It's a good drama to pass time
** caution: large spoilers ahead
It makes you want to watch on, but it wasn't one of those works that really engulfs you into the story until it's over. It wasn't anything special or extraordinary; it really follows the tropes of this genre and the story makes sense, albeit it didn't flow as well as I'd like it to in some places.
I really liked both leads. There were some gorgeous martial arts scenes in the beginning.
The only thing I really have qualms with was some of the important plot points and the ending.
Key reveals I think were handled poorly:
1. Han family murder, Xieyun's death-- essentially characters recovering extremely fast from grief.
2. Xiyun's identity reveal-- it was extremely anticlimactic after all the build up.
3. They really just took away Lanxi's power & then gave it back in the span of like 3 episodes.
The problem with the ending:
The last few episodes were really rushed-- the final showdown starts in the middle of the last episode. There just wasn't enough time to make everything feel realistic or for anything to sink in. All those years of preparation, and Yu Wuyuan just loses like that? Within 20 minutes of screen time? In the final battle, it felt like there weren't really any real losses or turning points / consequences to war.
Why are others so quick to letting Huang Chao rule a world that was previously divided into six nations? Is Hua Chunran a good person? A good empress?
Although the main characters got their happy ending, I feel that it was extremely out-of-character for them to go and live off on their own. They clearly have talent ruling, and our ML spent the entire drama going for the throne. They're people who can't stand by idly and watch injustice. Essentially the ending is pointing to a world so perfect that they would never need to interfere-- and I just can't imagine that happening.
