I am very glad I resisted and did not spoil myself for how the story would end.
That's how I can fully absorb the impact the producers would like the audience to feel I guess.
Totally cried when the story explained how Fuheng died. Definitely didn't see that this is how his character would leave this show. So quietly. So sadly. So beautifully orchestrated. (Didn't even let him say goodbye!? His last scene was him going to war at Myanmmar...)
I think of all the romance K-dramas I've watched, this love story trumps all of them.
I especially love how the story follows history (as much as they can, where they can). Together as the story slowly unfolds, I also began reading books about Chinese's history, especially about the Qing Dynasty out of interest. I reached a chapter that was about to spoil more details about the last Empress of Qianlong. Luckily I was careful to stop myself there.
Now, I can finally continue from there and google more.
And also watch the behind the scenes (FINALLY)
