EPISODE 1: Lightning and Credits: A Familiar yet unfamiliar introduction.

1. Genre
-Familiar: Demon-hunting and Transmigrating to a book is common on c-novels. If you love to read this kind of genre, the plot is easy to grasp and very true to its premise. The drama opens the introduction with Ling Miaomiao's relatable character as a reader and worker. The book's plot the FL reads is explained through great watercolor painting style animation which I appreciate.
-Unfamiliar: Game System/Book Transmigration genre is a rare to see in c-dramas so it's still refreshing to see in the screen especially there are many scenes that I can't help but to laugh out loud such as lightning scenes, credits scene, and Ling Miaomiao's inner monologues about the novel.

2. Memories
- There's a famous quote by Jonathan Dunne "In the end, all we have is memories". The memories of FL in a certain scene where it feels like her two worlds collide.
-Usually in some dramas, if leads don't get happy ending in ancient world, there's possibility again to meet in modern world as another person. In this drama, we get that too in this drama but it's not the leads, but someone related to our FL (I don't want to spoil who it is) and this time, they didn't meet in modern world, but in ancient setting. This scene pokes my heart.

3. Clichés put into good use
-It's not a rare sight for Xianxia to see leads either ML/FL to be attacked by lightning usually punished due to disobedience to their master or God's or Heavenly rules. This drama add used that lightning not to create heart wrenching scene but into comedy gold. Added with closing credit scene, I can't help to laugh out loud.
