for me he was dead too since he put all his remains life force into the seed and the tree and also everywhere.he…
yeah and good interpretation, I completely agree with you. some comments saying that he reincarnated and all just make no senses to me honestly šš
Time to binge watch at 3x speed the last 4 epsšš š
ep 33 : Rumuās death felt pretty dumpā¦ Didnāt make me sad either. Still feel how it was so stupid when they just let the father āfreeā before. if he escaped, I would have been more like okay, but this part of the plot just feel stupid. Still think how it made no sense he wasnāt imprisoned and chained after what he did. look at what it led. would this have change anything, probably not, Rumu was pretty weak and stupid anyway because why the hell did he go see him. yo what the entire episode was over while I was writing this comment. Just saw ep 33 was like 30 min, so shortš®š® ep 34 is really short too
ep 34 : finally that trash father is dead. Evil Fuguiā¦ probably the only way to slay the Black Fox, that villain is way too powerful. the umbrella is kinda cool
ep 35 : I wish I did, but felt nothing watching the pavilion scene and FL ādeathā. There hasnāt been really any meaningful romance moment and I am not feeling the love between them unfortunately. and the dialogue in that scene didnāt help. I donāt believe what they had was romantic love. one ep to go
ep 36 : honestly it make totally sense ML dying, that was his purpose and poor guy suffered so much in his life. that was the best ending for him and it was expected from the beginning. okay FL is saved and back as her spider demon form, which kinda make sense. back to reality.
but I hate these kind of open ending that leaves up to imagination. to me he is dead and like everywhere? how to say it, we saw his body dispersed into little dust. we see nothing, just his voice and I saw some comments āhe reincarnated and they reunited, itās HEā okay if this is how you see it
it was all a sad story in general, but I had a hard time connecting to the story I think and for a tragic drama, it didnāt make me feel much of anything. goes on my list of disappointment for 2025
okay now whatās next iQIYI, we need something good to finish this year
I've been waiting for this drama for a while, I really hope it doesnāt disapoint. not that optimistic for the plot with the past dramas the screenwritwer was part of, we'll seeš« š«
it was like 5h30 am, curiosity got the best of me, just went to see a bit the last few minutes only, Yun Fei talking... I was like ah okay Fui Gui is dead, expected š not very positive with the comments either. I'll probably finish later today if I feel like it. I should go back to sleepš“š“
but! one side couple with a happy ending. (Yun Fei and his wife. If I saw correctly) isn't this the first in the entire franchiseš š š
I liked ep 2 even more than ep 1. I just really hope they don't make SML like the FL, I already dislike 'love triangle' but that would be weird and very unffiting to me with the main plot (and ML plus SML being cousins, friends, allies). okay false alarm, just saw ep 3 preview. it shouldn't happenš š
I've been pretty bored and uninterested for many eps, but damn eps 31-32 made me cry a lotšš. everytime there is father-son or it's related to LIP, it makes me emotional. that drama and their love story broke my heart back then. I really feel like my experience of watching Sword and Beloved would have been different if I hadn't watch LIP. The love and romance I felt the most in the entire fox spirit Matchmakers franchise is definitely the leads from LIP. the 3 main reasons I started watching this dramas : - father-son relationship -> feel like it could have been better written for some parts (I am gonna explain in my review) - the romance between the leads -> that was personally a miss unfortunatly. not watching for this anymore - to see the black fox ending -> pretty much why I am still watching now and the actors since they are doing good, I wanna see how the story ends. hope we get a good last battle šš
still an okay watch to me, definitely have flaws and all, but itās not boring me. I am still watching daily and itās keeping me more interested than some recent drama
the leads dating era lasted 1 ep, looks like from previews for nexts eps, the leads should be separate for at least 4 epsš¤š¤watching the leads romance is a bit awkward, but some moments still make me smile. weāll see later on. these kind of kiss they do in some dramas always look awkward. a shot of a few second, standing there, no movement, barely lips touching. donāt know why directors do this
itās not doing good for any side couples eitherš - Chu Ling Yiang and Song Qing Ping : she keeps trying and he keeps rejecting herā¦. from ep 27 preview, maybe some development incoming - Chu Jin and Song Wen Chang : itās over for now. Itās good he wants to do something with himself and everything he said to her, but her side can still be understandable. with seeing her parents and the dad die on the battlefield, she knows the reality of a military wife - the princess and traitor : I liked how she stood for her country and all, no mercy even if she probably likes him (well yes couldn't kill him, but at least she was getting him arrested). too bad bro came back (and how ahaha he left arrest but back free 2 sec later). now gonna be kidnapped and on the move - Gu Chu Sheng is divorced and gonna try to get FL backš¤¦āāļø
probably, but I personally wouldnāt if I had too šš(with the premium VIP subscription you donāt have…
standard and premium are both VIP, there is a comparaison below where you buy the subscription on the app. Standard : 2 devices, up to 1080 video quality, you don't have the binge watch option (which is express and sometimes, more short or for less know dramas, you can have more eps or the entire thing at once). Premium : 4 devices, up to 4k video quality, binge-watch
If the drama airing on IQIYI is originally from another plateform (Tencent or mangotv), express is not gonna be on IQIYI, which is understandable (for example Viki is just streaming from all the plateform and doesnāt have express either). this happened a few times : legend of the female general, Si Jin, love never fails,... there has to be others, the names are not coming to meš š for the iQIYI dramas, I have always seem express for the ones I watched
I'm not sure if they'll sell it, since they bundled it with the VIP package. I remember instead of them giving…
TJOL was coproduce with Tencent I think, did they had the main rights on the drama, maybe. Express was only on Tencent/Wetv. This is purely an iQIYI drama, normally it should have express, weāll have to check again on Sunday š
I guessed in the first few episodes that his son must have died at the moment they tried to put down his dog when…
ah yes this too, there were some hints from the beginning the son was dead.
all these events had a part to play to his unfortunate death, yeah the wicked man knew what he was doing (donāt know if you have finished, after seeing ep 18ā¦), his lie scelled his fate
finished the first epā¦ wasnāt really funny, I didnāt laugh once and wasnāt keeping me interested muchššš maybe watching this tired around 11pm is not helping š š I am gonna try ep 2 tomorrow
