You could say it's a sad ending but with a potential for season 2 and a happy ending!! None of the male leads are confirmed dead

OMG I wish I saw your post before watching the last episode. I cried so much while trying to guess what was happening with my limited Chinese - your comment gives me hope for a better ending. Does Wan Mei know the code on the fan? She's so sad in the last scene I honestly felt like she was going to leap off the swing ...Yi Tong did a great job. Her character in the last episode is so much more wordly after all she has experienced ... if she gets another chance with Chang An she better not waste it on noble idiocy protecting other people who don't deserve her efforts!

Quality over quantity for sure. This drama is a Labour of love! When BR finishes ... Erudite do you mind making some drama recommendations?

Absolutely love your translations as always! And the song is absolutely perfect - heartbreaking sacrifice that makes so much frustrating sense. None of this noble idiocy. And I love how Wan Mei gets called out for being indecisive... i know she's trying so hard!

OMG the heartbreak is real!!!!

I kind of feel the drama will finish the same with Wan Mei not ending with either man... I'm preparing myself for TOTAL heartbreak!!!

Thank you Erudite! I have been scrolling through all the comments especially taking note of yours - I've watched the same episodes 2 - 3 times (raw and subbed on Youtube) but your comments have added so much more insight on the plot line and character motives. Do you think you would be interested in recapping the episodes via a blog?? I'm sure myself and a whole lot of the international BR fans would love it!! I'm currently going through your Youtube channel and watching the subbed previews - and omg I'm realizing that I'm missing out on so many details T_T
