Legend of Fu Yao

Story-
The story is really huge in this drama, it's not a story that focuses on just one or two viewpoints, there are actually 5 main subplots taking place that make up the main story. They are: Zongyue's mission to avenge his family, Zhan Beiye's journey to the truth, Wuji's family conspiracy, Fuyao's true identity, and finally the developing relationship between Fuyao and Wuji. Given a story with so many subplots, it's hard to focus stay organized, which is why I'm very impressed with the first half of the drama, everything was very organized and character development played a huge role during the character interactions. I was very impressed with the developing relationship between Fuyao and Wuji. Overall, up to end of the first half, where the ending song changed, the story is worth a 10. However, the second half is worth a 7 since there were way too many problems. During the first half, there was gradual development so important events made sense to the audience when they occurred. The second half was way too rushed and a lot of excitement from the first half of the drama dissipated when even the audience could barely understand what's going on, which is a problem. However, it is still entertaining, since there's a lot of thrills and action scenes to make up for the decline in storytelling. I personally think the decline was due to the focus on several subplots and the lack of remaining time for finishing all of them.
Characters-
The characters were well rounded and had a good reason for being there. Character development played an important role in the early stages so that their future decisions made sense to the audience. The main downside is when new characters were introduced extremely late into the story, making them very confusing for the audience to understand. This doesn't detract a lot since there are very minor instances of this, most characters were introduced early on.
Music-
The original soundtrack is incredible for this show. I personally loved the ending song along with the songs played during important moments in the story. If you understand Chinese, each of the songs have a very strong relationship with the events in the story.
Rewatch Value-
I think it's worth watching again since there were a lot of very exciting moments throughout the story, there are many important morals conveyed by the story from the start to the finish, and they were expressed through the experiences of the individual characters.

My major criticism is in the last few episodes. There were a lot of repetitions throughout the drama, but the ending was very rushed, especially since they could of fleshed out the events in more detail. The plot really starts to fall apart during these episodes, since what was going on in them didn't make a lot of sense. Finally, the ending should make sense if you paid attention to earlier details, which is why it's worth rewatching.
