Good idea! I started a rewatch just before this one came out and intended to wait to start TSOPG but I got sucked in. Maybe I need to watch HL to get me out of my present mood.
are there kiss scenes in this one? how's the romance? the other hit Cdrama had no kiss scenes for the leads!
I looked at your list of dramas with kiss scenes that will melt your heart and I will say TSOPG is better than many of the ones you listed that I have seen.

Trust me when I tell you, it does. If you want, you can view the video I posted at the top "happy video" to get a sense of the chemistry. They hold hands are loving once they get together. Let me see what else you have watched and loved and I will see if I can give you a comparison. I am so picky when it comes to chemistry. There are some dramas that people go all crazy over "hot" scenes and i don't feel it. You can take a look at my reviews.
Some say open some say sad. The journey was beautiful to watch. I have no regrets even if I wanted another ending. I usually avoid sad endings but this is worth the ride. Just watch it and see for yourself. I never wanted to fast forward through any of it.
You touched on the main points that stood out for me. It was sweet watching them get to know each other and the way he fell in love with her. Wang Chu Ran is always a pleasure to watch. She lights up the screen.
Now that I have finished the rest of the episodes, I sorta get why YZJ had to die. His character is a bit ruthless/heartless…
I will never be okay with it but I can still see that going with that ending it was well done. But I would have preferred an HE. There was too much suffering for him to just die in the end. I can't help feeling sad. It it had been an HE I would want to keep rewatching but it isn't so I don't know if I will watch it again.

But he trusted Duanwu to do what he taught her with the arrow. Yes, he doesn't stick with the law when he is dealing with his enemies but he loved Duanwu and he cared for his new friend ZJR. He is used to being in control but he steps back and let's Duanwu do her thing. He doesn't try to hinder her growth and in fact, looks proud of her. Dealing with the enemy sometimes requires a cool ruthless approach. I don't think he disregarded CSJ's life. He saw how much Duanwu wanted her saved and he will do anything for Duanwu's happiness.
I don't think this is the reason he didn't get his HEA😭 It could be to show Duanwu can do this on her own or it could be that you can change your fate by taking charge of your life to achieve everything you want but we don't always get our wish or our deepest desires. Duanwu wanted YZJ to stay with her more than anything she had ever dreamed of. And he wanted to be with her. Some things are out of our reach like the stars. My head is still all mixed up right now. I have to sort through my thoughts, I loved this. I loved the leads. I see what they did in the ending but I am still not happy. And yet I loved this drama.
Those of you who do not want to watch the ending because you read the spoilers, just go for it. I am the first person to say no sad ending for me but I pushed through to the end because it has been beautiful to watch the couple so far. If you don't watch, you will miss out on the beautiful scenes between the leads and the support actors. You will just be accepting crust of pie without tasting the filling. You will miss out. I admit, there is one drama I refused to watch the last 5 episodes but with this one, I had to watch.
Agreed. I'm not even going to bother watching the last few episodes now that I have an idea where this is all…
I don't like sad ending either and will often read the back of the book before I start. But the ending was beautiful in its own way. They love we saw grow between was painfully portrayed. It hurt to watch and yet so beautiful.
But didn't she get a goodbye letter? I might need to watch the last episode again.
