I finally finished watching it. I started and dropped it and then again restarted it 3-4 times because of the political atmosphere...but I am glad I finished it the 5th time, I found myself constantly looking forward to other episodes and to what will happen, and how will Mei Changsu resolve everything...The end was perfect for Marshal Lin Shu. The relationship between the characters' friendship, love, brotherhood, and family ties were all well portrayed. The loyalty towards each other and the country that Lin Shu had never once ceased burning. At times it made me emotional...it completely showed great human emotions! The OST was perfect- the lyrics made me emotional...and Xiao Jingyan's tribute to his best friend and his unwavering trust in him made me really emotional! How many friends do we have who can hold on to their friends and are willing to sacrifice for the injustice their friends suffered?
