Here's the place to share and discuss about them!
I was wondering.. does Lao Lao know Ling Er's true form (i.e a Nu Wa Descendant) and who taught Ling Er magical powers, when Lao Lao obviously didn't use magic. Where did those girls in Xian Ling Dao comes from?
lroz:
I think Lao lao herself know Ling'er true form, if not when Lao lao was dying, she told Xiao yao to bring Ling'er to Na Zhao Guo.
kiyuster:
I think those powers naturally came to Ling'er.
Some questions I have aren't necessarily without answers. It's just little tidbits that bother me.
Like for example, is it just me? Or did Xiao Yao fail to pay as much attention as we would've liked to Ling'er after Yue Ru died?
I don't think I ever saw a moment where they just smiled at each other, tenderly, lovingly. Each look they gave seemed rather cold and awkward.
Not only that, but all the "sweet" scenes lasted 10 seconds at best. For example, when the baby was born, when they revisited Lao Lao's grave, even when they got married again.
The marriage scene was more focused on Xiao Yao talking to Tang Yu. ::)
There was never an actual scene where they sat down, told each other how much they loved each other, and assured each other, and held each other's hands...
If that had happened, it would've made the ending much easier to bear...=\
Before, when Xiao Yao was continuously chasing Ling'er, even though they weren't together, you could feel the love they had for each other. He was always looking for her, she was always trying to forget him. It was strong, and it remained strong throughout the story until they actually got together.
I mean, think about the scene where Xiao Yao was "killed" by Ah7 and Ling'er found him dead. She didn't do anything, there was no shocking music blasting in the background. All she did was sit there, shake him a little, and cried maybe 3 drops. ???
I guess my final question is, did anyone else seem to feel Xiao Yao didn't really show his love for Ling'er that much, and same vice versa?
Chibi Jennifer:
Yup, I agree with ya..
Once they were actually together, he didn't seem like how he was before (which is somewhat disappointing)- I mean, the point when he rushed in and called for Ling Er in the Tower, that was so touching, you can really see the love. I guess after the traumatic experience of someones death i.e Yue Ru, they behaved differently? I donno... when Xiao Yao found out Yue Ru died, she started getting very worried about Ling Er, and wanted to see her- if Jiu Jian Xian allowed him to see her, maybe it would show more.. but he told him to go outside- which caused a lot of frustrations for him.
Then he went travelling to the past and everything in hopes to change history, and so even when he found out Ling Er was alive, he wasn't as happy as he should have been o.o Which I found rather stupid...
But I guess to some extent, couples are usually like that..the process of trying to get them together is what is soo good to watch, but once they're together, there's no real barriers, and they understand that now they have each other- everything is ok, and no words need to be spoken to show their love for each other.
Chibi Jennifer:
yeh..omg, that part was disappointing in that aspect.. in the game, that was like the "high point" in the story..like it was devastating when Xiao Yao found out she was like a snake.... and I guess that scene would have been better if he was totally shocked to see what he did... cause then he would understand the pain Ling Er had to go through, and the reason which she kept pushing him away..it would have her reason valid, and so he would also feel guilty, and realise everything she did (including hurting him) was just to make him happy..
I suppose in the drama Ling Er was in a life and death situation, and the thought of her being dead just made him see the fact she was a snake, very small.. In a way its nice he didn't care she was a snake, like- almost no sign of hesitation; he just rushed up to her in tears and desperation.
In the game, Ling Er was not "dead", but she was still in her Nu Wa Form, tied up in chains on a sword...she looked quite different since her hair was red and etc... Xiao Yao could not recognise her at first, and she says a few lines of poetry..and he gets his memory back- however; she tells him she's not the Ling Er he knew...
purpleGirl:
I thought it was odd how they actually saw LingEr'sNuWa form early in the series, but just thought t was some demon..no hesitation to kill her off. I wonder when XiaoYao saw her the 2nd time in the form, whether he saw any connections ^^;
He didn't sounds really surprised about LingEr having his baby in the series~
kiyuster:
Omg, I remember that too! I was completely expecting him to crack a big grin and say, "Ni you wo men de hai zi le? (您有我们的孩子？)" and for them to share a special scene.
But instead, he had zero reaction. And during the actual giving birth, he didn't seem the slightest bit concerned that Ling'er was screaming in agony. In most dramas, the husband is always freaking out.
tmtien:
what got me was Ling'er's pregnancy. How come her belly never grew big? even up to the point where she had the baby? I mean during ep 30 & 31 they had her wear that outfit which made her look a little bit pregnant, but then she dooned the Princess outfit and her stomach was flat again 0.o. was this one of the side effects of dripping her own blood onto her tail to get rid of it? cos they never really explained that in ep 9, just that the her blood would hide her true Nu Wa form...
Also, i rewatched episodes 30 and 31 to see if there was a point where XY actually found out that Ling'er was pregnant with his child and they never mentioned it. It was like he found her in the tower, and then when they were back at the Saintess's house after he had come back from the past, they only focused on the story between the drunken sword immortal and the Queen. Then it went right onto the storyline about Ah Nu and TY...no mention at all about XY finding out that Ling'er was pregnant.
Then there was one line in ep 30 when XY was trying to take ling'er away and didnt want them to go save Ah Nu. In this bit the Saintess mentioned one line along the lines of "and there's the child ling'er is carrying"
At first i thought i'd miss it, but when i rewatched it only to realize that this was the only mention about the baby leading up to it birth, i was like what the 0.o. I think the directors assumed that because we know about the baby, then it would be ok to skip it, but still i think it didnt tie in very well.
hehe...sorry for such a long rant, but that was just something that was bothering me. I just think they should have showed more significance towards the fact that ling'er and XY had shared a child together out of their love for each other...
