the Ending was not botched up.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Legend from the start. I enjoyed the story premise, the acting, especially Xiao Yan who played two roles. (I think she is someone I will look into on other series) The acting of the leads, Xu Kai and Bai Lu were amazing. They had great chemistry together. Good enough that I watched Arsenal Military Academy just to watch them together again which was a much better series.

Even tho the series already took a dive after the thing between Zhao Yao and Qing Zhi Yan. Due to the interesting plot, I stuck with it till the end. It appeared as if they changed an editor or producer. The continuity of the series took a bad turn. I can forgive some scenes cut to another scene lacking explanation. But, I can't forgive the producers for insulting the viewer's intelligence. The series should have ended at Episode 53 as an open ending.. I usually hate open endings, but this one would save the series. The ending was so bad that the producers underestimated the viewers that we have memories of scenes they used before. They montaged over not as a memory but as a totally new scene. That to me is very lame. I felt I got played. I felt angry and betrayed. But the chemistry between Xu Kai and Bai Lu was so good that I want to watch more of them!
