RURU

tho i must say the rest of the show was spectacular! The best relationship dynamic and the equality in every sense of the word was so beautiful. They both understand one another by being in the other's shoe so by the end they are soulmates in every sense. THE ACTING, THE DIRECTING, THE CHEMISTRY, THEY ATE

china's regulations need to change or they will never make masterpieces cz of botched endings. At least this time the FL's return was the smoothest but it never makes sense how the partner magically remembers and they didnt even attempt with this ML, it was just a stare and smile. IS THIS A HAPPY ENDING? NO. at least show us how she explains herself or how their relationship starts in this world for once; an extra episode for that would be a nice touch and it wouldn't be against their regulations instead of these half-hearted 2 min "oh he's my ML/FL here as well"

him being around is not the issue, it's the way she's handling him cz he should NOT be by her side this long (even as a final villain) 18 years of friendship go down the drain with the amount of distrustful actions he's done especially what he did to her body recently (which i guess is the final straw for her but too little too late )all could've been avoided or at least done by him as a villain in her eyes and not her friend/subordinate whom she allows to still act this way with no reprecausions

the rant is for the FL's only flaw which is her leadership skills in regards to shu and the way she deals with him however EVERYTHING else is perfect. the second lead is perfectly following his role of a delusional prick but my only issue is the way the FL's handling it that ends up affecting the rest of the story cz he CAN BE DELUSIONAL BUT NOT BY HER SIDE FOR THIS LONG even as a final villain, he broad and scheme as far away from her if she just removes these rose colored glasses she has with him. Otherwise the whole show's worth it

HOW IS SHU STILL IN THE FUCKING PICTURE!!!! any leader would've kicked out the delusional guy a long time ago. he "played childish tricks" to make her husband suspisious, super insubordinate. confessed to you and couldn't take no for an answer. blatantly expressed hatred for humans rivaling the demon fiend. freaking prepares another body for you without informing you of that plan which u turn down (after he explains u won't need human ties and ur family doesn't matter) super rude and not knowing his place. is super touchy with u after rejecting him but takes any chance to swoop u away in his arms (in front of her husband i might add) whenever u're sick/fall. doesn't inform you of the husband's identity to inflict the most pain on u when u find out so u can leave ur husband ("u'll only believe me if u see it urself") and now uses a forbidden art to turn u demonic after ur express wishes to NOT TO DO THAT while in a very vulnerable state in front of this untrusworthy BOOK. in the name of him being an essential suordinate ( what has he contributed to ur city after his confession???? trying to find a cure for u?? giving him access to do what he wants to ur body??? where is this trust coming from?) he is not ur childhood friend anymore . Also if the prison is really his fate then i do not see that as a happy ending unless he is forced to watch her life with her hubby and child LIVE while in prison to torment him.

The Kopiko ads are so cringe and in need of toning down cz it's not even smooth, "it's not coffee but take this, hmmm it's delicious" while nodding and in surprise. Come on, it was done like every episode. they could be smoother cz it's ruining the quality of many shows

ok i'm gonna vent a bit cz i do not like what they've done with the FL. Her personality is fine and as a cat lord she is fit for the role but as a leader of the whole demon city, not even close. she is the type of leader who likes to be on the front lines (capturing the demons who ran off ONLY) then delegates everything to others cz she trusts her subordinates so much (albiet blindly) with no questions on what happens next or anything. she doesn't know her cousin's dead (cz of a murderous delusional subordinate) knowing he was exiled unofficially so technically he could be scheming something else ( which he was but only stopped cz he was killed) and the rat lord who happens to be resurricted by the same murderous subordinate who released a dream demon after she handed him over to said subordinate AFTER he expressed murderous thoughts towards humans and you supposedly lost a bit of trust. Apparently, he's been killing demons for your elixir (she still doesn't know of these missing demons) and somehow NOW WHEN HE SAYS THERE IS A WAY TO BE A FULL DEMON after YEARS of searching, she says yes without asking for elaboration from him (the guy who u lost trust for and is obsessed with u and said humans have no value so yes this method is gonna be peachy) and is shocked to find out from the serpent lord ( who was confused to u not knowing (rightly so, what kind of idiot agrees to something not knowing what it is)) that u will get rid of ur body to inhabit a demon one and u confront the guy crying and in chock at his hate for humans which u knew but was looking the other way (why is she badass lord with others even her husband but is a child with this guy ???). Don't get me started with her not even visiting the dungeons once to check up on what the 2nd lead has been doing when demons keep fleeing (rat lord, black serpent, the red stone floating around shu???) question something woman!! HAVE SOME DISTRUST OR FIND OUT SOMETHING ON UR OWN, what leader just follows plans given by advisors without input. Even her husband is planning ahead for his band of brothers and they don't know about it but it still works! I'm sorry she's a good individual, just not a head of an entire community

