The directors? Hmmm. Well, I read the last paragraph of the sentence as: "Sacrificing one's life during a national crisis - I'll face death unflinchingly. The last battle - I have no regrets".
To me, it's just a state of mind during that scene. Unless you have a Weibo post where the director said he died? Honestly, it is not a definite answer to me lol. I guess I'm the sort of the person who demands more solid proof lol
Can you read Chinese? My Mandarin is pretty half-assed, but from what I can hear or read it is that, "Yuan Zhou believes that by sacrificing his life for the country, and suddenly he dies, it's like returning home." I'm trying to decipher the rest, but it's just poetic language about shooting arrows etc lol. I may have to get my Chinese-reading friends to help lol
I'll have a deeper look at the translation of the post, but I feel that it's still ambiguous lolz. Yes, the last five minutes was really exasperating, though it actually gave me a lot of comfort when I first saw it.
Haha for a moment I thought you changed your mind about them being still alive. Agree with your cons. It gave people unnecessary hope that some would still be alive. The comedy bits lulled people into thinking it's a light hearted drama for a moment.
I agree with your review as well, we actually never saw Yu Shi San, Yuan Zhou and Ru Yi bodies at the end. On…
Oh that was the first thing I thought! As this is a strong cultural hint I bet most Chinese folks did too. In my head they are on their way to be reborn into better lives having earned merits in this one
I still think the main cp is alive because it still doesn’t make sense why CY would see NYZ and RY kids in the…
Yup I rewatched episode 40 twice to see if I misunderstood. I'm now more sure than ever that it was all real, and they're alive. Explained it here: https://kisskh.at/profile/cfan/feeds/ZV4LVCx
It's always nice to meet someone else who believed that the two survived. Like you, I didn't feel like it was…
> I'm also not one to think everyone should died just because others died so they can all be reunited.
They actually believe that? lol. I mean, the afterlife, being the afterlife, they will eventually be reunited anyway! Yuan Zhou and Ruyi could've died much later and joined the troupe!
Total agreement with this ending; didn’t make sense any other way. And directors def screwed up the ending.…
Yeah, I think the clues that we spotted were too subtle for most to pick up. Also, maybe they can be a tad less ambiguous with the ending. And maybe people would be happier if they saw Yang Ying and LTG, how they are 10 years from the events. People just want closure, I think.
They like writing an open ending to make us suffer 🤣
It drives me nuts that we're the minority because the clues are JUST THERE for it, while the ones about their deaths are "oh, the ending is overly CGI'ed, the music score hinted their ends, it's a dream, it's the afterlife" - the reasons are flimsy to me. And I just don't know why with so many clues they refuse to believe that they're alive lol

Lol, yes this. I'm not sure why people do this.
