The terrible aftertaste - A fantastic drama ruined by the ending
A wonderful drama, absolutely ruined by the ending.
This was a gripping drama from the beginning... Full of well written fantasy stories one enjoyed getting into.
I was really into the FL, who despite limited capacity shined throughout the show. She was a normal girl of her time who wanted a good life, she didn't seek out to be a heroine and yet, when faced with situations which are extraordinary, she faced them with resilience, wit and courage. The actor playing Duan Banxia had such a range of emotions.... Just lovely.
The last two episodes basically ruin the show. It really felt like a betrayal for the viewers to have the leads not end up together. If you can stomach a romance where the leads don't end up together, please go ahead and watch it. Otherwise, maybe still watch for the fantasy without caring about the romance.
