Yes correct, it is also about Chinese religions either Confucianism, Taoism or Buddhism. As such it comes with a set of beliefs. Xians is about immortals, and the stories will be around deities Naturally there will be similarities.

This story has so many plot twist, we might not be surprised all our theories cld stick or not. But I honestly think he knows something is amiss but she may not or both are working together, anything is possible.

Everyone who is married have a lot of feuds going on and will require their own drama or mini series LOL! but yes if ML and FL actually communicated, there won't be any drama.

Of course the real snake is hiding among the good guy, they always do. I think even BJS knows and has been stalling waiting for HRY to reemerge, settle the feud while luring the real culprit. This is why he has not ascended, waiting for centuries for things and fate to fall into place. I mean he literally asked LQY to punish Ling Er coz he knew she was helping her. If he did everything on his own, he would be defying the heavenly lords and the Emperyan, who probably is all knowing as well. Perhaps the whole game set plan is to lure the real culprit.

The misunderstanding is to separate HRY and BJS, who has not ascended to become Emperyan. My guess is coz these two Ying & Yang are powerful, if they have a child, the two ends meet in the form of the child making it more powerful. So whoever doesn't want all three to become powerful is probably behind the feud, Someone said perhaps the child is alive, cld possibly be sealed so that he or she will not be discovered. This is why BJS waited and played along with HRY to go back to the mortal realm and settle the feud while luring the real culprit behind it all out.

The elder lords said something about HRY always meddling in earthly business. She disrupted the natural order of life, which we saw in the latest episode, I mean she is compassionate and always helping people, perhaps even defying fate.
When BJS went to ask about having a kid, he was advised against it, which makes sense coz if they had a kid, it would change their course of tribulations. They need to overcome their trials and tribulations given their Ying & Yang characteristic, a child would again disrupt the order of life and it also defies their fate. I wonder if the kid we saw had anything to do their tribulations?
They are back in the mortal real coz their feud began there and this is why people in any relationship communication is the most important element. BJS I am guessing never really explained to her about the kid and their tribulations and she has been misunderstanding him for centuries. The fact he said he was accommodating to her plan means they are meant to be back in the mortal realm to settle the score or feud.

So basically HRY started her own Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire.
Eventually HR and BJS will form their own alliance, the real culprit will be someone from the so called good side, it is always the case.

yup

We do see her with blood shot eyes and mouth carrying a kid. But dude did something bad but perhaps he too was lead to believe what he was doing is right, after all the feud is driven by their misunderstanding. And JS has not ascended to being Emperor for a reason due to unresolved feud.

Their whole feud is about the heart, which is why she keeps stabbing it. I think what happened with HL is a clue, she wanted JS to see what is feels and understand for someone who loves another. She can only gain when he loses.

Could possibly be, which is why she keep stabbing his heart, as she feels he doesn't deserve it. Their feud is about the child coz in the trailer you can hear the child calling mom. Then he says she hates him so much. not only to kill him but to take his heart--- this is coz she gave him her heart and now she wants it back. I mean that she can only gain when he loses.

Based on the latest preview, she is indeed HY and her FEUD with JS must be so hurtful perhaps the loss of the child (based on the trailer). I remember JS saying something about three lifetimes, so the feud must have begun in the 1st, the second she cld only manage to weaken him and now the third time is a charm, she has weakened him so much and regained her powers. They are like Ying & Yang. But yeah she could not have done all of this without help , I mean she was the one who sent Ling Er to the cold place. Everything is planned even their 1st encounter. Don't forget Ling Er was the one who has been cultivating JS's sword to make it powerful enough so HY can kill JS.
The Li Mo-Hong Lian encounter was also deliberate coz HL learnt to love, which is what she wants JS to realise. So it got me thinking that JS must have messed or hurt her so much that she has been hell bent on revenge and she wants him to learn a lesson about love. Perhaps he only wants to be loved and doesn't know how to or has ever loved someone.
But I don't think she anticipated ZS to come up to heaven for her.

This drama shows the often forgotten victims of war--the soldiers' family. We don't really pay much attention to what happens to the wives, the children and the family of the soldiers. They are shrouded by anxiety, loneliness, uncertainty, restlessness and fear . The family is constantly waiting and hoping for the soldier to return safely and if they die, no one really talks about what happens to the family during and after. Who is going to care for the family, how will they cope with their grief and what the future is like? On the other hand, the soldiers themselves if they survive end up with PTSD and depression. In this series we saw how Natsumi was lonely and sad. With Takimasa, after his dad died, his mom also died , leaving him orphaned and at the mercy of cruel relatives.

Liu Yan is an example of a psychopathic megalomanic who doesn't mind killing innocent people, I mean he killed his own kid brother just so that he can have and retain power.
Lady Yu is a narcissistic fool who thinks too highly of herself.
These two combined are the perfect example why people are willing to wage war at any cost just to satisfy their own agenda.
Land will always be the most valuable asset humans have been and will continue to fight for even if it means committing genocide.
Too bad we humans have never learn our lessons.
Anyway this drama ended not in a good way in terms of writing. I agree with most, it was rushed and kind of ruined the essence of the whole drama, But I suppose we should be happy the leads got their happy ending. Till the next drama, ciao muchachas.

Seriously man, why do they always do this?!! They just can't help themselves, they had to kill the most lovable character in the show. I mean we all suspected that it might happen but still was hoping. He didn't deserve it. The makers had to make it so dramatic ala Gladiator with WL's death that it pissed me off and I went all Palpatine screaming 'Execute Order 66/ Wipe them out, all of them!' Argh! so not cool!

LOL that's funny

So true , sometimes it is a bit over the top coz coz they are trying to hard. FL's character is tactical, she is not trying to show she is this or that, she is however tactical. i mean let's face it we live in a man's world but we don't have to be anti this or that. She knows she is women, her place in society, and in the family but she knows her worth and it doesn't have be an the expense of putting others down.

It it also quite realistic in the sense between sisters or cousin sisters in a family, each will have their own priorities. Just coz we share blood doesn't mean we want the same things. Even among siblings, there will be one or two who will look out for the well-being of all while there will be the one that will be selfish and look out for his or herself and her own family.
The point on FL not being selfish is true, her cousin chose her path without blinking but she forgot if FL did not help her runaway with her BF or claim Boya, she as well her now husband would have the status that they have now. Her cousin got upset coz of the deer hunt, which triggered this reaction.
But that's the thing when you do things selfishly for others you think others will do the same for you. But this kind of expectations are often met with disappointment, which is why FL should start being selfish for her own sake.

You guys just over complicate things. I understand chinese names. Like I said I am just using initials, what does it matter? She is not a real person anyway, it is easier to use initials when I am typing. As long as ppl understand.
Qiao is family name
Fan or Man is given name
I understand Jr Sr etc.
even if you use Qiao Xiao is means Qiao Jr and Qiao Da -Qiao Sr , it is till a given designation
omg u know what this is just not worth it.

Her surname or family name is Qioa and her given name xiao . For us here we follow the order of family name and given name. But usually we call only using the given name eg my friend;'s name Khoo Gek San, so i call her Gek San, but her initials are KGS.. Only when addressing formally we use Ms Qiao or Ms Khoo. Anyway I will use what is default for me.
