Love and Redemption Rewatch: ep. 1
I genuinely love and adore this show but with how little content there is for L&R, I had to made some for myself.
Beware of SPOILERS for the whole story! Seriously...
I'm so excited!!! The opening song is still so good and still so full of spoilers. Like really, Si Feng with the wings??? The creators were not afraid... it was a choice.
Tumblr media
Who do we have here? Yep, they have shown our bird and our monkey right off the bat.
The whole opening monologue is such a great misdirection! They even say it - one comes after the other! But the viewer expects two players, so this very suspicious setup is completely disregarded.
Tumblr media
Wow, they really show everyone, don't they? :)
The concept of soul AND primordial spirit was very hard for me to grasp the first time, but rewatch makes it quite clear.
Tumblr media
I swear I have seen this guy somewhere...
Tumblr media
Yep, it's this guy from The Journey of Chong Zi.
Tumblr media
This is ANOTHER great misdirect because we know that God of War and Star of Mosha are going to be reincarnated at the same time and OF COURSE Si Feng is here... so who could he possibly be, am I right? :)
And another great thing? The demons genuinely don't have the most important information either. :D
I almost forgot that they need Rahu Ketu's weapon to unseal the cup... all these macguffins to keep track of.
Tumblr media
And this ist how the story tells us that Xuan Ji and Ling Long are twins... pretty easy to miss.
Tumblr media
Ten months?? That's quite post-term!
Tumblr media
Ling Long is amazing from the start. Protective older sister is something I need more of... and Ling Long is fierce!
Tumblr media
The introduction of Min Yan is also on point: the only one who can keep up with Ling Long and never leaves her, but at the same time is always backed into some corner by her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He is regretting it already... :D
Tumblr media
Ling Long is talking about all these "handsome men" she gets to meet and Min Yan is not amused...
Tumblr media
I have questions! Are all of these golden winged birds?? If so, do they really cast out so many potential warriors? To fend for themselves in hostile world without their powers?? That's rough AND wasteful...
Tumblr media
I can't decide which picture sums up the Master of Li Ze Palace (does he have a name???) better, but I love him and his terrifying claws.
Tumblr media
The bird lantern! There truly is foreshadowing for everything, if you know what to look for!
Tumblr media
Yuan Lang's and Wu Zhi Qi's "friendship" is so interesting to me, because sometimes Yuan Lang almost looks like he means it... but the powerplay always comes first.
Tumblr media
Wu Tong goes from awestruck to smirking in 0,2 seconds and then proceeds to bully the sister of the girl he likes... it's actually quite realistic.
Tumblr media
I honestly can't remember when Si Feng stops stammering... I will have to look out for that.
Tumblr media
Ling Long isn't afraid to say it. :D
Tumblr media
Min Yan still isn't enjoying the whole "let's look for handsome mysterious guys" vibe, but Ling Long has him figured out.
Tumblr media
The relationship between these two is extremely enjoyable right from the start. :)
Tumblr media
I think this is the scene that made me definitely fall in love with Ling Long. She is determined, driven, protective and smart, and she is not afraid to use tactics like this - the crying and evocation of their mother is extremely well done and the way she immediately cuts her crying once she gets what she wants is hilarious. No one can mess with her sister, not even their own father!
Tumblr media
This is a very specific morning routine. It can't be easy to make your tea from dewdrops fallen from a plum tree... just saying.
Tumblr media
This relationship is off to a very bad start.
I already forgot how hostile Si Feng was at the beginning. I would feel bad for Xuan Ji, but she doesn't mind...
Tumblr media
Si Feng is repressed and Chuan Ji is absolutely clueless about everything and it's very entertaining to watch. :)
The candle dragon sounds are genuinely scary.
Tumblr media
This is a very impulsive decision on Chuan Ji's part and one she should have thought out better. She knows the rules, knows that the mask is important. What is she hoping to achieve by taking it off? It frustrates me a little, this lack of forethought, but the story needs it to get moving.
Tumblr media
And here is another clue... wow, that's quite a lot for episode 1.
One episode was enough to rekindle my love for most of these characters... this rewatch could get quite annoying unfortunately . :)

Min Yan is so starved for male friendship that he honestly goes “Sifeng wasn’t mean to me today, I HEREBY SWEAR THAT WE ARE SWORN BROTHERS FOREVER”

My English is bad, so I made Al write you a message in America TikTok slang.
Yo, blud, I gotta give you props, no cap! Your yandere Tumblr game is straight-up rizz, and you're slaying the narrative scene like a true queen, yas! Your storytelling skills are fire, and every time I hit up your blog, I'm shook by the intensity and emotion you bring to those posts. Your yandere characters? They're next level complex, and I'm low-key obsessed with how you dive into those twisted relationships.
Your storytelling game is lit, and those cliffhangers? They're like a rollercoaster ride, keeping me glued to my screen. I'm forever on the edge of my seat, craving more of your thrilling narratives. Keep doing your thing, blud, 'cause you're an absolute legend in the yandere Tumblr world. Can't wait to see where you take us next, and you're definitely no NPC, that's for sure!

