From the beginning, i already expected a bittersweet ending because the core conflict of the story, ending the dispute between Demons and Humans, felt almost impossible to resolve without sacrifice. So if they succeeded, i knew it wouldn’t come with a fully happy ending.
That said, episode 38 still raised my hopes, especially when Ao Hen nearly defeated Lord Bing Zhu, the main antagonist. For a moment, it really felt like things might turn out better. By episode 39, the sadness started sinking in, and by the first half of episode 40, my heart was already aching. The second half of the finale completely broke me. I tried convincing myself that this ending was expected, and still failed to hold back tears.
The CP in this drama unfortunately didn’t work and they failed to create chemistry so the romance here is off and disappointed because in xianxia dramas if the plot is messed the romance and chemistry is what saves the show...
That said, there are things also i didn’t like:
Dali’s character was disappointing. She had the potential to be a true friend to Xiao Yao, but instead chose betrayal just to be “perfectly beautiful” in the Realm of Mist and Void. I honestly expected Dali and Xiao Yao to reunite at the end, and it was sad that they never did.
The bittersweet and open ending left me conflicted. It was emotional, and the behind-the-scenes clips helped ease the pain a little, but I’m still confused about why Xiao Yao chose that specific memory to return to. Since she mentioned having another request, I assume she had her reasons, but the ending still felt unsatisfying and has no sense. It was also clearly rushed. The sudden handling of Pianpian’s fate, and Tan’er ending up in Pianpian’s body all felt abrupt and poorly explained...
The things i liked are solely the cgi and beautiful clothes.
