I loved watching this series except for the latter part. Yes, it was a sad ending but they had to dumb down Yu Xi Gu's character. He was supposed to be a strong, smart, independent person from the very start. Both Wayne Song and Huang Juan Zhi were great though.
I realized that the best scenes are in the first few (1-3) episodes. Things went "too well" after despite some questions left unanswered or I've become more interested in complicated storylines :/
