I'm writing this after 24 episodes have aired. I was rather meh on the first part of the drama and then the relationship building components between Tan Tai Jin and Ye Xi Wu (Li Su Su) between episodes 18-23 were super sweet. I've been rewatching those scenes over and over again because I actually do ship the main pair. And then in episode 24 it fell off a cliff again. It's the joke right now that people are waiting for the female lead to jump from tower just like people did in Eternal Love/San Sheng San Shi Shi Li Tao Hua.
However, there's been so much chaos for this drama by fans that I think people need to just calm down. While it's not the most amazing fantasy drama out there, fans need to stop attacking the cast as much as they are right now and just enjoy the show for what it is. A show.
