I guess it’s a good decision I dropped this. Basically, it was good until ZenRong died and misunderstanding was cleared. They should have ended the series there, so both xiaosu and yuzheng go their own path, the end. I couldn’t take it anymore after ep 15, and wondering if I should continue, but reading this…I guess nope.

Yes, basically shanggu and tianqi were explained, shanggu’s one is basically the center of the story. Although it hurts, but it will be good if they stay at that instead of adding up hongri and gujun. The moment I saw gujun was saved, I was like ‘wth?’, it’s just so ‘forcefully made to be happy ending’ without giving us enough logical explanation how it happened. And it ruined the other concept, it suddenly gave me the ‘non sense’ feeling over the whole story. If it’s gonna be that ‘nonsense’ then they might as well suddenly make yuemi, zihan, muguang, snow goddess and all the died gods to re-appear 😞…I dunno, for me the part ‘gujun’ was saved really ruin everything…I love gujun, dun get me wrong, but after they made me heartbroken to see him gone and now u simply just told me he was back without any good explanation how…it is not satisfying at all. If u dun want certain characters to die so u dun disappoint viewers, then dun let them die at the first place, dun correct the situation simply by creating a new rule saying soul is found, can be reborn or other nonsense 😞

Yes, and BJ managed to find all the souls: shanggu, tianqi, hongri, even gujun…and yet during all those scenes, we saw all them died and disappeared for good. I know we all want a happy ending, and I’m glad hongri and gujun can be reborn, but too many souls were saved without any efforts, now it started to be ‘unbelievable’…

I don’t hate him. I am just saying, can they go and experiment with new comers on other series please…but not this one. We just love XieLian too much to take a risk…

That’s not my point. My point is, the story can go as crazy and as heartbreaking as they like, and they can simply just say ‘these souls are saved, can rebirth etc’ to save the day. Which is not a satisfying ‘happy ending’, it needs to have a good explanation and process…

Immortality will be dubbed, right? I really like LYX’s voice in AOL, the dubbed version made his voice so clear, deep and argggghh…no words can explain!

Please carry on, it’s only 2 episodes…at least for the sake of your obsession to CWN, please give it more time to develop 😂

One thing that is off for me from the overall story is: BJ seems to be able to make everyone who died in front of him to live again such as TianQi, Shanggu, Hongri and now Gujun.
Look at what happened to those who died in front of TianQi: Yuemi, Zihan…
It’s just to ‘forcefully made’ to be happy ending for me…

True, but the weird thing is how to explain how the professor understood chinese…but again, I wouldn’t like it if she forced to use english if the pronounciation is weird (like LiQin did in that military series

Yes, but the main couple chemistry is too strong for the 3rd wheel to even bother you

Yes I know, but I don’t think they have officially banned golden hairpin no?

Well, english pronounciation is hard for chinese tongue, just like the other way around. I personally think it’s ok, there is no requirement for these actors/actresses to speak english, so that should not limit the casting. But, at least get it dubbed or something, to make it more believable. But anyway, it’s just a small detail, totally forgivable considering the whole episode 1 is great :)

I know!! Not to mention it’s weekend! I regret starting it, should start after it airs for 2 weeks :(

Where did you read about it?

That’s also why I start to dislike the 2nd couple, because from 1st episode, they seem to be regular ‘cute’ & ‘sweet’ couple in c drama, and this kinda ruin the overall atmosphere of the drama. I hope I’m wrong, and the drama maintain the ‘intense’ aura consistently across each role…

Well, I would be depressed too if I were the FL. After the racism treatment, she had to return to china and let go of all the great facility for research she got abroad and work in this new lab in china where the culture is totally different: she had to start by reading for so many days! Need to imagine being a researcher, who had done experiments abroad and now being treated like a student who were asked to only read’. While for ML, he definitely has a lot in his mind, things we are not clear yet at this moment. But I do enjoy it, I have got too many ‘sweet’ and ‘cute’ c drama, so this one looks ‘serious’ and ‘intense’…so, a different taste for me…

I wonder if there is a spin off book for Qin and Senyu

Although it looks weird to me that FL used chinese to talk to the professor who used english, considering she had been working abroad since graduate (why dun they just dub it)…but the foreigners here can act…unlike 1st episode of Tears in Heaven which was set ‘abroad’ but the foreigners they casted were horrible to the max in their acting. But overall, I have a good feeling that this drama will offer a different style like regular c drama…

Yes, I like how they portrayed the different cultures, and how the FL showed her frustration due to culture shock

Me too!
