Ashleigh

Thanks! I was confused whether he had really met her in the end or was just hallucinating.
Why do they keep making confusing endings like this... they make us watch 40 episodes but can't bother to make an understandable ending 🙃

What do you mean ? 🤔

I'm really confused about the Demon King's motive. First, he wanted to kill the Phoenix, but then he tried to take her away with him because he was apparently waiting for her to come back to bring her to Huarong and get her memory back. He calls her 'sister' but then it looks like he's in love with her. Really confusing.

There is basically no transition from him finding her annoying, to falling 'deeply' in love with her 🙃

The FL and ML have a crush on each other but it doesn't seem too deep for the moment. She wants to try and seduce him but she's not sure he likes her. He wants to stay focused on his mission and isn't really interested in the love aspect, but his actions say he cares a lot for her.
The FL is smart, but the shy type. But she has a strong character that appears from time to time. Hopefully, she'll let it take over as she gets stronger.
Yeah, one really dumb bully who's obsessed with putting everything bad that happens on the FL's fault, even when it's clearly not. And her sister used to be nice but became evil as she got jealous of the FL getting ML's attention.
CGI are pretty good.

I personally really liked TTEOTM's ending. It made sense to me ^^

I haven't seen her before it's my first impression. I think it's in her character's nature to be a little erased and shy as she's been told her whole life she's a jink, she's trying to take the smallest place possible to not be noticed. But I agree she could have been a bit more expressive and surprised when she found out she was the Phoenix.

I'm a little disappointed by the 'grand' reveal of the Phoenix, I thought they would have made it way more spectacular than that. We didn't even get to see people's reactions properly. It happened way too fast: she showed her wings, and then they disappeared a second later.
It was supposed to be one of the most important scenes of the drama, and for me, they messed it up.

I think the love story was way too rushed, they suddenly fell in love in like 5 episodes, for we don't even know what reasons... I don't really feel the chemistry between the 2 and the story is pretty cliché so far (ep 11) and I'm getting bored.

Question: In the 1st episode, when Tantai Jin was strangeling YXW, some light came out of her forehead and pushed him away. He was surprised and asked her what it was. Does anyone know? It feels like an important detail 🤔

Oh Tantai Jin was way worst in the book, a real tyrant: he raises a demonic army by sacrificing common people, killing his men if they failed their missions. He is surrounded by demonic sorcerers and tortures prisoners by keeping them in special cages. One time YXW escaped and he started killing random people to force her to show up.
As you can see it's a very different story, so I get why people who haven't seen this side of him don't really understand why Ye Xiwu kept jumping to conclusions or attacking him, even when he didn't do anything. I'm sure you can see her in a different light now ...

I think she loved some sides of him that only she saw. And also pitied him because she knew his past and traumas, she knew most of it wasn't really under his control, but she also hated his actions. A mix of love and hate. For most of it she had to keep alive the person she hated the most, constantly putting herself in danger in the process, she eventually naturally developed some attachment to that person. Honestly, I'm still confused about how she could really fall in love with him in the book.

So yeah in comparison I loved the drama's version way more, YXW did the best she could given the circumstances ^^

True, there is a reason why they wanted a Taoist AND a Spirit to take the tests...

I just love the way the lead characters say each other's names ^^ Especially TY, he's always so dramatic calling Yanhui 😄

Omg "being bad with words" ?? He didn't even say anything 😩 I though I would die of frustration when instead of giving a simple explanation he kept repeating her name without saying anything important 😂

I loved him at first, he was super funny, especially his expressions. Now not so much, he's a real pain in the a**. They kinda ruined his character for me :/

I just finished ep 22 and it seems to me that BXS made some kind of transfer from his mom who abandoned him to Yanhui who was able to find him in the forest. Looks like he put his gratefulness on the account of love but it doesn't really sound like it. It makes a lot more sense why he suddenly started to act like that after that incident though

Exactly!

Yeah just because she saved him and immedialtely after he started to get jealous when he came back. But before that he wasn't even a little bit interested in her. Like you don't just develop strong feelings overnight 🙃

She was a little kid walking in the streets begging for food and eating trash on the floor to avoid starving to death... I'm pretty sure that would give anyone trust issues 🙃 And not knowing why you were abandoned doesn't hurt any less.
If anyone, Tianyao is the one who would have the most trouble trusting a Taoist after what happened to him.
The truth is that they all have reasons to be mistrustful, but the difference is just that Yanhui and Tianyao trust each other due to the journey they lived together.

Honestly, the questions for the first trial were really lame, they could have easily succeeded with a little luck and guessing, but it wouldn't have proven them to be a couple 🙃 I can't believe BXS spent a decade of his life on that...
Also, BXS said "Only those who have never been abandoned have trust" but did he forget that Yanhui is an orphan that was abandoned by her parents? Tianyao was left for dead by his fiancée... He just doesn't trust them, and it's probably a good thing as we know he's not their priority either.

I'm really confused about how, out of nowhere, he just decided he had feelings for Yanhui, it was really sudden after he tried so hard to get them together.

Right! I forgot where we were 😅🤭 I feel so passionately about this drama ^^ What helped me cope with the withdrawals was watching 'Love is sweet' with the same lead actors, it felt like another arc and kinda gave me closure. The behind the scenes of TTEOTM are great too. Nice talking to you 😊
