My genuine small review of *The Spring of Blade* is that it was SO good. The first 20 episodes really kept me hooked, and I was genuinely enjoying the chemistry and everything. But idk why, the last 10 episodes were just so-so. It was mostly unnecessary drama and rage-baiting.

I’m not offended that they actually gave Qingru’s character a happy ending too. She was spoiled because of her mom, and she wasn’t really the villain. She only hated the FL because her Chunzhi gege liked the FL, and honestly, that whole thing was somehow realistic. But damn, the last 10 episodes were SO draggy. It even made me question what happened to Shen Che and that girl who was with him (I forgot her name 😭). I thought they were going to show some romantic spark between them, but nothing happened. Okay, that’s not really a bad thing tho, but I skipped SO many parts of the last 10 episodes because of how draggy it got. 😭

I’m honestly kinda disappointed because I loved both leads, and XZX is one of my favorites. Bai Shu too — bro has been in SO many dramas from 2025 to 2026. Almost every drama I’ve watched since 2024 somehow has him in it 😭 hardworking fr.

Anyways, everything else was fine. The first 20 episodes were genuinely so good, though. 🫠
