There was no budget money to hire the main actors for a final wrap-up, or to hire a production crew. Plus the NRTA review process!

Tencent would have released ep 25 if it was filmed. Director took his own initiative when making the drama. He didn't read the book material, and didn't ask for input in preproduction planning. The authors have to put some clause in the purchase contract, to protect or waive the intellectual property rights.

Just a thought! When Shen first met Young Liang at the opera house, was he scouting for a valet to eventually replace Yuwen as the family caretaker? He would also need someone to run Haidong empire. Why did he have Liang's photo in his book? He seemed impressed with the young poor boy's dedication and hard work.

Shen should have implemented plans then, to help Li and his sister with education and finances, instead of letting the boy fall into degradation and despair. We will never know the real truth because Shen was not a communicative guy. He was magnanimous to some degree, but judgmental.

😆😆😆

I kept watching it for Gao Weiguang and Ouyang Nana, and their hair and wardrobe.

If anyone wants a good cry, they can watch the final scene in the ocean.

The stairs might have been carpeted. 🤣🤣🤣 i think it looked green like the walls.

They had two bedrooms upstairs, too. She must have given Tao, the night off.

It feels as if he was the filler, to build up the drama length. They could have cut his dialog by 20%.

LOL I guess Situ has no option now, but to live without Shen.

If Shen was 1,000 years' old and tired of the vampire life, I would have accepted the ending. It seems he was only 100 years' old, and a vampire for nine decades, and he now had a companion to continue the journey, I couldn't see the drama ending.

Nana and Vengo did an amazing acting job on this drama.

They had chemistry, and lots of hugs. LOL

I don't get it why Director and Screenwriter would decide to rewrite the ending. Did they kill off Shen, so they would not have to make Season 2? Very rare that a Cdrama even gets a Season 2.

His death is 50-50. LOL

The final scene in episode 24 between Mr Shen and Mi Lan had me in tears. The subs were not 100%, so I will have to rewatch it again. Amazing performances by Gao Wei Guang and Ouyang Nana! I am glad Tencent finally released the drama after almost three years. Drama gets 8.0. The 2.0 deduction is for some extraneous subplotting.

The plot is so convoluted now. I have watched half of episode 20, btw. LOL XD I don't know what to make of Situ anymore. He lived 100 years, but he never grew up. How many people and animals has he massacred for blood in 100 years, for survival?

The plot got convoluted when Li told Situ to arrange a meeting with Shen, and Li would give Jingxue to Situ. Situ is jumping for joy that Shen is going along with the plan. Meanwhile Li has a dastardly plan for Shen, as does Chi, and it involves a prison in a mine, and explosives. I am not sure if Situ knows about the mine. The plot has lost me at this point. And this is only episode 20.

I don't understand if Situ wants to have a physical relationship with Jingxue, and to dump her afterwards. He is acting like a gigolo playboy.

I haven't watched 20 to 23 yet, but it looks like Shen is walking into his doom because of Situ's stupidity.

I thought the same thing. Shen arrived in Haidong three years ago, but he met Li at least ten years ago. It must be the writer's memory lapse. The Shen mansion in Haidong also seems to have existed for a very long time.
