What are some examples? of The plot tries so hard to be deep and mysterious, but most of the time it just ends…
I think the time loop isn’t really meant to be a “mystery twist” with heavy foreshadowing. It’s more something that recontextualizes everything after you know it. The focus isn’t on figuring it out, but on understanding the tragedy behind her actions.
Also, I don’t think it’s as simple as “she never tried anything else.” Based on what we’ve seen (and the leaks), it feels like she’s gone back hundreds of times and still couldn’t change the outcome, JL always ends up sacrificing himself no matter what she does.
If that’s the case, then it makes sense why she stops telling people or seeking help. After failing over and over, it becomes less about trying new methods and more about enduring it alone and hoping something eventually changes.
And the toll is there, just not explicitly stated:
she keeps going back despite the damage to her body she sacrifices parts of herself she even reaches a point where she begs to be killed
That already shows how broken she is from the loop.
Plus, the series hasn’t revealed everything yet, so there might still be rules or reasons behind the loop that explain why she couldn’t just “tell someone and fix it.”
So yeah, I agree the execution could’ve been better, but I don’t think her actions are unrealistic, it just feels incomplete right now because we don’t have the full picture yet.
I've read some leaks, don't know if they'll really follow through it. Spoilers below
Basically, no matter what they do, JY is always going to possess LWY. The only thing they can do is to prevent her "birth". So basically, JL is left alone and died. Then either it's a next life or in an alternate universe where they met again.

They're going to meet again in another life/universe. LWY became a human but JL retained his memories. And there they got a HE. But I don't trust the director, what if he'll show it something like a "what if" or like "just a dream"
So this page now officially has the highest comment numbers on MDL?....just noticed it surpassed TTEOTM
It's fun to talk about theories and the what ifs. Or we're just like that because we know the director is allergic to HE and loves angst. We're venting out here 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If I’m being honest about Veil of Shadows, it really feels like a show that thinks it’s way smarter than it…
Sure, the plot and dialogue could definitely be improved. I just think this story might not be your cup of tea. I’ve seen some of the leaks, so I have an idea of where it’s going, and honestly, the romance is really strong. It feels very much like a romantasy to me. If it’s not something you enjoy, that’s totally fine, you don’t have to like it.
She goes back in time possibly hundred of times to try save him as she doesn’t want him to sacrifice himself
I thought it was around 26 times. If it was around a hundred times then, she witnessed JL die a hundred times 😭😭😭😭 I'd probably go mad and scarlet witch Jiu Ying to non existence.
