Like the sugar art Zi Lan received - beautiful yet weak
I enjoyed watching this series though at times the political plot got in the way of the core of the story - the characters!
Some episodes went on and on and just became very boring. Though the series started off strongly, it couldn't retain its momentum at the end. Frankly, it could've cut down on like 3 episodes.
It was also a pity that some characters remained mysteries until the final episodes :( - looking at you yin xiang!!!!
And then there was the unnecessary death of multiple lovable side characters for shock value. Not very original. The ending lacked a good conclusion and felt rushed which really messed up the whole watch experience for me. I don't see how this is an 8.6 series.
The cinematography was beautiful and the fighting choreography was also great but it felt like it was just there to be pretty and didn't add a ton of value to the overall story.
All in all, it was an okay series, but don't expect too much as it collapses on its own at the end.
