My second ever review. Just for documentation. First of all undoubtedly a great drama, but I think I might not rewatch the drama because the unknown drives the story a lot. So knowing everything would definitely lessen my enjoyment of the show. Second are the characters. Jiao liqao was such a funny,annoying but funny and a great character to me. This character is a woman with a mission, her obsession was actually enjoyable, unlike Shan Gudao. This guy is such a weak villain for such a great story, it was so obvious after a while and his background as villain was similar to your regular joe who was jealous of someone, like he's similar to Zijin who was also jealous of Xangyi. I think the villain was just underwhelming. The best thing out of it is the emotional turmoil of Xangyi, and the continuation of the story without much plot holes. Other than that I enjoyed every other important characters, they were not one dimensional and felt like actual people whether bad or good. Really liked the hints of romance in the drama it adds a whole lot more to the story, especially the romance between Di feisheng and Jiao Liqao hahahahahah. The ending being open was definitely just sad. For me seeing him die or be alive or having a definite conclusion. Would make me happy even if the ending was sad. I mean Xangyi was just chill with dying, like let him rest if he wants to, but I also understand the want for him to live. I kinda wish that there was an alternate story where instead of shan gudao it was di feisheng who Xangyi trained with. The rivalry for the two would have been much more healthy and much more better, I say this because of the personality of Di Feisheng and obviously his talent in fighting. It's rare for me to want a different version of a drama, it's just that they could definitely change things up and it would still be an interesting drama. Will definitely miss this drama and I hope something like this would come up again.
