The drama finally ended. It should have concluded with a bang (the granary explosion), or a follow-up episode with Wei Jing restored to the throne, and Chang An at peace. It was not clear if Xiao Wu Yang died during the rescue. Wujin unfortunately had to live, to hand over the Tiemo assets to Chang An. He was annoying to watch, even if he had a pretty face.
How ironic that the Black Cloaked Man was Pan Feng Shan, but even he could not kill King Tiemo. The writer gets points for that plot twist. Xie Huai An had guts of steel to survive the stabbing, and walk to the granary, to blow it up with himself and King Tiemo. Xie Huai An got his flashbacks and song filler at the end.
BGM was obtrusive, diluting the dramatic effect of the scenes. The quality of the BGM was movie quality, just overdone. The songs were pretty. Final rating: 8
I have no sympathy for Old Man Long. He killed himself, after planning to kill his two loyal disciples. He even got song filler and flashback filler. Director wasted time on Long.
Isn't the face make supposed to come from a corpse? They would need a skilled cosmetologist or mortician who could manufacture a face mask of a living person. Xie Huia An didn't reach that stage.

I started watching this drama last night. I like the ML, Ding Yu Xi/ Li Bing. The second ML is slow witted. I watched Zhou Qi in Vendetta of An, and wanted to see his acting skills. The other characters are hit or miss. The writing and acting are average. I am curious about White Cat's backstory.

The Huben arc was annoying, but that fizzled, to be replaced by Tiemo. Are Huben and Tiemo, allies, or will Huben turn against Tiemo? Huben does not appear to have a leader after Pan Feng Shan's demise. Who is running the Emperor's army?
