Unfair & Bad Ending

This is the first time I’ve come across a drama with a bad ending. 1. So many problems are not resolved.2. If the author wants Jayjay and Keifer to end up together, please finish the problem between Jayjay and Yuri’s feelings first (if there will be no season 2). It’s truly unfair for Yuri. From the start he told his true feelings to Jayjay but never get an answer back from her. She left him hanging until the end. Yuri gave Jayjay a lot of time to think about his first confession on the day of the talent show. Then his first proposal in the cafe with the ring and flowers. Then his second confession in front of everyone at school during Christmas party and his last proposal before the engagement at Keifer’s house. He even reassured her that it’s fine if she refuses to accept his feelings. But no answer from Jayjay at all. If Jayjay doesn’t like Yuri in a romantic way, why did she never reply to Yuri’s feelings? She always avoid it. Jayjay has been giving Yuri hope in not replying to his feelings. And on the day of the engagement, Jayjay forced herself to accept Yuri’s proposal. Even though Yuri told her that it’s okay to not accept the engagement, if she doesn’t have any feelings for him. She accepted Yuri’s proposal anyways. And after that Kiefer took Jayjay away in order to tell his true feelings towards her. And Jayjay accepted Keifer’s feelings because that’s what she wanted. While Yuri is out there waiting for her to come back. Jayjay betrayed Yuri’s feelings at this point. Cause Yuri might think Jayjay accepted the engagement because she likes him too. It’s so unfair for Yuri If Jayjay accepted the engagement just because she wants to help her family’s business. She hurt Yuri’s feelings. I haven't read the book so I don't know how the actual story goes. But, judging from the drama version through out the whole episodes, Yuri is a green flag. And I felt that in the last episode, Yuri will still help Jayjay’s family business even if the engagement is cancelled or even before the engagement thing happens. If only Jayjay replied back to Yuri’s feelings truthfully. By Jayjay accepting the engagement and accepting Keifer’s feelings, it’s like a betrayal for Yuri. At this point Jayjay and Keifer is the problem. From what I can see, the person who got hurt the most is Yuri. This is so unfair. Yuri's expression at the end made me cry.- The first person who likes Jayjay is Yuri.- The first person who confessed his feelings to Jajay is Yuri.- Keifer has been playing with Jayjay's feelings to make her confused with her own feelings towards him and Yuri.- Keifer is too late to realize his own feelings towards Jayjay.And you're telling me Keifer is fighting for Jayjay after the engagement has been done? hello? Just now he's fighting? Where is Keifer all this time, when Yuri told Keifer that he likes Jayjay? Keifer didn't have the guts to confess his feelings to Jayjay. All he did was playing with her and making her confused. Whereas Yuri, he didn't hesitate to confess to Jayjay for 4 times. Author, director and script writer….I hope this is not the ending and there will be season 2 because you're leaving me with so many questions unanswered. I waited for 2 weeks and this is what I get?

Love and obsession

The mirror demon was very surprised at BanXia’s courage. She was ready to try to defeat him. Fortunately XuanYe got to her in time and battled the demon. He just about completed the battle when our favorite constable shows up thinking he is helping. The demon escapes via the sword reflection and the constable is left to ponder his opinions on some supernatural matters. His assist has just created an even larger problem and now the whole village has to be monitored rather than just BanXia. 🙄 The result of this sword caused XuanYe to fall in a deep sleep. But not before he ties her to him and gives her a sharp object to wake him. Three days later he panics that she is cut loose, but she is safe and hiding inside. She asks him to mark her hand again since they both know the seal works. This episode gives a lot of the history between dancer and demon. The demon has loved and killed for her 20 years that we know of. I almost feel sorry for him til his revenge on her lover. That was very cruel to both of them. He then starts to reveal more implying that they have been together much longer than the 20 years she knows about. The constable tries to make up for his mistake by getting all pears impounded. He is still trying to process what he saw and keeps looking at his sword for answers. BanXia sees a scar on XuanYe’s shoulder while he is sleeping. She is reminded of an incident as a child that resulted in her ability to see demons. It is cute that she tries to see his shadow and figure out what he really is. She knows he is more, but not sure what. It seems these two might be fated and just starting to realize it. I don’t think fate is going to be kind to the other pair. The only good thing is the constable saw with his own eyes something else responsible for the murders and why XuanYe is always around at same time.

The best laid plans….

