Make sure you have tissues nearby, because this drama will make you cry non-stop.

This drama really made me want to cry 😭. What I love most is how the mystery unfolds bit by bit in every episode, instead of saving everything for the final part. The storytelling is beautifully structured, the CGI is impressive, and the costumes are absolutely stunning.

One scene that really stayed with me is when Wuyi says, ā€œDon’t cry, don’t be sad. Awu will always be with you.ā€ I loved it so much that I ended up memorizing the line in Mandarin.

As for the romance, I didn’t find the relationship between Jiling and Wuyi cringe or cheesy at all it felt genuinely sweet. Meanwhile, the relationship between Wangyuan and Shi Guang feels more mature. It’s like they still have that youthful love, but with the emotional depth of adults. It’s a bit hard to describe, but it feels more grounded and real.

And speaking of Wangyan, she really feels like the eldest sister who carries a heavy responsibility, silently holding everything together even when she’s completely broken inside.

Also… why is the villain so hard to defeat? šŸ˜‚ It’s like she/he die, come back, die again, and then come back again. Usually in cdramas, the villain is defeated once and that’s it.

In the final episode, I actually felt bad for Lijie, especially when he was searching for Jiling. As for the ending, I think it was quite satisfying a happy ending for me, even though I know some people found it sad. Yes, their memories were erased, but it still felt reasonable. So many people had already died fighting the villain, and Wuyi was never meant to survive until the end anyway. Compared to living on while remembering all that pain or losing memories, but some of them are still alive. I think the ending made sense.

Anyway, Jiling and Wuyi have become one of my favorite couples. They’ve gone through so much suffering together. Wuyi went through countless time loops just to save Jiling, and as for Jiling… no words could ever fully capture the depth of his pain, his love, and everything he’s going through.😭

Long story short, they faced countless hardships, but their relationship only grew stronger over time. I’m honestly so grateful they finally got their own ending after everything they went through even if it’s in a different universe.
