Overall good drama but could've been better.

Honestly the drama started off pretty decent with a scene that caught your attention almost right away but about 10-15 episodes in, the drama kind of took a nosedive. First, it took Feng Wu the entire drama to get back what she lost in the beginning and even then, she didn't even end up doing anything that incredible with it so honestly that was kind of disappointing. They didn't really make Feng Wu out to be as powerful as she could've been. Second, Feng Wu's romance with Jun Linyuan was essentially almost non-existent because he fell for her so quickly and it wasn't really clear as to why he did lol. It seemed like he fell for her purely over the competition of winning her from Yu Mingye. I also feel bad for Yu Mingye because what he got in the end wasn't even close to what he deserved. Also, Zhao Ge was a pretty adorable character but I wish we got to see more of her romance with Xuan Yi and I wish she fought back for herself more than she actually did. Lastly, the ending.. boy that was the biggest disappointment of all. Not only was it not a happy ending but I don't really understand what happened and why it was significant enough to end the entire drama.
To sum it up in bullet points:
• Feng Wu's power in the end was disappointing.
• Feng Wu & Jun Linyuan's romance was small and fast-paced.
• Yu Mingye didn't deserve the ending he got.
• Zhao Ge was adorable but didn't stick up for herself enough.
• Not enough romance between Zhao Ge and Xuan Yi.
• The ending was not a happy ending and it was confusing.
OST: The OST was decent. There's catchier OSTs out there but this was suitable to the drama and its theme.
Acting: All the actors/actresses did decently well; enough for the drama to not feel like one of those low production dramas. Personally I think the FL & ML could've used improvement on showing their expressions in the bigger scenes but overall they were suitable to their roles.
Ending: Definitely the biggest thing that needs to be fixed. Lacked enough significance to end the drama and I'm not sure what it was supposed to show. It wasn't really the happy ending we were looking for.
Rewatch Value: Would rewatch it because there were interesting parts and I enjoyed the storyline but It'll probably be in my archives for awhile so nowhere in the near future.
