Not done watching, but a minor complaint
For the most part, I think this series is great. The main characters have great chemistry. The supporting characters also mesh well. The storyline is great. My one small complaint is actually pretty common in a lot of these dramas. I think it's gross when they make a female student fall in love with their master. For one, the student/teacher relationship is already questionable. However, it's worse when the teacher raised their student because they're much older and have assumed a parental role. In this case, Ming Xiu fell in love with Gu Han Jiang and even though he never outright reciprocated, you can clearly tell he feels the same. She was literally a child when they met and he was already a man. For me, it's just gross when an adoptive parent falls in love with their adoptive child and vice versa. Pedo, anyone? These dramas need to stop romanticizing these type of relationships. Just because they aren't blood related, doesn't mean it's not gross.
