"I did so much for you and what did I get in return?" that is the problem with Sui He and the same problem with Run Yu, they think if they do something to help someone they're entitled to them and their love, that's not how love works, that's how possessing someone works. Jun Mi saves Xu Feng not expecting anything other than his well being, that's how love works. The difference is apparent.

That's crazy! and I'm not surprised, it's how the viki comments always are, it's ridiculous because they like a character more they want to force Jun Mi with them, they're no better than Run Yu with their trying to force love no wonder they like him so much lol. The lack of respect for the main girls feelings as always.

Much props for Jun Mi and Xu Feng's actors for the wedding/murder scene, honestly heartbreaking, you could feel all the emotions, what a great scene. My heart hurt for Xu Feng.

If I had a euro for every time Run Yu wallows in his own self pity.........
He's either guilt tripping people or manipulating them, how nice and what's more shocking is the amount of apologists this character has even though his complete and utter lack of respect for Jun Mi and the amount of pain he has caused her all because of his own selfishness. If the actor who played him was not attractive, I'm pretty sure there would be a lot less defending him lol. Now Moon immortal and Yan You are males to love, if only they got half his screen time.

Well if that's true then I much prefer him in the drama too, I have not read it, I'm just going by what I've seen, I just seen many complaining about this, but I like him in the drama, so glad for those changes.

Going by many who read the novel it seems they really cut a lot out of Xu Feng's character from the book, such as his intelligence and what he does and made him solely about his love for Jun Mi instead which is a shame, would have liked to have seen both him and Jin Mi's characters fleshed out more, but they wasted too much time on side characters and Run Yun. Jun Mi could have done with more too, and in terms of both the drama and the book she has the pill in her far too long, it confines her and makes her robot like, only without the pill is she her true self, it was just dragged out too long, but nonetheless still like them both and think their love story is beautiful but it's just a shame is all.
I also hear apparently the main leads filmed for only 44 episodes and that's why there is so much side character scenes in the latter part of the drama which sucks.

Honestly Sui He and Run Yu would have been a perfect match lol both of them have no regard for the feelings of the person they claim to love and would stop at no lengths to force them.

I am not the one biased with a character, all your replies have been pure RY bias, you say it's not you being bias towards anyone but it is, so much of what you say is twisted from how it actually happened, and you keep trying to justify his behavior but demonize XF for stuff that doesn't compare, I am not saying anything bias for XF, I am saying the truth, it's not an opinion that RY becomes manipulative and treats JM like an object, so much tragedy in this was sparked by him, his character becomes full of guilt tripping and lies, and you keep making it seem so bad that she slept with XF when she was engaged to RY, she didn't want to be engaged to him, she was planning on breaking the engagement off so how can you forget that important detail, in fact she wanted to call off the engagement right after coming back from the mortal world but she couldn't bring herself to over how sad he was about his mother's death, and RY is the one that wouldn't let go of her, he tried to force her to love him, yet she's the bad guy to RY too? boo hoo she slept with the guy she actually loves, and XF and JM were engaged in the mortal world before they slept together and it was an engagement due to love unlike the arranged one that RY manipulated his way into, you keep painting RY as the victim, if you want to feel sorry for him feel free to do so, I mean he did have a sad childhood and he did suffer his own trials but in the end whatever he got, he brought it on himself, him having a sad background doesn't excuse it, in fact he wallows in his self pity to the point it's pathetic. No one is saying XF is a saint, all I have done is defend him from the wrongful accusations you've placed on him which is a lot, he is the good guy in this story, RY becomes the villain these are facts, XF made "mistakes" too but his mistakes and RY's are very different, just because they all make mistakes does not mean one is not far worse than the other, you're saying he is even responsible for his own stabbing, honestly I don't think we can agree on much, you seem to see the story in a different way than it is. I don't even understand the constant comparisons you keep making, why are you putting them against each other in the first place, like what does this change? moral is XF and JM loved each other and RY couldn't accept it and turned into a manipulative liar and caused a lot of hardships in it, even his love for JM was built on selfishness that I couldn't even feel bad about her not loving him, I have no respect for characters that try to manipulate or own someone who doesn't want them, if he had really loved her and let her go when he knew he couldn't have her, a lot of tragedy would have been saved and he would have been a better man and maybe then I could have sympathized with him but he didn't, he had anbsolutely no regard for her, he treated her like a pawn in his game, and again you're reaching towards XF, first you blame him for his parents doings and now you blame him for his own murder lol, you're saying he treated her like shit when she brings him back to life and yea he does treat her like shit,I can easily admit that because it's the truth but funny how you don't see all the time RY treats her like shit for no reason other than him wanting to own her, but in XF's case he had a damn good reason for treating her badly she had MURDERED him, she stabbed him in the back, told him that she never loved him as he was dying and RY had also said that they were working together to kill him, if I was him I would treat her like shit too because it makes sense for him not to believe she actually loves him, who would believe her in the situation? she was the person he loves more than anything, and in his eyes she just flat out had a plan to use and manipulate his love so that she could kill him, he didn't know the truth so you can't blame him for that, I find it absolutely hilarious that yet again you're blaming XF for something RY did, RY is the one who manipulated and brainwashed JM into thinking it was him who murdered her parents, and if he didn't so selfishly repair the pill in her just so that she wouldn't love XF, she never would be done what she did.
Well those are just a handful of dramas actually, Chinese more often than not do have sad or open endings, obviously there is happy endings but only a handful towards the amount there is.
At this point this topic really has gone stale, let's just finish and agree to disagree,

