I feel like I just got punched in my stomach really hard. I was a big fan of his and was always on the lookout for his new dramas and movies. This really hurts my heart, even more since I never had any idea of the amount of pain he must have been in that lead him to make this kind of decision. I hope he's at peace now. I hope his family and friend will find some comfort in the memories that have of him.
I loved this drama so much, Bai Yu is quickly becoming one of my fav C-drama actors! I'm so ready for season 2 and the romance between our two leads being developed, as long as it's done right and doesn't ruin the story. I worry that it might feel forced or awkward. Also, I hope they keep the same actors because it would ruin season 2 if they didn't.
I've already decided going into this drama that I wasn't going to compare S1 and S2. I wanted to enjoy this season on its own because it would be unfair to the actors. Although, I'm only two episodes in it's pretty good so far. The ML hasn't quite won my heart yet but it still early.
The ending was lame, I mean, I spent 44 episodes watching the ML risk his life to go through trials of fighting, struggling, he even died then come back to life, he lost close friends and two women he deeply cared about. He was finally chosen as Taoism Grandmaster, put on the armor and I thought ok he's going to go bad ass now, but???? nope he pretty much opens a door and returns the armor, yep thats it.
I really shouldn't have marathoned seasons 1 & 2 over the last four days. The push and pull of the couples got annoying, the evil maniacal laughing of the villains was cringy, and watching the ML fall in love with the three different versions of the FL got boring. Although, it was a happy ending for our couples (finally) I was left feeling...... meh.