Feeling cray-cray and delulu, if that is what American says

Love and Redemption Rewatch: ep. 2
This rewatch could take a little longer than I expected with how time consuming it is, but here we go...
Tumblr media
And so we get our first shred of the Mirror... which really should have been better hidden, if they ever hoped thing such as this not to happen.... The Secret Ground isn't all that secure.
Tumblr media
From the start, Bai Lin is extremely determined that some things just Must Not Happen!
Tumblr media
This whole "we are deciding Xuan Ji's punishment" situation shows very nicely the priorities and motivations of several characters. Ling Long shows up as soon as the whole berating starts, ready to intervene but biding her time. When the punishment is announced, Min Yan reacts immediately and pleads for leniency (on his knees and all). He doesn't think about it at all. I believe his main motivation is (as always) Ling Long, who, he knows, is extremely unhappy by this development and wants to protect her sister. Additionally, Xuan Ji is his friend and he wants to help her, but his main objective is to make Ling Long happy. Ling Long tries her classic crying act but is immediately silenced and quickly realizes that the situation is too dire to save her sister like this (still she tries one more trick - to appeal to aunt Hong - but this also fails). Xuan Ji doesn't fear the cave because she has no point of reference for pain or discomfort (beeing pampered her whole life) and is by far the most chill with the situation. But she also doesn't have any real regard for the rules of her sect and doesn't get the severity of her transgression. And that isn't because of her non-existent emotions, that is herself. She isn't concerned with rules or great ideals, she lives in the moment. Her biggest concern at the moment is Si Feng's wellbeing as she feels a connection with him. (Lets face it - Si Feng is guilty for trespassing in another sect's Secret Ground just because he needed to find his spiritual beast - Xuan Ji isn't protecting an innocent, she protects the boy she had connected with).
Chu Lei's speech to Yuan Lang has strong "who allowed you to go into my bedroom, the door were closed, bitch!" vibe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, this happened 16 years ago, approximately when Xuan Ji was born... but what about in her previous lifes, was the Jade Cup always sealed somewhere nearby? Did I just forget this detail?
Tumblr media
Such a clever little misdirection and at the same time a hint...
Tumblr media
And another clever misdirection: the show keeps showing us Yuan Lang during Xuan Ji's visions (and sometimes even Wu Zhi Qi) giving audience the impression that THIS is Star of Mosha thatwe are battling. My friend was even confused that there seemed to be more of them as the face and the mask keeps changing! Good job confusing the audience! :)
Tumblr media
The "Ling Long tries to teach her sister how to cry" scene is very funny... and adorable... I love Ling Long.
Tumblr media
The chilli powder plan is genius... :D In my country we use onion - works every time!
Tumblr media
Si Feng is getting flogged as a punishment and the justification is that losing the mask puts everyone from Lize palace in danger... and this is probably not untrue...
Also, Si Feng stammers only in the presence of Xuan Ji.
Tumblr media
Bai Lin is here for ten (largely uneventful) years already... he must miss his bed...
Tumblr media
It's very sweet how sincerely Min Yan cares about Xuan Ji (even if it is a fertile ground for future misconceptions). Actually Xuan Ji is very loved by her sect brothers and sisters...
Tumblr media
Is there some hidden meaning to the fact that taste has been the first sense to be recovered?
Tumblr media
As expected, Ling Long's cooking is terrible. And as expected, Min Yan eats it all anyway, because she doesn't want her to be sad. I love these two, but Min Yan is the one who truly treasures his beloved person.
Tumblr media
Min Yan's reaction to Ling Long's bitching is priceless...
Tumblr media
... OR they want to save their own mask (and skin). One of those options. (Just saying. Si Feng isn't motivated by personal feelings just yet.)
Tumblr media
Min Yan can be quite sneaky... and his plan actually worked! Good job, even worth Ling Long's slight disappointment.
Tumblr media
And... he isn't stammering anymore, yep... That was quick - must have been the shock in the first place.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When you have the luxury of knowing, this is truly heartbreaking... I must look out for the first tears.
Tumblr media
The beginning of a beautiful friendship!
