We can agree to disagree but don't preach to me. As you said you haven't read the novel and I value the writer's insight much more than yours!

Since the drama follows fairly closely to the book then why not follow the same HE ending as in the book. That's what readers would want and find it bewildering that the drama team did a U-turn and decided not to give closure. If the drama had been an entirely different story, but just using similar names, then obviously one would not have much expectation as to the ending. You could say why not read the ending in the book but I find machine translation confusing to read and I was looking forward to the drama's depiction of the ending as in the book. So disappointing!

Yes, the leads' struggles were too long and it's a depressing message from the drama that if you are born under bad circumstances followed by hardships in your youth you just cannot achieve your heart's desire no matter how hard you try. We are often encouraged that if we work hard with integrity we can overcome our poor beginnings and have a good life. The drama team forgot or did not care to include this inspirational message.

I'm on ep.32 but just reading the comments I already know that it's going to be an unhappy ending. I don't get the director and screenwriters, they put us through the wringer throughout the whole drama and then they gleefully put on a bad ending for us. They are sadistic! I've gone too far in the drama to give up now but I won't be enjoying the last 8 episodes. What a pity! Instead of repeating so many unnecessary flashbacks they could have filmed a happy ending. Does anyone know if there's any outcry/outrage from the viewers in China that would maybe get Youku to do a special episode to makeup for the poor ending?

Thank-you. I have to try not to watch drama when feeling very sleepy, looks like I missed a lot of details.

Thank-you. That's the problem when watching drama way past my bedtime, I missed a lot of details.

in ep31as Cang Jiumin, Tantai Jin recognizes the people in the sects that he killed when he was the devil god. How is this possible? In the previous episodes he did not have a clue that he was the devil god so when did he have this recollection, anybody knows?

Yes, I never noticed before that if I hover over the given rating at the top that I can give my overall rating. Now I only need to rate the episodes that are outstanding instead of all of them which would take a lot of effort. Thanks.

What's this? You mean there's a way to rate the overall drama without rating each episode? How do you do this?

You are right. I went to the Episode Guide at the very top and gave 10/10 rating for several episodes and will do more later. Thank-you as I think a lot of people also don't know the process.

There are over 40,000 comments but only over 2,000 users giving ratings for this drama. Who gets to do the rating and how is it done? I would like to give a rating for this drama but I don't see the process to do it. Can someone please explain how to rate this drama? I just finished watching ep.28 and it is so good. Tantai Jin just went psycho in his grief.

THANKYOU! Myasiantv works for me.

Oh so you are having trouble too with kisskh, so am I. It's been 3 days already trying to watch ep27 but it keeps stalling/buffering. I tried kissasian but my malware program won't allow it so the only solution seems to be to wait for youtube which has only reached ep21 today. Anybody has any suggestion other than paying?

That line "have you ever liked me, even just a little bit?" is very poignant but in the novel it is Tantaijin who said it and would have been much more meaningful and heartbreaking because he lacks love in his whole life. The drama should not have switched it to Susu.

I can see before that I just touched the surface of the story thinking that Susu failed her mission by only stabbing TTJ with 6 soul killing nails instead of 9 and she then compensated by fashioning a divine bone marrow to accomplish the job. I guess the divine bone marrow part threw me off and I still don't see its actual purpose if it's not for extracting TTJ's evil bones. So from your very insightful explanation it looks like in the end love conquers all and supercedes the necessity of removing the evil bones since TTJ would do anything to please Susu ie. destroying the world is a no-no. LOL. Now I get it and the significance of what she found in the tomb. Thank you so much for detailing this deeper layer which adds much more enjoyment to the whole story. And now to your link for more reading.

Wow, I totally misunderstood reading the machine translated version. You mean in the end TTJ had a kernel of goodness left in wanting to preserve the world, I thought he had completely gone psycho in that explosive inferno at the end of the xianxia. Susu visiting her tomb left me puzzled, what was the truth that she found? It's also a revelation that Susu and her daughter were in the demon world as I thought they were in the mortal one. Thank-you for clearing up some of my confusion.

Don't worry, @Lessa got it very wrong and you can read my reply to her. I hope the drama stays true to the novel as it is very good and I've read it a few times.

I also enjoyed reading the book and I hope you can explain what happened towards the end in the xianxia realm when it seems like Tantaijin did manage to destroy the world and yet they were all reborn including their little girl. I find this confusing as I thought that the monstrosity about the destruction of the world is that nobody would exist anymore but if rebirth is still possible then what's the big deal about killing TTJ?

Oh my! You got it so wrong! You only read the first chapter and used it to summarize the whole novel thus leading people astray. Good thing I read the book because if I had only read your synopsis I would not be interested in watching the drama at all and I would have missed an excellent story.

Does the drama follow the novel and is the novel good?
