Will do my 3rd rewatch soon . This one was so good!

He wanted to protect the ML and FL- that is why .

Exactly - he absorbed the lamp’s energy hence his transition was very fast

It was an opinion but you took it personally. Not much can be done about that . Again you go with shots at me- I hope you are satisfied . Anyway I have better things to do rather than respond to your tiresome tirade

You can stop pushing your idea too if someone disagrees . Lol . You did the same thing preached but can’t follow. My opinion still stands that you misinterpreted not going to change

Emasculated is a strong word and o disagree . No one is getting triggered here. You can admit that you don’t like people disagreeing with you . As someone who liked how the ML was written I disagree with that description . Disagreeing is not a crime like the way you make it out to be and you don’t drive your point home by attacking the commenter . You may not ask for my opinion but on a public forum people will comment .

No one is obstructing you .and likewise you can respect other people’s opinions too - and not make assumptions about their preferences. You can go back and look at your comments . Because you did make assumptions first - that was not on me. Don’t take potshots at commenters but freely comment on the drama. But be aware that there are people with different opinions and they will respond. I am done herre. See ya !

I have put the drama on hold since it’s dragging. Will finish it after final episodes come out

Her being upset in episode 20 still is an unwanted childlike tantrum.

Well, you seem to be making quite a few conclusions about ‘e. Like I said very clearly his role was not emasculated . How does it come across as ‘I like emasculated MLs’. Your logic is very flawed here. I can say to you that you may have some interpretation issues .
And I stand by my assessment of Duan Xu. Not emasculated or weak

Have to disagree with you as someone who actually loved his character and enjoyed this drama. According to me you have completely misunderstood and misinterpreted his character. There was a lot of depth to his character. Let’s agree to disagree.

Exactly my point . I think people have misunderstood his character. He actually had a lot of courage and confidence . And he really wanted to hold on to her

Fingers crossed

I think Duan Xu was powerful enough but there were consequences to the deal he made- as there should. And he did fade away little by little. He was not emasculated at all. It is wrong to say that . Lol he was more manly than some of the MLs I have seen lately. I will not mention those dramas. To me this story was written as it should be. We should also remember we are not talking about an ordinary FL like we had in Love like the Galaxy. According to me this is a non comparison . Comparing apples to oranges . The FL in this dramas is cold, heartless, no feelings. That is not human. And Duan Xu was a boy

Duan. I was not an emasculated sad lover boy. That is my opinion because the power dynamic in this drama was completely different from a regular relationship. You don’t equate a romance with an other worldly being with a romance between two humans . Love like the galaxy - which you mention in comparison is a relationship between two human beings. This is a fantasy between a 400 yr old powerful spirit queen and a young human general. This can be nothing other than a tragic love comity because of that imbalance .

I am hoping for a modern drama from him next

I am rewatching episode 12 : and I am wondering how could she have gotten entangled with such a toxic guy ! It’s so scary just thinking how it would have turned out if she had ended up with the SML. She was too soft on him.

I am not interested in Zhang Ling He. But if you follow the chat thread- I did say that I still like Chen Feiyu in blond hair when compared to ML. In Dazzling. And when white hair on this ML was mentioned - I said Blossom. So I am well aware of all the dramas they are talking about here

I think he is very picky. That is what it comes down to . He works differently from other actors. I definitely will watch every single drama of his whenever it comes out . He is one of the best young actors around. So much depth

Dropped . Cannot take this torture anymore. I have dropped every single drama of Yang Zi’s . I thought this may break the jinx. But no! Sigh
