Great show, definitely worth watching!
Haven’t done many reviews on MDL, so be warned, there are spoilers!!!
This was such a wonderful show! it currently ranks top 2 for me so far this year. I loved the acting from both leads, they were phenomenal. The angst is the story felt real and justified. The dilemma between Cai Zhao picking her family over Mu Chingyan was so well done, and the fact she may still pick MCY in a life or death situation was very apparent. Even if it seemed like Cai Zhao was never chasing Mu Chingyan, I like the fact they made her say it herself. She admits that she could not do as much for MCY as he has done for her. But at the end of the day, both their love runs deep.
Maybe I’m just stupid, but I didn’t quite catch why Mu Chingyan persisted to practice the Ziwei method? I mean, I just think that he gave up because of Cai Zhao, but I guess he was so persistent because he wanted the Li Sect to unify with the others without facing prejudice?
oh my days, the last episode was a rollercoaster. I fully believed TWICE that Mu Chingyan was dead for. I was throwing my laptop and everything, but I’m glad it ended the way it did. Even though something felt missing by the end. Maybe it’s just the way c-dramas are, but all the blood spitting and being throw around, all of that just for them to recover fully felt a teeny bit unrealistic. For a good minute I thought the happy ending was just a dream, or the afterlife after MCY died and maybe Cai Zhao ended her life too...
but I prefer happy endings so let’s not go there!
