An excuse to see Li Yi Feng in a wig

The story itself had lots of fun potential. The show really suffered from editing choices. I can understand random chunks of a story being skipped for various reasons, but some of these choices were beyond excusable and just disorienting. The last episode could have easily been 15 minutes long. Sumo is such a sweet and level-headed character who really does deserve so much more than the show left him with. There was no real need to have the 6 kings, the prince, the old man, the general, the random central plains girl, and three mermaid captains. Out of the kings we only really got to know Bai Ying and her friend, and she really didn't do much but have a small and unnecessary love storyline; none of the kings had any real power or ability. But the biggest waste of a character was Yan Xi. Such a sweet and shy character was supposed to be a captain? The army did nothing but randomly walk around all day or get killed. The story gave him no fighting power or real intelligence that showed why he had the job he did. He was probably injured more often than the Sumo. Not much to say about our female lead, she barely had a personality and by the halfway point, you can't help but wonder why Sumo loves her. I want my life back.
