It started off great... but
I really didn't like the ending, actually, there were many things I hated about this drama... It started off great, I had big expectations for Wei Zhi's character to evolve once she learned the truth but she didn't at all.
There are so many annoying bad cuts and fast-forwarding years later, it looks like the writer couldn't wait to finish it and rushed the story.
Even the love story wasn't really developed, didn't see much chemistry. The main characters' personalities were annoying for the most part. Their acting skills were okay but not the best, I didn't feel much emotion and was pretty detached from the story.
Scenes that could have been impactful were messed up in my opinion. For example, the scene of the Phoenix's reveal was surprisingly underwhelming. The revenge against the 'bad guys' was disappointing too, it happens really fast and no one really gets punished for their actions.
The arc story of the past was useless or maybe misplaced, it might have been better if they had put it at the beginning.
The CGI was amazing though ^^ too bad they didn't put as much thought into the actual story :/
Maybe my expectations were too high after watching 'TTEOTM' and 'The Starry Love' ...
PS: I find the title pretty funny when in the story the Phoenix has literally 0% resilience, the whole time she sacrifices herself for ML any chance she gets :/ As soon as she gets a little power she finds a new way to lose them and people have to save her ... again ?
