Overall decent but could have had improvement

Overall I liked this drama, I felt it was worth that I watched it. I liked the Male and Female lead. But I do feel like the writing and directing could have some improvement. I almost wonder if they spent too much of their energy thinking about the outfits rather then the story. There are some wonderful outfits and the devil realm is very pretty. A lot of the aesthetics are beautiful. I honestly hope we will continue to have some more of this magical world and that the stories will start to improve.

An example of the writing and directing I'm referring to-
I can accept that the ML had a dilemma where he was told he had to kill his true love, or all living beings would suffer and be killed. But I feel like they did not give us enough time to focus on his internal conflict. He just sheds some tears before he is about to kill her. And then they gave us too much fillers about the side character Yi'er who is sad about the demon lord's death, even giving her a new admirer. There aren't even that many episodes to this show. So I feel they did not use the time of the show as well as they could have. it would be better if we had some more build up to certain events such as Yan Yue having to kill his true love, to make them feel more genuine. Considering the filler they maybe could have even made a longer "happy ending"

it also feels like sometimes side characters are seen as expendable in the shows. Not one side character had a happy ending. they even kill the wolf princes wife while she's pregnant to really rub it in. If the "happy ending" was longer and they go back in time and everything's fixed and everyone's happy, it could have potentially felt more complete.