While it seemed a good idea for BanXia to call the demon via the mirror….they did not make any backup plan in the event the demon wasn’t terminated. Here is where I want to slap XuanYe on the back of the head for not considering his possible failure. He should have had a better backup plan to keep BanXia safe. To his credit the symbol he put on her hand did rescue her so that is a huge plus. But that know it all constable has him at the station and rain is washing away his barrier. This is the first time I have seen BanXia terrified. She was really shook when she met the demon alone and showered with pears. It gave me satisfaction to watch him get blasted for forcing that pear on her. But now she is again alone with the demon. She has moxie in calling him out tho not sure how much that pole is going to help her.

the whole scene with Teacher Jan was surreal,…

the whole scene with Teacher Jan was surreal, Sung is right some kids might feel bad, but the delinquent's will find it funny & i am 99% sure, that if it was Ken & the twins standing there, they would happily comply. but agree with her, that the teachers r at fault, at fault for always looking the other way, ignoring bullying, trying to pin it on the weak, while ignoring the true culprits, focusing on the good student's or worse those that come from rich backgrounds.... ***********************************************the scene in the principle's office, where they were passing blame was a great example, they have ignored this situation for over a decade & now want a quite fix, as if Jan & Sung r miracle workers. but there some good teachers so all is not lost. ************************************************************************************************************************************************about the Prang girl from Class 3, i get her not confiding in Sung & Jan cause she already told her homeroom teacher & it amounted to more bullying. but Class 2 students, the sec they found out should've turned to their teachers, Chatjen was right. as is that principle & the older teachers keep blaming Class 2 for everything, constantly looking for a reason to get rid of students that r in it.. this a bad move! am sure Chatjen called Saint, but that just means he will get in trouble like Shin & his crew. as we have seen until now no matter who starts the trouble everyone gets reprimanded & punished.

Mother / daughter pears

After the dancer collapses there is another female body that changes from young and beautiful to ancient and mummified. This has the one officer convinced the other body must be the missing Madame Zhang. One policeman wants XuanYe to help and the higher ranking constable does not. XuanYe was talked into examining the body and sends Rabbit to get it. He sees BanXia and thinks she is following him. He tricks her so that she is locked in the morgue and he’s quite pleased with himself as he tells XuanYe. He has lost his cuteness with this stunt and I am glad he got the slap he had coming. 😝 I cannot believe BanXia was so stubborn in keeping quiet. She put herself in danger and then blamed the wrong person. She was successful in having XuanYe see the mirror in the right timeframe for it to still be a portal. He now believes her about her father and agrees to help. He gets so frustrated with her butting in, but at the same time I think he admires her courage and unshakable faith when she believes something. She is unflappable facing controversy and while impulsive in her actions, she is usually correct that it is something that needs investigated. He has warned her thoroughly and repeatedly of the possible consequences of dealing with demons and she consistently lets him know she’s all in no matter what. The next surprise is somebody has already taken the pear and a root is in its place.

Truth and dare

The eel demon is on a rampage because XuanYe killed his companion. This is actually a reasonable reaction. The rabbit is all for killing him but the hunter shows mercy. Since he was used as a weapon and not truly malicious on his own XuanYe used moon bugs to consume his primordial spirit and make him a common eel. BanXia tries to hire XuanYe to find out the truth of her father’s supposed death. She brings the mirrors. I was not understanding last episode that it was one from each location her father had used. It seems like they might have served as portals but now function as regular mirrors. He refuses to help her and says she doesn’t have enough money. She sends to get more but doesn’t think money is the real issue. Neither does rabbit🤣 XuanYe reminded him that BanXia was on the hunt right after him and that they needed to keep an eye on her. He also knows the demon won’t approach if they are together. So he now can watch from a distance knowing she will most likely be the next one attacked. BanXia now knows there is an underground city and shows no hesitation to travel there if that’s what it takes to find her father. I think XuanYe is honestly surprised that she would dare to go with or without him. One of the dancers is the recipient of beauty wish. There is another mysterious death of an old woman wearing jewelry of another. The dancers meet at a wishing shrine where BanXia and maid also happen to be. Wishes and gossip is shared. BanXia learns that XuanYe may be the one they talked about when saying he killed his family. She is surprised when he tells her it is true. Knowing what she does about demons she is trying to apply a reasonable explanation on why he might do such a thing. They go out for a meal where she tries to impress ordering one of everything. Music and dancing are on bottom floor when the one dancer with beauty wish spins to the ceiling and then collapses on the floor. Everybody is running to her to find out what is going on.

