this is the first time I dont think I can finish a well done drama. acting, production and etc are amazing … for the simple fact that XL is going to be miserable for most of this is just too hard. I’m not even someone that is on “ship trains” or w/e but just damn….they casted him maybe too well?? there’s just something that is really painful about someone you have a deep connection with hiding their efforts and feelings from you … resulting in you choosing another (still great) man. I don’t know how to explain it - I guess maybe in my experience as a woman … even if it was for the better… I would feel so wronged knowing that persons love for me was kept a secret, idk. then nothing feels like it was really “my choice” because of being kept in the dark. this is the most bizarre first for me but like no matter how awesome the drama is…I am just overly pulled into the XL/XY dynamic, everything else seems like the side story…even though that is not the case. XL character just overshadows everything else to me I guess. I just wish he had at least someone to go through things with…even tho I know he chose this path ..but still… idk guys!
so far it’s not bad but nothing special. I think it’s hard to watch this series after seeing so many good shows this year, the overa acting and execution of the plot and writing in general just seems like it’s missing something, still gonna watch tho but prob pick back up after ep 12 since that seems more exciting
in one of the trailers, XY confronts what looks like Jings fiancé? that she is pregnant and then she "ends their fate" right then and there...is this true? spoilers welcome! :)
have not read the novel but feel like yang zi character and deng wei character were kind of foreshadowed like when yang zi was a girl her favorite accessory was the fox tail and what have deng wei character hope when he was locked up and almost dying was the red flower, both are symbolic of each other - just a thought
But I still can't picture how can she kill Shi Ying if she already loves him deeply
In the novel she was so angry but Shi Yang purposely did not defend her attack and planned to let their fate end that way so she could let go of her rage and their “doomed destiny” she was in shock that the didn’t block the blow she dealt and full or regret. He also felt immense guilt for killing her loved one
The way the completely destroyed Naksu character - the only reason I started the show was because of the badass Naksu in ep 1. I was really waiting for her come back and kick ass but now with more empathy since she learned so much season 1. Lol I still feel robbed that the writers went “soft, childish and content with only divine powers and no mage skills” still loved the show but the writers really messed up the FL in my opinion
