I almost feel like this could have been renamed "There's something about MuJin" because people were falling for her left and right. To start, I instantly liked MuJin as a little girl! Haha did MuJin just bite his butt cheek!?! XD You gotta do what you have to when a knife's involved! XD And young Qi Feng is so darn adorable with his willfulness! Seeing them all as kids made me want to see 10 or so episodes more of their adventures. There were only a couple occasions where the scenes seemed to end abruptly or jumped from A to D, which could have had a smoother transition because it seemed like either footage was omitted or edited out for reasons unknown & they just went on with the story as if it were understood. It left me feeling a little cheated. Although the relationship between Fei Bai & Mu Jin was developing, I found myself more interested in the support characters like Fei Qing, Fei Yan, Fei Dai/Sima Ju, Yue Rong, Fei Yu (Li Hao Bin), Song MingLei, and Auntie (Lt) Chen. The character development for each of them was commendable and unique. I also liked how typically Princes& Princesses are all seemingly perfectly healthy, but the Princes each had some personal trauma whether it was physical or mental that they were tackling that was impeding their growth in some way. The music flowed well/match the different scenes. Each character's individuality, struggles, presence was expressed pretty well. So the acting, production was done nicely. The child actors were impressive too.

The only part that got me was (Spoiler!!! don't read this if you haven't watched the last episode yet!) FeiBai gives Sima Ju the throne to make up for all the years he was trapped in the dark place... Umm... who else thinks Sima Ju/FeiDai was given the raw end of the stick? His brother gave him one form of confinement in place of another, so he (FeiBai) can travel with his wife (>__<) (>__<)!!??!! FeiBai walking away with a smile just made me so sad & uncomfortable for FeiDai/Sima Ju!!! (T__T) But as emperor, I'd hope Sima Ju/Fei Dai could make the rules and travel too! He deserves to see the world. I hope he uses that beautiful mind of his to travel after basking in the light of day for a few months. I was originally hoping that they'd take turns. But at the end, they made it clear what happened. I'm foolishly hopeful, I'd like to imagine Sima Ju/Fei Dai faked his death instead and hopefully start a life away from all that mess he grew up in & away from Jinxiu who only hurts him. (T__T)
