I was very invested in Tantai Jin and Li Susu’s relationship. I wanted these two characters who had experienced so much heartache and devastation to finally find happiness. I especially felt for Tantai Jin because from the moment of his birth, he experienced neglect, isolation, and abuse from those who were supposed to care for him. He could not help the circumstances of his fate and yet he was expected to accept this ill treatment. More than anything, I wanted him to know love, friendship, and acceptance. And this is why I am having difficulty accepting the show’s ending.
Yes, I am happy that the Devil Lord was defeated and that centuries of conflict came to an end. Yes, I am happy that people, demons, and celestial beings can now coexist. However, I cannot accept that Tantai Jin and Li Susu were still forced to endure separation. Why? Why couldn’t they finally have some happiness?
