“I want to protect Lu Zhao Yao and also the lands and world that she was raised in”

• This is exactly what I meant when I said the plot ended for me the moment MQ lifted ZY's veil. Who needs JW's lightbulb arc, LMX's 2nd resealing, or the heart trenching demonic LCL? Can't you just end it beautifully without the tragedy.

Military Academy Interview conducted by Bailu and ?

• They are hilarious. The person in the car to bailu "Do you want to know why I am a vegetarian because you are my dish" (dish and veggie are the same pronunciation) and then slams the car door. "What? Did we just get rejected?" HAHAHA

Lol, I have been asking the same question for lots of C-Drama, like please, it doesnt have to be a tragedy with lots of deaths for it to be considered a meaningful or beautiful ending or whatever the heck they are thinking. In fact, it is OK for it to end it nicely with happy endings and audience will still love it! 

[frostflower14 1,453]

 

Here’s the translation for Liu Cangling’s “Four Most Devoted Male Lovers” profile. 

 

Most stubborn man

Canidate  being investigated: Liu Cangling 

Personality: A modest gentleman and an elegant youth

Object of devotion: Qin Zhi Yan

Reason for being on board:Tying hair together (when we have matured) a flower hairpin makes a match with a gentleman. In the end separated prematurely from her and turned down. The sentence, “Zhi Yan,follow me”,in the end turned into a sigh of sadness. We were childhood friends turned lovers but ultimately fearing we were never meant to be. Not asking when she will return,only asking about the next lifetime.

 

[frostflower14 1,453]

 

Here’s the translation of Si Ma Rong’s “Most Devoted Male Lover” profile

 

The most attentative  man

Canidate being investigated:Si Ma Rong

Personality: Warm and refined as polished jade and with a disposition like an orchid (elegant and modest)

Object of devotion: Yue Zhu

Reason for being on board: Becoming loose are my clothing, yet I regret not, for I languish and suffer because of her (this a quote from a poem and refers to his mental state after the death of Yue Zhu). After Yue Zhu’s passing,took on the responsibility of recreating her likeness and making a wooden doll to replace her.This doll stayed by his side as his companion. His level of devotion was only one small precious part.

 

[bluehibiscus 9,954]

For Sima Rong, I think 用心 in this context means "taking pains to do something" rather than "cunning". He certainly took a lot of pains to create a wooden doll with Yue Zhu's looks.

I used to think that until I watched a couple dramas which were all lovey-dovey for the last episode without any complications. Surprisingly, it got a bit boring. Mo Qing turning demonic is one of climaxes of the novel so it would be odd for the drama to end at the wedding. I just hope the ending won't be rushed with bad editing. I believe it will still be a happy ending as Bai Lu mentioned in one of the interviews it is a sweet drama, not a tearjerker.

I think it most likely is the kissing scene in the closing credits.

I believe it will still be a happy ending as Bai Lu mentioned in one of the interviews it is a sweet drama, not a tearjerker.

I think this drama handle climax very well (up to now). Even though each arc has its own climax, the level of climax is getting higher in the later arcs. In short, there is no lackluster period. Every lovey dovey moments are inserted as preparation for the next confrontation, giving the audience a time to breath before angst scene. We are forced to dread what to come because the drama keeps hinting that we have not seen the worst yet.

 

This is the second chinese drama that I follow live. The first one is Nirvana in Fire 2. And even though NiF2 was a very good production, it actually failed to hold my passion until the end because its last arc felt less powerful than its previous arc. 

 

At this point of time, I have resigned myself to whatever angst that the writer concocted as long as I get a happy end. Watching this drama when it runs to its last arc has become a kind of torture. I am too attached to the male lead by now, until the point that I have thought: Okay, just let Li Chen Lan hurry up becoming demon and Zhao Yao ends up killing him with her own hand. Let her taste what despair is ......

Zhao Yao fraternizing with Jiang Wu starts to annoy me. I know that she is indebted to him but I think she should draw a clear line, since she knows that Jiang Wu likes her. I hope she will be more strict after Jiang Wu hurts Li Chen Lan and blatantly says his intent on killing him. If she still fraternizing with Jiang Wu after that ...... I don't know what to say.

 

Regarding Li Chen Lan demonic arc, I have suspicion that the drama will make Li Chen Lan actually lucid even though he has descend to demonic state but pretended to be not so to make sure that Zhao Yao will take him out. In the scene of their last battle, I kind of sensing that Li Chen Lan actually waiting for that final strike moment. Remember, he cannot really die, Wan Jun sword won't let him get mortally wounded. So the only way to kill himself is to let Zhao Yao close as possible before letting go Wan Jun sword so the sword won't be able to save him in time.

[Alila Nguyen 723]

The only thing agonising for me is to wait for the drama to come out lol! Everything else I’m pretty happy about. Sure the editing could have been done much much better, but then I would not get to see those vibrant beautiful scenes in natural light lol  I love the energy saving mode comment @DontEatMyKimchi It likes we have been messing up the editing, so perpetual darkness from now on to ensure correct timeline  the CGI, some part is terrible, some part is great. I just care about the sword battle at Liu Cangling’s sect, as it’s the most important one. Everything else is as expected of a cdrama lol! (I know my standard used to be much higher, but over the years, I guess I either lower my standard or I won’t have even 1-2 drama a year where I can enjoy it lol!).

 

the storyline is actually going quite well, there is actually a solid story, and it keeps moving forward. And like @xienrue said, they keep adding the foreshadow, letting the audience knows it’s gonna get worse. Most importantly, it’s very fresh. A lot of people felt it the same plotline at the first 2 eps, however, you can start seeing the difference around the first half of the first episode, when she’s fawning over the golden deity lol! While there are other girls who would fawn over pretty men straight away, but the way she acts (feed him food by hand and the dude lets her, while constantly said no to her advance) and the way he acts set up an odd intriguing feeling lol (you know they won’t happen, yet he let her on, and he’s supposed to be good, so you want to know how good he actually is). And the moment she rescue LCL, that almost seal the deal for me, then her conviction when she got tortured by the one person she admired. Such strong fierce female character, just love her lol.

 

And I only hope it won’t be rushing these last few eps. I know not many like the flame’s daughter, but I do love the ending (and the whole series lol), they spent the entire last ep on just the main leads, while many might find it slow and boring, I think it gives just the right amount of time to end the series beautifully. I hope we get that here

Translation: 

JW: LCL, let's have a duel to the death on Feng Mo Mountain tomorrow. The winner gets to have LZY. The loser forfeits his life. (Later he burns the note. ZY happens to walk in and asks him what he was burning. He replies, "Nothing [important].")

@Alila Nguyen I watched Flame's Daughter without skipping or fast forwarding. The setup for the male lead character is actually quite good on paper. Unfortunately, the styling of the male lead wasn't very successful (his acting was still alright) and the main leads had very little chemistry. The last scene would have been better if they had better chemistry.
