its been an emotional and on edge ride watching this series, it gave me so much anxiety and also satisfying moments too I never liked watching ongoing dramas because of this exact reason but this process of waiting every day, with anticipation and excitement was such a thrill even if the series had made us suffer with just releasing 1 episode a day, I also was actually happy because its that experience of looking forward to it, not knowing what will happen and feels like I had spent more time with these characters in their journey longer than just knowing them for a short while compared to them releasing the whole drama in 3 days and binging it all at one go and not being able to appreciate them. However, now that the drama is ending and many of the viewers will finish this series with the express pass, it somehow feels really bittersweet because we have been going along with these characters for some time seeing how their stories unfold, feeling their emotions and always with questions, but now that everything, the last 5 episodes that holds all the answer, is going to be dropped in one go, it feels like an insane gift thats undeserving because we’ve been discussing, sympathesizing, theorizing so long and now the answer we've been waiting for is just nonchalantly given all at once right at the tip of a click feels strange. And it actually makes me feel like I will miss that exhilaration and anxiousness of wanting to know the ending, but at the same time do not.
Its such a mixed feeling that the waiting game every day is ending, but at the same time, its also regretful, not wanting the series to end too.
However the drama may end, leaving us in an intense painful mess or not, I'm just thankful to know of this story, these characters, these actors, and glad to have experienced this emotional roller coaster ride with everyone!
I have been wondering for awhile now how Ji Ling has the memories puppet Ji Ling lost, the ones taken away from…
I think what SagaTeAles said was correct where the Dragon Deity Ji Ling still has those memories is because he sees the world in real time as the puppet Ji Ling wanders the world. Because remember that time when Wu Shiguang was being held captive for his 12 beads and first realized puppet Ji Ling was a wooden puppet and lost his arm? There was a moment where it looks like Dragon Deity Ji Ling panicked and open his eyes as if he could see all that commotion even when he was sitting by the lake house. and there was a recent part where he was demonstrating that he can feel the seasons were changing outside while he was meditating in shilin sect while the puppet Ji Ling wasn't there physically by his side.
so the memories of first meeting Wuyi wasnt erased because her Word Magic isnt as strong as the Dragon Deitys so it didnt affect him.
some may not like the directing of Ji Ling crying so much but I actually think it helps elevate the depth of the emotional turmoil hes going through. These silent tears feel much more hollow and painful than a single loud outburst, and these tears are the result of feeling anxious, helpless, stuck, and the fear he had hidden inside him for so long.
I don't think people realize that when you reach the down low of the lowest, and feel like you cant do anything and time is running out, even if you dont want to cry, tears will just roll out on its own.
He was never strong, and this pretentious facade is catching up and eating him. His fate was already doomed since birth, and now having the whole world’s lives on his shoulders pressuring his burden, knowing the fact he has to lose the one person he cherished most whom he just recently found, and now also has to give up his life at the end of it all when he just found something that makes it a little worth living for. Who wouldn’t be scared and full of tears?
Ji Ling is the embodiment of loneliness itself, so this amount of tears cant even be able to reflect how long and how much suffering and alone hes been going through.
the fact that a little broken fox just wants to be approved and live up to the almighty name he was suddenly and randomly dutied to do and to become something he probably never have thought he can become...
mind you, all this was just thrown to him out of nowhere, from nothingness, no special power, and no connection whatsoever to even being a lineage of the dragons or of similar classification ...
how selfless and benelovent he must have been to persevere just to fulfill and keep a promise that he never even needed to do in the first place?
How could a scale from the oh so holy high and mighty Chi Wen turn into a demon? Makes no sense. Haven't they…
for me, i think its because loneliness isnt a good thing. its a dark feeling that haunts you.
and as the dragon scale feeds on this devastating, tragic, lonesome aura, overtime it changed its embodiment into that of dark, demonic energy, converting the once holy into a devil.
sounds like someone been skipping scenes cause they literally said you can't defy the will of heaven and that…
because obviously, love prevails beyond all. and if theres a will of hope, then theres a way; to find that one tiny sliver chance of breakthrough to defy it and thats what theyre trying to do.
If you can rewind time then just bring everyone back to life. Save us all the trouble. Don't be weird.
sounds like someone been skipping scenes cause they literally said you can't defy the will of heaven and that the long set destiny that has been written cannot be changed.
only 4 months into this year and im already settled for life. COUPLE OF THE YEAR AND LIFETIME GOES TO JI LING & LU WU YI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
some people still doubts Ji Ling's love for Wuyi.... did we forget he literally yelled out he will marry her at the verge of death! That is like the most sweetest romantic desperate outburst revelation ever anyone can say when theyre in the most devastating state, in the most risky time, just full out confessing his kept feelings in fear of not making it out and losing her..
idk about yall but if someone said that to me at the most critical uncertainty time of surviving, I will follow and wholeheartedly give that person my whole heart!!!!
As I think about it more one may think puppet Ji Ling is a puppet, but tbh, I could never come to terms to him…
it can be unsettling when you think of them as having two personalities so its hard to accept that they can feel like 2 different people, and that the person Wuyi fell in love with isnt the Ji Ling now
but maybe you can think of it as this way for example, where puppet jiling was a high school lover you once fell in love with but then you fell apart and time past by now you meet again 10 years later, and the dragon deity Ji Ling is the more mature grown up version of the past boy you used to love. those time apart has made it feel alittle unfamiliar, hes changed, feels like a whole new person, because its been so long you havent seen each other but as time goes on, you still feel and see the high school boy version in him because of your strong lingering memories and experiences from the past with him so somewhat you still feel familiar towards him you just have to think youre with him during 2 different time phases of his life, but the familiarity is still there because the Ji Ling now still holds the memories and his past side he once was within himself that shaped who he is today
Does Ji Ling really love Lu Wuyi? He seems so fake. IMO
some love is shown through silent gentle tenderness and some are shown upfront all over your face, and you know what, its ok. It is up to the person who receives the affection to decide for themselves if thats the kind or which kind of love they want and like. You may not feel/see it since you probably prefer something more telling but maybe Wuyi can feel his sincerity and it already means the whole world for her even if there are claims Ji Ling isnt doing enough.
His behavior and personality seem very sus to me. I don’t think that’s LJ...
i know...the directing of their scenes together already kinda showing hints but i dont want to think the worst... 😭😭 i cantttttt pls just let it be the director just wanna play with our minds and hearts but hes actually still his big lil lijieee...
well, if Lijie turns out to be his imposter twin faking his memories, saying all these meaningful deep words and just pretending to be him just to also betray Ji Ling's trust later on, I dont think I can handle it and Im gonna turn the world upside down.... I don't need any more heartbreaks for this already poor sorrowful little broken fox... thats the last straw imma see to it!!!!
