I started watching this because as a start for multiple series of Novoland.
Watched in on Viki.
This is 56 episodes and rightfully so. By the end of the series I am left needing more episodes because of many unanswered questions.
Who won the final battle at the end? Who’s left in charge of YuRan's clan? What happened to Yung WuYi? His daughter got lost in the story too. The princess in the capital-what became of her? Is Jie Ye leading Tian Ju?
Needing answers to this questions just showed I was invested and interested in this series. The actors perfectly portrayed their characters. They acted their role so I won’t penalize them for the outcome of this series. The writers and director I believe could have done better with ending status of each character they introduced and gave story.

This series didn’t focus on the three main leads but told story of each characters in the story that is well connected to the main characters.

Production is huge and amazing. From costumes to props, everything fits perfectly. I can just imagine the hard work put on this especially scenes done in the snow. Just the hard work for this series shown doesn’t warrant a rating of 1 by some.

I love how the relationship of the three main lead were written. There’s no childish weird assumptions on it and it was tackled like a wise adult.

I also love the lead female character that balanced the two main lead’s serious side.

I will say it is worth investing time watching. Long series like this I normally will skip episodes or fast forward but I watched all episode without doing such. I even rewatched some again.

Because of missing end story for some characters and the way ending was done you may feel disappointed but I hope the overall aspect will make up for that as it did for me. I’m hoping for a sequel. ?
Time to now watch other Novoland series.
