why the hype?

I honestly don't understand the hype. Though the story is good, you find yourself following neverending dialogues that just feel drag the action. some of the acting is very poor (ie the brother and the bad guy - totally over acted) also,awhile there were some good visual effects, other felt very poor, like if I was watching a movie from the 80s. I think it would've had more impact with only 30 episodes, not 50! some characters really annoyed me like the sister. I think the best part was when Lan Zhan gets drunk.

better than most except .

I really enjoyed the drama. Very consistent story with no sudden change in plots or overused ones. I liked that the FL is not the conventional overpowering, stubborn woman or one in name but waits for her hero to rescue her. Every single part of the story made sense. I would've given it a higher rating if it wasn't for the lousy acting of the ML. First time watching him, so I'm. not sure if he can't act or had bad direction here. Luckily the story is so good an stage other actors' work was strong enough to allow me to bypass this and keep watching.

Amazing drama

I would have rated it 10/10 it is wasn't because of that ending. I was like where's episode 25? I mean, all of episode 24 was indication of finale, every story closing, but that ending...WTF!!
this is the first drama where every single episode really delivered something great. Only at the end I forwarded some bit where they reminisce the past. Every single character was well delivered by all actors. the only one I hated was the weapons making sister, she was super annoying - I fast forwarded all her scenes.
