A Guide To Happy Endings
Anyone who watches historical/xianxia/wuxia dramas knows that while they are excellent dramas more often that not they fall short of happy endings.
In this one, however, we have a full episode dedicated to just that- a nice, warm happy ending. 45 minutes of love and joy and friendships and marriage and kids. I was very pleased with that. Pleased enough, in fact, to forget all the minor issues I had with the show and give it a near perfect rating.
The story has some flaws, the writing is not perfect, the acting is mostly good but lacks a bit here and there. The music was amazing. The costuming/styling however felt off in a lot of scenes- especially for the lead guy Jiang Xu. The cut and silhouette of the robes paired with the full tied up hair looked awkward across various scenes of multiple episodes.
This is a good drama for anyone who wants more romance than political conspiracy, more 'moments' than strategies and more fun than stress. A sweet drama that suffers from the limitations of its genre and succeeds in a way none have before- by focusing more on the heroes than villains especially in the last two episodes.
