The ending didn't do justice to the story

After some interesting events that leveled up the characters' strength (which is the whole point of the goldfish metaphor), the characters fell back into draft mode. I felt the ending was disappointing since it kind of brought the story and the characters back to square one. Maybe this is what the screenwriter was trying to portray -how patterns are hard to break- but the characters just didn't show how much they'd grown by the end of the story. I also think it's too open-ended for my taste. I recommend it only if you have extra time/are a fan of Iwata Takanori :)

What remains with me after watching this series is that, indeed, we're all struggling with emotional pain of some kind, but owning up to it and being compassionate about it is what makes us human. You'll probably find a mirror to your own insecurities and woes in any of the characters. The story portrays love at large in a heart-wrenchingly vulnerable way, so I don't think most people can finish the whole series without shedding at least a few tears. The characters are complex yet relatable, and most importantly, they are consistently interesting and never become dull. The cast is superb and the OST is already in my Spotify playlist.

Moral compass trumps love

I watched this because of the main couple. However, I believe their storyline was not satisfying. Their story is subordinated to an insisting ethical quest, which makes it feel like an otherwise more fresh and meaningful love story was bent into forty-something episodes of moral lecturing. Xiao Qing and Shu Che do justice to the the clearly educational intention of the storyline, but that does not make their characters particularly memorable. Whenever there was real romance between the two, it comes after many episodes of anticipation (as usual), but in the meantime I'm sure viewers crave more entertainment and thrill. The rest of the characters were a bit lackluster at their turn as well.
The OST was OK for me: I added it to my Spotify playlist mainly because of the girl's voice; pretty impressive vocal skill (saw her on Chinese talent shows too). Overall, I don't regret watching it since I'm a fan of TT and LJ, but I certainly expected a story where love was done more justice.

I am a bit disappointed at the ending. But being set in such a dire historical time for China, perhaps it couldn't have had a different, more triumphant ending. I think Chong Yang is the core of the story. He IS China. He represents what the country went through and the values it chose to hold on to throughout the horrific episode of the Sino-Japanese war.
Other than that, I enjoyed the way the characters developed from weaker to strong and determined individuals, but it would have been nice to see more of an edge to them.
