I regret watching Legend of Fei. The storyline is repetitive and frustrating, with everything revolving around the female lead’s grandfather. Every episode keeps bringing him up, and the excessive flashbacks (almost 80% of the drama) make it feel like nothing actually progresses.

The female lead is overly praised, but her character feels unearned. She gets power and recognition mostly because of her grandfather, not her own growth. Her acting is just average.

The biggest issue is how the male lead was treated. He was introduced as smart and mysterious, but turned out completely useless. Even after being revealed as an emperor, he shows no responsibility while his army fights for him. Instead of contributing, he just follows the female lead around. This was a waste of Wang Yibo’s potential, especially when side characters had more impact than him.
This drama highlights a problem I see in many female-lead-centered stories—they weaken the male lead unnecessarily. I rarely see male-lead-centered dramas doing this to female leads, so it’s frustrating.

Overall, this drama is disappointing, repetitive, and poorly balanced. Not worth the hype.
