Simple but typical wuxia romance well done

The show was fully entertaining. Despite nothing new in terms of arcs and tropes employed in the story, there's some kudos to give to the storytelling itself, because it didn't feel pointless. I think it's because they knew they weren't creating something brand new so they didn't increase unnecessary build ups and present it like "twists", since we would all have seen it coming from a mile away. They just let it come at you at a normal pace, giving enough time for the characters to be fully understood even if they are going down well-known paths.

This worked for me, especially in the romance department. I mean, ya, there's the usual, "I am secretly dying and I won't cause you any trouble about it" but, aside from that, their love felt soft, gradual, consistently growing and I liked it. Somehow the annoying secrets didn't annoy me as much, I was satisfied by the show in all other departments, per expectation. Also I felt like the story did well in terms of cutting out any unnecessary stuff, honestly, if any other characters or side stories got even a little more screen time, it could have dragged easily. Liked the cast too.
So I consider it well done.
