But both endings are happy endings though? The 1st one is a longer version where they show XiXuan & YaoYao met…
Yes, I did cry too since they took so long for their happy ending. I was really afraid its gonna end tragically so I was in tears too -- glad it wasnt.
Exactly his look gives a combined vibe of lu yan and autumn cicada character 😄and today is the opening ceremony…
Yes, his hair for the new drama is glorious. I'm excited as he always look extra good in republic dramas -- the fashion during that era is definitely the best.
I'm also excited since so far, all his republican dramas managed to become hits so I expect this will be another one to add on his list.
I'm just so happy that RJL decided to take this project. I've been wanting him to take another republican dramas like Autumn Cicada for years and he finally did it again. And this certainly makes me pumped up since its with an award winning director and the writer behind Day & Night so I expect it will be another great script to add for his dramas (hopefully! lol).
Words cant explain that this is certainly want I want him to take as next step in his career. Everything is looking great after he left Huanrui last year and I couldn't be happier. :D
But I read some where that this novel have 2 endings? Or they rewrite it or something is this true ?
Yeah, I figures that too. They like to make controversial endings so that it will improve their traffic since people will discuss more about it. They dont care even if its bad reception as long as people discussed and the traffic for the drama increased so they can show to the investors; 'See, the drama is popular. The traffic is high and people talks about it' even it sacrifice the integrity of the story.

Yeah, I cant stand it either. :(
BTW, do you know why they always did these open and sad endings? Isnt it make the fans rage when they did that? I remember The Double got a dive in their Douban ratings after the leak of the sad ending. A Journey to You as went when from 7.5 to 6.4 after the ending. And Tender Light as well got a rage from viewers that they have to change the ending for the TV version. Same with all the bad endings like A Beautiful Lie which drove viewers mad after the airing of the ending. Any idea why they think people like these sad and open ending?

I agree. I dont like it either. Thats why the novel's ending makes me shudder since I dont think it will be that dramatic. Because Xiao Huan will never allow her to do so if he could -- he would want her to live on and live happily for the rest of her life.
But like you said, she has her own perspective. The 'freedom' view is certainly makes sense. Also, she may not view it as an ending but a start. As in, she will follow him in death so she can meet him faster in their next life. That kind of love, we probably will never able to understand but it makes the drama even more interesting to me now, without a doubt.
This ending is different than in One & Only where Shiyi committed suicide since she cant live in the world where she is hopeless and there is nothing she can do to clear Zhousheng Chen's name -- that kind of hopelessness, injustice is just unbearable for her to keep on living. Or like Peng Xiaoran's ending in Goodbye My Princess where she chose to end her life for peace and also because death seemed like the only relief for her in that life.
I really hope they didnt do the same in the drama. Just ends with them happily with 5 children -- we always prefer this clear cut happy endings than a ~poetic~ ones that all these Cdramas like to do. But just to be clear, both One & Only and Goodbye My Princess' endings are good ones despite it being sad. For me, if you want to go for sad endings, you need to properly write it like this 2 dramas.

What a dramatic ending. It made me shudder. But it shown the kind of love they had for each other so I had my expectation even more for this drama. But man, what an ending. 😬
The OST for this drama by Dear Cloud is one of the best K-OSTs in my book. This is because the lyrics is the pivotal point that served as a plot twist in the drama. They kept playing this song when the drama started and for the life of me, I couldn't understand what the lyrics meant and whom it directed to until the revelation. Then, every words in the lyrics made complete sense. Its beyond brilliant! :D
That all sounds great, but did she even like him? From your words, it seems he was the only one showing her affection.
Sorry if my comment portrayed it that way. They both give and take in the relationship equally. She loves him very much. She basically wear her feelings on sleeve thus it is shown all over her face and action how much she loves him. While his love is more on the silent type. Thats why I wrote it in my comment or some people just gloss over it since it very subtle and hidden.
What I love about this drama is the leads' relationship is so awesome and wholesome and they face the adversities together from start till the end and they never waver no matter how big is the challenge. The unbreakable trust and devotion they had with each other is very comforting -- you know no matter what happen, this is one constant thing thats never going to change, which is their love and trust towards each other.
Usually when watching other dramas, we just wait for the angst parts to come with some dumb miscommunication or noble idiocy troupes but with Zhousheng Chen and Shiyi, you know its never gonna happen knowing their personalities and maturity. Thats the soothing and comforting parts despite there is sad parts in the drama. The trouble that they faced is from the outside and not inside -- this is parts of the reason why I really love this drama. Same with One & Only tbh, the challenges they faced are always external and thats the most amazing thing about their relationship.
