Overall a recommended watch from me if you don’t mind a long show. I would say it’s worth it. I’ll say upfront though, the ending is batshit.

This has the potential to be a great show. But it is not without flaws.

First up with the positives;
The production is GREAT. The scenes, effects, and cast are all pretty good. I really like the chemistry between the few CPs like Muyun Sheng/Pan Xi, Han Jiang/SYN.

My gripe is with the editing and drawn out slow conversations. The scenes always cut at the wrong moments which don’t even create suspense at all and relies too much on flashbacks to explain things. Then there are unnecessary and reeeeeaaaaallllllyyyyyy long, drawn out conversations. *heaves long sigh* . You get the gist.

Also, there are way way too many characters. As you can imagine, this leaves a lot of loose ends after episodes of character build-up.

SPOILER ALERT.



Ending:
This was crazy as hell. ‘That Man’ who was only mentioned once every 30 episodes ends up becoming the main villain? How convenient LOL.
