Okay... this ending... *sigh*. It would have been much more satisfying if they had included just one more shot. I needed to see 南雅 meeting 周洛 at the end, or at least the series could have concluded with a shot of 南雅 looking happy or a two-shot of them together.
I can come to terms with their fate because I appreciate 林方路's line, '我赌他们的感情是真的,' and I also believe that the truth will ultimately liberate them. BUT, the presence of 青李 was unnecessary. The viewers deserved the emotional reward of seeing 周洛 and 南雅 together, and I understand why some feel shortchanged. It also does a disservice to 青李's character, as it left me feeling annoyed with her.
For a series that so thoroughly developed this relationship, with the incredibly talented 童瑶 and 张新成 portraying one of the most unforgettable on-screen relationships I've seen in a Chinese drama, the last episode disappointingly featured too little of them. It's remarkable how these actors managed to captivate us. Lesser actors might not have been able to make us care as deeply about these characters with the given narrative style and limited screen time
