Hoping for a season 2 :( Just finished watching this drama and I can say, the storyline is really sad. And the only reason I'm not more annoyed at this drama is that I only had to sit through 24 episodes to get a dissatisfying ending, and not Fu Yao's 60+ I don't think I'd watch all of it again, but I'd watch certain scenes that I really enjoyed. The final scene of them ALMOST meeting and missing each other is just CRUEL to the viewer. But Shiyi and Yanyi's split happens ridiculously quickly with very little build-up, and Wang'er's contribution to it seems stupid considering that he fesses up to it as she's leaving, but by then she's had enough. I don't even mind that (SPOILER ALERT), they don't end up together, something that is actually foreshadowed in episode 15 when Wang'er shows Shiyi the last episode of his play "The Heiress" and his female protagonist doesn't end up with her Prince. They've got good pacing, a reasonable plot and the actors are interesting to watch. And now, whenever a promising show with everything going for it, pulls a "quick, conclusion without a satisfying ending", I call that "Pulling a Fu Yao". And I got rewarded with the final episode wrapping up the final plot leaving behind gaping plot holes, in a weak conclusion that took 10 mins and a 45 second shot of the "Happy Ending for the heroine and hero". It got a little messy with some side stories, but the main plot was worth it so I watched that show for 60+episodes. Good story, interesting storylines and characters. Start for the comedy, stay for the drama and end with frustration So back in 2018, there was a tv show called "Legend of Fu Yao".
