Okay, I am a die hard fan of C drama. I am a chinese so I pretty much understood the show without any subs, and it was heartbreaking. My god. I have watched Princess Agents before, and that got me crying for so long. This show gives a very different kind of pain, an almost bittersweet ending with its ending. This show gets frustrating sometimes if you realise how much the main 2 girl leads caused trouble and screwed up basically... well, everything.
However, it is touching to watch and see the 2 male leads struggle to understand their emotions and discover what the hell is true love. This is shown, in a very heartbreaking way at the end of the last few episodes. One pair is those: I like you but I cannot like you because you're a demon.... shit but I really like you! and then regret not showing their feelings.
The other pair (main lead couple) basically have at least some good scenes and heartwarming episodes of them being together. All the characters acting are superB, especially Yang Zi. If I am not wrong she is only 26, and her acting surpasses a lot of older actresses. She's extremely good at crying and her tears just makes her character pop out. This is my first drama regarding the White Snake but I have no objections in regards of how the White Snake was portrayed as.
I do really wish they can figure out the ending properly... What's with the ending being (SPOILER BELOW, kind of. Main leads die but I don't say who)
so unsure? One of the main lead basically kills him/herself because the other died. But then the show ends with a MV potraying the one who died coming back, and shielding the lead who was preparing to commit suicide. So... is the ending both of them dead? Or they both lived? We might never know.
The soundtrack at the end for the MV... MY GOD. It just hurts. It was a heartbreaking way to end the show and I hate and LOVE the director at the same time. Goddamn it.
