Rewatching Immortal Samsara and God the parallels between Tang Zhou and Li Lianhua.
Both of them despising the person they used to be/people remember them as, and refusing to be seen as the person they used to be
Both of them dying faster whenever they use their internal energy/cultivation but using their power in a manner some people might call frivolous because "just let me indulge myself, just this once"
Both of them starting out as carefree mildly arrogant cultivator/martial artists with a lot of responsibility on their shoulders, and them slowly losing their carefree attitude because of love either for one lotus spirit or Shan Gudao
Both of them being at peace with dying but having 2 people fight so hard for them to not die
But in the end, they're so different, because Tang Zhou doesn't even remember when he was Ying Yuan, doesn't remember what he did or why he's so important, he just despises Yingyuan because of what he did to Yandan. He's so tragic because he was never seen as his own person, just an extension of a heavenly deity going through mortal tribulations. Yumo and Yandan fight so hard for him to not die, yes, just like how difang fight for Li Lianhua to live, but unlike difang, it's not because they want Tang Zhou to live for himself and for the people that love him, they just don't want Tang Zhou to die because that means Yingyuan won't come back if he dies. And that hurts so much
Immortal Samsara is in my top 5 favorite dramas of all time and it's because Cheng Yi and his acting. He made me think he was ACTUALLY in love with her. He was so passionate and hot.
Immortal Samsara makes an interesting point for the saying "love is the death of duty". Because Love and Duty are heavily interwoven in this show for the stakes of said duty are so high that love cannot exists without fulfilling it. Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan out of commission = heavenly realm on the edge of breakdown should any crisis occur whatsoever. The parents arc mirrors that too. Had his mother Ran Qing not decided to fulfil her duty Xuan Ye wouldn't be stopped like ever because clearly this family is the only one of any real influence over the entire world. Poor unfortunate souls really. 😆
So Ran Qing might actually have a point in forbidding love because with stakes like these it can lead to catastrophic deeds - it DID for a whole bunch of futures where Xuan Ye won. But Ying Yuan is also right for undoing that because Love is also what can make you the happiest you have ever been. What was his immortality even worth considering the listless life he lived before Yan Dan? Which also stands in contrast to his father who wanted immortality beyond everything else. But the love he held for Ran Qing made him happiest in the end because a world where he won and she died was also not worth living in.
Immortal Samsara 沉香如屑: Yan Day’s outfits 34/37
rewatching this deeply unserious scene again and I just LOVE it so much... she got this dying immortal a coffin for his birthday (none of those words should logically be next to each other) and he has the state of mind to take prime corpse position and then COMPLAIN about it's capacity and how it's a waste of resources...
this was my favourite yandan yingyuan era... no one was missing a half of their heart, no debt larger than life, yingyuan was like 500 times more drama queen sassmax than usual, cheng yi is throwing up blood, no stupid evil sister plotline... it was great
