Should have been 24 episodes

I've been so excited for this one since they released its trailer so I had high expectations for it. As I've been watching wuxia back to back, it's easy to get tired if the plot gets draggy or boring. While it's a great drama, I'll list out the reasons for my ratings.
1. They pushed most of the actions towards the end. The leads didn't even have many conversations (about 30%) compared to the side characters, meaning unnecessary screentime for supporting characters. Hence, my point is that they would have achieved the same thing with 24 episodes. I mean, they were even talking about the love story of one grandpa and one woman like that...who cares?? They also gave too much screen time to another father-daughter relationship of one of the side characters
2. From the title, you would know it was a love-hate relationship so I could understand their relationship. For me, what she made him go through seemed too much because she kept punishing him over and over again, and this was someone she loved. She plotted for years and damn she did act well in her plotting because I thought Li Qinyue wasn't her at all. She had punished him after her tribulations, locked him up for years, and after 400 years, she's still out for blood. And to top it all, the boy knew all along and kept indulging her. He never tried to hurt her, but couldn't understand why she hated him so much. That should have even made him investigate what went on in her life in the human realm, but no, he decided to do so towards the end. But like they say, the bigger the love, the deeper the hatred.
3. The Empyrean was a useless character. Only showing up to punish, but will not fight when there's a bigger evil.
4. The acting of the leads were great with the right emotions being conveyed.
Overall, the drama was good; the leads had great chemistry, and the drama did live up to its title - Feud. Because it was mainly centered around that, there were a few boring moments here and there, but watching Joseph Zhang's face for hours was a dream come true because I missed him! The kiss scene in the end did pacify things a little though....lol
