Right up there with ALP for the best drama of the year. The acting of the main leads is heartbreaking, the writers and director were phenomenal in not wasting a single moment of this perfect tragedy.
This won’t change your opinion. Most people are stubborn with their opinion and I do too so I understand. This…
Now contrast that with ML trying to win FL for years knowing she loved some one else. The FL barely tried and gave up after listening to someone else.
It felt jarring and out of place since the same FL does not give up on her first love so easily. It's the fault of the writers for being lazy & came up with this convoluted line.
best would have been they go their separate ways, since the writers decided for happy ending, they should not have been lazy about it.
That you get your love by doing nothing and just sitting around is absolutely shitty and lazy writing in my opinion.

thats why I said it's lazy writing.
They should have just made the FL and ML go and find someone else as lovers. At episode 32, this would have made perfect sense.
Since they end up getting together, the way they went about it, it's just did not make sense.
Regarding ML bullying etc etc, we viewers know exactly what happened and how ML helped her just being with her when she was hurting from her first love. ML was in love with her and still stood with her through her pain. From ML POV, he had it worse than FL since the girl he loved was crushing on some one else and he had to be there to help her with it. can't imagine a worse scenario.
Considering the viewers know all these facts, do you think how the writers about the ending makes sense? ML lead did all her could to earn his love, when nothing worked, he left. Now the arc should have been how the FL goes about showing ML she loves him. That did not happen. FL in the end just gets the ML....by doing nothing and staying where she is.

I was criticizing the writers.
It was pretty good until the last few episodes, just when FL starts getting a grip on her feeling for ML, the writers took the lazy root - which in turn did FL a disservice. The route should have been how FL "actively" goes on about confronting her feelings for ML and make decision, instead the forced separation leads to a FL doing nothing, being "passive" and just waiting(?) for ML - hence my point about lazy writing.
They separate for significant amount of time, yet, the ML returns to the same old feelings and the FL just passively be there. just plain cliched and lazy writing.
It did not convince me why FL deserved the ML at all. The only thing she had to do was 'chose' the ML and got him on a platter just for choosing, that's absolutely lazy writing, especially after what ML went through for years.
My 2 cents:This is really good, Xianxia lovers should definitely check this out. Even otherwise, it's a good drama,…
The FL was very good. This drama required lot of acting chops. Getting a prettier face (FL was very pretty anyway) might have backfired if the acting did not suit the role.
Why do FL turn into disgusting piece of crap in so many Cdramas?
Are we supposed to find the FL sympathetic? She went from manipulative to outright disgusting. The 2FL is much better in every sense than the FL. Considering the crap FL pulled, the ML at this point should put her out of her misery and settle with 2FL.
This is probably an unpopular opinion but I really don't understand the high score and praise for this drama.…
Cold ML in Cdramas is the norm.
Male Leads in in most Cdramas are same - Cold, detached, never had a relationship before FL, does not look/talk/touch girls. Or As I call them Eunuch leads of Cdramas.
The Female leads fare much better, they have wide variety & in this drama we have a immature one and that was fine with me.
What I could not stand though was how bland the ML came across and how I felt as if I have seen the same Male Lead in 10 other dramas this year.
I don't consider fl mary sue, guess our definition is different. She was kind of childish, and easily influence…
No one is talking about dating,
It's about ML reaction and interaction to girls - you can be attracted to girls, react to girls and have crush on them without dating them. Well, ML has none of them, in fact his reaction & interactions to girls are bizarre and not something a straight guy would do.

you just made my case for why FL should have ignored her ex. If ML did it not to give false hope, the FL should as well. Whether that ex is drunk or not is moot. He was doing fine for years getting drunk by himself. he did not need the FL to babysit him and take him around drunk. Again, it's a trope used by the author to show how cool the FL lead but frankly girls like that come across as a bit stupid.
And the drama has ML and FL dating while they are still professional players, competing for championship at the highest level. The author uses that professional players as a trope to say why dating is not preferable & then does a 180 degree turn to have the leads dating.
ML has a law degree, he has been to a college, high school etc. We don't see anything from POV regarding the women in his life that led to his decision to his dating preferences. We do see FL POV as to why she reached her decision regarding her ex and the current love interest. So, lack of any POV from ML & the flash back of his is with his Korean male buddy makes the whole thing ridiculous.
That's why the point of ML being a Eunuch or reaching Puberty when he meets the FL. It's not me saying it, it's the Author of his drama who is saying it by how they designed the ML.

just plain cliched and lazy writing.
We the viewers know the truth and where the ML and FL stand,
The viewers know the misunderstandings the true intentions & actions of each character.
Nothing wrong in how the writers went about the ending, it was just cliched and lazy.

Early into the drama & I can see ML getting heart ache.
The ML was absolute simp in the first arc.
the last couple of episodes at times were a bit flat since they had to close the main plot.
The leads were fantastic and cute.

There isn't a therapist in the world who can cure Duan Yu's trauma.
Poor guy, every girl he touches is turning into his sister.
This drama was beyond disgusting towards the end.
FL stabs her lover,
elopes with brother of her lover,
They both have a small fling,
And then she returns back to her lover.
That's bloody incest at that point.
Anyway, I was nitpicking.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, great story line, lots of fun.
