I love the show but I feel it's a little lacking towards the end. For starters, the show could've ended a lot sooner than it did. At least 15 episodes toward the end were unnecessary not mention it slightly ruined the story due to all the unnecessary fillers. The ending wasn't the best it is a relatively happy one for which I'm glad but the episode itself was done poorly. There's a lot of confusion as to what actually happened. The episode feels both rushed and filled with unnecessary storylines. It focused entirely too much on side characters that frankly I couldn't care less about anymore. Like Cangling- I didn't need to know how his life was 5 years later or the sideburns dude. I feel they could have used that time to properly conclude the mains' story. Moreover, I think the show relied too much on flashbacks as a form of storytelling. There were a lot of random and useless flashbacks, there were flashbacks of flashbacks that we've seen at least 5 times during the show-even the final episode was ruined by a flashback in my opinion. LC's leaving seclusion scene was completely stolen by the flashback of him going into seclusion which was something we had already assumed had happened so it was entirely unnecessary. Regardless, I enjoyed the show and the actors. The love between the 2 mains, especially of Lin Chenlan for LZ was incredible not to mention both of them are extremely beautiful. I truly recommend watching the show as although the ending is a bit lackluster, the brilliance and beauty of the story and characters makes up for it.
