well-written review 👏 I think this is the downside of cutting down number of episodes in xianxia dramas that's why it feels like a rush or some of things that could have been explored more are left out bcoz they're trying to fit everything in a max number of 40 eps. I finally found a review that speaks about my exact same sentiment with regards to the second couple.
No shade but I really disliked what they did to their romance, like what you said the letters shouldn't have been the catalyst, it really felt as if Chong Zhao only loved Bai Xi and not Fuling. Also, same here 🙋♀️ I actually shipped Chen Ye and Fuling more since the start, I saw more potential and chemistry between their banters than the seductive-ish sucking out of poison scene
Urghh, I know its a happy ending for the main couple, but how come I feel so sad? 😭 How Fan Yue came back alive…
Fan Yue coming back makes sense, Jing Yuan learnt that Xing Yue is long gone and Bai Shuo is not Xing Yue, so he decided to let go of the 'mantle' hence Fan Yue was able to return because Jing Yuan would rather be with Xing Yue.
I misunderstood sorry 😅💜💜💜 you mean the first billing? I think this is production, director & writer choice, i saw it is said she is first billing bcoz it is female centric drama
its achievement not promotion...she is popular well known actress and making records so thats why! If you watch previous dramas of her before, her male leads are always almost new to industry or not well-known actors but after having drama with her they also gain popularity and recognition
