By the way, can someone please summarize for me the policy and censorship of the TV series in China? Because I can never understand and I am very confused.
1- As far as I know, they are very holder, 40 chapter border etc. came. It used to be 60 ep. 2- In the past, there could be reincarnation, but now it can't. (as far as i heard ) 3- Are there any restrictions on the duration of the episodes? 4- Why do they cut some scenes from the TV series and what style are the cut scenes?
There are things that confuse me, bla bla, and so on. For this reason, I cannot understand under what conditions a series is censored or cut.
Last 10 episodes. And it will never be enough. I wish I was willing to wait even a few months for part 2 for the immortal arc. Because in the novel, the mortal arc is 76 chapters, the immortal arc is 68 chapters. But the number of episodes in the series was not evenly distributed. And I think there are plenty of scenes in the immortal arc that shouldn't be interrupted, affecting the storyline. I don't know but I'm worried.
The book has English translations. However, they are not very good. It is a little more understandable when read…
But I must warn you, the novel is too dark. It makes me sad inside while reading it. You will understand the evil of TTJ very clearly in the novel. Don't expect a loving environment like in the series.
Yeap, I totally didn’t like the novel… at all. Also found the whole bit with him and YBC superb turn-off,…
We are evaluating the character of the series, not the actor. The subject is independent of the actor. I think the actors shine. I enjoy watching both.
If you make TTJ darker this will not pass censorship. Many C critics said the producer is very brave and experimental…
Yes that is right. Bad family problems. :D
I understand those who are not willing to read the book. Hard story to read. And since it does not have a proper translation, it makes it very difficult for those who want to read well. (finding the original text and translating some parts one by one ..etc) But I still don't regret reading it.

I don't know. But it saddens me that some people consider so much torture and evil as love. Is it love to endure bullying? I don't know, but I don't want to take love to the dimension of obsession. It feels like tarnishing that pure, beautiful and happy notion of 'love'. I don't like women being bullied, especially when they're bullied by their loved ones.

Absolutely. Even after seeing that massacre, he was merciful to her from the very first meeting. He always lived with the thought that he could change. But every time he thought about it, TTJ flashed tantrums, reminding him of the Devil god. But each time YXW gave him a chance again and again. He sacrificed too much. Yes, maybe not completely in love. Which is very normal, after witnessing all the chaos, destruction and evil, she couldn't suddenly surrender herself to love. But he was still kind and loving towards her. TTJ love developed over time, yes, but it was an addictive love. He was too obsessed to let her die. Sorry but, that's not what love is.

Yes, as far as I understand the censorship rules are strict. And I'm grateful they didn't write such a dark TTJ as in that book. But as I said, everyone is overloading YXW. Even if I speak independently of the book, even though he loved TTJ YXW in the show, he was vindictive and retaliated at the slightest anger. So even if we think independently of the book, TTJ's love was sadistically obsessed.
I can't stand another unhappy ending after One and Only. I just want HE, not even open end. They deserve to be…
You mean Forever and Ever. Yes, I know what they thought of as a past life, but the impact was huge. And the pain they went through in that past life and that last one hurt me. I considered it as two separate series myself.
As I always say, I am pleased that the series has been softened compared to the novel. But while they were doing this, they softened him too much as he was the darkest TTJ in the novel. YXW, on the other hand, has been softened a bit, but it has remained harder because it is the same according to the TTJ. This undermines this element a bit: most people who haven't read the book now see YXW as bad, ruthless, heartless. However, in the book, there were a lot of things that destroyed him until that tower scene, he went through a lot. In fact, everyone, including YXW, thought that he loved YBC, since TTJ was not as outspoken about his love in the novel as in the series. YXW went blind, emaciated beyond recognition, and gave YBC the only treatment that could save her. We can't understand the fragility of YXW as they cut these parts in the drama. More scenes like this and more. Yes, YXW came for a mission, but he loved and worked hard despite it. He saw the man who murdered his entire family, sect and 3 realms and he was in the form of TTJ. How could you forget this? Also in the book, what he experienced in the mortal arc was so terrible that it left permanent spiritual scars on him. Even while in the immortal arc, he was afraid of the dark because of the time he spent in the dungeon blinded. That's why I don't consider YXW cruel. The reason her role looks so brutal is because of the scenes in the book that were removed from the show.
Yeap, it was the same in the novel. It was actually even more obvious in the novel. But there is a fine line between…
I agree. But even JZ saying that there will always be disasters in their destinies was hurtful for me. If they stayed together, the disasters would not change. It was a difficult choice. And he didn't even know that he would live again. But I think this too. When he gave TTJ his eye, he knew that the jade would not kill him, but it would bring many disasters. Yes, he wanted to save her so that the devil would not be a god. But at the same time, he did not want to put the burden of this curse on her, as he had always faced disasters from his childhood. I don't know from my point of view, consciously or unconsciously YXW has sacrifices.
I think a lot of us (even I was if I'm honest) are being way too harsh on YXW for the way she treats TTJ, but…
Absolutely I agree. I do not approve of some of the actions and decisions of YXW. But I can't call him completely cruel or heartless. Because I understand the reason behind what you did. Come on! All the sect members, their families were slaughtered in front of their eyes by the man with the same appearance. He couldn't forget this image. And although TTJ seems to have changed, some of his actions reminded YXW of those times. And with the evil bone in him, it was a big gamble. He had to save the entire realm.
Yeap, it was the same in the novel. It was actually even more obvious in the novel. But there is a fine line between…
True. It would be wrong to say completely in love. But it's also wrong to say that he doesn't feel anything at all. Because of the responsibility of his mission and his recollection of TTJ's behavior when the devil was a god, he never completely immersed himself in this feeling. But YXW's jealousy was not simply jealousy inherent in human nature. Although she couldn't admit it, she started to have feelings for TTJ and she didn't like it because she had murdered her entire loyalty. But on the other hand, TTJ wasn't him. I think they portrayed this confusion of emotions very well. She didn't fall for love, but she couldn't escape her feelings either.

I read it a long time ago, so I can't remember exactly from which site I read it. But you can take a look at these two.
