The ending was weird, even though happier than the one from Yunxi Zhuan

I was hesitant to watch the drama as I expected a remake of "The Legend of Yunxi". But a few rewies made it very clear that the storyline is different and just the actors are the same.
I didn't expect much and I didn't get much.
The drama started good, but the female lead repeats her mistakes all the time and just doesn't learn, the characters are overly cliché and the main couples chemistry in this drama seemed a bit off. To be honest I think the side couple's story was much better and way more realistic in the way their relationship developed and how the overall relationship was portraid... However, the actors did a good job and the storyline is ok.
What propably bothered me most, was that the ending was very abrupt and several questions left open. The last episodes seemed a bit chaotic, as if the writer didn't know how to fit all the loose strings into the remaining episodes... and not enough with the sudden endin they even added an extra ending that puts the main characters into present time. Just why? In my opinion that was just unnecessary and very out of context...
But all in all it is a drama with a happy end and two sweet couples, so I guess for just passing the time it is still worth the while.