Jun Mi fell in love with Xu Feng even with the seal blocking it, Xu Feng abandons everything to follow her to earth to protect her, then with no memories they fall in love with each other again, if that isn't an OTP what is. I also love that all their moments in the mortal world parallel the ones when they first met.

Lol the love story was obviously XF and JM from the start so why did you watch it if you were going to rate it lower because of her ending up with what was obvious? I mean doesn't make much sense, unless you just mean him not getting a girl in general, but I'll tell you what RY deserved, a big hard slap in the face lol.

Just to further add as I forgot to mention it last time, another major thing that confirms she has been in love with XF as long as he's been in love with her is when she first starting getting a pain in her chest after separating from XF we see her subconscious saying to her I love someone and I want to tell him, this was her feelings underneath the seal, and then after the pill finally falls out she says that she realized she has loved him all along.

There's still too much misconceptions, actually JM was that naive, literally, she had no idea what marriage even meant, she's actually naive to the point of utter stupidity sometimes but then I remember she was raised like a child her whole life and was never told about anything to do with love since that's what her mother wanted to prevent, so her saying yes was just her thinking of what she could get, she didn't understand that marriage is something for people in a romantic relationship, she didn't even know the difference between men and women until XF hell she didn't even know she was a female lol.
Now going by what you said about the book ,in the drama it's completely different, they have given us a lovely love story that had so much trials but managed to make it, i mean if it's not your cup of tea that's fine but one should stay away from this drama if they aren't here for the love story I'd say, another thing I don't agree is that RY isn't evil or as bad as his father, he is, it was even mentioned by RY that his father was starting to see that he was the son that was similar to him, and different people make different choices and I found his choices to be extremely annoying, I heavily dislike characters that won't let go of someone that doesn't like them so that's one reason, XF is a very different person so there is a good chance he would have chosen a different path, we won't know however but I'm saying this as in it was RY that choose his own path, no one forced him, he could have rose above it but he gave in to his selfish and dark thoughts and let them win. Although in disagreement again about XF's parents, he had nothing to do with either of those crimes so that should not affect him ending up with JM, he proved how genuine his love was on so many occasions and he did so much for her, so what his parents did had nothing to do with him, I mean the poor guy even got stabbed by the person he loves most for something he didn't even do.
This is one of the only Chinese historical dramas where the couple actually end up together and happy so let us have that lol.
Just wondering do you have watch many historical dramas? just asking because the issues you seem to have with this drama are in a lot of historical dramas so it's not really a big deal if you get my drift whereas it might be a big deal if you don't watch much historical.

