I've been on a Bai Lu binge lately (along with a wuxia binge in general). I've never seen anything with Ren Jialun but I really enjoyed his acting and overall presence. Overall, I felt like this drama had a good thing going, great cast-music-production, but I was honestly distraught when I got to the last episode because I was left feeling empty.

The interactions between ALL the characters felt like they were missing a touch of something in my opinion. The acting was great but I think it had to do with the script/story. The constant sadness really just consumed me to be honest, maybe I'm just being brutal cause none of them were happy for more than half an episode.

Unfortunately not a drama I would recommend to those who are looking for your traditional chinese historical love story.
