I "completed" this series in the way I currently watch any series—skipping around. I watched a few episodes in the beginning, middle and end. Even though the beginning is a bit confusing because there's so much information, it's still interesting befuddlement; that is, it didn't bother me that I didn't totally get everything story-wise and was unsure of who's who (so many characters, many looking alike because of similar clothing and one bearded man looks too similar to the next bearded man).

In the middle I got that there's too much intrigue going on, and I say "too much," not in a bad way, but in a way that confirms my thoughts that being undercover/spying is not a healthy way to go about your life; it takes too big of a toll on your life (I used to watch a lot of police drama (HK and American) and always saw it as a devastating role to play because you can't help but get enmeshed in relationships with the other side and you end up having to betray them and that can't be good mentally).

The ending had me in tears even after finishing it and as I'm writing this review. I get that maybe the way I watch series does not qualify me to be an accurate reviewer but just the bit that I saw moved me to the point I felt more people should be enticed to give it a try. I love seeing eye candy and lots of action, but The Wind Blows From Longxi blows everything out of the water with its solid acting, story and production. This series puts things in perspective—that we're all specks of dust in the universe and there's just so many things that are much more bigger than our short lived time on this earth. This is good to remember when we're feeling down or anxious about whatever's going on in our lives.
