My heart can't forget about Love and Redemption
My heart can't forget about Love and Redemption. I think this sentence with which I start this review is the one that best describes my current state of mind, since, even though I finished this drama about a week ago, I couldn't forget it and always find myself listening to the osts and seeing random scenes (most of them impacting). To what is this my forgetfulness due? Is this due to the memorable love story told in this drama, or should I tell stories? (since we have Zi Hu and his "smelly monkey"). I must say that I am not a fanatic for xianxias, but that I watch at least some of the most cited as Legend of Fuyao, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, The Legends, Ashes of Love, Love and Destiny and Eternal Love of Dream, having each one these stories touched me a lot and raised my definitions of love (although I myself don't believe in such an abstract concept), but why am I bringing these dramas to my consideration?
This is due to the fact that Yu Si Feng, our prota, raises the definition of devotion (yes, he is a devotee to his love for XuanJi) to a new level, which I think will hardly be reached. This devotion is demonstrated by the excellent performance of Cheng Yi, who knew how to pass us through his reactions and facial expressions as the love that makes redemption possible (pun on the name of the drama) must be. In those 59 episodes that seemed more like 16 episodes, we were able to follow how Cheng Yi and also the beautiful and competent Crystal showed a love that was planted in the Celestial Kingdom and extended for 10 lives, 9 lives marked by the apparent indifference of the incarnations of XuanJi, who immersed in anger arising from an injustice, she was unable to perceive the love that lay before her in time. A love that I think goes beyond any definition and adjectives that we have, with that I return to the protagonists that I had previously mentioned. When reviewing the scenes and stories of Ye Hua and Xufeng in particular, I was always somewhat perplexed by the delivery of each of these characters and even fell into the folly of thinking that I would never find a character who suffered as much as they did, but lo and behold I face in 2020 Yu Sifeng, who in addition to raising my standard regarding the idea of immortal love so to speak, also made me redefine my understanding of suffering.
Think about it, in 59 episodes we saw that Yu Sifeng lost his celestial status, reincarnated 10 times (in 9 he died for Xuanji or he was killed by her, that in THOUSAND YEARS), and he had to endure in his tenth life a series of injustices that resulted in a series of tortures and near-death situations, all to console Xuanji's spirit, all without support. Some of them may tend to be angry with the prota, but even though I got irritated at times, I couldn't because the INJUSTICE she suffered, the pain she had to bear was very great and besides that pain she was still treated as a criminal, as enemy of the three for just wanting a repair. Here I come to question some ideas present in the dramas. Well, as is known in the drama, we have 5 sects that, at least in theory, follow the right path, but just like in other dramas it is noticed that the very notion of the just is distorted and not only by these just sects, but also by immortals who serve as a guide for these individuals.
The notion of justice, morality, right here appears in a caricatured representation, where the actions, the motivations behind these characters do not go against what such abstract concepts should mean, because the "just" know little about what justice and righteousness, and that we see during the episodes and we have some illustrious representatives like the one I really consider as the main villain, Hao Chen / Bai Lin Dijun. And I find it interesting that even to show the meaning of evil we have a counterpoint because we see in this drama an evil in its representation, say that a little caricature (with Yuan Lang) and that evil that is not perceived, the evil disguised as morality by middle of Dijun, but I’m not going to go any further, otherwise I’ll give you crucial spoilers). Anyway, if you want to know a little more about love, hate, redemption, justice and injustice WATCH Love and Redemption !!!
