Won’t say much about this drama. It could have been my favorite one… Unfortunately, the ending is too disappointing for me (and for western people I would think).
Do heroes have to die to be considered as heroes ? They can retire, can’t they ? They can live like ordinary people (AFTERWARDS !).
Another point that is annoying : romance. Several couples but too stereotyped (no surprises). The lead couple has great chemistry, unfortunately they don’t sleep together even once they are married ! Is love that dirty that it has to be just like a dream or a kind of brotherhood ? I don’t get it. Ok Chinese values have to be « clean » but the politically or ethically correct becomes a brake on fully enjoying the characters and the story.
It’s really a shame because for once the main couple is very modern, breaking traditional codes of male and female relationships, they value love whatever their background. They are so interesting as a couple but it is all wasted.
I would have loved an happy ending, at least for the main leads.
