People generally complain about the beginning of Xianxias but it is usually my favorite arc because it is happy and sweet and afterwards there is only suffering. When I finish a Xianxia I always comeback to rewatch these first episodes and heal my hurt :) I like this drama a lot for now, Yang Zi is the best actress for Xianxias for me, she can make this cute leads very funny and also convey their suffering, I never feel bored watching her funny expressions. The scene she open her eyes to make fake tears when talking to the emperor had me rolling, she is just too funny!
I a bit confused about the ending. Maybe someone can explain it to me. How did they live?
I agree with you, they are deities going through a trial in the mortal realm. They don't look like "diying" in the end because they return to their deity form and congratulate they defeated the demon and passed their trials. The last scene is they talking in their deity forms deciding to go to the trial together. It is sweet, it actually reminds me of Ashes of Love, when Jin Mi and Phoenix die in the mortal realm and awaken immediately from their trial. But in Fu Yao it could be more clear if they actually awake in another form not just keep talking making people think they didn't die.
What I understood is that they are both immortals going through trials to defeat demon queen. She was the one going to the trial but he said he would go with her. The last dialogue before the "celestial realm scene" is when both are already dead and return to their immortal forms and celebrate they passed the trial and defeated the demon. Finally the last scene in the celestial realm is actually they talking BEFORE going to five kingdoms realm to pass their trials.
I feel like this is a mature love story that involves a lot of themes unfamiliar to most K-dramas. It's not just…
I understand very well the intention of the drama to show that, but the thing is, I don’t want to see that in a historical drama, if it was a modern drama ok, but historical? Do you think Deok Im would really think like that? And exactly what “freedom” she would have? She was a palace maid, the ultimate goal of palace maids was to be noted by the King. Even if she wasn’t with him, she couldn’t be with any other man, she would have lived a celibate, she would serve and obey other people, she couldn’t go out of the palace any time she wanted, I don’t think this show really puts the life of a palace maid in a real light, unless she didn’t loved him, if she didn’t loved him, to be with him would be a prison like they showed. If she wanted freedom, why be a court maid? Why didn’t she go with her brother when he asked, this show does not make sense!
I agree with some comments below. I like the beginning of this show a lot, but when it started to became famous, it actually start to drag, and drag, and drag. I have lost the count on scenes of Yi San declaring his love and Deok Im saying she does not feel anything. It was not once, twice, three, four times, it was every episode until the last two episodes, and even until the last she never said she loved him, like, what? Is this really a romance? Deok Im character changed a lot from the beginning to the final part, it was the first romance drama that got me really questioning if the main lady loved the main lead. They could have showed her free spirit in other way, but watching one sided romance until the last episode was really tiring and got me upset. In my opinion, this is bad writing.
I’m 101 % Mr Mu didn’t kill and not involved with the killings of TXL family, because if he was involved he…
He said to her she must trust him even if she can't see him, I'm sure her faith in him is complete, thats couple goals, he knows he needs to do it and that she won't leave him, but I'm sure deep inside he was so afraid she would leave him.
This drama gives me so many Nirvana in Fire vibes...I'm surprised it isn't on the recommendations. The lead is seeking vengeance and making schemes, the FL is like Prince Jing, it is a phoenix out of favor, in NF Lin Shu must help Jing to size power, in FL TXL must help Mu because he needs money and power from Mu family. Like Lin Shu, TXL is not only seeking vengeance for his family, but also trying to clean the corruption in the system and also put some personal affection, in Lin Shu's case was to help his childhood friend, and in TXL's case, his lover. It is just me or other friends here also saw the similarities?
I didn't watch a lot of the criticisms but as long as they're polite, I think criticism can help psuh us to be…
I do understand where the criticism about the lighting and cameras come from but for my personal taste good writing > fancy shots. In fact, I’m so over fancy shots and dark filter with pseudo detective plots, there’s a bunch of those dramas already but some youtubers only criticize xianxias and romances for being repetitive. What I really can’t agree with the comparison with “too late to say I love you”. This drama is totally different from that one, the only thing in common is that it is a romance in republican era.
People criticizing the lighting and filter of this drama, lol, I wish all the dramas had only this to criticize, but most of the time is boring plot, lack of chemistry, bad acting, stupid writing, which none happens in this drama. Even some stupid comparisons with old dramas I saw people on youtube doing, really? Now any republican era drama needs to be compared to that particular drama? Because, besides the era, nothing else is the same, completely different plots. Some people must find something to criticize hell knows why...
Surprisingly good show with good writting (so far), acting and production. I have only one complain, the ML’s hair, that weird bang does not get me at all.
The story is actually really good, but fail with poor production and really bad acting, I could barely watch ep 6, the ML acting made me cringe so much.
I loved it, I like it more than One and Only, I couldn’t stop since beginning and I like that their new lives are compatible with what they were back then. They also had to deal with the same struggles of people against their marriage, “eloping”, family problems and so on, but this time around is a HE.
What I understood is that they are both immortals going through trials to defeat demon queen. She was the one going to the trial but he said he would go with her. The last dialogue before the "celestial realm scene" is when both are already dead and return to their immortal forms and celebrate they passed the trial and defeated the demon.
