Good drama, confusing ending with no closure.

For one, I sincerely hope that there's a season 2 for this drama else this really feels like an incomplete story.

Story: The story was good overall, the sub plots were nicely resolved. But I can't say the same about the main plot. (Read the ending of the review). Some questions that I still have is what happened to the real Feng Wu, did she actually die? if she really died, then after Feng Wu left, the person just disappears from that world? And also what happened to Mu Jiuzhou after he gave all his spirit energy to Jun Linyuan, did he become a normal human when he picked FL up in the end and what was his actual story, I'd really like to know more about him? Would've been better if we knew the actual origin of the fake Feng Wu.

Characters and acting: I'll start with the one that I loved most, Yu Mingye. He was an all round really tragic character, he saved the day more times than he was given credit for just because he wasn't the hero. He deserved a lot better than what he got and no character probably loved Feng Wu more than him. Then onto my next favorite, Mu Jiuzhou. Though he slept mostly, the times when he appeared were especially appealing to me, although I felt that his feelings were kinda ambiguous in everything..probably because even though he was an important character not much emphasis was given on him and his life or background. Feng Xun was a fun character. Zuo Qingluan was kinda dumb and she was evil only to Feng Wu out of her jealousy and greed. I hated that Holy Queen b more than anyone else. Jun Linyuan felt like an ordinary guy to me. And I really shipped Feng Wu with Yu Mingye more than him. I just couldn't see any chemistry between them, i don't know why.. probably I'm the only one with such opinion. Throughout I kept feeling that it was his one sided love for her and she doesn't care much about him. FL's acting was good for the most part but her expressions in her portrayal of love for ML was really bad, like there was no emotion. ML's acting was good as always and his expressions were never void. The characters were also mostly well written and well acted out.

Others: The music was really soothing and good. The sets and clothes were beautiful. Action scenes were good. The production was great overall.

Ending: Bad guys got what they had coming, secondary couple stayed together. I guess this was supposed to be an open ended drama from the final words of the FL so the 2nd season has slim chances although I do hope for one. A lot of questions were left unresolved for me but I had a good time watching it. A little more hint to the ending could've helped. I imagined what happened to the other characters by myself. Overall I liked it.
I'd recommend watching this if you have good creative imagination because you have to imagine the ending by yourself because there was zero closure.
