Honestly I don't think the torture/whipping is happening at yao country.
In the novel there was a part that a minister of taijin wanted to kill FL and even torture her to confess she had betrayed the country but her father's presence stopped it. Now that her father seems to die, and the trailer clearly shows a minister sitting in front of her when getting tortured, I guess it is happening after or before Aoding took her prisoner
Hands down one of the best... if not the top one in Xianxia genre I have watched. Their chemistry was top notch, skinship natural, romance well built up, and the story was captivating from start to end. This is how an everlasting love Between 3[4] realms and lifetimes should be executed. Even when they forgot eachother, their souls and heart were allined and so in tune with each other. I loved that about this drama and as someone who hates amnesia arcs with passion!! It was the first time I enjoyed watching these too soulmates find their way to each other and fall in love all over again. It was such a breath of fresh air ! I did hope they would go more in depth as to what happened in human realm after FL is gone and how it went for supporting characters and Sima jiao's reaction, but I guess it was the limit they could go with for only 33 episodes. I will definitely rewatch it again
As much as I like a romantic scene as much as anyone else, it was so misplaced in the middle of war. Couldn't they do it after the killing of that commander ???
I don't think FL's behaviour is wrong. I just finished ep 3. So far it is clear, she doesn't believe ML is the killer, but everyone else does, and everyone, including zuge kong yun accuse ML based on evidence. If she wants to clear his name, she has to ask the exact questions she has heard all these times, and suspect every little details until there is enough evidence to show ML is innocent to others. She can't just say "yes, you are innocent because we were childhood sweethearts and I know you best". No one will be convinced and she won't be able to help him. Also there are lots of people who act as innocent and gentleman but years later you realize they were psychopath killers that even their spouse and parents never knew. Hell we saw tons of crime dramas with exact same plot as this. She can't use this reason to absolve him. Even ML doesn't expect it from her. He only wants her to suspect and not outright accuse him. So so far her behaviour makes sense.
Serieously... why change the perfect ending of the novel to such disaster of an OE ??? They changed FL's personality, removed the key character that was her master in the novel, changed her ability, changed ML's background story, and gave a skeleton of the novel with only the names of characters intact! If they were going to do this , why bother saying it is based on the novel?? With the main couple's acting skills and chemistry this drama could have been the best this year if they sticked to the novel. A true waste... to think I was waiting for this drama...
Why is it so good??? Now I'm scared for another 'Journy to love' tragedy!!! I'm already invested!! Perfect 7 episodes and also... they better release the OSTs fast!! It is rare that all soundtracks are perfect

He never touched any of them. They think he did. But he didn't. The only one he ever was intimate with in novel was FL and he will leave all the wives and concubine behind in the end of novel. I doubt the drama will change this aspect of novel

Personally, I think the story had a lot of potential but was a let down to some point. I liked the main couple.…
And about the ending, if I understood correctly HRY went back to the very begining, changed the keypoint events and then went back to were she first found BJS and died (as the villain already said to go back in time the one performing it will be sacrificed) and then her love tribulation ended and the time goddess sent her back to the very begging when she met BJS. So it means a restart of everything except in future she will have her kid with BJS and there will be no villain. Right?
Personally, I think the story had a lot of potential but was a let down to some point. I liked the main couple. Their complexity, struggles and clash of personality was very well portrayed. And to be honest, BJS is my favorite character to the end. He was such a steady character, it was interesting to see his silent protection and unwavering love for FL. But... a drama needs more than just main couple. There were few characters in story I actually cared about. Other than Li Mo and lianHua, the FL's maid, the kid and first deciple, I was fast forwarding all other parts. The love triangle between two deciples and the other girl from demonic sect was lacklustre. I really couldn't tolerate ZS's parts even for a moment (srsly is he being typecasted as delulu SMl?? In LOTDT and here, I find him detestable! The actor is really good but the roles given to him... a SML doesn't have to be this intolerable) and the ling'er's story was not that interesting either. Even villain had more compelling story than other supporting characters. The ending was at best vaguely explained and obviously there were a lot of room for explaining everything clearly if not for all the flashbacks and filler scenes. What is more... what was the role of the four higher gods and heavenly emissary in the end??? Other than punishing the main couple they had zero role. Even at ending war.... where were they?? It is sad because FL and ML's chemistry was perfect. I would love to see them collaborate again in future but the story it self was a wasted potential. If only they spent more on the main couple's story it would be great.
I did hope they would go more in depth as to what happened in human realm after FL is gone and how it went for supporting characters and Sima jiao's reaction, but I guess it was the limit they could go with for only 33 episodes. I will definitely rewatch it again
