Both good and bad
This series really leaves me torn. There's is a lot to like, and a lot to dislike too. in terms of the pros, I really liked the cinematography and visuals, so artistic and serene, matched by some nice music. The plot is also very intricate but with some good explanations at the very end. In terms of the cons, Esther, the FL is really not my cup of tea, and she made this worse by playing the character as a very timid person who is always speaking softly and looking at the ground. Even worse was the Zishan character who apparently is the comic relief in an otherwise very solemn feeling series. This Zishan character was so jarring and annoying that I can only compare her to the Jar Jar Binks character in the Phantom Menace. She really detracted from the story for me. The other characters were better, although Zhang Linghe as the ML is still a bit stiff, but better than his first shows. And last of all, the ending is a cliffhanger and I doubt that there is even a second season coming. Awful to leave the viewers like that.
