Ep 33: Another time wasting JX/LX focused episode (yuck). WTF or how to make your viewer rating crash 101.?!?!? Only saving grace? YT gets smacked in the face a few times. YES!!!
So JX can grow that much hair overnight but can't fix his eyesight? ಠ_ಠ
I think he is faking it. I suspect her second mortal trial has to do with him. Doesn't he want to unlock the abyss so that he can kill the dude that framed his father? I think he needs LX to do that. But I wasn't paying that much attention to his parts I need to go back and re-watch.
Just by looking at the picture of the actor playing JC he doesn't look like a leading male lead, at least not…
He is actually a really ruggedly handsome actor definitely not a pretty boy good looking type which historical c-drama tends to favor. But whoever did his styling on this show really saddled him with the most unflattering hair job possible. If you google his images in Crouching Tiger you will see what I mean - he looks drop dead gorgeous there. Much better than even Mark Chao/Ye Hua at his best. It really drives me insane that the production team did this to him. Btw, all the male hairstyles are pretty awful and it makes a Si Ming/Yun Feng/Yuan Tong's fiancee look practically identical to each other. The stylist needs to be fired.
Wait, she started liking JX? I thought she liked JC, even made him that pouch thing. How did that happen...
LOL indeed it was and next thing you know JX seems to be staying there with her and she only very reluctantly acknowledges she was engaged to JC! No good deed goes unpunished!!!
So far the directors have really made the FL sound and look dumb. Nothing she does make sense. Let's hope it is…
Well it is certainly a big improvement that she is not a fawning love sick adolescent. And I agree Ni Ni is a very graceful and charming actress which is evident throughout so I hope they give her more to work with...

Some of the trailers of episodes 30+ show her and JX living together like they have set up house or something and spending time together. I hope it’s not as bad as it looks.
Duuude even tho it's for a little time or idk but it's obv that LX's interest will switch or smth and I think…
LOL agree re Dong Hua. And seriously everyone is also ignoring how deliciously older Bai Qian was relative to Ye Hua. Talk about reverse sexism.!!! I am at 28 I just switched to Longest Day in Changan bc of JX. Tell me where he dies horribly and I will pick up from there! LOL Just kidding I just need a break.

You are right but I thought Li Jing was her main love interest then and I thought he was hot. He lost me because he was weak but I didn’t have a visceral negative reaction to him. JX on the other hand struck me as slimy and two faced from the beginning. Well before I even imagined him even remotely as an alternate love interest for LX. And LX I find charming and lovely but already borderline in that she is already so helpless when it comes to JC. But I excuse it because she is young and infatuated but supposedly intelligent. The yucky slimy oily snake oil salesman feel of JX is so obvious I don’t know if I can still be in her camp if her judgement is so bad her flesh doesn’t crawl just to be around him. I feel like my house is burning down during a drought right now... I cannot bear it!!!

I hope you are right because I watched so many episdes now I am invested in wanting this to end well. But you know with c-drama once bitten twice shy... I swear if they stab me in the heart on this one, I am going back to stupid non- heart breaking american dramas.
Honestly that JX is just a CREEP. Seriously. This whole arc is spoiling the show for me. So many complain about how JC is " old" etc for LX but seriously is JX just a creepy and he is at LEAST as old as JC. Worse he has that oily butter won't melt in my mouth kind of double entrende laden tone in all his words. If LX is not smart enough to get it and be creeped out I can't like this chick. The fact she started out weak and namby pamby love struck adolescent like was bad enough. To fall for a total creep like JX is just like I want to barf. Even if her mom dropped her on her head when she was a baby its no excuse for such bad tase in men. I hope this awful part ends soon bc this is just like killing this so far up until now pretty good show. This show which was up till now a 8-10 range for me is now crashing into the 6-8 range for me.
I’m loving this series. I was a big fan of Eternal Love but it is moving a bit slower than I’d like and not…
I agree it’s been erring on the slow side but actually there were many, many very slow parts in TMOPB too but the love story was so intense it kind of magic erases it from your memory. Hasn’t quite happened here yet but there is still time so finger still crossed.
Love this movie! It is almost unthinkable that the last three episodes got censored and never get aired. Your…
The ending has many mystical aspects so it is not very clear to me as well - some of this is just what I think happened. Daji and Zi Xu became very intertwined towards the end - she pretty much lost her battle with evil and that is why Zi Xu says that he and Daji are one and the same. Remember she sold him her soul in exchange for her revenge which by then was almost complete. I think its quite key that Daji threw herself in between King Zhou and Ji Fa because she wanted to impale herself on Ji Fa's demon slaying or heaven sword. By sacrificing her life you could even say that she also kills the Zi Xu, who is the evil within her. Jiang Ziya tries to deify her and Zi Xu by making them star immortals but Daji rejects the investiture. The other immortals beg Ziya to intervene to try to save her but Yang Jiang surprisingly accepts that this is her wish. Jiang Ziya explains that she is deeply remorseful for her wickedness and regrets that she can never go back to being Yang Jiang's Daji again. Yang Jiang asks Jiang Ziya where she went to and he gives a cryptic unclear answer that implies she still exists somewhere. My best guess is that somewhere is either only in Yang Jiang's memory or some kind of time warp where she is still Daji before all the bad things happened to her. Yang Jiang finds her "there" in their old home and she is the same Daji in very beginning episode giving food to the poor (but she stands alone). She speaks to him and asks if this is all a dream. It is how she wants Yang Jiang to remember her - back at home and once again the innocent, kind and happy girl she once was. It is a happy sad ending.
I am not surprise this drama was pulled, it deviated too much from the classic novel. I think they should have…
That's kind of true but actually he is so intertwined with her that he just chooses to perishes with her. She refuses to be saved or immortalized and just goes back to some amorphous time warp place or trapped in Yang Jiang's memory before all these bad things happen to her. Tragic.

Maybe that is the official excuse but all the plot changes were weighted in the early and not late episodes. The rest was compressed into 4 episodes and I suspect that large chunks of the empire toppling battle scenes were cut because the ending actually was decent not rushed or sloppily edited. But if that was the reason they should have just renamed the thing something else like you said and just put the whole thing out there.
