am i the only one who isn't satisfied with the ending.. it's been days but i still want some explanation. a special ep would be enough 😔🙏

bai xuelu/qing gang and bai xueying/shi yu

I just started this but can anyone spoil if this has a happy ending?

he only has one drama left to air 🥹

she becomes a nice character in the last episodes

I'm done with the drama... what a good ride this has been!! the ending was unsatisfying but i did enjoy watching anyway :) fellow xz fans see you in sunshine by my side 😊

im at ep 39 right now and im happy ayuan is back alive!! would have been such a bummer if otherwise. he's also learned to trust shi ying now 😊

true, SY has given zhi yuan the benefit of doubt for many times already. he was already being generous of him

it wasn't that SY think zhi yuan is bad, he just distrusts him because after all, he thinks zhi yuan is the sea emperor - the revered leader of the merfolk clan who has been planning an uprising for years. he would naturally be skeptical of him. and that piled up with the misunderstandings that occurred in the later eps and the imperial edict given by the emperor for shi ying to kill zhi yuan, he really had no other choice.

i also think zhu yan being so protective of zhi yuan was too much though, but i guess she loved him a lot as a friend and she didn't want to lose him, even to the extent of willing to be labeled as traitor of Kongsang. for the record, zhu yan ACTUALLY did try to explain to shi ying that zhi yuan has no intentions to continue the war but he never gave her the time and was just hellbent on killing him

im also watching this without knowing anything about the novel so i could only offer what the drama has shown me and my views may be different to those who have read it. but i hope this alleviates some of your confusion

ep 38 spoilers

cried so badly over da siming's death. shi ying's sole parent figure has already left him. but i'm assured at the fact that at least, DSM got to clear SY and his mother's names, put SY back on the throne as crown prince, and watched him pass the tribulations of hell. his death wasn't in vain. he got to do what he's always wanted and waited for 10+ years. i'm gonna miss this character a lot

zhu yan has literally known zhi yuan since she was young and we can see they have a really close bond. on the other hand, she only got to know shi ying when she was 15 (meeting him as the crown prince doesn't count bc she didnt know until later). also, shi ying has repeatedly and purposely been sowing discord between them, wanting to cut contact with her so what was zhu yan supposed to do? blindly trust him still? she isn't that stupid.

i do also get frustrated with her sometimes but if you see it from her perspective, you would understand

the ending is open for interpretation so it will depend on how you interpret it

finished ep 37... shi ying finally realized that yan-er loves him back 😩 he'll still undergo through the tribulations of hell after all...not another suffering for him 🥲

the untamed is also xianxia like the longest promise, but the world building is more complex. where dreams begin was good too, xz's best drama after TU in my opinion. you should still try :)

also take your time catching a break, this drama will really drain you 🥲

i noticed the awful transitions too 😅 maybe it has something to do with having to make lots of cuts as this was filmed before the 40 ep limitation on cdramas was imposed

i suggest you try The Untamed, it was xz's breakout role :)

true, his acting made me stay. would be a waste not to finish this drama when he put so much effort to it with his amazing performance

indeed, he studied this character really well. can't be any more grateful for that

ep 36 was too much for my feeble heart... getting to watch shi ying being back to his child-like innocence was pretty heartwrenching 💔 he gets amazed so easily, is a chatterbox, a little clumsy, and yawns like a child... so opposite to the shi ying we've watched for 35 eps. the could have beens had nothing tragic happened to him 😔

i still have 5 eps left but this drama has been great so far. give it a try
