In all honesty I'm completely disappointed and slightly pissed of at the ending, but I'll try to get through this with the least amount of spoilers possible.

The production value of the drama itself was great, the CGI could've used a little work but other than that it was very satisfying to watch. The cast all did a great job with regards to portraying emotion through most of the series, but coming down to the end, when the plot started unraveling, the acting seemed to deteriorate. There was a lot of build up for an ending that was straight up mediocre.

The plot could have been amazing had the writers not gone for the typical heartbreaking but slight glimmer of hope style ending that's severely over done at this point. The main couple's progression into romance was natural and well paced, the side couple (the triad) added an incredible dynamic and showed a side of both friendship and romance that we hardly ever see in dramas. The other two couples that were focused on...one was unhealthy and the other...she fell in love with an abusive man and then chose to die with him. While both types of those relationships do happen, is it really something that we want encouraged in mainstream media? Coming down to the end it was like someone just started poking holes in the plot with a pin. Felt like I was watching a Chinese version of Hunger Games with the rate that people were dying, unnecessarily at that, in the last 3-4 episodes. The whole reverting to foxes thing? Like really? I'd have preferred that they just kill off the characters than force the men to watch her grow old and die, while they wait to regain their human forms.

So as much as I love the cast, save yourself the confusion, heartache and frustration and just skip this one. It isn't worth the time it'll take you to watch it, especially if you're a binge watcher like me.
