Now I feel empty..

I just finished this drama last night and in my opinion, this is one of the best C-drama that I watched. I always like this kind of concept in C-drama, the eternal love. The plot also refreshing, not so typical. There are a big conflict between Heavenly Realm and Demon Realm which affect Mortal Realm, but I can say that it was more like an individual conflict, rather than a whole Realm conflict unlike others drama with this kind of concept.

Main Lead's character background is also understandable, as to why the FL and the ML acted like that (the history behind their choices and action). I find myself admire the FL but at the same time also irritated by her character. But when I try to see from her POV, then I understand why she behave like that. Still, her 'Sifeng, Sifeng' annoyed me so much, like, gurl you're one of the baddest FL in C-drama but why are you so weak and stupid when it comes to your so-called righteous sect and your senior manipulation? I like her character better before she regained her 6 sense and when she was the God of War. After she regained her 6 sense, she was like the center of manipulation. But then again, she was made into a 'puppet'. She is so stubborn when it comes to people she trust, actually it is a positive traits, but for her, it was also a negative traits. Why? because when she trust someone, she listen to them and doesn't believe anyone else until that trusted someone tells the truth (or she sees the evidence of that trusted someone betrays her). For example, when everyone told her that Sifeng is a demon, she believe him and she doesn't stop defending him (even if it means to go against her father). That is why her loyalties to Sifeng and to her so called righteous sect (including her family and HaoChen) is the source of the love and also the misunderstanding within the drama. She was torn between her love for Sifeng and the manipulation from her surroundings. She doesn't want to let down her family and her sect, but she doesn't have the heart to hurt Sifeng. Deep in her heart, she knew that it was impossible for Sifeng to lie to her. If only Sifeng tells everything to XJ, then for sure she will believe him. I hope the couple's relationship in this drama more like the couple's relationship in Legend of Fuyao where the FL and ML avoid misunderstandings by talking to each other. But it just my wishful thinking.. Back to FL story, her history as the Star of Mosha and God of War is so heart wrenching. I feel the sadness by being betrayed by his/her trusted so called soulmate (Bai Lin). The way this drama portrayed the back story in the Heavenly Realm is done so perfectly, I am amazed by how dramatic the storytelling was.

Star of Mosha, despite him being the Asura Clan, is not a bad person. Ironically, the evil mastermind behind all of the suffering the 3 realm get is done by the Dijun of the Heavenly Realm. Bai Lin's action impact deeply on Star of Mosha, God of War, and XJ (also XI Xuan and SF). Bai Lin's prejudice against the Demon Clan is very deep it became his obsession. Like the Heavenly Emperor said, the one who have inner demon is not XJ, but Bai Lin himself. His paranoia gets the best of him and it cost him his friendship and everything he had. If only he didn't disturb XJ's tenth tribulation, then XJ would've been get through it sooner. The reason why she doesn't succeed in her 9 tribulation before is because of her hatred and anger that doesn't dissipated. Her hatred was paid off by her 9 tribulation, and because of SF guidance in those tribulations. That's why on her tenth tribulation, she was able to feels the love and warmth from other people. Actually, all of this also explained by Heavenly Emperor to Bai Lin. SF played a big role on Star of Mosha/God of War/XJ's 1000 years died down anger. I really like how the story goes, the way it flows perfectly and how every story connects to each other.. It's rare to come across a drama like this. I think there's not many plot hole, maybe only one or two, but I don't even know it (I don't really give a f**k about the side character's drama except for Zihu-Wu Zhiqi, Tengshe, Ting Nu, and Liu Yiuhan).

Sifeng, I saw him as a hopelessly romantic. He endures all of the suffering for XJ in all realm. I'm touched by his unconditional love for XJ but it doesn't mean he didn't do anything wrong. He is in the wrong for hiding many things from XJ, for not truly truthful to XJ. Other than that, it was wrong for SF to treat XJ as a normal lover, because XJ's lack of sense made her childlike and inept to act like normal young adult. She needs guidance and protection (especially with all the toxic influence in XJ environment), but SF gave her that support only in the beginning of the story when she still lacks her 6 sense while her adaptability, even after she regained her 6 sense back, is much slower than others. SF's way of teaching XJ how to feel through food is actually the best way for her to understand better, and SF is the only one who can do that. But after the first misunderstanding (where SF have to spend a year in the Tower of Oblivion) that practice was gone. And after that? XJ learned everything the hard way. Actually, we don't get to see much from SF's story because the main story revolves around XJ. I want to know what happened to Xi Xuan in the Heavenly Realm, the reason why, how, and what made him fell in love with God of War in the first place. As far as I know, Xi Xuan is the Golden Bird XJ always talks to. But how they encounters each other? All we see is more of their connections in Mortal Realm. But what made him willing to strip off his celestial form for God of War? and is that the reason why SF death as a mortal is so avoided? because he can't go back to being Xi Xuan for 10.000 years? Will they repeat the circle of reincarnation for 10.000 years? and what will happen to XJ once 10.000 years passed? I think they can make 2nd season out of this.. (actually this is my wish because I can't get enough of XJ-SF)

This drama is worth rewatching, but I can't stand the misunderstanding that arises every time there's a chance. Oddly enough, SF and XJ characters grows on me slowly but sure. Little did I know, SF and XJ's already engraved on my mind. It's different from other lead in other drama where I'm captivated from the beginning mainly because of the leads visual (Ashes of Love, TMOPB) and then the story. It doesn't mean that the leads visual from this drama is inferior than other's drama leads. I'm not gonna compare the 3 together, there's resemblance on these 3 drama but they have their own uniqueness and the way their story goes is in a different path. The most important thing is I love the 3 of them, and I have a REALLY hard time to move on, to come back to reality. I'm sure many of you feels the same way as I do.. The only downside from this drama is the misunderstanding caused by the wicked, evil, cunning, manipulative, psychopath, paranoid Bai Lin is too much and I think half of the plot is only about the misunderstanding. Oh and also, the lack of Xi Xuan's backstory. I can give a perfect score if these 2 aspects got cut down.. Never, for once, I find this drama boring and it's rare for me to feel that way, especially with a drama that had so many misunderstanding.

And now I'm back to reality.. I don't know what to do after this, I don't have a backup drama and now I'm doomed..
