Just finished this drama and this is how I feel about it and ENDING 39 40:

FL Unclear Feelings between the Leads

EP 39 Ending::: I actually hate EP 39 ending, it was too ambiguous because it just seems that the FL is confused about her own feelings due to how she grieved when SML died... It just seems to me that she wants to have two men at the same time..
|-
I gave her the benefit of doubt in the middle of the series for not knowing that SML loves her while keeping his token of love with her, which he have indirectly told her that the token is for his future wife to be..
|-
She proved me wrong when she returned the token upon hearing that SML is about to marry Luo ge's sister which she felt sad in her emotions by persuading SML not to do so. She told SML that she's returning the token of love to him to give to his new wife, proven that she knows the meaning of the token... But I still overlooked those ambiguous scene in the middle as i chose not to take it serious...

But EP 39 proved me wrong again when she grieved like she wants to die with SML. afterwards she then accepted his token of love again and put it around her waist while replacing ML token. Very cherishing isn't?.., which means she now agrees to be his wife even after death as she already knows the meaning of the token.
|-
So even though she sacrificed to save the ML but it made me feel like she died to accompany SML. Because her grieve over SML death and her emotional depth aligns to that. So overall, I can say that she do care for him more than a friend both in the middle of the serie and ep 39 ending which Futher proves she has feelings for him..

EP 40 ending::: This ending was perfect in my opinion as there was indeed no ambiguity, and I do love that she founded the ML in the last minutes given us a happy ending.
|-
In terms of pure romance between the lead, I can say that the first half of the story is the best and more convincing...

Obsessive and annoying SFL

I was very annoyed with the obsessive 2FL but I was very glad that ML was able to set a clear boundaries and didn't feed her wet dreams.. Even though there was some ambiguous moments I found uncomfortable, but those moments was when the ML are unconscious in her tricks haha. I just hate how close she was to ML in her arms during his unconsciousness moments...
|-
Overall the ML is very clear about what he wants and who he needs throughout the series without giving us a mix feeling like FL who seems to like SML... So I just realized that this obsessive psychos in any drama can be lest annoying if they are not getting what they wants. The way ML set clear boundaries with the 2FL anytime she was lost in her delusion, made me laughing at her instead of angry hahaha 😂

Perfect SML

I also love the SML in this show, in fact this is my first time I love SML this much. He is too good to be a demon haha. She loved the FL but also understood she is already in a relationship without stepping his boundaries...
|-
His only wish was when FL got bored with ML and chooses him willingly.. He's not forcing his feelings on her but are ready to help her in distress without even letting her know.. This is pure love. No emotional blackmailing like other SML in many dramas.. I just wished they had paired him with someone and give him his happy ending because he deserves it.

Sacrificing Beloved Ones for Righteous Cause

. Honestly I'm not a fan of this trope of sacrificing beloved ones to save the world, I hate this trope with passion, even though I surposed to understand there is no choice rather than killing beloved ones. Hence I'm not blaming anyone or anything here. I just don't like this trope no matter what reasons they came up with..
|-
Overall, this is not a Hypothetical self righteous cause which I disgust most. The reasons here for sacrifice are still justifiable though, but I just don't like this trope of saving the world at the cost of a beloved ones for any reason at all, is not my cup of tea..

ML Duty Over Romance

I don't like this type of dutiful ML who choose duty over love especially in the immortal realm where he was very cold to FL at the beginning, I just hate those moments with passion but I was later relieved when he chooses to open up to his feelings and defend her,
|-
I love the lead chemistry in the first half . But their chemistry in 2nd half wasn't engaging at all, the kisses made me feeling a 2nd hand embarrassment haha... So but I blame that on the ML who chooses duty over love.

Conclusion

Overall I do enjoyed this show and it delivered more than my expectations. I love every single character and also the 2nd couple which I'm not going to illustrate.
|-
Bin Bin is an embodiment of acting-perfection.. Nailing 3 personality is nothing short of masterful. He Futher proved my expectations of him beyond.
|-
The FL was also good, I love her especially in the first half, some people here dislike her acting but I love, I'm only dissatisfied with her unclear ambiguous feelings towards the SML... I overlooked them because it wasn't over-played by the Writer, but I can't overlook it in EP 39 ending lol..
|-
As for the Psycho 2FL, I'm happy she died at the end and get her retribution.. Even though her suicide death doesn't make sense to me.. She have been obsessed with ML throughout the series but suddenly can't accept the Evil ML version lol

Star Rating Of different ending ep 39 and 40 🌟

. For EP 40 ending, I would rate this show 8.6 ..
Reason :: Even though I don't like the sacrifice of beloved ones for righteous cause, but I partially overlook it for not being Hypocritical.. And finally because of the last minute happy ending.
|-
. For EP 39 ending, I would rate this show 7.0 .. Reason is because of the abrupt ambiguous feelings of FL towards SML, that made her her unsure of what she wants. That made me very uncomfortable and cringed..

My preferred rating 8.6 🌟 EP 40 ending, let me pretend ep 39 never existed ✅
