This is really a very good drama, whether it's the beautiful costumes or the heartbreaking yet sweet plot, the compact pacing, compared to other fantasy dramas, it is really special.This drama is based on traditional Chinese culture, with many Buddhist ideas such as the story of "Shibi Jataka Cut Flesh to Feed Eagles" that the Pearl King and Sangju talk about. This is a story from the Buddhist sutras that has infinite Zen meaning, and it roughly means sacrificing oneself to save the world and then being reborn. The Shibi Jataka in the story is actually the past life of Sakyamuni, and this story is actually woven throughout the entire show, implying the fate of the characters and the emotional themes of the series. https://dunhuang.ds.lib.uw.edu/Dunhuang-Exhibitions/exhibits/show/history-and-stories-behind/254intro/254-muralshibi
