NiF: Finale
Jan. 29th, 2019 10:14 pmOkay, deep breath, here goes:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
I waited an two days to write this post, trying to gather my thoughts and I still can't do them justice because even after two days I am pretty incoherent with delight and sorrow.
This whole show has just been a ridiculous exercise in "I love everyone in this bar", and now that I have reached the finale this is STILL TRUE. I love everyone. Mei Changsu you wily lying bastard, I love you so much. Jingyan and Nihuang, I love you both. Tingsheng is so adorable all grown up I don't even know what to do. Lin Chen is my out-of-nowhere runner-up fave (with all the rest) and completely won my heart when he made Mei Changsu laugh. Fei Liu is still the best. Consort Jing has my heart forever. Doctor Yan is my soulmate and also wins the 'best hair' award. Xia Dong is a delight and my heart hurts on Gong Yu's behalf. Jingyan & Jingrui are the sweetest BFFs and I love them to bits and wish them all the adventures! Marquis Yan is so quietly awesome. Liyang made me proud in the end.
Even the antagonists get their moments of love. I was wowed by the scene where Xia Jiang is confronted by his ex-wife and son while in prison, and the actor playing the Emperor blew me away with emotions several times. I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS and right now I want nothing more than to watch the entire thing again while taking notes, preferably by taking a week off work and just mainlining it with as little sleep as possible. :D I may or may not already have the first episode queued up in another tab.
( More below the cut. Probably spoilers, but vague ones? )
