2022. That's a long wait. Great story. Zhang Ruo Yun did a wonderful job. Story was interest all the way through. Beautiful sceneries and costumes. The production sets were not cheap in quality. The cinematography was colorful and the editing is good. The ending was a classic cliffhanger. I expected it and was wondering how the season would end but was not disappointed. The only disappointment is I wish they had done it all without splitting it into two seasons and two years a part. I would have to read the novel now to satisfy my hunger for the rest of the story.
Update: Having read up to chapter 55, the drama is not the same as the novel. The characters are the same but the plots are different.
