Beautiful Tragedy
Likes
1. Gah!! I couldnt stop crying in the last 3 episodes! 😠I just feel bad Zhousheng Chen and Shiyi never saw each other for the last time.
2. This story started slow, I almost dropped at episode 6 but glad I listened and kept on watching. The romance starts around ep 10 and the politics intensifies around ep 16.
3. Zhousheng Chen and Shiyi's forbidden love was heartbreaking! They never even held hands or kissed or confessed their love, but every gaze and every tear showed how much they long for each other and wished that things were different. The Huan Yu asked ZS if he regrets his vow. But he said every decision he made was worth it. Bailu cried so prettily.. when she hugged him because she was getting married to the Prince, when she found out his death, and when she jumped to her own death ðŸ˜
4. I also loved the story between Cui Feng and General Hong, when Gen Hong cried as Cui Feng marries the Princess Xinghua, when she almost had to kill Cui Feng, and Cui Feng crying when General Hong was killed. Yup. Lots of deaths in this drama!!
5. Other characters I liked were Xiao Yan (the monk), Prince Pingqin, Huan Yu (played cupid) and Gen Chou. I love everyone in the Western State. The whole Nanchen army were so loyal and dedicated to ZSC. It's so unfair ZSC had to die of dismemberment 😵
6. The ost was also fantastic and really fit the story and scenes.
Dislikes
1. Several plotpoints in the earlier parts that were boring. They kept introducing new characters i sometimes dont remember who is who, which side they were on and why they were fighting.
2. I hated the empress dowager and pushing her off the lake to drown wasnt enough to punish her for all her crimes, including killing the emperor. She should have been beheaded or displayed in from of the capital.
3. I also hate Luo Zi Xing but knowing he died young, sad and alone was enough punishment.
And now i'm off to watch the sequel Forever and Ever 🥰
Rating: 8.5/10
