When I got into cdramas in 2018, I got a huge stock of dramas to watch and fantasy was my favorite type of dramas to watch. I think after 4 years, We are seeing quite a few similar style dramas now. This drama gives me the vibe of a 2014-15 fantasy drama vibe. The overly sad and hopeless feeling is not something we were seeing in 2017-2020 dramas.
This dramas biggest positive was ; after watching a few episodes I wanted to see the ending and whatever it will be okay for the main leads. It was somewhat enjoyable though not the best. Atleast I discovered Li YiFeng. I am quite enjoying him.
Cons : Choppy editing, too much focus on villainish characters. Honestly I hated that Yu Huan. So irritating. The female lead is known to many if you watched ashes of love. She really wasn't the best choice for the female lead. Li YiFeng and her chemistry took a long time to take off.
Also that sad ending was so unnecessary.
Anyway there wasn't a good fantasy drama after ancient love poetry. So I still enjoyed it. This drama probably won't have any positive feedback overtime. And it's the producers and writers fault.
Please stop making sad ending dramas. One and only was sad too but that one felt more real. This one was sad just for the sake of being sad
