Love and Redemption, eps 21-30 (more thoughts... and tears)
Tumblr media
Don’t talk to me *wipes tear away* Please... I just need a moment to gather my thoughts to be a fully functional human again.
...Okay, it’s not going to work, I can’t do it. Let’s just proceed with this. Beware, this may be more of an incoherent mess than anything else.
Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. That’s exactly how I would describe these episodes, despite the fluff I got for like an episode and a half (if we do the math, it was minimmal, and basically all the time we got with real beautiful moments and no one hurting except for Linglong who was and still is in a coma). Omfg if I’m already like this how can I possibly do the second half of this drama? Think about it, my fave genre is romcom! I have no business here! NONE.
I’m trying to wrap my head around the fact that episode 21 started on shaky grounds but it wasn’t a shitshow and then eveything got serious and ultimately real bad and by ep 23 I was screaming like a crazy woman,out of my senses,  watching my Sifeng getting tortured! And then came that freaking whip! Like, what the fuck, man? How did this turn so bad so fast? And btw these leaders from the so called “good and righteous” sects can go and take their precious rules and values and shove them up right where the sun don’t shine! *The Untamed flashbacks intensify* I cannot deal with your kind and your hypocrisy a second time. And stay the fork away from Sifeng!

I was so happy that his master from the Lize sect appeared (and of course by that point I already knew the Deputy Chief wasn't going to lift a finger to save Sifeng, not bc he's bad big shocker but bc I think he genuinely dislikes him) spoke with reason, got everything solved in 2 minutes and saved his favorite disciple.
CAN PEOPLE/DEMONS/DEITIES AND ANYONE AND ANYTHING ELSE PLESASE STOP HURTING, TORTURING OR TRYING TO KILL SIFENG? Because, thanks, that’d be very much appreciated. For like a week, jeez, maybe even a month! And Xuanji, baby, I adore you, but you were also part of the problem and because this drama is out to get me, and if the clues from the past (her heavenly past not her past tribulations) are anything to go by, you will keep being part of the equation. 
You know things are bad when the demon fox I disliked a dozen of eps ago and didn’t see for just as long, is now like in my top 5 favorite characters right beside Sifeng’s annoying pet (and only because she has always Sifeng’s back), the merman doctor, the comatose Linglong and my OTP. The stinky monkey whom I don’t know very well, blond guy from the heavenly realm and fanfiction writer who always says perfectly sane things, are high on the list, not gonna lie. All the others can go to hell, and hey, a couple of them, including Minyan, are already there, so, am I winning or what? I’m so proud to say I didn’t like him much from the beginning and if he ever gets forgiven I hope he works his ass off for it. Objectively he didn’t do anything so bad, he was worried about the others and trying to save Linglong but still, he gets on my nerves. Let’s not talk about Sifeng’s Lize friend. okay? Okay.
Okay, deep breaths, deep breaths, I can do this.

I clapped and cheered watching this!
So, the love story keeps moving. I mean, I do have to look at the bright side and take as win the fact that Xuanji gained her whole 6 senses back and recognizes her love for Sifeng. I didn’t like, however, that Sifeng was the only one who got to see their past lives, not bc I wanted Xuanji to suffer but because I didn’t want my dude to watch that awfulness alone. Or maybe I’m just being picky because I cried on ep 27. Their love may not be a tender and very healthy love story, but it's freaking epic, even more so if we take into account that I think they really weren't "meant" to be together, because it's obvious destiny is not on their side. And yet!!! Yet Sifeng keeps falling for her, sacrificing himself and doing anything for this woman.
*Sigh* Still, how is it possible to feel like I got to know a bit more about Xuanji’s romantic past on the Heavenly realm but I still don’t know where is Sifeng in there. That magical marriage stone shone over Xuanji and Dijun (eww but she shut down all rumors immediately hehe) and fanfiction writer keeps saying they were a match made in heaven or whatever. But Dijun being the pathethic dumbass he is, is unable to recognize love (or feelings) even if they dance in front of him with a huge sign written in neon letters. The dude gets so jealous he makes huge ass storms and nobody in heaven besides fanfic writer notices shit. wtf? What kind of God is he, anyway? God of Pettiness? He really does get more on my nerves than the demon bad guys.

This is how they call it when the God of War found out the truth? Interesting way to say she was angry. 
Tumblr media
Is it? LOL
The story fanfic writer told blond guy is that God of War thought that since she was matched or whatever with Dijun they were going to marry but douchebag married someone else and God of War killed the father of this woman(don’t know why). Again, where is Sifeng in that story? Could it be that this has been a one sided love for a thousand years but in this tenth life Xuanji has finally loved him back? Because damnnnnnn that's perseverance. No means no, of course, but the guy never really forced anything on her or asked for much, we saw it in their past lives, he was there to risk it all, do it all for her. Only asking for her to remember him. A tiny thing by comparison.
Sifeng is a demon. Sifeng is a demon! Sifeng is a demon??? But...how? why? was he one in the other lives? What is going on, drama? Give me answers!!!! That effing whip they used on him was supposed to reveal a demon after one slash,right? but that didn't happen. The heck?!
Tumblr media
PS. I continue to be amazed by the acting. By the whole cast, really, but especially Cheng Yi’s and Crystal’s. The way that I believed they were different people in the other lives...!!! Xuanji’s eyes devoid on any warm and tenderness, like the way we’re used to... and when Sifeng took the sword for Xuanji and she cried... it was delicious to watch.
