I wish this drama had 40 episodes, but since it only has 33 episodes, I won’t mind special episodes of only SJ and Tingyan just living their lives as a couple. I will miss them so much when this drama ends.
I feel soooooo bad for sima jiao, him standing their just looking at her while she shares drink and memories with…
I had to pause several times cos I teared up in the scene. It was sooo hard to watch. The poor baby looked so hurt. To make matters worse, that annoying feng qi was busy throwing jabs at him, I wanted to throttle him from my screen.
The best part about this amnesia arc is the way the fl figured out the truth for herself. It’s so refreshing the way none of Shi Qianlu’s schemes worked because the fl had common sense. This drama has ruined other xianxia dramas for me.
It’s amazing how a man that had been imprisoned for 500 years can be so emotionally intelligent. The FL (now Shi Yan) even without her memories felt drawn to SJ, but she still wasn’t comfortable because she felt the Liao Tingyan was the body her modern self took control over, and she had no connection to that body. Then, SJ said she shouldn’t worry if she can’t remember, that he would create new memories for them. That was so touching. It’s like he is asking Shi Yan out as her new self, not as a past self she can’t even remember. How could you not fall for that?
Arthur Chen’s acting is really good. For someone who plays the cold, arrogant role well, you would think he will fumble with emotional scenes. But he does that even better. Idk, it’s not like he is loudly crying and wailing or stuff like that but I think his eyes express yearning and hurt well. Just with one tear rolling down his cheek and a small frown on his brow, and he just looks like a really sad cat, and it’s so unbearable to watch him upset.
In case you notice trolls in the comments, just Ignore them. After constituting a nuisance in the comment section, they will leave if they don’t get the attention they want.
“Horrible” actor? Lol. Trolls used to be believable.
Not liking an actor is personal taste, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. But saying the ML in this drama is straight up a “horrible actor” is a troll take, plain and simple. I won’t bother engaging you anymore, so just shoo.
Rewatching episode 17, and the scene where Tingyan is pretending to be Madam Shi, then Nanjiu and one of Madam Shi’s boytoys barges in as SJ and Tingyan are making out in the room is so funny. Between Tingyan trying to play her role, SJ actually acting like her fav lover and Nanjiu smiling sheepishly looking as though he is both embarrassed and happy for them at the same time…the whole scene is just sweet.
Hope drama gods help this drama land the ending, it has so much rewatch value. The romance and chemistry of the main couple is one of the best I’ve ever seen in a cdrama.
Why is Ruling so hell bend on killing our ML when the true cause of her clan's suffering is someone else? Like…
Ruling is a demon disguising as an immortal, and Her family is imprisoned in the Immortal realm due to the war between immortals and demons which took place centuries back. The problem is that they can’t go back to the demon realm because the sima clan set up the immortal-demon barrier. So technically, only when sima Jiao dies would the border come down, since it’s basically his powers keeping it up.
If you would keep watching, you will see that after Sima Jiao used his spirit fire to destroy the Shi clan, there were holes in that immortal-demon barrier, so a lot of demons and immortals crossed over. And it remained that way while sima Jiao was “sleeping” for 18 years. But when he woke up, he sealed it back.
But I agree with you though. I felt Ruling was too short sighted in repeatedly trying to kill SJ and even betraying Tingyan and Nanjiu for that. She could have explored other ways but I guess she felt that she had no choice.
