"Heaven Never Shuts All Doors"
Generation to Generation is a decent wuxia drama that explores how the older generation's decisions shape the fate of those who come after them. One of the more interesting aspects of the story is how the past constantly influences the present. The conflicts, grudges, and unresolved mistakes of the previous generation create the world that the younger characters must navigate. Watching the younger generation slowly uncover what really happened in the past and deal with the consequences of it is one of the strongest parts of the drama.
However, it became predictable really fast. How many times are we going to get the same cycle of Mu Qingyan scheming, followed by Cai Zhao figuring it out and explaining to the audience what he did?
Overall, having watched many wuxia dramas, it is one of my favorite genres. A lot of the reason it feels predictable is that the plot points and twists have already been done before.
It is still a good watch, but nothing particularly remarkable.
Also, if only Cai Ping Shu had realized to give up all her Qi and get poison beforehand, she wouldn't have died from using disintegration. Like, I'm all for happy endings, but can we not make it a voiceover of O, he got lucky, and he didn't die 'cause "we want a happy ending so he gets to live!"
