Ep 1–27 totally worth watching. Ep 28 was a letdown… and Ep 29 and the rest too.
I really like Bai Lu — her acting here was engaging and powerful. I’ve been a fan of hers since watching Story of Kunning Palace, and she truly nailed her role in Jadewind too.The story started off with a very captivating storyline. The pacing was strong, the tension built up well, and it genuinely made me look forward to each new episode.
However, things started to feel a bit forced when the emperor suddenly changed his affection and became unsupportive toward Li PeiYi. That shift didn’t feel natural to me — it lacked proper buildup.
Then came Episode 29… which felt like a major drop in quality. The male lead suddenly appeared weak and unreasonable, and the storyline felt like it was artificially pulling everything backward instead of progressing. It broke the immersion for me, and I honestly lost the motivation to continue watching.
It’s disappointing because the first 27 episodes were genuinely strong and had so much potential.
