I really loved the story line and plot but when they had xinlan die, i think that was unnecessary and it made the rest of the drama not as good as before. the ending is also kind of weak since everyone is dead except for hua wu que, his son, and xiao yu'er (he's an old man tho). i think that the ending could have been a lot better but other than that it's really good and i would recommend people to watch it (2005 version)
