The Best parts:
1. Liu Meng Li, what a beautiful, smart, and kind character. She was so damn good, I'm glad she got the happy ending. Happy endings don't necessarily need to have romance, although I do prefer it in my dramas. I prefer to watch women like this in dramas compared to ones that are hell bent on destroying their friends over a perceived insult or a man. They chose the right actress to play the role, she breathed life into that character.
2. Yun Tian He, another lovely character that steals your heart. I must say the writers did a beautiful job with these two characters. It was amazing how he always thought good of everyone and this is something that should be protected but we rarely do. We tend to scoff at such naivety, but that's what all of us need. The bitterness is just dragging us all down.

The Meh parts:
1. The story lacked depth and I skipped through lot of scenes just to focus on the scenes with the foursome.
2. The romance was very low key. I wanted to see more of it.
3. A shitshow of a sect that was ruled by corrupt people who called themselves the good people.
4. I loved Xuan Ying, hoped he had a better story arc though. He was gone just like that.
5. I tried to like Ling Sha but she is too damn frivolous. I also felt that maybe had another actress played this role, it would have turned out better. Someone with more charisma. I did like the actress in Blossoms but this character was not done right.
