Me too! I really enjoy watching Ningan and Hongye interactions. It's nice to see how Hongye and Ningan is less…
It’s striking how different HY feels across the two timelines. In the past, he’s confident and self-assured, almost arrogant at times, forward in his affections and openly competitive. In the present, that certainty is gone. He’s more hesitant, more melancholic, and quietly unsure, as if every choice now carries the weight of what he’s already lost.
Another brilliant clue!! When HY went to the noodle resturant to eat shrimp eel noodle, he first ordered red noodle soup!!
HY ordering red noodle soup first tells us something crucial: his “default” for noodles was permanently altered by NA. She drowned everything in chili, he accepted it as normal, and that version of “normal” stayed with him for a century. That’s not taste adaptation, that’s love imprinting.
The PLUMS!! When NA and HY went to the nightmarket, NA told HY that the dried plums were her fave and fed it to HY. The first food that Dali and Luoluo gave to XY when she first arrived in Demon Valley for the dried plums. He remember all of her likes and dislikes, all the things they've said and done, and he's said the same thing he said to NA to XY. He's not the kind to open up bc he's a demon lord, he has many responsibilities and guard his heart.
I'm sure he knew XY was NA, vice versa, but that XY just didn't have her memories of NA. Even if it's reincarnated person, XY would have her own habits, likes and dislikes. But since HY prepped food and said everything the same, just means he already knew. It just wasn't the right time to reveal to XY.
It's typical to end sad, but ss always has happy ending. I have yet to see a sad ending for her dramas. Even in…
Yea, i was thinking of UTP how the ending was so sad, and they eventually let him out after 3 years and JX waited for those years. I was looking everywhere for the audio book or Chinese novel that showe the bonus chapters. I read breifly of their marriage life and when she was pregnant.
The kisses in XY are sweet, pure, gentle etc, but sometimes I do want a bit more lip movement like in ABAY. So I'm hoping the Orchid (Against the Current) that the kisses won't disappoint. I think LXY is a decent kisser, plus they should follow the novel. He's not a damn virgin since his courtyard is full of concubines. I don't want shy ml, I want dominant, take charge type in Orchid.
I'm just assuming with ss' track record of HE. Don't hate me if I'm wrong haha.
I love watching BZ, but it's really nice to just have these recent eps focus just on the leads. I've heard ppl complained that hmh/HY was barely in those earlier scenes. Which i def agree, but I believe it's to build up the plot for later on. This pianpian will actually be the final antagonist. Compared to the fallen goddess, pianpian is human, so her will and heart is weaker than the once goddess. Hence she becomes evil quick. All those brocade demon hunters have now turned demons themselves. The irony in this.
Tmr's ep 30 I will need a cold wet towel to cool my swollen eyes. The drama first showed how HY died by betrayal of NA and the demon hunters' trap. However, I didn't really feel much of it bc I thought "oh wow, they really wasted that scene so quicky with no eotional build up". I felt bad for HY, but I wasn't crying, now I know what they did it. Watching this from XY/NA's pov will shatter my heart.
It's typical to end sad, but ss always has happy ending. I have yet to see a sad ending for her dramas. Even in her already filmed project, Against the Current, with Liuxueyi, he's known for having BE, like dieing or his fl dies. His fans were saying finally a HE for him, bc he has children with ss' character. So if ss can break lxy's BE cycle, I'm sure XY will have HE. I pray haha.
XY as Ningan asked HY in the past if there are pig and flower demon. Then look what happened, the first time XY…
XY as NA has been saying a lot of weird stuff that made past HY arch his brows and second guess if he heard right. She kept saying stuff in past tense like she's experienced or been there. HY is no fool, he's just playing along with XY/NA. I think he said he likes XY and not bc she's possibly reincarnation of NA to make her believe him. The more a person explains the more they have something to hide. Plus, I believe the present HY already knew XY was NA, but bc Xy doesn't have memories of the past as NA, he didn't want to confuse her and cause her to disbelieve his confession.
From his POV, he loved once, opened his heart once, and was betrayed. by NA. For a few-thousand-year-old demon lord to say essentially the same words again, with the same emotional depth, so soon? Doesn't make sense . During the confession on the cliff on ep 29, he said he like her for her (her integrity, her values and kindess aka her soul), and that her name, identity, status, human or demon didn't matter.
Most importantly, tmr's eps, when XY timetravels back to the present, she exclaims she's NA, so we will see what HY says. If he said it was always her or something along those lines then it's confirmed he knew all along.
Someone mentioned that HY might not want XY to experience the pain of killing him, knowing she also killed herself…
Ok, I finished. I'm not 100% sure bc I can't trust that lieing two faced so called father of a king. He could just be making shit up to get the mirror. This still doesn't explain XY's half human/demon identity though
These things are highly subjective, but I actually like TSY's voice. I am not only unbothered by it, but pretty…
when she was bantering the the cat demon, the part where she introduced herself as a snake demon and hiding behind HY. I liked her voice, it was so cute and each word she said was of different expression and tone!
Why am I crying when XY/NA went to Demon Valley and said all those words to the teacher, and then him looking at her. Makes me so emotional. Now, I'm thinking if that teacher knows something as well, I'm prob overthinking.
