The most heart wrenching part was what followed after the death of Phoenix's right-wing man, Liao. I can feel his deep sense of loss and just when he was about to take revenge for his trusted aide to kill Night Immortal, he was betrayed and back stabbed by the person he loved more than his own life. My heart was utterly shattered.
Overall I loved this drama so much despite its flaws that I can rewatch several times over again. At the end of the day, i feel that all the trouble started with Jinmi and her triangle love affair resulting in the war between heaven and demon realms, and deaths of her father, stepmother and the heavenly emperor. If only she had told her daddy to call off the wedding arrangement with night immortal in the beginning and will that she shall make the decision to marry the person she decides and loves at a later date, life would have been more manageable.
Deng Lun’s acting was stunning. His role as Fire Immortal, King Yi and Black Phoenix were so charismatic and make these characters so endearing. Why didn’t they put him as the main cast in Princess Agents???
The OST, CGI, props, costumes and action were superb and wow! At least 3 very handsome guys in the drama. I enjoyed Deng Lun's articulation and interpretation of the scripts in Mandarin most of all, very gentle, romantic, yet at times arrogant. ;)
