I actually like the FL's acting very much in this. first time I watch her in anything. Story wise, quite funny , meta and engaging. As for ML this is one if his strongest shows. I strongly disliked some of his previous work. tbh only one I truly liked was a journey to love (minus the ending) and I guess this one too π. But there are some letdowns. the story is supposed to be self aware , but falls to the very genre tropes they are trying to parody: -FL being a modern person, never questioning how she landed in the novel . -Falling in love at first sight with a masked hero who saved her.( the same way ML does but again never questioning it). -Can't recognize ML when he puts a mask on. -FL wishy washy with SML making no sense. -literally agreeing to stupid plots like stopping a forced marriage with SML she doesn't like for a potential forced marriage with an ML she hates?? Still , finding this VERY entertaining. A needed change from Flourished Peony , the other drama I am watching and enjoying currently which is way too serious lmao .
was excited for monday to come so that I can binge episodes after work and i forgot it's mangotv shitting over international audiences again. so I'll fucking wait for translations because I don't want an additional headache than the one I already have from work.
The ending is so weird. So her traveling back in time changed the outcome in different timelines but thatβs…
and it's basically one other timeline they never really told us how many there are . and i use exactly the same adjective to describe the ending.... weird
if you consider ML and FL together at the end as your bar for HE. it is a happy ending. but with the context of everything , it's not a gratifying ending.
Wait ur comment about the ML is like love between fairy and devil. I mean he was powerful as we see but because…
I feel like when you have a character like him especially an ML who is weakened over and over again throughout these many episodes, we kinda anticipate a triomphant return at the end. or else it's just too torturous. that's just gratifying story telling. I understand what they did here. but I still feel robbed.
Huh, if there is no evil can't she find him. The villain was their main threat else for years, they have been…
no he is also trying to test bis beliefs through mortals and immortals alike. so he is anything but just a villain who wants to do evil things and rule. in fact he is the opposite of that. he also created a weird out in that time travel artifact and gave to FL .
with that many deaths is it really? i don't know any way I don't feel quite happy π but yeah I would have prolly felt worse if they both died permanently idk.
it's a completely incoherent ending . writers wanting to be too clever. I feel like at the end of the double when they gave me that 5 min nonsense of ML and FL life to shut us up about the obvious sad ending
-So many unnecessary deaths. - ML was weak from day 1. never got to see really a true return to form for him. -Overcomplicating the villain to the point he doesn't make sense anymore. -so emissaries or whatever tf won't show up even when that piece of steel about to be shattered? so what's their point? -one of the weakest heaven armies I have seen in a xianxia. their lord or whatever dies and writers don't bother to even address the impact that has on them. -Time travel used to save different versions of her friends (1 other version? what about the others? ). -FL sect decimated with now someone with zero cultivation heading it. -what about the rule of heavens vs mortals existance? so FL back to ignoring heaven's cruelty and now focused on only looking for ML for a ten of thousands of years? -basically an ending with thousands questions that the writers prolly dont have answers for themselves. Way to ruin a xianxia drama that really tried hard to break the tired genre codes .Maybe it tried too hard.
ahhh ...that's not reasonable...this kinda ending will invite more criticism...and they've responsibilities to…
I will be the first one to criticize lmao. I hope for a a true happy ending with like 15 min at least of daily life of happiness f and not 3 seconds of them meeting after a long separation like in every xianxia

Last one I gave a 10 was Flourished Poney.
Nothing is clicking with me lately π
Loved FL in blossom

too many costume dramas ended in a weird way .
but yeah I would have prolly felt worse if they both died permanently idk.
