A Blossoming Tale of Love, Loss, and Legacy
One of the longest dramas I’ve ever watched but also one of the most entertaining, complex, and character driven stories I’ve seen in a long time. On top of that, the OST is absolutely captivating and fits the tone of the show perfectly.
My only critique is that the last 20–30 minutes of the finale felt a bit unnecessary. I get the need to tie up loose ends, but sometimes a little ambiguity leaves a stronger impact. Then again, I tend to feel this way about most show endings I watch.
Aside from that, the show is phenomenal. I genuinely hope these two leads work together again they had such incredible on-screen chemistry and am rooting for them in their careers.
Lastly, as someone who recently read Pride and Prejudice, I’d describe this drama as “A fantastical Ancient Chinese tale where Pride & Prejudice meets Shadow & Bone.” I hope this helps lead you into watching this show!!! 🤍❤️
Tip: do not watch this show on YouTube, I did the mistake of watching the first 2 episodes there before I found other platforms to see it properly, and I noticed till after I had see it that on YouTube that it’s not in order and it omits large portions of the story that are crucial. Happy Streaming!
