this couple shares the same core values—such as contribution, commitment to justice, faithfulness
"I love that this couple shares the same core values—such as fair resource distribution, equality before the law, commitment to justice, faithfulness in love, virtue, and their care and kindness toward friends, and family. This is truly one of my favorite dramas.
Not to mention how perfectly their characters complement each other. Huge credit goes to the male lead for his love and respect, and for accepting her capabilities—even when she outshines or defeats him as her role demands.
Ji Bozai, the male lead, is someone starved of affection. It’s obvious he has never experienced love before, so he gives it his all while being utterly terrified of it. Once that trust is broken, he is deeply hurt and constantly doubts love, making him the most pitiful character. On the other hand, the female lead seems less starved of love, perhaps because she was too focused on survival at the time. In reality, she loves him deeply too. There are scenes where they beautifully share their love, sacrifices, and mutual pain with one another."
------------------
This drama is highly focused on romance. For their relationship to successfully move forward, Ji Bozai deserves high praise. Notice that even after being betrayed, he still tries to find answers and is always ready to trust. There are scenes where he asks multiple times (3 to 4 times) if she is sincere, if she can be trusted, and if she will deceive him again. This is typical behavior of someone who is already deeply in love and trying to make excuses for the other person; naturally, the deceiver would say they aren't lying, but he just wants to hear that reassurance. As for Ming Yi, sometimes she doesn't even get a chance to answer before being cut off. The only time she does answer, it leaves room for doubt: "Right now, I am sincere." Although Ji Bozai seems aloof, distrustful, and acts like a villain, he actually helps everyone wholeheartedly. He sacrificed his life to save the Six Realms from the Heaven-Swallowing Formation, cared for the female immortal Ruo Shui, protected the people in the Slave Realm and the Abyss, and saved others from the demonic beast army. He possesses the true quality of a ruler—sacrifice. He is a very kind-hearted person who forgives everyone easily without complexity, including his lover, his master, and his mother.
As for Ming Yi, she truly deserves to be loved completely. The moment the male lead finds out she is Ming Xian and has been poisoned, he realizes that she has used her dwindling life force to save him multiple times, which is the deepest expression of love. The scene where he puts his neck against the sword and calls her a liar proves he knows she would never hurt him and is always ready to help. Even when he makes her believe he has destroyed the medicine, she bears no resentment or anger toward him.
How could they not love each other deeply? It is absolutely impossible, given how incredibly good they are to one another.
