lol I predicted it would be like 7.7/10 or nearly 8/10. But I guess the terrible illogical ending made the ratings dived further down to 7.3/10. They should have shown the initial ratings the drama got before the ending. So, we can see how it impacted the drama. I remember when A Journey to Love first airing, their Douban rating is 7.5/10 but falls to 6.4/10 now after the ending. 💀

That's so sweet of you. I actually had a writer block when I'm trying to write this review yesterday. So your kind words really made my day. 🤗❤️

I made my own ending and I'm at peace with it. :D

Exactly. They really behave out of characters, I dont know how to say it but its awful. Why would she literally say she will follow him everywhere only not to do it. It seemed like the ending is written by someone else -- not the same writer who actually has a vision and has set up her vision since the beginning of her drama. How could you write a 2 episodes that delved on how everything works out in that timeline due to cause-effect sword that Xuanye used. Then showing us how their love defy all those things. They made him remember since he's small (how cruel!), then they made her remember (how cruel as well), they made the old man said to Banxia 'GO GET YOUR MAN!!' and then give us that ending. lol

If this not awful writing, I dont know what else could top this.

I take pride for all tragic endings for all RJL's dramas (Tang Dynasty, Autumn Cicada, One & Only and Love of Nirvana) since they are always very well written and make sense. But this one, zero sense. I cant even cry since I'm so mad. 😂

In Thousand Years for You, they actually show he survived at the end and the FL found him. It might not an elaborated happy ending but it shows that they are together at the end.

But this one, takes the cake of a really crappy ending hahaha.

I think Fate Choses You will be a HEA. :D

I agree. I think the ending is just too horrible and didnt make sense and doesnt even follow the overall tone of the drama. So now I'm writing my own ending in my head and I actually feel much better. :D

TBH, being alive but the piece of your heart is missing is not really a good resolution.

But tbh, this is fiction and I will write my own ending in my head lmaooooo, Now I feel much better. 😂😂

As someone who has watched mostly all his dramas, no. He acted 16 dramas as a lead. Only 4 have tragic endings. So, it wasnt that bad as people makes it out to be.

Actually, the last 2 episodes of this drama is really fantastic. It really shows the effect of the Cause-Effect sword and how happy everyone is in that timeline. Xuanye really corrected many things -- including the fate of the lady and the snake guy. It also shows how endured are the leads' love on how their love even survived that ordeal and defy destiny. It is such a fantastic elaboration on the ending, except, when the writer made that decision in the end. Which turned a well written 2 episode ending which is full of silver linings to betray on the overall story and characters' motives.

I hope not. I already worried that since he is forced to take the drama by Huanrui (his previous agency), the script might be not be as good as his usual scripts.

Well, I had hope since the writer is actually capable of writing good stories with intricate details as we can witnessed with this drama.

But then she wrote an ending that betray the audiences... I didnt expect that coming from her at all. I only expect this kind of crappy ending from an inexperience writers... T__T

A simple 10 secs scene show her popping up, looking at him smiling at the Carefree Land would have made the ending good.

As they spent 2 episodes convincing us why their love is so strong that it even can stand destruction and defy destiny. A simple scene to show her popping up there would have make it okay.

I was waiting for that too. Like after the credit, he walks at the Carefree Land, and find her there smiling. No, they dont even want to give us that ending... lol

What really bug me with the ending is how the writer betray her characters and her writing at the end. What was a top-notch writing with intricate details from the beginning being reduced to get cheap tears from the audiences.

I truly truly didnt mind sad ending. A good sad ending that are logical and made sense are my jam. One & Only? One of the best love story ever told. Love of Nirvana? Great things cant be achieved without great sacrifices. Goodbye My Princess? No other fitting ending than what we got in the drama. I live for those heart wrenching pain. But, you have to write a proper good endings for it to be memorable. Not writing it like this where it didnt make sense. Any sense at all.

