*the music, won't say much very beautiful .the artists dropped ????
*story well written, nice pace , feel like there are some easter eggs tobe found once you re-watch
actors ... great!!!
Xiao Zhan, Wang Churang stunning and charismatic as usual, Limingde...the best , Renmin very good for her first major work?....
*the angst?, not unnecessary for the story at all, everything is tied in ......one of the dramas where I genuinely teared up when the ML started weeping.
*Visuals and colour palette on point, not overly done , suits the story and plot.......after all it's not aupposed to be a high fantasy work.
*by the way Shi Ying's mother is the bosss?
