An angel will burn you for the world, the devil will burn the whole world for you

This was designed to be a light watch, with a hint of something deeper as it progressed. However, at least for me, it fell short somewhere along the way. More specifically, with one character to wreck the whole train.

LBTI starts off pretty vaguely, I do wish the beginning premise was more fleshed out, but it quickly shapes into a tantalizingly fun mystery/romance. The acting is done well, especially for QY's character (this dramas saving grace) and the plot progresses nicely along the way. The music really didn't catch my attention in this.

What wrecked this watch for me was the FL's character turns out to be a ditzy, self-righteous person. It made the last twenty episodes excruciating to muddle through, with the last episode being a breath of fresh air. LBTI strives so be a deeper drama about the blurring of lines with regard to what it right and wrong. If everybody tells you something is right, is it actually right or is there greed simmering beneath the white surface? It gives many pointed examples of what greed and pride can do to a society. Unfortunately, the ping pong game that was the love triangle ruined it.

This does mainly focus on the main character finding her "Mr. Right" and the ensuing trouble it causes in a place where she can't take care of herself. Cue the most indecisive character actions since scientists deciding if Pluto was a planet or not. If you're not into a back and forth love triangle, this isn't for you. QY was the main saving grace for this drama as I only continued watching for his happy ending.

I'm not sure if I would recommend this as it was a painful forty episode watch for me. But, if you're looking for a light-ish romance driven wuxia drama, then maybe give this a shot.
