As expected from a Ren Jia Lun drama, the ending is not a happy ever after. I may be in the minority but I actually like the ending and it just makes sense. At the very least, I’m glad they didn’t kill a character just for the purpose of drama. The drama gives you enough time for closure with two final episodes focusing on tying up loose ends, a farewell meal and walk, and finally a goodbye.
Right from the start, Ban Xia rewrote fate by accidentally entering the Wuyou realm and accidentally pulling Xuan Ye out to the mortal world. Ban Xia was never meant to enter the Wuyou realm nor was Xuan Ye meant to exit from there too. The change in fate initiated a chain of cause and effect which led to the deaths of many key characters.
In the end, The Changle sword fixes fate by undoing a tragic chain of events, but it erases Xuan Ye. Still, a hidden backup of memories gives Banxia a chance to remember what was lost. They can’t easily be together right now, but the ending hints they might find a way in the future. It’s not a fully happy ending yet, but it’s hopeful.
Watching episode 16 makes me think I hope y Wu Wu couple survives till the end. Starting to think that the “dragon will fall” prophecy is meant for Shi Guang 😭
Enlighten me please 🥹 I have put Princess Agents on hold for a long time (even considered dropping). Will it be jumpy if I start watching this before finishing PA? Or is it better I finish PA first?
The world’s too cruel to him. He deserves better 😭
You know I honestly thought that he was involved in the incident. To my surprise, he was never involved in any of it and died doing a good noble deed. He was a good person from the start. I felt speechless and rather empty when his end was revealed.
