This drama started out really good, until it dragged halfway through. I liked Yuan Bing Yan here better than in "My Sassy Princess" but her character became annoying towards the second half. I mainly plowed through this drama because of Cheng Yi's portrayal of a devoted man who sacrificed everything for the sake of love, including multiple deaths in several lifetimes and realms. How much more a guy can take is beyond me, but apparently a lot if you are to base on Si Feng's actions. This was supposed to be a tragic love story, with heart-wrenching moments, but what I found ridiculous are the numerous times characters are brought back to life, some who I even have long forgotten. Also, I found myself inappropriately laughing during scenes where Si Feng implores with Xuan Ji in the body of the Devil Star, as if they are starring in a body-swap BL drama. I just can't.

honestly one of the top tier dramas i've watched
i just finished this drama like minutes ago and i need to rant so bare withstory:
the storyline is honestly really complicated with a bunch of plot twists and was a bit difficult to keep up with. the love story was so painful to watch and i can't even count how many times i cried during this drama. the ending was so fast, they squeezed everything into like thirty minutes. i don't really like the fact that they had a kid bc it just steers the attention away from them if there's ever a sequel. this drama was an emotional rollercoaster and if you want to cry, go ahead and watch it.
acting/cast:
i've found a new actor to respect, cheng yi is so good at playing this role, i can always sense the pain and that's what makes me cry lol. i don't really have much opinions on the rest of the cast, besides the fact that the actor who played the older sister is so annoying lmao. i heard she has a drama with cheng yi that is modern and thinking about it makes me uncomfortable.
music:
i mean it's a historical drama, the music will always be good. now i have more songs to add to my "listen if you want to cry" playlist
rewatch value:
i don't think i'll rewatch this just because it was so painful to watch si feng get hurt over and over again. the amount of times i cried out of frustration is just too many. the miscommunication and misunderstandings were so annoying to watch, i don't want to go through that again, even though i know it will be a happy ending.
overall:
again, watch it if you want to cry. i binged this in a couple days and pulled an all-nighter LOL overall great drama. just pretty stressful to watch.

A full package, totally worth waiting
Love this drama from the beginning to endThe story was captivating, keeping me glued to my screen
It was so well acted
And the ost is so cooling
I love this drama too much,for me it is perfection.
The casting was totally on point
From the Heros to the villians you can't help loving them
The vice palace chief was very much it
He made the show even better.
I doubt ever finding something so addictive
It just gives the feeling of authenticity
It will definitely take a while to get over this piece if I do get over it
Overall the drama is captivating to watch
Prepare your tissues though
Let this drama take you on an amazing ride

No matter how good one is, there are some who will hate them.
No wonder, when it comes to best xianxia lists, LaR is always one of the best. I couldn't search the right praise about this but one thing is for sure, i will always ask God to give me my own kind of SiFeng. This is also my first time watching a xianxia where a female lead is stronger that the male lead, nevertheless, both powers are excellent! The male lead could really protect the female lead easily. Also, the amount of frustrations whenever Xuanji don't believe Sifeng, and will stick to what the elders' sect are saying and her Senior annoying Hao Chen.And for me, the title itself gives justice to the whole content of the series. For me, LOVE of xuanji and sifeng, and REDEMPTION for Dijun and Star of Mosha. Nevertheless, they're connected with each other. Stunning CGI and OSTs!!

Thank You Cheng Yi.

Rewatch Value Rating has changed from a 1 to a 7
I am now such a kiwi that not only did Cheng Yi get me to watch this show for him, I have now found myself rewatching it because of him as I understand that a lot of his characters are tragic with sad endings, whereas this one is a satisfying conclusion. People are more than their face. This was his breakthrough role and I can see why 💕
***
I was told that Cheng Yi is still alive at the end of the series so I made it to the end alive with him but feeling just as comatose.
I am starting to pick up on cues in the first few episodes that tell me whether or not I'm going to like a show. This is one of those shows. I initially dropped this at episode 3 but Mysterious Lotus Casebook is defeating every other C-drama as my favourite C-drama right now and I'm a little in love with Cheng Yi and I wanted more of him so I picked it up again just for him. I was honestly not interested in any one else. I was skipping the sister (I found her very annoying) and 6th senior scenes loads of times before I was interested in them. I skipped a lot of side stories. It was around episode 21 when Cheng Yi starts getting tortured was when I finally stopped skipping and paying attention.
The FL not having her 6th senses didn't make a lot of sense to me because she could still see and hear and smell etc so she technically still had them but a minor thing I could overlook. The one thing I had a big problem with was the cheesey battle moments. I found this very cringey at times when Xuangi would unleash her powers and you would get this Power rangers style level up. I would burst out laughing when I was supposed to be cheering her on. She starts off as the typical FL in too many asian dramas. Naive, childish and a little stupid passed off as innocent. Listen, I get that she doesn't have her senses and doesnt feel the same way as others but she falls face first into Cheng Yi's lap while he's sitting in a bath and just continues like, oh, wait, I dropped something and just smiles happily while she gropes around the tub, and my sweet boy is just sitting there, cupping his manhood, speechless. I mean, I laughed but really? That's not innocence, that's just dense.
This pretty much continues until she realises that she's the reincarnated God of War. After that, we lose the naivety, and we get a deeply manipulated and emotional FL instead. Again. This is where Cheng Yi saved me because I would give up with this kind of character and would make jokes about taking a shot every time you hear 'Si Feng'.
But Cheng Yi. I like his work. I like his face. I like his voice. He calms me and I was able to find my grounded centre every time he appeared. He did the best with the character he had been given. He does seem a little bit more stiff in this series but that may be how he's was told to play the character, who's whole purpose is to get beaten and abused through out most of the series. His whole purpose is to love and redeem and the FL which can feel a little flat after a while. But again, my bias saved me here. If it had been anyone else or if I didn't know Cheng Yi, I'd have dropped this series really quickly.
Another notable mention is Liu Xue Yi. This is the 3rd series I've seen with him and he's creeping up beside Cheng Yi in my favouritism. If I didn't know this actor, I would have been wanting to rip his eyes out but I actually enjoyed watching him play an incredibly hateable villain, which makes it easier when you are faced with a character like Hao. He's the worst kind of villain because he's obsessed with his own self righteousness and he's a little psychotic, that I honestly found it a little strange at the end that everyone felt sorry for him while he just faded into dust to be reborn as a mortal, WHILE MY BOY is lying fricking bleeding and dead for the 100th time.
The Jade Emperor is probably the most useless, all powerful character I think I've ever seen.
By episode 40, I was back to skipping again. It lost it's momentum for me and as per trend, the last stretch of episodes just went off the wall crazy that I was rolling my eyes at just how ridiculous and off the wall the plot got. It wasn't enough for Xaungi to be the God of War, she's the Devil Star as well. And was a man. So I can imagine a lot of people just being like huh? by the time they get to those episodes. The ending was also ridiculous but at least it was a happy conclusion. Cheng Yi was Momma while Xuangi ran around drinking and enjoying her mortal life, seeming to have reverted back to her old clueless self. AKA. Si Feng continues to get walked over but this time it's in the name of having fun.
I really loved the characters Teng She and Liu. If I had seen more of them earlier on in the series, I'd paid attention quicker. They were great to watch.
An unexpected big hit of this show is the soundtrack. I am absolute Si Feng in love with the song Love like Coloured Glass. It was ep 28, with a scene on the bridge when I suddenly clicked on the song. If it played before I hadn't noticed but that's what happens when you're not fully invested in a show. You miss things. I immediately stopped the video to look up that song and it's been played ever since.
So again, thank you Cheng Yi. I enjoyed watching you and I got introduced me to a new favourite song.

