Amazing fantasy-historical drama
Let me start by saying that I'm not typically a fan of fantasy historical dramas, but this one has truly changed my perspective. It made me realize that even in the realm of fantasy historicals, there’s a unique charm and storyline that can fully captivate an audience.
One of the strongest aspects of the drama is the cast. The actors were perfectly chosen for their roles. For example, Feng Chang in a positive role and Feng Ju as the antagonist—if their roles were swapped, the dynamic of the story would have been completely different, and I don’t think the drama would have had the same impact. Another highlight is the costumes. The wedding dress was absolutely stunning, and I couldn’t help but wish I had worn something like that on my own wedding day. :)
However, there were a few aspects of the story that felt unfinished. Several characters, such as Feng Chang, the former lord of Yongzhou, Bai Langhua, and Lanxi, were left with unresolved fates. It felt like these storylines were left for the audience to figure out, which was a bit unsatisfying. It would have been great to see more closure, especially with the sacred jade plotline. If they had included one more episode, they could have shown Feng Lanxi surviving and ruling the world alongside Huang Chao, which would have added a powerful conclusion. The death of Pu'er was heart-breaking that I cried for hours :(
Anyway, this drama is a must watch and mark my words you will love it :)
