Yes, i think that’s one interpretation. But I think there can be more than this interpretation. In the past, we discussed this a lot. Your interpretation is quite similar to another user. I personally think there was more than that. 😅 The beautiful thing is that so many interpretations are all true. I think that sets this drama apart from others

That’s true. Shuhe never got over Zi’ang, and he hated himself for it. It makes me cry every time when he says, “But what I hate most is that I love you”…
Kill to love is criminally underrated, it’s such a hidden gem! I think the drama had just really bad timing… :(
This is the first time I felt frustrated with a protagonist choosing the kingdom over love. I understand his responsibility,…
I have to politely but firmly disagree with you. You’re certainly free to stick to your opinion, but I think Shuhe has the right (regardless of the reason) to break up with Zi’ang. Zi’ang might not want that, but a relationship has to work for both partners. If one person doesn’t want it anymore, the other has to accept that. I know this is a drama, and I love Zi'ang, but... Zi’ang should have accepted Shuhe’s decision.
Do you recommend its novel? + does it have a happy or sad ending?
The novel has a sad ending, just like the drama. It’s different though.
As for recommending: 1) there’s no official or fan translation. So either you can read Chinese or read with automatic translation. 2) it’s different from the drama. The bones are there, but it’s its own thing, so hard to tell whether you’re going to like it 😅
Ep 1I didnt understand anything at all yet!!! LOL I will keep watching and update my comment soon :)Update:I was…
Where did you watch the drama? Because the subs on YouTube are machine translated and therefore not the best (sometimes very confusing...). The subs from gagaoolala are much better.
Country is labelled as Singapoore but all actors are chinese !!!! i think its mislabeled and should change it…
That's a common question. ;) The drama is a Chinese production, however it is registered in Singapore, and with Singaporean sponsoring to bypass censorship.
In appreciation: One Year Since the Filming of Kill to LoveKill to Love — such an unfortunate English title…
Thank you so much for these wonderful words for this exceptional drama. You really captured the beauty of it! Reading reminds me why I love it so much ❤️ ShuHe’s and ZiAng’s love transcends life itself.
I was looking forward to the "black flag" in this and was even more excited for a successful revenge plot…
Your're welcome, I know I am a KTL fan, I just fell in love with these endlessly complicated characters (esp Shuhe), so don't mind me (I can write about them at length). XDD
But it's absolutely fine if you didn't like parts about the drama - you give the drama the rating you think it deserves. Not every drama can appeal to everyone. :)

Well, it's just my opinion that the scene where everyone sits together and eats happily is because it's their wedding day... like you know how in weddings sometimes ppl come together who don't get along, but for the sake of the occasion they tolerate the other one's presence? XD
For your second question - it is complicated, and Shuhe loves and hates Zi'ang at the same time. What changes in the end is that Shuhe (by having a final escape/revenge/redemption (aka his own death)), he can now fully embrace his love for Zi'ang - because he knows that his hatred can be satisfied later. At least that is one interpretation. And in death Shuhe and Zi'ang were finally free, no longer burdened by what stood wrong between them. A new beginning, like Shuhe had said in the last episode. "Let's start over..."
In the comment section we have had many lengthy discussions on how much love vs. hate there really was in Shuhe. And that in the end is up to every viewers own interpretation. Some may see it as more of revenge, to others it is closer to redemption. Let me see if I can find the discussions for you to read... Edit: Here it is: https://kisskh.at/788946-shan-he-yong-ji#comment-23942252
Need me a crier like Duan Zi Ang. On some real talk, the acting in this is INCREDIBLE!! Especially the main leads…
Well, other wuxia/xianxia BLs, as in *not* censored,... K2L and MYATB I think are the only ones. Others are bromance/censored adaptations of original danmei works. :( You can check out the recommendations, but likely you've already seen them, such as The Untamed or Word of Honor...?

Also, their hairstyle should help, even if you think they look alike 😉
