Xiao Yi Qing is clearly the green flag & star of this drama.
I went in expecting to like Xiao Yi Qing, as I read through a lot of comments & also the plot about the drama & I surprisingly liked him a lot more than I thought I would. Apart from 1-2 instances, he always treated his Ah Jing well, looked after her, supported her, and most of all believed in her. Since the first time they met each other, it was easy to the understanding between the two. A lot of time he reminded me of the lead from the princess agents, but Xiao Yi Qing is a much better person.
I liked Ah Jing half of the time, but I mostly liked her because of Yi Qing cared for her & I wanted him to have everything he wanted in this world. Had she not doubted him so many times, she would have actually been perfect for him. No matter how many times she questioned his intentions, he always let it go. But she did care for him in her own way, tried everything to save his life and he was a very ungrateful when she risked her life for the medicine, only for him to waste it. Yeah, he apologized but that was something so out of character. He was the one who first spoke the harsh words and failed to resolve the issue. Anyways, you can't always be perfect.
Xiao Tai was a teenager who wanted things that she didn't earn. She was coddled by everyone & they kept making excuses for her. They failed to make her understand that she was responsible for the consequences. She did not even repent for any of the mistakes and countless deaths that resulted due to her obsession with the Tower Master. Even at the end, all she got was a slap on the wrist. She used Qing Yu & He let her be used. Like his brother said, he was always ambitious but he was also so delusional. He forgot that Qing Ming was his sister, who fought alongside him. It was sad to see that only Ming was the one to survive amongst the three siblings, because that's how I saw them as siblings.
Where Qing Yu's destruction was led by Xiao Tai, Qing Lan's was led by Ming He. I was surprised that Qing Lan had any feelings for Ming He. I thought the disgust he would feel would be far greater than any feelings that arose out of familiarity. But I seem to have misjudged him as a person. He obviously cared about everyone & it included Ming He as well. I had wished that he would survive, he could have been a good Tower Master, better even than Yi Qing.
They shouldn't have killed Nan Chu though. What was even the point. He was one of the characters that should have and could have made it. Same could be said about a lot of couples that were introduced, only for them to die. Also, the tower master & Ah Jing were heartless when dealing with Lei family. They knew what would happen and took no measures to ensure that young & old people would make it out alive. I have seen better leaders than them, had it been Qing Lan in their place he would have made sure that they made it. But with what we have seen of Qing Lan, I don't think he had enough intelligence for that kind of masterplan.
