Maybe our hearts will find a way, Only heaven knows
As i am writing this, i just finished watching the series.
This has been genuinely the most well written stories I've watched recently. I finished around 5-6 dramas within a month with just days apart from each other. I usually just move on as fast and watch another drama. But this drama has me on a chokehold. This is what friendship, love and yearning is. That slowly and gradually grows on you. You don't know when it happened but you just woke up one day and you want to protect that one person with all your might.
If you don't consider Xuanye's background where he is supposedly a prince; both Xuanye and Banxia are just normal folks. Sure Banxia's family is a bit rich but they had little to no power nor influence. Their love story grew so so well because they gradually fell for each other. No other external factors. They were destined to meet, fate brought them together.
The story arcs were not as flawless but I love how it didn't just brush off the stories of each characters that made that arc work. Not too fast, not too slow. The progress of the story is just perfect. No more, no less. The reactions of each and every character to every plot device is not too cliche, it was as realistic as they can make it to be. Given that this was a supernatural/demon related story.
I am still in pain with how the series ended but I get it. The entire storyline kept on pointing on that direction, with multiple callbacks all throughout the series. The whole point was and is always will be how time will flow and that they are destined to be in different paths now that the causality sword was used. Their ties were severed. And Banxia knew that, that's why she asked him to spend that final day together with her, their friends and Chixue. At the end he was even able to tell his "human father" what happened.
Overall, I would say it was technically a Happy Ending for everyone. They all got to live peaceful lives. Its just that we never got to see if Xuanye and Banxia would ever be together. Its an open ending i guess since every 12 years the portal does open and now that the "flowers" are restored, thanks to the moon bugs.
Hence my heading:
