Just watch and keep watching

This drama has a very beautiful story line but be prepare for tissue has I cried my eyes out at some parts of the drama. At first when I started watching the drama, I couldn't get into it, but after the 3rd or 4th eps, I couldn't stop watching and binge it.

With Yang Mi being the FL as Fang Hai Shi/Ye Hai Shi and William Chan, ML as Fang Zhu/Fang Jian Ming. I would say its a perfect couple.

This drama is not just about romance but mixed with very good martial arts scene, and of course story line. Hai Shi is a female but pretends to be a male 90% of the drama. As Fang Zhu/Fang Jian Ming manages Jifeng Pavilion to protect Emperor Xu. Hai Shi slowly develops feelings for Jian Ming, who is her master. She is pushed away and is feeling abandoned by him as Jian Ming and Emperor Xu has a baixi. (Baixi is explain later on in the story) Jian Ming had made an oath to protect Emperor Xu and doesn't want to love as he could die anytime due to the baixi. Hai Shi then decides to leave the city and go north to guards the boarder and is away from Jian Ming. Whenever Jian Ming hears something goes wrong or when Hai Shi is in danger or gets hurt, he goes out of his way to save her and protect her. The relationship with them is a roller coaster. The ending could have ended with ep 46, but they couldn't as we didn't know who the mastermind was and it was explained in 47 & 48.

There was parts of the drama that could have been explained better or not cut out as it wasn't explained well, like the cliff part (won't spoil more than I have) and of course in the ending. Which makes me so mad of how they ended it as it didn't need to have so many flashbacks throughout the whole drama or shortened the flashback as there was too many/too long. But honestly, no wuxia drama has a happy ending.

The OST can be listen to over and over again as Zhang Bi Chen - 鐫刻 (Engraved) for opening OST, as we know Zhang Bi Chen (Diamond Zhang) is known in most OST dramas as we all love her songs. As for Zhou Shen - 以無旁騖之吻 (Undisturbed kiss ) ending OST and it is just so good and calming like her 大魚 (Big Fish).

Favourite quotes:
"They all say that when people are dying, they will see the most cherished people in this life. I didn't believe it at first, but it turned out to be Master, the person I love. So, although not reconciled, but also feel no regrets" - Hai Shi
「他們都說人在彌留之中,會看到此生最珍惜的人。我原是不信的,可是原來是師父呀,是我所愛之人。如此,雖不甘心,但也覺得沒有遺憾了。」 - 海市


"How could I not like you, no one knows how much I cherish you" - Fang Zhu/Fang Jian Ming
「我怎麼會不喜歡你, 沒人知道 ,我有多珍愛你。」- 方諸/方鑒明

“I’ll find my true love and never be apart” - Zhou You Du
「願得一人不相離。」- 週幼度

"I have no regrets. I want to tell Master that what I have experienced today is unique to others. Meeting Master is one of the few blessings in my life. I don't regret meeting you, before, now, and in the future, I will never regret meeting you" - Hai Shi
「我不後悔,我想跟師父說,我今日的遭遇與人無尤,遇見師父,是我今生中少有的幾件幸事。我不後悔遇見你,從前、而今、往後,我永遠都不後悔遇見你。」- 海市


"I do have a person in my heart, and I hope to spend the rest of my life with her in a boat on the river and sea." - Fang Zhu/Fang Jian Ming
「我心裡確實有一個人,我希望可以跟她泛舟江海,共度餘生。」- 方諸/方鑒明


"In the past, I only wanted to read and spend my life with you, Qing Gengyu, and only cared about my own happiness. I realized today that you will no longer be the Ching Hai Gong of the Liu Shan Fang clan, and you will no longer be able to mobilize the Jifeng Pavilion. You can't even go back to the temple to worship your ancestors, you really paid too much for me." - Hai Shi
「我以前只想著和你晴耕雨讀、共度一生,只顧著自己高興了,我今日才意識到,你以後再也不是流觴方氏的清海公,也沒辦法再調動霽風館暗衛營了。甚至你都不能回廟堂中祭拜自己的祖先,你為我真的付出太多了。」- 海市


"In the past, I refused to let go because I wanted to atone for the mistakes I made. Without you, Majesty and I will only be tied together for a lifetime, and we will embark on a life without end. But you showed up and let me know that there are other options in life, I've never tried to live so easily and happily" - Fang Zhu/Fang Jian Ming
「從前的我不肯放手,是想贖清我犯下的錯誤。如果沒有你,我跟陛下只會沉重的綁著一輩子,走上沒有終結的一生。但你出現了,讓我知道人生還有另外的選擇,我從來沒有試過像現在過得這麼輕鬆和快樂。」- 方諸/方鑒明


"How great it would have been if you had appeared during the best years of my life." - Fang Zhu/Fang Jian Ming
「如果你在我最美好年華的時候出現,該有多好。」- 方諸/方鑒明
