Mixed Feelings
So I feel like I have a lot of mixed feelings about LOF. I definitely love the way it started out. Hands down so good. But the end half is super rough. The thing that bothered me the most was the constant reuse of themes (Captured moms, evil brothers, getting knocked out every 5 mins, constant poisoning, blood spitting, etc.). I wish they would have spent more time on the seals and maybe she would have needed to unlock/activate each seal in order to change her tragic fate... ? As in, I wish that was the focus of the story. Her journey to unlock the seals as well as her love story with Wu Ji and their entangled destiny. In a way it was but it was more behind the other stories. I would have liked to know more about the seals and their origins and all that jazz.
Also, I feel like the 2nd half had so much more focus on Wu Ji and that annoys me because Fu Yao is kick-ass and this is HER story. It's called Legend of Fu Yao, not Legend of Wu Ji. It also felt very draggy. It was kind of a struggle there to get through ep42-54ish.
However, I really do love Fu Yao and Wu Ji. I really felt they were destined regardless of the ending, they would be together. I really feel like one cannot live without the other. I just love them. Him yelling at her to leave in the last episode, I felt that. He was so panicked for her to leave and live on.
Also also, I love the friendships. Just the bond between their little family group is so heartwarming. Seeing them fight together in the last 2 episodes made me wish we had seen more of their group together. I wish we would have been able to see them in good times as well as bad together. Even sharing a meal or drinking together would have been really nice. I love those kinds of scenes.
Overall, I enjoyed the drama and I feel like it's given me a push to find other Wuxia dramas that are going to scratch the itch I feel like LOF left me with. Not that this was at all bad but like I want more. More fighting, more powers but with less reused storylines.
Would Recommend
Would Not Re-watch (Mostly because it's 66 episodes long)
