I have watched this before back in 2020, I saw an edit and had to do a re-watch for 2023. It is so worth it. I have read both the novel and the manhua. I will say I am disappointed about the censorship of their romance but I guess due to their policies they had to do it like that. The ending at first looks like they go their separate ways (not in the novel, or manhua they go together and I love it), but after Wei Wuxian plays the flute, he turns around wide-eyed, I'd like to think that Lan Wangji came back ;') which is just a perfect ending. Despite the censorship, they snuck in many of the scenes and even in a subtle version which was beautiful.

The bro or friend-zoning part did piss me off ngl but I also think of that as Wei Wuxian at the time not knowing of his feelings for Lan Wangji. Also, Lan Wangji's subtle reaction to it gets me. I would have liked if the author continued more about Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian's reunion ;'( maybe one day they will have their happy ending as best friends again. However, I am happy about how the adaption started and ending despite the censorship of some of the favorite scenes. I could also go to the manhua and re-read that or the novel. I'm glad they made this. I do not think I'd find another relationship like Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian because their characters were so beautiful. Especially what Lan Wangji did when Wei Wuxian was gone for 16 years ;'')
