An unusual WUXIA tale .. and even more unusual handing of male and female roles .. STRONG is not a strong enough word to describe the Female leads and supporting female roles.
How well they are written /acted. Their arcs so absorbing.
The characters, small and big, ALL are filled in and not left as 2D plot aiding interjections .. The romance and attraction develops and grows and meets roadblocks that are linked to the storyline.
The politics is not ONLY as a background for the romance .. it's woven together ..
A RARE GEM of a show.
I won't rewatch FOR SURE though ;-p It's TOO healthy a dish .. next day you want to go binge on something which provide large dollop of guilty pleasures.
It would have been 9.0 if not for the lousy ending
It got me highly pissed also with this killing off each and everyone. AND truly I had no GREAT investment in Chu Yue to want to see her end the show.
AND what's with the puzzle of the final scene !! What NOW this WUXIA show turned into a XanXIA for one 30-45 seconds .. Ren Ruyi and Ning became immortals? Came back for a second cycle of life ? WHAT ?? Who is the kid?
They died. Chu Yue imagined it cuz that's the previous war-zone area.
Please put a spoiler tag .. THIS IS SADISTIC!!! Why are you giving away the end?! It'll kill the show for many viewers who might accidentally see this :-(
He is absolutely 'beautiful' I couldn't take my eyes off of him .. Esp his exquisite lips and high, taut cheekbones.
I looked him up and his life journey is salute-worthy.
EAGERLY awaiting his next show.

used sadism on the viewers.
Beautiful Story .. BUT didnt need to do this!!
I already did for a few
So pissing off.
I wasn't convinced about why "playboy" would fall for "Chu Yue".
Her line with Jiu would have been more convincing ..
Some messy pairings left me unhappy .. not to speak of everyone dying off.
WOulnt it have more sense to see Ying and Jiu in the end?

My heart broke watching him pine for his ONE and ONLY love
This was so thoughtless .. you are talking about the last scene without a SPOLER TAG??
Outstanding Indeed .. But have pity on the audience .. This was BRUTAL!!
The show didnt work for me because EVERYONE DIED!!!
Cummon!
Even GOT didn't KILL off everyone .. and that was ONE CLASSIC BRUTAL show!!
THIS IS SADISTIC!!!
Why are you giving away the end?!
