The final plot resolution is good, but it…

The final plot resolution is good, but it is very subtle and hard for a lot of viewers to understand exactly what happened with Yanhui. Things could have been clearer if she had followed up her "I'm no longer the Lady of Dark Aura" with something like "I'm now the Lady of Dragon Fire" (or golden light or whatever). Because that is what she became with her final use of the Ghost Elegy. I had to explain to others that she had the 'good' version of Dark Phantom's powers. She scattered herself across the world to save everyone and then re-incorporate eventually. All the clues were given in what she said to Tianyao, but it was a bit too subtle for a lot of viewers I talked to. I know it's a balancing act between explaining what is happening versus having a 'pleasant surprise reveal' at the end. I think the idea was sound, but the delivery was a bit awkward.Otherwise, a good wrap up to a good series.

Great plot, beautiful chemistry, nice sprinkles of humor, and right amount of angst.

I really loved the plot and the relationships between the characters. The acting was executed nicely just wish there wasn't a rushed 5-second happy ending. Would've loved to see the main couple and their friends all reunite or have a true wedding again between the two leads or at least them traveling freely and living happily like they said they wanted to. I was actually interested in the side stories and didn't skip them like I sometimes do when there's too much unnecessary drama with the side characters.
