Which song since there were at least 4 that I liked?
I will look at the lyrics for the others but I just checked out the lyrics and their meaning for the song by Zhou Shen. I guess I don't see a problem with that song.
My tears wouldn't stop through the last few episodesāfirst from the angst, even mourning the loss of our villain, and then from the sweetness, because those tender moments were masking what our beautiful couple couldnāt ultimately escape. I loved how the show captured the nuances between Simu, when she experienced the world in full, and Duan Xu, when he did not.
I especially appreciated the decision to devote an entire episode to the couple, with the beautiful OST elevating every moment. And the romantic in me loved the special episode. Honestly, even without it, I would have been satisfiedāthe original ending already gave me everything I wanted for them, especially knowing that he remembered it all in the end.
Loose ends aside, this drama was truly wonderful. A talented castāparticularly the leadsāpaired with likable, engaging characters (Feng Yi being a standout), well-timed humor, a compelling story, and good dialogue. The costumes and settings were gorgeous, the special effects and action scenes were well-done, and the soundtrack is one Iāll have on repeat.
Haha it's obvious it's going to be Zhuge Yue and Chu Qiao in the end. Together they will create a new kingdom…
HYTT definitely got potential which is why I pointed out that it was more inexperience than bad acting. Plus I was commenting only about the first 17 episodes. There's room for change for the rest of the show, and also in her other dramas. I thought she was great as the bratty little sister in Perfect Match.

Noāand thatās exactly why I went in with zero expectations. What I got was the same expression across many scenes: in battle, rallying her soldiers, facing different people in emotionally charged scenesāno change. Even when confronting ZGY in anger, guess what. not even a flicker. And when sheās pining for him? Still the same look, just with a few water drops for tears. I could point to scene after scene all the way through episode 17. There's one with LiCe that especially stood out but I don't want to add spoilers.
For me, this isnāt bad acting so much as inexperience, which is why sheās still watchable. Iāve seen plenty of dramas where characters are meant to be restrained or emotionally guarded, but strong actors can still convey depthāthrough their eyes, a subtle eyebrow movement, or even a slight shift in posture. I didn't even see her body language adjust.
A good director can also help by focusing on other details like the hands., when the face is meant to stay controlled.
Here, though, the camera kept returning to the same static expression, and after a while, it started to feel like a missed opportunity on both the acting and directing sides.

Even if the character was meant to be emotionless, surely during the scenes which did warrant some emotions, we should see that reflected in her face. Regardless, Iām not dropping this show so I will look forward to the changes you mentioned! Thank you for clarifying!
Ep 22 was so frustrating for me because it was becoming obvious to the viewers who was truly lying but the characters didn't find out until it was too late....I feel so badly for Ji Ling but I am so confused now about the ending. Really one episode is just not enough!

This is definitely a drama Iāll be rewatching.
