Great acting but seriously bad editing

I create an account just for this review. Drama had seriously big potential to be a hit drama with the base storyline that they had until you suddenly get slapped by the really2 bad editing especially in the last few episode.

Let's face it, we don't have much of a great badass female character and Lu Zhao Yao just happened to be my favourite. Bai Lu embodied Lu Zhao Yao that I can never see other people play the character. She just has that aura and natural charisma. I wish show had treated that better.

Our Li Chen Lan is, well. I love Xu Kai, deeply throughly with all my heart but wtf did they do to the character???

They had all this awesome pairing by half of the series only to ended up none by the end.

Last few episode would make you wonder wth just happened. Even with the last episode, I was like what???
Some people said they had planned for different ending only to change it at the last minute but what the heck is that? I'm just gonna pretend the last episode didn't happened and we ended with episode 54 in the sword tomb.

Lu Zhao Yao and Li Chen Lan has all the possibility to become the most powerful couple but we don't even get that. After episode 35 or something, Li Chen Lan just become a damsel in distress who often need to be taken care of and Lu Zhao Yao is the caretaker.

And while the drama revolved around Wan Jun sword, we never really get to see what happened to that thing at the end. Like all the powerful power just went away like that????? Seriously??

This poor direction just rob us of all the possibility that could make this (of the drama not the acting) drama a successful one.

I'm saving all the compliment for battle moment of episode 54 when Lu Zhao Yao alone battling with Li Chen Lan demon. Doesn't that make you cry?? The love was overpouring in her eyes, trying to save the man she loves who no longer recognized her. That moment alone, deserved a standing ovation. I feel the hurt she felt. And when she stabbed him, God... The looks on her face is just ... Make me feel all the bad editing and execution quite worthwhile.

Drama worth to watch if you want to see some good acting (and if course Bai Lu and Xu Kai) but please be open to every possibility of getting confused and frustrated over the editing and the weak execution of trying to potray whatever the drama is trying to tell you.
