that was exactly what Jieli did. She even lied to cover up for Jieli.

I’m sure ep 18 will help to overcome my annoyance with XLH but the fact still remains that she was blindly focused on her quest to heal him without considering the cost to him.
We the audience and he will thank her because he can now feel and ultimately them being together is what we all want.
I just wish this show did not follow the usual trope of the naive FL innocently continuing with what she does and how she is. Ultimately it is the others who will change around her. I want her to have a bit more emotional growth by now.

I’m on episode 17 and appreciate all that XLH is doing for DFQC to help him heal. At the same time though I’m annoyed because even after he clearly told her why he was so troubled and suffering because his emotions are coming back., she still doesn’t seem to connect the dots. Does she not see that he does not want to lose his Hellfire powers?
When XLH said that she must find the Secret Book in the First Supreme Moon Lord’s room in order to find out what’s bothering DFQC’s sleep, I’m like ‘Duh, girl he cannot sleep because you are insisting on making him feel again. Is that obvious???’
I know that’s just how the screenwriter is writing the plot to progress the romance but I feel it’s a bit weak to make XLH that stubbornly naive and unable to understand DFQC’s dilemma. She is blindly pushing on with her own agenda and goal to “heal” him.

There are hints of it by the end of episode 3 but at this point it’s more the ML that appeared to be admiring the FL first

Episode 3 was awesome…leads showcasing their intelligence through solving the case, hints of romance as the ML’s admiration of the FL became more obvious, political shenanigans, with some comic relief…I like how Eun Woo helped to translate Poong’s medical jargon to his confused audience 😆
I’m curious about Kye Ji Han, the grumpy physician’s background. He definitely has secrets…

You’re right…the 1st episode surprised me since it didn’t match the tone of the opening credit song. Then the 2nd episode had a mixed comic and tragic tone. I find it refreshing and already think 12 episodes may be too short 😀

I think she will in the end but there will be some betrayal based on the clips shown 😠