Actually no, Xu Feng liked her from the start, there is a reason he took her with him when he was leaving, it was well before he saw her in the dress, he even says he does not like her for her beauty, which is why Run Yu starts liking her because he saw her true appearance, so Xu Feng would have liked her first and this isn't a matter of who liked who first it's a matter of who is mutual and that is Xu Feng and Jin Mi, also she was in love with him from early on, there was several times her chest where the pill thing is hurt whenever she separated from Xu Feng and a few other mentions of him and she didn't know what it was, there would be no other meaning behind this. Over the pill she just wasn't aware of what it was but the feelings were still underneath. There is a scene that confirms this for those who couldn't get the memo, when her inner self is trying to break out and says she has someone she loves and wants to tell him.
The reason she agreed to marry him is because she thinks of the benefits of marrying him and doesn't even know what marriage or love is hence why she doesn't think twice about anything she says. No Xu Feng did not steal her from his brother lol she is not a possession, she has her own feelings, she could have chosen to be with Run Yu but she didn't have feelings for him, she has feelings for Xu Feng so no matter what you say it's not him stealing her, it's mutual, she is not a trophy. She was not engaged with him due to love, Run Yu knew she didn't love him but still was going along with it so painting Xu Feng and Jun Mi as the villains when it's Run Yu that is, Xu Feng did nothing to him, blaming Run Yu's problems on him is unfounded, he choose his own path, he wanted to own Jun Mi rather than love her. It's not Xu Feng's fault his parents loved him more, it's also not his fault that his parents are evil and treated Run Yu badly, Xu Feng always treated him well, even when everyone thought he tried to kill Xu Feng at the start, he believed in him, but well this topic is getting stale lol we can agree to disagree,

Actually she was in love with him from early on, there was several times her chest where the pill thing is hurt whenever she separated from Xu Feng and a few other mentions of him and she didn't know what it was, i thought that was pretty obvious, there would be no other meaning behind this. Over the pill she just wasn't aware of what it was but the feelings were still underneath but even this aside her falling for him in the mortal world shows that the only thing stopping them was the pill and I mean the only reason her mother gave her the seal in the first place was because of Xu Feng, she had a premonition of the love trial she would have to face. Also the novel is irrelevant, like many Chinese adaptions they make their own story out of the novel, we're talking about the drama, I and most who watched this are never going to read the novel, the novel is the novel and the drama is the drama, like you said yourself the drama created a love story between Xu Feng and Jun Mi and it's the drama we're talking about so whatever happened in the novel is irrelevant since it's a different story happening, even the characters are very different going by what you're saying about it.

Xu Feng didn't force his love on her though because she felt the same, that's the difference, Run Yu did it knowing she had no feelings for him, that is not the case with Xu Feng, had the feelings not been mutual he would have given up.

Honestly I sense a bit of Run Yu bias, i mean yea boo hoo his parents didn't give him the love he wanted or deserved, join the club lol, but Xu Feng didn't do anything to him, it's not Xu Feng's fault that his parents loved him more than Run Yu, I mean he was an illegitimate child so that's normally how those stories go, also Xu Feng did not "steal" his fiance, Xu Feng and Jun Mi were already in love before Run Yu even found out they were supposed to be engaged and Xu Feng liked her first so it was Run Yu that tried to steal Xu Feng's love, and it's regardless anyway because Jun Mi's feelings were for Xu Feng so? and when he becomes a backstabbing asshole it takes away from one having sympathy for him that we might have had if he went down a different path. All he does because Jun Mi doesn't love him, pathetic. I don't believe for a second he would have jumped in after Jun Mi because his love is selfish.
Going by what you're saying Xu Feng should have handed Jun Mi to Run Yu even though she doesn't love him so he could have his reward for not having it as easy as him growing up......Jun Mi is a person with her own feelings.

Omg I want to slap Run Yu so much in episode 15, so manipulative, acting like he doesn't know anything and trying to win over the Water Immortal, ugh dude get over it.

True, I'm loving Xu Feng and Jin Mi's story, so beautiful.

That's so disheartening to hear lmao.

CRIES I knew it they always get worse, and exactly, characters who can't accept when someone doesn't love them are my least favourite characters, it's only episode 14 for me and I already pull my hair out every time he comes on the screen lol so I take it I'll have no hair left at the end, the other person who replied to me says he gets less screen time than in the book but I see many saying he gets way too much screen time in this lol.
