"If we meet again in the next life, hope you can come to marry me"
Firstly this drama really was emotional for me. I don't usually write reviews but I had to for this drama.
I cried and cried during the last episodes of the drama. The emotions that the actors portrayed and the way they did those scenes made me forget that I was just watching a drama. I cried when Zhousheng Chen was executed and I wept when Shiyi read his letter. Hats off to each and every actor and actress.
Even though it was heartbreaking it made me greatful for those little moments they all shared. Like when Shiyi would wait for news about her Master's victory or when her senior brothers and sisters would spoil her and the conversations that they all shared. It made me realize how quickly things change with time, in the drama and out of it.
Zhousheng Chen's life was one that really made me emotional. He gave his life for his country going so far as to vow not to take a wife or have children so that the royal family can be rest assured that their power would not be affected by him, only to be killed because higher powers felt threatened by his "bones" and ability. It was so sad that right until the last moment he was so sacrificial, worrying about others more than himself. It was so heartbreaking to watch as he bids Shiyi farewell. He loved her so much but could never act on his emotions due to circumstances.
Shiyi's character was performed phenomenally. You see how she gradually grows from a mute noble daughter, to becoming Zhousheng Chen's deciple, to loving him, to having to leave him. I was broken hearted with her during the last episodes.
As I watched the concluding moments of the drama I have come to learn that we don't always get a happy ending. There is loss in life and we have to accept that. For every tragic thing that happens it makes us grateful for those moments where we just chattered with our loved ones, ate with them and walked a busy street with them.
I would 1000% reccomend this drama. It is a masterpiece, and I don't say it often about dramas that I watch. You will laugh, cry and smile with the characters. Don't miss out watching this drama just because it has a sad ending, it is worth it, plus there is a part 2/sequel called Forever and Ever. I am going to start it soon. I am sure that will heal most of the heartbreak and sorrow I went through.
