Kinara

They were both the right endings for this drama . It is not about liking or not liking and fixating on the ending just takes away from the journey

The attention to detail in this drama is so good. I am doing a rewatch

It’s the same on Viki - some people are stating the weirdest reasons to rate ot low

I hope so - I also saw that the rating should be more like 8.4 . Let’s see

All the battles were real blood baths for a change! And Duan Xu actually looked wounded and covered in blood - especially in ep 8 after his rampage! ‘With wounds on his face and blood trickling into his eyes ‘ 😂😂😂😂- very realistic for a change

Li Xun was a pretty complex character and he nailed it.

A true masterpiece!

What’s with this rating? This drama deserves way more than 8.2 .

I am on my rewatch and all I can say is that it’s totally worth it . There is something about following a beautiful story continuously. And I have discovered that ep 8 - apart from Duan Xu the assassin going amok, has the most profound dialogs in the series. Between ep 8 and 9 He Simu understands who Duan Xu really is as a person and starts admiring and respecting him. She is truly happy that he is her spell bearer and soul binder .

Wonderful summary! Yes the series did not impose that perfect ending on us but told us a story and took us on a beautiful, hopeful and extraordinary journey to discover the beauty of life all over again

This drama is hilarious! The FL is creating utter chaos on the royal family😂😂. Glad I am watching this

He has become one of my favorite cdrama actors. The acting growth and depth he has shown in every drama has been incredible. I am going back to rewatch Lighter and Princess after finishing this one

The two endings were really beautiful. On the other hand people are fixating on the ending and really forgetting how how mesmerizing this drama was

For sure . That’s what make adaptations great especially when the actors are good

Is there a new one?

I can’t imagine anyone else in these roles either . They were a perfect fit!

For example I am realizing that Han Linjiu had the same mysterious assassin aura that Duan Xu does.

The beginning actually has a lot more stuff - I feel like when you rewatch you see a lot more . And so far it’s been true

Yes they embodied their characters so well and truly brought this story alive. They made us believe and feel their emotions . We were all so invested in their story .

Same here - just started my encore! I have not moved on yet and this one definitely needs a rewatch!
