Happy Ending (He Simu Becomes Mortal)

No one dies; in fact, it's a drama that lets you experience a warm embrace (and a happy ending).

Finished it a month ago, but it's already time for a rewatch because it's truly wonderful!

The drama is very beautiful and faithful to the novel. Lately, I've been watching more and more CDramas and less and less Kdramas (and initially, I only watched Kdramas). At first, CDramas may seem very different—and they are—from Kdramas, but over time, you get used to it, and it's not a question of better or worse.

I think you can start, then.

I agree about the wounds...if they're serious, shouldn't they continue to bleed? Even the cloth with the severed head was dry and clean. However, I appreciated that instead of ending the fight with a scratch on his face and at most two drops of blood—as often happens in similar dramas—he was practically covered in it, so much so that he even had blood in one eye...

People always complain, about everything. Never mind.

Compared to the novel, the drama is proceeding faithfully (I was afraid some of the more gruesome scenes, including the severed heads, would be cut, but fortunately not...), but I too would have preferred longer episodes; they fly by too quickly...

Aside from the actors, one nice thing is that it has an atypical approach, mixing elements of fantasy, wuxia, xianxia, ​​and the supernatural.

I agree. "Duan Xu seems too young to be a general."...In fact, in the novel, he's a 19-year-old general. So that's exactly how it should be. Lately, he's been demonstrating great versatility (the character of Fang Muyang/Love Story in 1970 is emblematic of this).

The acting in Ever Night was still a little immature—he wasn't yet 18 at the time—but yes, in many ways Duan Xu reminds me of Ning Que...

The drama is currently as good as the novel it's based on. I wouldn't believe the rating; in these cases, it's better to judge for yourself...

5° episode express

They finally changed the poster here on MDL (this third one is better than the second, but my favorite is still the first one)

Beyond the incongruity, I meant to say that I wish I had those extra 10 minutes per episode 🤣

MDL lists 40 episodes of 45 minutes each. The running time is shorter (most are 40 minutes, and one is 35 minutes, including the opening and ending themes). Such a pity!

He is the real Duan Xu; what happened to him as a child has been hidden from the world, which is why his story seems suspicious to He Simu. Thanks to his acumen and sharp senses, he understands that He Simu is not a normal human being (even simply when she turns pieces of paper into butterflies).

In fact, even though it's not listed on MDL, Viki is showing it among the upcoming dramas...

I think this could be described more as fantasy/supernatural than xianxia. Ok, the FL is immortal, but it's more a distinction between the living and the dead, than a distinction between the three realms (mortal, immortal, demonic)...

I'll try to look on the bright side: at that hour everyone else is asleep, so no one will bother me 🤣
