The ending is beyond disappointing, not to mention illogical. Now why would WZ after spending his night married…
That‘s what makes me so angry and disappointed. It’s completely out of character and ruins the character of WZ. He doesn’t deserve this. At least in the book he had no choice, but here he had a choice!
I felt maybe they didn’t want to make it a HE in order to not take away from the meaning of everything WZ has done and went through before. But this ending here also takes away from the meaning of everything he’s done. 1 it renders the entire love story meaningless because if revenge and getting famous for taking the evil Emperor down is more important than being with your pregnant wife there is no real love to begin with. Because in the drama here he had a choice and the Emperor would still have died. 2 This ending here takes away from his character development. In the final confrontation he seemed just desperate and enraged and revengeful. So the words he said to JC before dying seemed empty, they didn’t fit what we just witnessed. So disappointing. In my mind WZ is not like this. Such a shame that they had to ruin this character.
It totally ruined the drama for me. At least in the novel he died because he took down the Emperor with him and saved PY who promised to take care of Yueluo in the future. But here he basically committed suicide. He didn’t have to stay inside because the Emperor was already lying under the wooden beams and couldn’t have escaped anyway and PY didn’t need saving here. WZ could just have gone out the door instead of shutting the door. So this means it was more important to him to be known as the man who killed the Emperor than to take care of his pregnant wife? And go see the world with her as he promised? He had lied to her again when he promised her this because obviously he had wanted to die with the Emperor all along. Which ruins the entire romance story for me. I couldn’t even feel so sad because I was so angry at WZ.
Wei Zhao's love and care towards Jiang Ci is so wholesome to watch and Jiang Ci's acting brought tears to my eyes…
The chemistry between RJL and LL is sooo good! I hope they will do another historical drama together with political scheming etc but then I want to see them as a power couple working together like they did in the Nanling arc and a HE 💫
But in the novel she got to travel with her child and Ziming.
