Actually, my problem with the ending is that it was unrealistic, just because it wasn't a fairy tale ending doesn't…
I totally agree, the ending is really "balanced": it followed the realistic tone presented throughout the drama, but also gave us hope. It was exactly this message that the end left for me: nothing is guaranteed, we can fail, but we must keep trying and not give up. :)

We had different points of view. :)
For me, the ending was realistic in its own way, if they had finished with the typical end of fairy tales that most people always expect in dramas (together, marriage, happily ever after), that would have been unrealistic. Or, Yu Huai super successful and Geng Geng trying to adjust professionally, this would have been unrealistic.
I found the ending was realistic, and above all hopeful, but not with a fanciful feeling that everything would work out, but rather that they would try, as indeed is life: we live trying, without the certainty of tomorrow and that everything will give right.
I did not see Geng Geng become a "superstar," she just got a job as a photographer in a famous magazine. It would have been much more unrealistic if she had managed to pass the Film Academy that she auditioned during high school. The drama does not show her as an "above average" worker. In the end, she returned to her hometown, opened a small photography studio to do what she loved, this for me was to end up as a "common and modest" worker.
The Yu Huai was not portrayed as a "loser", only showed that his future was not how he was architected during high school, taking into account the ego and intelligence he possessed. In the end, he still managed to get into the university he wanted, but gave up because of his mother's illness, and then went to study in the United States.I did not see him as a loser in any moment, he just faced challenges and had to learn to deal with failures, something in which he was not good in the past and became clear during high school.
This is the life: I know several people who were always first class during high school, but did not necessarily have a promising future, and I also know the reverse situation. I do not mean by that the story was completely realistic, there are plots of unreality, which is something common in a drama, but mostly I felt connected, nostalgic about how it was my own high school and I identified myself with various situations portrayed.
About Lu Xing He, he was not only a "persecutor for years", first of all, he was a close friend to Geng Geng, and someone who helped her to understand and find out what she really wanted out of life.
With You has a very nice feeling of nostalgia, it reminded me of my high school days. At the same time, it brings very realistic portions of this phase of life, full of uncertainties, confused feelings, fear of choices and how they will affect our future. Honestly, I do not understand the critics about the ending or the few scenes of romance between the protagonists. The writing is wonderful, with tones of reality, but if there is not much romance and a fairy tale ending, most people judge all the quality of the story.
The relationship of the protagonists is beautiful because it shows the importance of the simple everyday gestures that one makes when one likes and cares very much for the other. They have several wonderful scenes in which they show concern, care, and that encourage each other in their worst moments. There are also many interesting dialogues between the two. I loved the drama, from beginning to end.
Can you give me the final spoiler, please? How did the protagonists end?
It was a totally open end, with several unanswered questions and important characters that did not even appear in the last episode.
I believe that the production has already recorded the drama in the intention to venture a sequence, otherwise, I can not understand anything. I'm very keen for a season 2, but only with the same actors and continuing the story. Unfortunately, given how some of the actors are very famous and busy these days, my hopes that production will bring them together for a sequel is rather small.

I just saw the raw of epi 75 and the end is completely open. This part that you commented from Sheng encountering Pan Xi, Han Jiang returning from exile and joining forces with Sheng to expel his uncle, does it really happen in the book?
I am loving the story so far, one of the best things in the drama is the bromance between the brothers Ping Jing and Ping Zhang, I love the relationship of trust and support that both have! <3
I have just watched the episode 43 and .... am I the only one annoyed to death with shaofeng he ye ? He is just…
I agree, I'm also in episode 43 and getting more and more annoyed. The more I watch, the more irrational I find Shuofeng's actions. I mean, come on, when he was young, his tribe destroyed another in the silence of the night, without giving any chance of defense, only to steal land and cattle. He even killed the girl's boyfriend in front of her.
Now an adult, he seems not to have evolved, remains as impulsive and arrogant as when he was young. He has a great hatred and desire for revenge against Muru and Muyun, but joins a terrible clan like Helan, who destroys the own people of Han province, kills women, children, the elderly and was responsible for the rape and death of your wife? I can not understand the logic of this character.
I was very annoyed when he lied and handed the iron bearer's sword to a bloodthirsty man as is the leader of the Helan clan. I'm trying to understand what morality Shuofeng has to talk about the actions of Muru and Muyun. To me, they are all in the same boat, in pursuit of their own interests and power. Shuofeng thinks that he is better than the people he hates, but he is not, after all, two mistakes do not make one right. This is why I am discouraged that from epi 38, the drama seems to focus almost exclusively on the core of Shuofeng.
I feel the same Han Jiang's story has the opposite problem, good characters, good story, lots of potential, but…
I very much agree with your analysis. I know the three characters suffered a lot, but among all, I always thought Sheng was the most pitiful and sad. He never had real love from anyone in the family, friends or even freedom, things that Han Jiang and Shuofeng had, whether on a larger or smaller scale.
That's why I have a high sense of protection over Sheng's character, my will is to be able to protect him from the world and give him a little feeling of happiness. Although I am prepared for a tragic ending, considering my experience with the historical CDramas, I still want to delude myself that there will be love and peace in Sheng's future.

I'm a fan of the work of actor Shawn Dou and I like Han Jiang, he's my favorite character along with Sheng. However, his pairing with Su Yuning does not get my attention, I'm not a big fan of the couple, I'm more interested in the development of the character of HJ. For me, the most attractive of the drama is the friendship of Sheng and Han Jiang and how both in the furuto will deal with their families and the prophecies. I also think that I am part of the minority, because I see most prefer the Shuofeng, while I can not relate to this character in any way.
I agree, he also has a share of guilt in the misfortunes that have occurred to his family. Her young version was too arrogant and impulsive and contributed to what happened.
But he is not self-conscious, instead of acknowledging this, he directed all his anger toward others, some even without any fault in the events, like Sheng and Hanjiang. Instead of confident, I see him more as a cocky person. I do not see him as a leader, at least not to rule the world. There is nothing in the character that captivates me, for me they are the most annoying parts of the drama.
SFHY - Too barbaric/too crudeMYS - Too spoiled/too civilizedMRHJ - Too aloofWhich quality will make the best King?…
I like the characters of Sheng and Han Jiang too much, but for the position of emperor I have always believed that the most appropriate is Han Jiang. Among the three, what I find less appropriate is the Shuofeng, he may be good at leading his tribe, but I do not see him with qualities to rule and be king.

I would love to be able to read the book.
