Unforgivable Character Assassination and a Villainous Betrayal!!!
The trailer was the first thing that captivated me, promising a great and exciting story. However, my interest faded around episodes 5 to 9, where it felt like the story went in an unnecessary direction. It picked back up around episodes 10 to 25, which I enjoyed the most, but then episodes 26–28 felt like pure filler just to hit a 40-episode count.
I wanted to give it a second chance because of the leads' great chemistry and the beautiful cinematography, so I tried to be patient. Many MDL-ers dropped this drama much earlier, but I wanted to stay on and believe that the story would continue to be good. Unfortunately, Episode 34 was like the final warning, as the events of the story started to make no sense.
In the end, the trailer felt like a trap that betrayed the viewers, who deserved a story as great as the one we were promised.
⚠️ FINAL VERDICT: Dropping "Love Beyond the Grave" after Episode 34 ⚠️
😤 I regret wasting my time. I spent over two weeks on a drama that started so strong and promising, only to watch it collapse into a poorly written mess. It feels like a completely different screenwriter took over at Episode 32 and ruined everything!
What happened?!
The "revelations" in Episode 34 were the final straw. The story has been going downhill since Episode 32, specifically regarding the horrific, monstrous true self of Yan Ke, which was hidden under his mask as the "loyal right hand."
😤 It’s not just that Yan Ke’s evil—we knew his nature—BUT finding out he was the murderer of Si Mu’s father all along? That is too much to bear. He managed the Void Realm’s affairs for centuries, deceiving her for hundreds of years just to steal the Sovereign seat, under the pretext of helping her reach and maintain that position. He was literally mocking and fooling her while she trusted him with her life and realm.
😤 The character assassination of Si Mu is unforgivable. Instead of being powerful and wise, the screenwriter destroyed her. Watching her "punish herself" because of the Golden Wall Decree—acting like a weak martyr just to "set an example"—was entirely illogical. Why would she listen to Yan Ke’s opinion that she should be punished, when he is just a lowly, betraying spirit taking advantage of her?!
She brought nothing but misery and pain upon herself. After five years of living in a weak status under his control, she left the Void Realm in a total mess.
😤Episode 34 really showed Yan Ke's true colors. Seeing him sitting shamelessly in Si Mu’s place after everything he’s done? Pure villainy. He traded centuries of 'loyalty' for a stolen throne, and I’m officially done with his character and this writing. 😤 Though he was expelled from the realm after Si Mu recuperated her power, I still couldn't support to see this scene!
😤 The reunion was the breaking point. Si Mu left Duan Xu for five years with zero contact, only to return once she got her power back. And what does he do? He just rushes to hug her like nothing happened! Where is the frustration? Where is the realistic emotion? Everything from Episode 32 to 34 has gotten on my nerves and made me regret every second I invested.
😤 I even regret saying I liked Miles Wei’s acting. Is it his fault? Not exactly, but the character is so repulsive now that I need time to heal from this disappointment before I can watch him on screen again!
Verdict: DROPPED. 🛑
