I don't think this is a sad ending, it was expected of him to do that, from the very beginning it was clear that…
Plot convenience will exist in fantasy story, it just something that inevitable. Heck even LOTR have so many convenience like Aragorn get Anduril and look he have ghost army to beat Mordor invaders. It is just how those convenience explained enough in the lore. The most convenient thing in IS is how last artifact actually is in Yelan Mt but it explain why Yelan MT have such powerful healing power since beginning. Even that there is a consequence when they took the artifact, Yelan MT become dry land and spirits lost their home. It is not like " here is your plot convenience and bye "
Just finished the ep 60 and 61 clips... glad it's a happy ending but I still really wanna know who in the world…
I think it is Yu Mo but he just wanted to keep it secret. They making eye contact and smile each other than announce Zhao Lan married to stranger, that do not makes sense especially Zhao Lan have strong admiration for Yu Mo.
Two endings : SP1 and SP2. But I don't know how I feeling about it, read my spoiler comment below.
Those are extra ending everyone hoping for but honestly I really don't know why they do it and cut it such way, It feels so disjointed. I think they should just do one more full episode. Overall YY and YD reincarnated on mortal world, everyone gather together and happy ending for everyone. Jian Cheng also reincarnated back.
So everyone happy I guess but it just feels weird. I think ep 59 is real ending that director choose with open ending.
Ah this page go really slow now. I am preparing review for this drama after those extra episodes air. It was so fun discussing this drama when it is airing, predicting plot and whatnot. Ofc shared frustrating experience over Yin Deng lol.
