And I LOOOOOVED his new aesthetic as the Demon Lord.)Ĥ) Jinmi was slow growth and it was a STRUGGLE to get through her indecisiveness and not telling Xufeng she loved him back but when she spit out the Yun Dan? Oh my god. (Also Xufeng rubbing it in Runyu's face that Jinmi chose to marry him? Absolutely iconic. Demon Realm is only pain and angst and we don't even get much of them being loving post-wedding, they just go straight to war. (Deng Lun and Yang Zi have such wonderful chemistry and they are TOP TIER criers.) Mortal Realm only competes with Demon Realm because of the amount of cute romance scenes.

I loved how sweet they were to each other, I loved Xufeng's puppet show scene, I cried HARD when he found out Jinmi died. I have a hard time between favoring this arc vs the mortal realm-at first I was annoyed at the mortal realm cuz UGH SUIHE IS STILL PULLING THIS LIKE GIRL GET A GRIP and we had to have them meet and fall in love AGAIN? But I loved all their interactions. People were telling me this was the best part and they were not fucking around lol. Portrayals of kind stepmoms are so rare haha.ģ) 45-63. I love that she was genuinely kind, cared for Jinmi, and objected to the marriage knowing Luolin and Zifen were in love and never tried to start a romance with Luolin. Sidenote: I love that Linxiu wasn't a petty jealous woman who was angry her husband loved someone else. I think he mentioned he didn't want to piss off Tuyao, but wasn't he already (rightfully) pissed off with both of them anyway for raping and killing Zifen? Didn't he know marrying someone else to placate Taiwei did nothing to protect Zifen in the end? I understand some people can be frustrated with Jinmi's naivete but I blame the Floral Fairies for never explaining to her about the Yun Dan.

Speaking of which, Yanyou was thrown out of the Heavenly Realm and abused as hell by Suli, but he sure didn't come out as bitter as Runyu did.Ģ) I thought it was kind of hypocritical that Luolin would say they shouldn't judge Runyu just because Taiwei was his father but was totally cool with shooting down Jinmi's objection to the engagement once she realized she loved Xufeng. Xufeng always trusted him, Moon Immortal would scold him for not visiting enough (showing he did care), Kuang Lu was the only person in thousands of years to join him because she admired him so much, Yanyou went out of his way to help Runyu confront his trauma.

Yes, he got screwed over by Tuyao SO MUCH, but plenty of people were kind to him.

But that's where I think Runyu thought of Jinmi as a possession to take from Xufeng and not as an autonomous being. The Flower Realm held grudges against the Heavenly Realm, so of course they would back her. Sure, Jinmi killing Xufeng was pretty stupid, but I could understand where she was coming from as her father and mother figure had just died and she'd seen what she could assume was solid proof Xufeng had done it. Yeah, no, my sympathy for him went out the window as soon as he tried to trap Jinmi, force her to be his bride, and lied via omission that Xufeng killed her dad and Linxiu. And I have several thoughts.ġ) Upon going through some other reddit posts (couldn't help myself and NEEDED to read other opinions haha) I noticed a lot of sympathy for Runyu and people saying they couldn't feel angry at him. It takes an extremely good drama for me to want to rewatch it (I only ever rewatch lighthearted comedy shows so I don't have to get too emotional) but this one I went back and went through all the scenes immediately.