i don't mind her personality and he doesn't mind her going there cz he know she won't cheat BUT the 2nd ML suggesting that she does more than drinking and partying and her coming home with wet hair and never saying more about what she is doing is bound to cause problems and trust issues as seen when he follows her around secretly (albeit his suspicion of her being a demon being a main drive) she never explains much so that's my main issue

he allows her to do that knowing she won't cheat (it's still historical era and not an open marriage) but for her to rub salt on his wounds and say i was at ruyi pavilion knowing it's a brothel (what can u do other than sleep with someone else especially if u come back with wet hair) and not even have the decency to lie or give an explanation (which she can't cz there are rules) then losing trust is to be expected and suspecting her of being a demon is understandable.

i don't mind a flirty FL but is she completely indifferent to others' opinions so much that she sees no issue leaving the house at night and returning like nothing is wrong, saying she was at a BROTHEL? Does the ML have no self respect when he just kissed her with no comment on why she went there? There's a difference between trust and fooling urself. even if she gets upset later (preview of ep 28) for him getting suspicious of what is behind her door (he doesnt trust me?), she's 100% at fault cz he respected her enough before. This is why i hate their identites not being found yet, there's a completely different side of them that the other doesnt know causing misunderstandings from actions completely innocent but NONE IS EVEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN OR SAY ANYTHING BUT LOOKING THE OTHER WAY. That is toxic as hell and justifiable for a divorce

i don't think so tho cz those moments she was asking for divorce, he was saying " we already fixed the misunderstanding between the palace and demon city so let's make up" so i think suspicion and identity came first especially him figuring it out first cz he follows her around and find out when she transformed (totally set up by the 2ML ) partly the reason why she was upset cz he secretly followed her and didnt trust her

they don't show us what he said/did. I'm speculating it cz she said "there's no going back" and in another preview when he held his sword against her (the identity reveal moment", she told him not to do "something" or it'll be over (i think he broke the barrier to the demon city) so he did something impulse (to be expected with how much hate he had and wanting to eliminate the demon city that led to her wanting divorce

i don't want her to lose her powers, even her dream was to be a full demon. she's the baddass type that fits her role. I hope he's the one who lives longer than a human after all he's a celestial palace disciple. maybe the final fight will unlock more potential for him and more longevity

wow the fact that shu's master comments on how delusional shu is will never not be funny. Also our lead needs to tone down his hatred for demons a bit cz he's gonna sink a hole for himself when everything is out which explains why the FL wanted a divorce in the preview, he definetly said the wrong stuff and wrong reaction the identity reveal happened, hope it doesnt take long for his fogiveness arc, i need scenes of them finally working together without all the secrecy and feining naivety

glad to hear that but do they address the aging problem? he might be a cultivator but his master died at a normal age so i'm guessing they're still mortals so either she'll live longer or she'll stay half human and die together which would be sad a bit cz her reign would be short and who knows how long they'll live together

unless he forgot about her when his memories return which would mean angst till his ji an memories return

i get how no one is telling the other about their identity because of the rules but the fact that they have so much cases together and zero suspicion by now is just infuriating. Also, the ML's disciple brother knew the array was tampered with and decided just to help secretly rather than i don't know let someone know???? or slightly inform the ML that there is a spy/something wrong happening so be careful? just going back to the palace to increase his training . this is why that place is not known anymore and harbors a villain, indifference is a major character flaw they all have so thank god the FL helped the ML see that

he was an ancient military book aiding the demon orphan behind the fire 18 years ago and causing havoc then when they sealed the demon orphan (the big dude who's now floating around him), something else happened in the battle that caused him to lose his cultivation and memories reverting him into a child and from then he grew up with the FL as a harmless friend before the red stone was found again and triggered his memories and he's back at his role. I think the previous cat lord was the cause of his decline since no one else knew of his existence as an accomplice yet someone must've attacked him to become weak

although i don't like the manipulation of the villains or forcing the FL to kill but i like the change illicited in her making her sharper cz her previous naive/hands off approach would not work for long in this world as a lover of the most hated person in all 3 worlds or it would honestly be lonely for him fighting alone

they're so adorable!! the only downside is the shameless delusional ex but i guess they need the drama from somewhere.
