While I have my own critique about the decisions of the last round of, probably ten last episodes, when it comes to the script's timeline, I have to say that last scene saved it with the meaning of a great journey. Sometimes stories are for the characters themselves, and Zang Hai's journey deserved that change of pacing in his own life.

A taste of happiness, and melancholy, an usual feeling in cdramas, that I personally vibe with.
A series that had me on the edge of my seat every two episodes, it's not something that usually happens.

There's a scene of more or less ten minutes that barely had spoken words, with Zang Hai planning and plotting, focused in the Gui Seal, as a prior action scene. And I was thinking, if this series was a western production, instead of ten minutes, that scene would have lasted barely five seconds. So I can't stop thinking about how chinese series really put emphasis on the art, all that craft would've gone to waste in tv series that have no idea how to write nor to respect an audience. So I hope chinese productions always keep their craft chinese, and focused on the art of making, and always keep the craft above hegemonic hypes. Culture is beautiful when it's not invisible.

The cast, the craft, the direction, wonderful.
