I think Jiang-er did what she did was to save the others who were attempting to rescue Changge. She knew Zhu Yan was unbeatable and didn't want them to die before they completed their mission in helping Qingci. Zhu Yan may not kill Changge and Yun Luo but he wouldn't hesitate to kill others. Earlier, Changge had also mentioned about sacrificing oneself and was wondering if he had the courage to do it himself. Jiang-Er helped him in fulfilling that wish. As much as I wish Changge hadn't died - he is one of the most black and white person - I can see where it's coming from -- they want to make him a legend.

As many flaws as there maybe in terms of logic, but if I view it from the perspective of wuxia's most prized virtue - sacrificing oneself for justice for all - then I can explain a lot of the actions and decisions the characters have made. It may not deserve what I have awarded, a 10, and I admit I did it out of my own emotional ride while watching the show. As I'm back to normal and view it more objectively, I may downgrade it later.

Contrary to you, Jiang-Er is my favorite character - her words are wise and soothing despite she doesn't do much :)

Yeah, all the unnecessary deaths. For that matter, the death of Sang Wan under the hand of his sworn brother, and the death of Mu Siu who has lived in the cave forever surviving eating ants. WTF!

Wen Si Yuan becomes a house husband; he marries into Zheng Yang Gong. LOL!

The ending doesn't make you cry or anything, just feels 'loose', typical Chinese drama endings.

This is quite consistent how they treat all the mysterious heroes - they would kill them off quite effortlessly as soon as the heroes appear on screen. I don't know why they're holding a grudge against these poor heroes.

That's so true about chickening out in killing Qingci because a lot of viewers just can't take it. I remember in Goodbye My Princess, it was a tragic ending and the rating went down and many viewers just wouldn't watch it. The rating for that particular drama was based on happy or tragic ending. Unfair but true.

That's one thing that really baffles me - why should Ai Di die because he's been hidden away all these years? Can't they just hide him again and feign his death? No one knows anyway whether he dies or not. No one even knows how he looks like except Yun Luo and Qingci.

Well, we'd never know if he's totally cured or his life is extended for a few more years. However, it's indicated that with Yun Luo who would go to all extent to find a cure for him, just like what she does for her shifu for 10 years, it's assumed that she manages that for Qingci too.

Like all Chinese dramas, they are weak with the final episodes. But comparatively, this one is still better done.

Beautiful ending!

Finished this drama. Simply, "WOW!"

They have to sacrifice him to bring back the other. So sad indeed but brilliant.

OMG! The last few episodes are tear jerking. I cry like a baby! Shoot! Not supposed to cry in a wuxia but, golly! this is so good - wuxia mixes with heart wrenching romance.

Yes, do watch it because it's really very endearing. I love it.

Yeah, he did mention he used to practice martial arts too.

Are we supposed to hate Mo Huan? But she's my most favorite character. I wish they have developed her character more. She's supposed to be very evil and atrocious, but instead, I see humanity in her. Am I so screwed?

Yeah, I guess it has a lot to do with the mis-timed comic relieves too.

It also reminds me of The Legend of Jin Yan, but the couples are incomparable - this pair here is intelligent whereas the pair in The Legend of Jin Yan are a couple of cute idiots :D

Yeah, I figure that's what will happen - finding out about each other on their wedding. Just that, they're supposed to be intelligent people and yet, after so many encounters with each other and everyone knows about their real identities, except these two of each other. It's just a bit unrealistic but what am I complaining about? It's drama :)
