Finally a refreshing, thought-provoking show that respects its adult audience (ML is not a goody two shoes/FL…
Very well put. It indeed is a thought provoking show. Nothing was ever and black and white here and one needs to put themselves in each and every characters shoes to understand their actions.
THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SAY.THE ENDING SHOULD BE INTERPRETED BY THE VIEWER ITSELF.For me it was a happy open…
Yes it definitely is an open to interpretation ending. I understand people's sentiments but I also feel it's unfair to just label it as a BE. There is a bigger message here.
As I said earlier, I LOVED the finale. Yes it was bittersweet, yes it was painful but it was also BEAUTIFUL and POIGNANT. I thought I would be really sad and angry watching the finale but surprisingly, though I was sad, I wasn’t angry. I understood why they did, what they did. I understood TTJ’s sacrifice. TTJ loved LSS, but he also loved the world. LSS loved TTJ, but she also loved world. In the end, their love for all beings was greater than their love for each other. Their love was selfless.
I don’t think TTJ is gone forever, because I think it was only LSS who fully turned into a goddess. Even her phoenix form appeared when she transformed. TTJ became godlike but I don’t think he fully transformed into a god. So there is a chance he would still come back. LSS also promised she would say everything she wanted to say next time. He did leave his divine wisp in the shell, so he isn’t fully gone. And if he didn’t fully transform into a god, he can reincarnate.
And even if he did become god; I still don’t think he disappeared completely. Although they did say earlier they gods didn’t have souls, when LSS transformed, she did meet Chu Huang and others in another realm outside of the three realms. So there is a place like that where the gods still exists. Who is to say, TJJ won’t find a way to come back? Or LSS won’t find a way to reach that realm?
Another thing that really struck me is the inscriptions; YXW, beloved wife of TJJ and TJJ, the loving husband of LSS. TJJ was the LOVER and LSS was the BELOVED.
LYX and BL are truly legends who brought these characters to life. We already knew about the tombstone scene from before but during their farewell scene there was one part when I felt LYX and BL were truly crying and it wasn’t just acting. That’s how immersed they were in their characters.
Yes, the drama wasn’t flawless. It had some editing and technical issues. They had to cut down on episodes. But the team put their hearts and souls and it shows. This is an UNFORGETTABLE drama. I still would prefer an epilogue instead of just a voiceover by LYX and BL. They could have easily given us one and I don't understand why they didn't film an epilogue. I would also like to know what happened to YQY. Did Pian Ran come back? But still as a finale epi, it was grand and epic.
TTEOTM team, please take a bow.
Yesterday, I before watching the finale I was upset and said that wanted to give it a 100/10 but could only give a 10. I take my words back and I still give it a hundred on a personal scale.
I am sorry, but I think those who rated this drama low or gave it a 1 star didn’t understand the show at all. Not the dramas fault.
And yes, I would be rewatching it. I am ALREADY rewatching it.
Ok guys I finally had the courage to watch the finale very early in the morning and honestly I loved it. Yes it was bittersweet. Yes I still wish there was an epilogue but regardless of everything, it was beautiful. I am giving it a 10/10. I'll share my further thoughts in details later. But I really hope the rating goes up. This drama, the cast deserve it!!
scarlet heart is a much more smooth storyline than this drama though.....and they didn't soften the ML the way…
Scarlet heart had the freedom in the sense that it was a kdrama ( though the original is a cdrama which I haven't watched). But the fact that actually filmed a different ending but never aired it made it heartbreaking. I don't know if you know but it was IU I think who later revealed a pic, though it was already known.
