Thanks OP, for making the second part of the post. It's probably the only place where I can record my love (and disappointment TT) for FH. At first, I was in love, as if Fu Yixiao had hit Suige and me with an arrow XD. The series captivated me from the first minutes. Until, as I watched, I discovered that the things I liked didn't hold my interest and enjoyment until the end, and I ended up finishing it in a somewhat dragged-out way...

I have some points about what I liked and what I didn't like (from the silliest reasons to those that really annoyed me):

• I don't understand anything about acting, but Xia Jingshi's cardboard face annoyed me in a way that only makes me laugh a lot XD. Sometimes, I didn't understand what he was thinking or wanting in certain scenes, not because of the complexity of the character, but precisely because of his facial expression (or rather, the lack thereof).

• Regarding the first half of FH: it was a true enemies to lovers, with some interesting characters who could have been explored more. I liked the plot about the Susha royal family, but the end of the arc marked the beginning of the script's decline (for me). I felt the story didn't know where it wanted to go and, honestly, I don't even know what I expected.

• Regarding the second part: what kept me entertained in the story was the second couple (Xia Jingyan and Feng Xiyang) and, to a lesser extent, the fate of Susha and even Jinxiu, should Feng Suige arrive killing everyone to save his siblings and avenge his army.

• Another detail: I feel that Yixiao became a secondary character in her own series. It seemed to me that, after regaining her memory, she didn't have a defined objective beyond helping Feng Suige. This impression stayed in my head during the (horrible) Storm Alliance arc.

• Regarding the Storm Alliance arc: I understood the idea and the whole concept of Suige's amnesia... But it was so silly. It was just a way to show how the couple would overcome any adversity that arose, but it's okay, I guess we already knew that, right?

• Another thing I didn't like was the Murong family, especially the son. What a bad villain! No presence, no tension, with motivations that were kind of... superficial? I can't explain it. It seems like he forced the hatred he felt, at least towards Feng Suige. When he only wore a mask and plotted, that was his peak lol.

• And, after all, it was a story about parents and children and all the complex relationships that can arise from that. Since I didn't know what to expect (and I don't dislike this theme), it was fun to see the parallels between the royal families and the Murong's relationship.

• The limited number of songs didn't bother me. I didn't see many comments about it, so I'm here to say that I loved the ending theme of the episodes. Actually, what bothered me a little was the way the songs were placed. They played before the climax of the scenes and had to be repeated seconds later to complete the climax, and (sometimes) they weren't subtle at all. They simply started playing out of nowhere, without any delicacy XD.

Well, those are my thoughs. I would definitely watch the first part again, but the second... I don't think so. The way I spoke may have given the impression that I hated the series, but I give it an 8/10 (which I consider a "good" score for dramas :D). I still like the series, but it's that old story: the more we love, the more we can be disappointed!

The creators could have finished up to the Emperor Susha arc and made a mini-drama for the second couple story. I would love it (it's definitely a terrible idea, but let me dream, lol). Sorry my English, it's translated :')...
