I agree this drama is an all-round great drama with a warm ending. One of my favorites that definitely goes into the re-watch category- and I don't usually rewatch anything :D
I'm at ep 27 . I've been wanting to say that for some reason since ep 3 I've been very suspicious of Xiao Mu En. I'm thinking he's the infamous Lao A. XD
So I wanted to come write this when I was watching ep 38, but then forgot because I was so engrossed in finishing the series. And now I remembered again what it was I wanted to say XD It's about white clothings. They look marvellous and all, but I can't help it when I see people wearing white and doing things that will dirty it. Ep 38 starting around min 25: 26 Tian Yao and YanHui hugged and she was rubbing her face onto his white robe. All I can think of was, well, there goeshis white clothes. Lol! Sure enough at min 25:41 you can clearly see her red and pink make up stains on the robe of his upper chest area LMAO! If you're wondering why I'm kind of obsessed with this, it's because I've unintentionally done the same thing to a friend's white suit before, and I was just so horrified it happened that I guess I've made a mental note to be really careful about it in the future. So guys and girls, gotta be extra careful with white. LOL!
Erm, for sure this isn't your typical drama. I'm not quite warmed up to it yet. I guess there's a reason it's called a fable, definitely gives off that type of vibe -- oddly sinister, like evil being wrapped up in superfluous sugar and sparkles. XD Reminds me of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.
The actors were fairly good, but the series feels like it's done amateurishly - felt like I was watching something like a play. You know, that feeling when you're aware that everyone is acting out a story XD . One part I find very starkly funny is when they add sound effects that were out of place. This happened a few times with creaking door sounds that were more like something they'd play at an old haunted house kind of setting. lol! Also, I'm a fan of romance and I wish they'd addressed this in the end instead of giving hints of a budding interest between the two but leaving that part hanging in the end. Anyway the story had enough potential. It's an okay watch, not necessarily bad.
1. Gu Meng's head must've been made out of steel considering the many traumas to the head she's written to have and yet still came out alive and well and the end . Lolz!
2. At the end things were just so messed up that I did wish they all just die and that will be a good enough ending for me, but they decided to add the last death defying scenes XD .
3. But you know, If they were to meet again 2 years later at the end there, who's to say she's not going to repeat everything again if no one clears up her misundertanding towards Hongye? LOL! It's tiring just imagining this "circle of love".

Overall a pretty good watch.
