Yi Dao Feng Yue (2025)

This is a hidden gem, but they messed up the ending

At 24 episodes and eight minutes each I really wasn’t expecting much but it really is fantastic except for the ending.
Every single person in this drama has a purpose and you are very clear on their motivations for doing what they do.

It’s low budget, but the cast and the acting is fantastic. The music is poignant and moving and relevant to the scenes and I really enjoyed it except for the ending.

The problem with this drama and why I couldn’t give it a 10 is because even though I understood our FL’s motivations in killing the ML. She should’ve had the same energy for revenge against the Emperor who ultimately was a decision maker in the ML going to war against her state.

She was even best buddies with the Emperors son and plotting against the ML even though he is arguably as culpable as the ML in the destruction of her family and country folk.

So while her motivations were probably correct they were also badly misplaced because if she’s gonna take revenge on the ML, she should’ve taken revenge on everyone but all she did in the end was kill the ML, found out he was her long lost sweetheart who actually saved her seniors and elders rather than executing them and then she just walked away….🤷🏾‍♂️

We never got the sense that she felt the gravity of her decision. I don’t expect her to have any regret, but she didn’t seem to contemplate that maybe she chose the wrong path where our male lead in his letter took accountability for all his actions.

It was all rather disappointing and felt really flat because she took all her revenge on one person who was very much a small cog in the machine that was the Liang state.

Unsatisfying to be honest.
