A happy conclusion yet tragic
Characters:
For people not familiar with wuxia, the large cast is overwhelming but it's honestly one of the best parts of cdramas set in the jianghu. The numerous friends, mentors, loves you meet throughout the story are incredible. The ties between the previous generation and current generation in the jianghu add so much depth and meaning to this story, how the new generation will learn and correct the mistakes and injustices of the previous. I do have to say the large cast means they can kill off so many characters, the heartache of seeing one after another person die, even if its seeing their death in the past :((((
CPS the woman you are! She's so legendary, she's left her mark everywhere. Not even just her, the women of Luoying Valley. Absolutely iconic!
BRO I HATE THE FOUNDATION. WHY IS THERE NO SHADE MATCHING FOR ZHAO ZHAO, AND YOU CAN TELL THE FACE SHADE IS WHITER THAN THE NECK AND ARMS SO MANY TIMES. THE WHITEWASHING OF SKIN IS SO IRRITATING. SHE'S LITERALLY TRAVELING OUTDOORS ALL THE TIME SHE CAN BE TAN. Anyways. Moving on.
Story:
I think this story really hits on the never ending cycle of vengeance, the injustices that keep on occurring while following the status quo, and the dangers of prejudice. So often the characters are 死腦經 like can we use some critical thinking? But I think that was also the point. Everyone's so caught up in the prejudices and injustices of previous generations it just keeps going.
I would've liked a little more romance, but I also liked seeing the various storylines following all the side characters as well. ZZ and MQY were really cute. Lowkey MQY was toeing the line with how manipulative he was... but it was ok since ZZ could see through it every time and call him out for his BS and keep him in line. I so wish we got to see them traveling the jianghu after marriage.
Music:
清風醉 is such a nostalgic yet joyful song. Every time it plays, I see everyone together and happy, and yet seeing everyone together reminds me of all the people that have already left and the fleeting joy they had. Such a masterpiece of a song!
Overall, recommend for a watch! I don't understand the low rating, definitely an underrated drama.
