So I saw a lot of comments elsewhere saying how fans are complaining about this drama. And at that time I didn't…
Yes, the saving grace for me about Li Yifeng is rather similar to yours - I like his strong, evilish style, especially when he descends from the sky unannounced, that's when I know the day is saved with his arrival :D
After watching to the end, I think that the mermaids are doom if ever there's a war against the mermaid again…
You brought up the temple scene etc, I can't help but comment about Su Mo's interchangeable white and black hair. One moment his hair is white, another it's black again. It's so random that I was laughing my head off XD XD XD.
The ending of this drama was horrible and it was so rushed but I finally found out the reason for it, originally…
It's such a pity that they've cut all the wrong places. They should have joined between the scenes better, cut the gaps between conversations, and all those long do nothing moments. If they have done their editing properly from the beginning, they could have easily trimmed the drama down to 40 episodes without sacrificing the important scenes for the ending.
Yes, the news of ML's death is in the last 3 minutes of the last episode. The angry mob is about the bad company that is trying to buy up Mayang Street and cheats the people. ML works in that bad company as a police undercover. His cover is blown and he's killed. The wedding scene is the wedding of their close friends. About 6 minutes before the end that says year 2000, it shows the FL and SML married with a child, and a police officer knocks on the door and gives FL a police officer's uniform and hat, that's when they find out that ML was an officer and is dead. Then the end of the drama.
FL and SML and everyone else found out that he's an undercover police many years later after he had died. The police kept this news for many years so no one knew what had happened to him. Everyone thought he was a bad dude and no one really cared where he had gone. Though sad, this is supposed to be a true story as according to the SML.
The villian YL is written as strong as LY so i cant complaint on that. Sometimes stupid villian is just so boring…
Yes, I love this villain YL too. I like very strong, vile and nasty villain, so in the end when the villain perishes, we get a sigh of relief and feel that justice is being served. I don't like, at times, they redeem the villains and make them repent and become good. That would become so boring. I hope YL perishes in the end, still mean and nasty, and unremorseful :D
Do they explain to QY why they all dismissed the mother’s case so easily?
They don't need to explain anything because for ancient Chinese, one mustn't question nor accuse one's elderly, no matter what. She would just have to accept whatever reasons she's being told. That's why she was punished by having to recite the filial piety creed for 1000 times.
I wish QY would grow some real smarts and not blurt out her suspicions before proving them..
Qiu Yan has good reasons for her suspicion because she caught the doctor and his daughter and they confessed; she just didn't realize there are multiple layers into the murder, and this also has caught Liang Yi off footed.
