After the final broadcast, Yang Yang left a long message on social media to thank his fans for their support throughout the show. “People say I am too handsome to play the character Ye Xiu. Everyone can become someone like Ye Xiu. When you feel confused, lost, and dispirited, it was Ye Xiu who told me that nothing is impossible to beat. Start over again!”

Just finished watching this. Didn’t understand a word, lucky there was subtitles. Wow have to say this drama was good. Some of the dialogues were the same as the anime.
I rarely watch anything these days, used to watch TVB many years ago, but this was definitely worth watch.
