Positive: Darren Wang was made for this role! He is hot, aggressive and vicious like a wolf! Love it! :D

Negative: Tragic ending. Horrible clothes! ML has some strange priest-like robe.

Music: Beautiful, haunting songs! I'm amazed how good all the songs are, and it goes so well with the theme of "wolf".

I love masculine ML, who are NOT pale (LOL) and Darren Wang has a tan! Love it! I really like how the director made him cold, emotionless, yet conflicted behind the FL's back. I love how they portray the depth of his character. And I love that they gave him a tan! Fitting for soldiers in the sun all day! Finally!

FL is quite naive up until ML betrays her. Her character is a bit boring, annoying, and pitiful, but Li Qin is a very good actress, and portrays it the best she can. Though I don't think this role fits her. She seems more like a mature, smart person and this role should go to someone who looks young, naive, and gullible.

Some scenes don't make sense to me, for ex. I don't understand why ML would bring his troops to be harmed if he just wanted FL to kill him. He's big into brotherhood, so I would think he would protect his troops. If I was director, I would just have him go to the battleground himself and let FL kill him. LOL. Why bring the troops too?

I also don't get the tragic ending themes of these new Chinese drama. It's almost as if Chinese dramas are required to be tragic these days. I think this drama didn't need a tragic ending, as ML and FL could have just left the world to live in the mountains, like Return of the Condor Hero. The ending was a disappointment and unnecessary. It could have been one of my go-to re-watch drama, but I'll just watch up to the last episode. LOL.

Xiao Zhan's character is very likable in this drama. He did a great job playing someone with a big heart, though the wedding scene was a bit funny.

Xin Zhi Lei who plays Yao Ji is a very beautiful actress and plays her character well.