The writer could have made Xuanye managed to save the Carefree Land problem in those 12 years with all the future knowledge, she didnt. She could make the key to the human world working normally so he can freely travel between the 2 realms but no, she decided to make the key useless and broken. They could make Banxia follows him to that world as she is missing happiness anyway, yet, she didnt again. She could make everyone forgets, NOOOOO, I need to make they remember EVERY DAMN details. Yes, the utmost pain to my characters that apparently didn't suffer enough throughout the whole story. 😃😃😃

The Writer that purposely wrote something tragic just for the sake of tragedy.

Imagine a drama, that has been respecting the audiences' intelligent from Episode 1 but taking us as fools for the conclusion. No words can describe how utterly disappointed I am. 😂

The writer gave us 2 episodes to show why their love is so strong that it even can stand destruction and defy destiny. A simple scene to show her popping up, smiling at him while he is at the land would be suffice. But she doesnt even want to give us that...

He cant even do that in the end since the writer made the key ~broken~ conveniently. To further emphasis why he cant no longer travel between the 2 realm. She adamant to make it a sad ending. Betray the audiences and betray her own writing. lol

Yeah, I dont understand how can someone greenlighted this ending. It betray the whole message of the drama. Which is so weird when the writing has been top notch for the 36 episodes.

The fact that the writer betray the audiences is what I cant with the ending. Imagine selling this one theme throughout the story, then betray it for the ending. It is a crappy writing. I cant even defend it lol

It so out of character for her not to follow him.

It really out of character. She is written as someone who we can predict her moves and actions. Thus, we know she supposed to follow him to that land. Yet, she didnt. Thats why I wrote that the writer betray only only the story, but the characters as well.

The writer could have made Xuanye managed to save the Carefree Land problem in those 12 years with all future knowledge, she didnt. She could make him the key to the human world working normally, but she decided to make the key useless. They could make her follow him to that world as she is missing happiness anyway, yet, she didnt again. She could make everyone didnt remember, no, I need to make they remember EVERY DAMN details.

Writer that purposely wrote something tragic just for the sake of tragedy. Utterly disappointed.

It really could been an epic love story. Like you, I was crying like a fountain during the whole 2 episodes since why on earth they made him remember? Then they made her remember? Why they made everything so heart wrenching? I'm losing my mind tbh. And gave us that ending.

I didnt cry for the ending at all. That was a crappy ending. It did not deserved one bit of tears from me.

I cant believe a writer, that actually surprised me all the way through 36 freaking episodes, actually take me like a fool for that ending. SMH

What a crappy ending. I cant even defend or understand it. What is the point of taking 2 extra episodes, showing everything, remembering everything, and to have that ending?

Ren Jialun's dramas, despite have tragic endings (to be fair, the guy is in 16 dramas as a lead, ONLY 4 with sad endings so he is not a Bad Ending Ambassador like people love to spread around), usually make sense and suited the plots and stories. But this one just betray the whole theme, story and the characters itself.

All over the drama, we have have the leads working together and always find solutions to all their problems, together. All over the drama the theme is how human and demon can co-exist together were repeatedly proven and shown. They spent 2 episodes showing how the Black Panther brothers has been trying to save their lands for the past 12 years -- Xuanye with the future knowledge and memories. Then, we got that ending? It didnt make any sense, like any sense. Zero.

Seriously, the whole writing has been like 10/10 from beginning. One of rare dramas where each episode is better than the last. One of the dramas where they put interesting and refreshing situations to give us such an epic stories with many good lessons. One of the dramas with intricate and detail writing that took your breath away. One of the dramas where they trust the audiences' intelligent to understand and make the connection themselves. One of the dramas that actually funny, heartfelt with genuine emotional scenes.

Then, they gave us that ending....

I'm off the watch Forever & Ever to heal. I seriously cant make sense with this ending. If anyone can make me understand the stupidity behind that ending, it is greatly appreciated. I cant believe that they actually stumbled on the landing.

What could be an epic love story how the couple actually survived the test of time and destruction, finding each other again, remembering each other despite all hope is lost, being reduced to that ending. What is the point of all the foreshadowing, silver linings that being scattered throughout the last arcs? Just to play with our feelings?

Imagine a drama, that has been respecting the audiences' intelligent from Episode 1 but taking us as fools for the conclusion. No words can describe how utterly disappointed I am. 😂
