I’m still humming the OST

If you are trying to decide whether to watch it, then it depends on what you're looking for. most viewers including me agree that it’s an excellent series - acting, directing, character develeopment, etc. you can tell the whole crew is invested in it (there’s a bts clip where our ML actor was filming even with an injured leg.) and we all grew to love the characters to the end. So…. That’s why the ending is so emotional for us and we need time to process. Personally, I still think it’s a great series with an ending that feels consistent with the story. I’m kinda glad the scriptwriters had the courage to stay the course (for the most part) to the story and not cave
in to the pressure of what would have been a popular ending.

Up for interpretation.

As always, wonderful thorough yet concise summary and evaluation. Thanks.

Have you seen these two shorts?

I’m watching Derailment and Perfect and Casual (need a light fluffy romance drama to lighten things up). Dropped The Last Imortal.

Up for interpretation. Much discussions on this ending.

Very well put! It’s been so hard to get into Something else with this leaving such a huge impression. I guess, I can rest and heal until the next Gong Jun series comes out.

IKR? A lot of us are still feeling it ( it’s been a day for me). Sad but as one of the viewers said, weirdly uplifting. Lots of mixed emotions for me.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m with you…. 😭😭😭

Man oh man…. Finished this two hours ago and still processing. So much … so good… wow… it’s been such an amazing journey and TBH I am glad the ending is not a fairy tale ending… it just wouldn’t feel right to just neatly package every couple together.., I am ok with the ending because it’s consistent with all the leading character’s character and loyalty and love for the people.

If what you are referring to as a happy ending is a couple being together, then there is one couple ( maybe they will be rormantic in the future but there’s so much that’s happened so it would be unrealistic to cover that). However, I would say it’s bittersweet. Not meant to follow the happily ever after fairy tail ending. But there’s now peace and unity in the countries, which is a happy ending. Each country ends up being lead by people who put the country first vs their own selfish ambitions.

You’re gonna get mixed responses but for what it’s worth I don’t regret finishing it to the end (but you’ll need a box of tissues). I enjoyed the whole journey. They filmmakers had to finish it within 40 episodes. I don’t think it was an easy task given what they had to cover.

This whole drama is about the journey. Even though I bawled, it was satisfying and worth my time to watch to the end.

In a way, I am so thankful that IQIYI is only feeding us a couple episodes a day. Allows me to enjoy it since I would not have the self control to pace myself.

I’m up to the latest chapter on TLI. Tbh, was disappointed since it’s nothing compared to AJTL. A bit annoying, not as deep, kinda boring… feel asleep a bit. I def enjoyed the Starry Love and Love between fairy and devil more.
