Best ending in cdrama.

lol

🤣🤣🤣

Haha, I get you.
It would only be OE because I want to see the continuation of Nan Heng and Xiao Yu and their modern day life.
SE- not possible b/c inside the script they already got their HE and even if Xiao Yu and Nan Heng are fictional as well it’s still a HE b/c they reunited in another parallel universe.
But I do understand where you are coming from it falls under the “I think therefore I am logic” and the butterfly Dream our perception, reality, and the nature of the self, prompting reflection on the fluid and interconnected nature of existence. This drama is too deep for normal viewers who just want entertainment.

Delivered a perfect ending in and outside the play.

Definitely a HE. No OE.

Agree. I love the production, OST, editing and directing so far. As far as scripting goes it's messy but it's a script within a script. And all actors are portraying their characters very well based on that given time and situation of the script. Yimeng awakening as a paper man is slowly unfolding and is a journey. Like the director said "Books and Dreams" the first thing is to tear off the label and let go of prejudice. As the line in the play says, "Breaking the rules, ruining the fate". Secondly, through the changes of Song Xiaoyu and Nanheng, we also want to appeal to each of us in reality to redefine our self-worth, abandon the unnecessary labels imposition on ourselves by the outside world, rely on personal struggle, and "change our fate against the sky". This is the main point of the whole story but we are merely focusing on her action during one arc of the script. But I digress, NH and Yimeng story will be a tragic and complete one given all the short clips. And Nan Feng and Xiao Yu will unite to give us a HE.

She is in the state of love/hate and it was a subconscious reaction. In a state of high emotion one can be led to do something to harm the person you love when in your heart it’s not what you intended.

Yimeng is a salted fish character that is made to grow with the script. So I hope that everyone will stay open-minded. B/c not all female characters are going to come off strong/clear headed like what others need her to be at every single turn. Let’s be real human beings make mistakes and can be irrational in certain situations. She is an imperfect character inside an imperfect script.

It’s coming but we deserve more from Nan Heng and Yimeng

Yes, Yimeng by all means is not a perfect character created by the script. Your frustration comes from the script writing of the character. But this script is touching on the very idea that we judge a character solely on the surface and making every cliche and trope come out in cdrama world. So you will get the cute, bold female character, the scared, timid character, the beautiful arrogant heroine etc…. It’s a growth process.

So sad! Like we as an audience think we know the character more than the artist does who portrayed it for 120 days!!!! I don’t get why people are making her character out to be the villain now. She is literally trying to survive but is also conflicted! Excuse me in reality any contemporary individual going into an ancient script would not be as clear headed or the sweetest bumpkin. And I’m sorry but if the guy you loved lied to you when you were given opportunities to explain to you, you would be pissed too. Both the male and female lead characters have flaws. All of a sudden the dream you wanted to continue ended and the female character is not cute or insightful anymore. Yimeng changed based on the situation her character is constantly growing along with the script. Also why are people comparing leads from different dramas? Like different script, different character.

lol, that is a big if. But Current state of Nan Rui is no where near showing psychopath and guilt of killing his mother. I have suspicion it’s Uncle GAO

Yes! Like the artist says Yimeng awakening from the script is a growth process.

For real! And those who don’t see the deeper meaning to this drama are fools. Like it’s a story within a story. And the FL is trying to rewrite the FL of the scripts story. She even stated on day 1 how horrible the script is and already feeling pity on the FL because it focuses more on the ML making us viewers only see that side of the story. If you don’t like the character it’s because of the script Xiao Yu received. Yimeng and Nan Heng are all part of the script and whether the details within the script are exciting or not depends on the writer. It’s messy fun and exactly what a writer goes through when writing a script from their perspective.

lol, he is the worst emperor. Some fathers are harsh b/c they are being protective. But he is just cold and heartless b/c of the late empress. Like this script is touching on every trope and issue audiences have as a viewer and I love it. It makes it messy and funny. At times frustrating for characters like the emperor.

Yes! I think a lot of people forgot about this portion of the story as well. Xiao Yu is a salted fish character after all and her indulging, having fun in the ancient world as Yimeng is her way of enjoying her time there (also very entertaining). Her being indifferent or thinking that the script world is nothing but paper men it’s not important to make connections. But she is still Xiao Yu inside Yimeng b/c at the Lantern festival she even stated what she wishes most “i want to not having to work all year round. no presentations, no mental control, no encounters w overconfident mediocre men” haha and Xiao Yu is so unfiltered hint she will speak her mind as Yimeng. 🤣😅

I love every moment of it. The humor is witty and they don’t waste time poking at c-drama land

Me too!

I love the script it’s right up my alley of humor. The OST, transitions between the scenes, the perfectly casted artists for the respective roles, the deeper meaning behind this type of script (although not the most perfectly written drama out there). But yes, in the OG script he is arrogant and ruthless. In episode one, he came off as the same b/c he used his uncles suggestion to get close to the FL for one purpose only: make an alliance w/ Song Family to get the manual of weapon forging. But little did she know the script kept changing and the iconic scenes needed to happen. And then there were script rules: male cannot kill FL. My suspicion has that the other rule is if she dies the scene repeats itself. I also, have a hunch that Nan Feng transmigrated into the novel thus creating LiShiliu to change his character arc as well.