Tears and travel

I liked that both the rabbit and demon hunter followed BanXia home. I also liked that she tried to figure out which one followed her with the lights. She is quite bold because she immediately leaves to find them on her own. She notices the night watchman gets burned but hides because she doesn’t want to get caught outside after midnight. There is a disturbance from her father’s residence and she checks it out. Nobody even knew he was home so that in itself was odd. He is disheveled and there are broken items lying on the floor. He persuades her to go home and she promises to visit the next day. The following morning it appears her father is dead from a fire in a rented place.. The elderly women are all lined up to start a weeping fest and she quiets them down asking questions. Things are not lining up correctly with the time or location of his death and she is wanting some answers. During the night there are fish head looking demons that are causing grief. They seem to not like discordant sounds so rabbit’s flute playing is perfect 😂 Here I don’t think Ren Jin Lun is having to act hard that his ears are pained with the noise🤣One makes a poor woman play her instrument all night so he can heal. The constsble comes in and rescues her and to be honest I am surprised he is so useful. This fight scene was much better done but he was soon knocked out by the demon. Here the hunter and rabbit take over and get him literally bagged and out of the way. He knows the constable is going to find a way to stick this to him but he handles it anyways. BanXia has looked through her father’s place and has noted that things are odd. She and maid find mirrors that don’t reflect people and she is convinced more is going on then the rented house seems to imply. No one will believe her and they all think she is going over the deep end about demons again. They do not believe they exist and refuse to acknowledge that she might be right about some things. I am liking Song Zu er’s character and acting. She is doing a really good job being strong willed and fearless. She thinks for herself in spite of the odds and refuses to back down just because she isn’t believed. When her brother firmly states that he is taking her to the doctor she packs up and leaves. I am not sure what it was she threw into the water but I am hoping it is that stupid medicine they keep making her take. For now it looks like her family is trying to marry her off and keep her medicated. I think they really do love her, but they could not be more wrong in how they deal with her.😝 There is also one who is given her wish to be beautiful. I am curious what price tag comes with that. The eel demon has escaped but the rabbit doesn’t seem too concerned. It is also fun that BanXia can tell what they really are by their shadows. They all end up meeting in the street at the end of the episode.

at the end when Shin tells Saint, they aren't…

at the end when Shin tells Saint, they aren't friends & Saint says ok i will be whatever u want... that took my BL brain to places i doubt the leads r gonna go, lol. i know there is an LGBT tag, but it doesn't mean the mains r gay, it could just be a side character coming out - doesn't necessarily mean an actual plotline. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************am really happy Chatjen still around, it's like the character was supposed to be around for a few eps but he adds so much flavor to the drama, that they decided to keep him on for a few more eps - which became a few more. anyway i am happy Chatjen's family hasn't migrated & we still get to enjoy this adorably, pure character. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also proud of Cable for trying to stand-up to his mother. of course she gaslit him into submission after the initial outburst, but at least he spoke out & what came once, wont stop - with time he will find his voice again. she really is a self-involved prick, not shocking she treats her son with the same disregard, she does her students. feel sorry for him, cause he looks like he is suffering & all alone.... *************************************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: have to say everyone here really good looking females & males & the acting is also very good. on a whole a well written, acted & directed drama. am enjoying this in-spite of the bullying & violence themed plot (which i tend to avoid).

1st off the teachers in this drama sadly represent the face of most of the teachers world around, they care nothing for the students wellbeing - loved how they went on & on about Shin & evidence.... sorry, but at the start of this teachers showed Jan video evidence of most of Class 2 bullying a teacher & none of them got expelled - why!??? & how many times has Jan gotten knocked down, cause this moron keeps trying to break-up fights with her body? she even gotten slapped & she still wont learn.but Shin the ONLY rotten apple in that school - really?!?? ***************************************************************************& the principle is as rotten as the teacher's, the only reason she didn't get rid of Shin, was cause of Chatjen's father, or rather his money. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also i like Saint & i kinda get where he is coming from, given his age (lack of maturity) but as i have said in the past, he can apologize until he is blue in the face, that doesn't mean Shin has to accept sh*t. but have to say that Saint is making things worse for Shin, his trying to stick to him like glue, always trying to help, always getting involved, constantly giving him unsolicited advise is just adding fuel to the fire that is burning in him. he is cause Shin to lose control. ****************************add to this fact that Saint never tells on Ken & the retarded twins, makes it seem like Shin is the one behind his bruise's. so if everything he is doing is damaging Shin's reputation & life more, what is the point of all these good intentions that r paving the way to hell for Shin?!?
