I think I liked it but I am confused

Let me start by saying I am confused. Overall I think I liked the show but I have never been so confused about a show in the past. Like exactly why did the emperor kill the eldest brother and how did Lord Bo and Fourth brother find out? Why and when did Ma Zhaixing become so ill she only had a few days to live? When did MA Zhaixing become a martial arts expert and stronger than everyone, I think that takes more than a couple lessons. It seems like they cut out major parts of the story and confused me to the point and rewatched episodes to see if maybe I missed something. Also I have never been a second lead person. Many people find them more interesting than the lead, but I always see them as serving a purpose and never route for them - except for this show. Ji Chong is by far the best character.

Story was about a boy (Lord Bo / Wolfie) raised by wolves who befriends a girl (Xing Er / Ma Zhaixing) circumstances separate the two and Wolfie is adopted (meaning tortured and abused) by the emperor. Eventually Zhaixing's family is killed by Lord Bo's troup. The two meet again, misunderstand one another, then Ji Ching comes into the story and saves the show. Eventually they are honest with one another but well I'll let you watch for the ending. Story is typical misunderstandings although Lord Bo is confusing, apparently he was helping people all along but there is no sign or evidence. They tell us he always was protecting the people from the crazy emperor, but we never see it or any proof so I guess we just have to believe it. What I liked was the comparison of Lord Bo and 4th brother's toxic relationship with their father the emperor and comparing that to Ji Chong and his relationship to his dad the King of Jin.

Character wise.... I didn't really understand Lord Bo and they never really fleshed him out. Everything was almost second hand so I cannot say I was attached to him at all. Zhaixing was typical FL, a little silly in the beginning and then after bed events becomes cold and sad all the time. I loved the characters of Yao Ji, who was imprisoned with Lord Bo and while she seems bad is really a good person. I also loved Princess Bao Na, she was a breath of fresh air and played the silly princess to perfection. She could border on getting annoying but then managed to pull back. Fourth brother was adorable as well. Which leads me to Ji Chong who I adore and want him to have his own show. We meet him as a care free bounty hunter and then eventual find out who he really is and why he became a roving bounty hunter. You ACTUALLY see him helping people and he supports EVERYONE and puts them first, helping all of them get what they want especially Zhaixing. I can say I'm glad she doesn't end up with him cause she didn't deserve him. Princess Bao Na had the best line talking to Ji Chong, roughly "You're the coolest man I've ever seen". I couldn't agree with her more

In all the acting was well done. Everyone acted their parts well. Lord Bo was a little confusing at times, but I blame the script more than his acting ... unless it was bad acting choices.

The OST is very good, although the music was a little distracting within the story and almost jarring at times. It does not seamlessly blend into the show like 'The Untamed" but I do enjoy the music and listen to it frequently.

Would I rewatch ... maybe for jJ Chong or to see if I can understand parts that seemed to be skipped.

Did I like it? Yes but maybe not for the reason's I was supposed to. Like at the end all I wanted was for Ji Chong to be happy so why I liked the show was proportionate to Ji Chong!
