I was hoping to see it again too. It was in episode 9 that I was hooked when we saw how powerful he was.

I love him in this drama. They casted the perfect actor for DFQC.

I didn’t care for Danyin and Jeili either. I don’t think it adds much to the overall story and too much time was wasted on them in episode 34 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes I thought the same! Something big is going to go down…I didn’t think they would leave us with a sweet happy ending with flowers, rainbows and butterflies. I expected Mudeok to resist the bells since she’s in the powerful priestess Buyeon’s body but I suppose they had to find an ending for her since she won’t be in season 2. I was hoping they would explore Buyeons power more but perhaps they will next season.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait for December.

I thought she would be able to resist the bell too. Afterall, she’s in the body of the supposedly powerful priestess Buyeon.

I initially had the same thought as you but i rewatched it, when Xunfeng said to DFQC that he failed to release the 100,000 soldiers it was in reference to removing the bone orchid bracelet and not sacrificing her with the Chengying sword. Orchid did that on her own accord to save DFQC from resorting to the evil spirit. When she offered to kill herself, Xunfeng went along with it and allowed her to do it without DFQC’s knowledge. DFQC never wanted to sacrifice her.

I have a newfound appreciation and respect for Orchid. Her love for DGQC never wavered…she knew in her heart with an absolute that he truly loved her so she would do anything, including sacrificing herself, to save the man she loved. This is the purest of love.
Some people may think she acts and sound childish but in the contrary, she has common sense and trusts her own judgement unlike other female leads who fall for the ML’s lies that are done to protect and save them.
There are unnecessary misunderstandings because the FL is not gullible and she’s smart. Give it up for our leading lady 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

They’ve gone way too easy on him. He needs to die a painful slow death to make up for all the wrong he’s done but even then it won’t be enough.

I love the voice actors voice. It’s perfect for the role of DFQC

I definitely would have tugged at our hearts more and add to the angst

I would have preferred his screaming over the music that was played over it

Hahha I like your way of thinking girl. Why not have the best of both worlds? Marry CH for the 3 realms and to fulfill the marriage contract then also be with DFQC because she loves him and obviously he’s wayyy hotter 😝

I was a little let down by the heartbreak too though. I wanted to see more angst. She lay dying in his arms and there was no dialogue. No last words for her. It would have tugged at my heart more if there was some dialogue.

I’m glad DFQC didn’t succumb to the evil spirit but I would have liked to see him in action during the war. Although his hellfire isn’t at 100% and he can’t control it like he used to, I still wanted to see him partake in the fighting too. We saw how powerful and awesome he was in episode 9 when he rescued Orchid so I wanted to see some of his awesomeness even if it would be just a fraction if it. He would still be a force to be reckoned with.

Earlier this week I cried watching the preview of episode 32 when Orchid begged him not to leave her so I expected to be bawling today but surprisingly I didn’t cry at all.

Also, I expected some dialogue between them as he held her dying in his arms. I expected more angst, remorse, regret…idk. I just didn’t feel what I expected to feel watching that scene.

I went back to rewatch and you’re right…the plan was to have XF oversee and help remove the bracelet. DFQC wasn’t aware of her sacrificing herself..

You’re right. I went back to rewatch that scene and XF said to DFQC that he’s incompetent and can’t release the 100,000 soldiers. This is in reference to the bracelet and not the the use of the Chengying sword.

Anyway, I still think the battle scene could have been better.

Let me start by saying I’m a die hard, obsessed LBFAD fan so please, no hate as I express my first impressions after watching episode 31/32. Perhaps I was expecting some kind of epic battle but I was left underwhelmed. Maybe the anticipation of waiting 5 days had me expecting more but I felt there was not enough action in the battle scene. I was left wanting more.
Also, I thought DFQC pushed Orchid away in order for her to fall out of love with him so the bone orchid bracelet can be safely removed. However, it seemed he was aware of Xunfeng’s plan to have Orchid willingly sacrifice herself using the Chengying sword and he was okay with it. In my opinion, it seemed a little out of character for him. I suppose he really did decide to sacrifice her if that is the case.
Anyway…maybe you guys have some more insight…I’m still processing these two episodes. Maybe I’ll go back and rewatch it. Perhaps I missed some key details.

She’s on vacation in the mortal realm enjoying fine wine and entertainment.
Anywho, she needs to come back quick to help save her disciple.

I hope they reveal what the secret is. Maybe it’s the secret to how they both can survive and one doesn’t have to die if the other survives.
