i have not started it and really want to but cheng yi has traumatised me. Does he die/everybody except him die…
One spoiler, coming up!
Well, it is Cheng Yi. I would say it's an open ending for him. There's a short episode that takes place after the main series but I've only seen it without subtitles so I have no idea what is said. However, I'm not sure I would say it's a happy ending for his character. Artistic, definitely, but not happy.
As for the other semi main/main characters, several dies during the span of the show but a few do survive.
With all this said, it is fantastically balanced and I don't think a single death was unnecessary for the progress of the story (a death is always unnecessary of course, but here it's well thought out to fit the story). It's very well done and a wild ride from start to finish. I'm usually a HE-girl and often get annoyed when characters are sacrificed for chock value but I didn't feel any of that here. I can of course not speak for everyone, but for me it was absolutely worth the emotional roller coaster to experience this series. It's not a sweet series, and it never claims to be because the pacing and grit it set right at the beginning. This is not a cozy watch, but it is heartfelt.
