I'd rather just rewatch Minglan

Enjoyable drama ruined by pacing in the last arc. seems the director wanted everyone to fall in love with the evil 2ML, he had way too many scenes of him just brooding silently, moping around, or scheming to disrupt the main leads' romance for way too long into the story. skipped most of the last few episodes because I just wanted it to be over and I much preferred the novel's ending. overall, I'd rather just rewatch The Story of Minglan because at least the 2ML in that isn't as obsessive, annoying, and creepy.