Impressive, really deserves its success.
I usually never write reviews, but this drama has left me in awe. At first, I was skeptical; not going to lie, but I'm not a huge fan of the female lead. Over the past two years, I've seen/heard so many good reviews, and finally watched it. Wow. I am ABSOLUTELY mind-blown. There are so many plot twists, and the story is very captivating. The acting by Cheng Yi (male lead) will make you absolutely head-over-heels for him. **NOTE** if you don't really like the "misunderstandings" trope... well lets just say this drama could be titled "Love and Misunderstandings"... haha. However, the plot and everything else will just make you... go CRAZY for them!One thing I will say, is the amount of times the male lead spits out blood is a little... haha. I would say this drama is on the same level as Ashes of Love, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, etc. It's really a masterpiece. I have yet to rewatch it yet (because I don't want my heart to break again for Si Feng... ) but I know I will be rewatching it soon. Trust me. You will NOT regret watching it. Don't worry- it's a happy ending!

Great story
I really loved the story and the characters. You get to know the real meaning of love. The male leads love is unconditional. He just love the female lead. It’s true love cause it does not matter whose body or what gender he just loves her as she is and ready to accept her in any form.The plot and detailing was so good. It had good mystery and at the same time it showed how mortal cherish and enjoy their life. It was somewhat giving message that mortal life we enjoy and experience everything in life like sorrow, love and sadness. This Drama also focus on three reclaim that every one is equal not just heaven or those immortal living in heaven are superior than demon. Lastly the male lead and female lead was v beautiful character including the supporting role they all made us interested and hooked up.

Amazing Drama!
Loved the show! Music and set was so beautiful! I loved the characters as well. At first I thought Xuan Ji was kinda dumb and not the cutest but Crystal Yuan portrayed the character so well that at the end I thought Xuan Ji was so beautiful. I think they did well with aging the character. Si Feng was always hot and when he’s dressed in red he looked gorgeous.Supporting characters had interesting storylines and really kept things interesting, especially Teng She and Qing Long.
I’d probably have to wait like a couple months to rewatch since the show is so long, but definitely worth it! Especially episode 52 with one of the only kisses I’ve seen in cdramas that isn’t like eyes open and just a peck. It was adorable with how happy Si Feng was, and the chemistry between the main couple was believable and beautiful.

Nice Story but Lot of Misunderstanding
This is my very first review on this page. And I'd like to write after I finished it.I decided to watch this because a lot of people said this is a great drama and has some similarities to other Wuxia.
For 59 episodes, I started enjoying the story after 30. There is too much misunderstanding that made me exhausted. Some characters that I hope will be better as time goes on, just do not match my expectation.
I watched Cheng Yi from The Dream of Chang'an, and I really like how he portrayed the character. And he really did a great job for this drama. I adore his character, but the FL, I'm sorry.
The FL made me suffocate just because of her behavior for the first round of stories. You don't know how happy I am when she knows the truth. Crystal Yuan does a good job as FL, but I'm not really getting the God of War vibe from her, although she wears the armor or has a fierce hairstyle.
Other characters that catch my eyes are Liu Xue Yi, Bai Shu, and Fu Fang Jun. They really fulfill my expectation for their character.
The music is just so-so for me,. Some are good, but some just sound not to my taste.
The Story was good, but for me, the continuous misunderstanding parts are made me exhausted.
Overall I like this drama, but for now, I don't feel like I'm gonna watch it again. But it's still worth watching if you want to watch it. I fall in love with Cheng Yi and can't wait to watch his upcoming drama.
