Very entertaining, new approach, but could have been more

I love the begging and I love the end.
I was so happy because it have a different approach to the whole back in time and revive stories.
The thing is, what a mess during the middle. It gets so repetitive, it gets confuse and it has a lot of unnecessary little plots.
It could have been amazing, but I had to lower the rate because I just got really tired during the drama. What a shame.

Good things: The FL is amazing. The production is definitely beautiful. Very interesting story. Good end.

Bad things: The story loses its track during the middle. I'm not sure if the ML it's the best for the role, he is definitely handsome though. The other characters are just there...

Entreteining drama with good FL and amazing qugin music

Ok, finished watching. Some comments:
This was very entertaining, you can have a good time watching something not so serious and being curious of what is coming next.
I loved the OST, the amount of guqin musics was wonderful.
Love the FL, such a cool actress. The other actors are good as well, but I have a special place for her and the 2ML.
You can see that it's low budget drama, but they really put some effort, so congrats to the production.
It's not a very heavy drama, so it's surprising that some characters actually die, some that deserve it and some that don't as well.
The weird thing is the plot, so many things happen, sometimes the story was all over the place. Interesting things are mixed with repetitive and annoying situations. It got really tiring watching the MCs on the brink of the death constantly,
What was unusual is the palace drama become a jianghu story, I really liked that.
The end was satisfying, a cool expected way to finish the drama.
I feel that I'm being overly nice to give it a 9, but that it's because it hoked me enough to bingewatch.

Perfec perfect perfect

I just love this drama.

Let's start by saying that for a short drama, it's better than a lot of longer dramas I watched.
The production, photography and camera angles are just to die for. Really, it's difficult to find something this beautiful and cool. Add to that amazing fight scenes!
I love the cast, omg, I really love the cast. They are such good actors and the characters are amazing. Zhao Yi Qin is ideal for his role.
About the OST, it's so cool, gives everything you need to feel the depth of the scenes.
Now, the whole vibe is amazing, mystery with dark elements, angst, anger and then some sweet and warm moments.
It's definitely a roller coaster for your heart, you get so evolved with the story and find good plot twists within. I really like the story and complexity of it all. Just one thing wrong here: I got a bit confuse by the whole branch and heart thing for some time, but ok, I think I understood it later.
This whole drama is very similar to Butterflied lover, but it's not the same director, so I got confuse about it, I could sewer it was the same.

Wuxia at it´s best

Yeah, this is what a great drama looks like, it's amazing.
It kind of remind me of The Untamed (that continues to be the best), but with some dragging episodes and more investigation cases.
Amazing actors, really, the main actors are everything, I like them all.
The main story is so good!!! It even has some major plot twists I wasn't expecting for.
The plots and the characters made me happy, sad, anxious, excited, such complex feelings that only a major drama can get out of you. I was fascinated by the main characters relationships, I could not stop watch and wonder what was going to happen next. The end made me sad, but it's a good end.
The OST is beautiful.
The production is consistent, very well-made.
There are two things to consider:
1. Romance it's definitely not the focus, don't watch looking for that.
2. There are some episodes that you want the main story to develop, but they spend too much time on the side stories and the drama became a little draggy.
Overall, 10 out of 10.

Best Xianxia of some years now

This drama is so amazing I don't even know how to describe.
It's going to be in my heart right next to Ashes of Lovea and Lost you forever regarding the xianxias.

What's so good?
I love the cast, such good actors.
The pace of the story is great, sometimes very slow and beautiful, sometimes very fast and trilling.
The photography is amazing, the way the cameras capture every scene is beautiful.
The CGI it's one of the best I have seen.
The OST is so good, you are gonna remember the show only for it's music.
The story is very interesting, something new, keeps you wondering what is gonna happen next.

Of course, there are some things I wish could be better, like explore more Mofang and the King of Chimeis. But I will turn a blind eye on that.

Different story with beautiful production

Take your time with this drama.
I tried to watch it a couple of times, but it took me a more appropriate time to really appreciate.
It's a slowpaced drama that has a different and interesting plot in the begging.
The characters are deep and complex.
Except for a few fight scenes, there is no fantasy element to it.
The production is beautiful, I liked the actors and the OST it's pretty good.
But it's not a happy drama, most of the time you are dealing with intense feelings. Therefore, if you want a light romance story, this is not for you.
Good thing: The end is happy!

Epic Period Drama

Yeah, I understand now why this is an epic drama, by the end of if I was so involved with the story and all the characters. Good end as well, bittersweet, as expected of Chinese dramas.
The production did a good job, very well-made.
The actors are wonderful, they really capture the emotions. What was different for me is the age/looks of the actors, usually they look younger in recent dramas, but this is not a complaint, I liked the more realist aspect of it.
I do have to say that some plots should be better explored, like the poison thing and his relationship with the jianghu world. Also, there are some plots that made me mad that he didn't see it coming, were you not the good one?
Well, do watch it, it's worth your time.

Hot drama with unique story and problematic characters

First thing, this drama is hot! I have no idea what happened with the censorship, but I'm not complaining. Get ready for some steamy kisses. Although, I think the hot scenes happened more in the beginning.
All the main actors are beautiful! They know how to choose a cast.
The production is very good as well, the alluring visual is a big part of the drama
About the story itself, I have never watched something like this, very different. You have all the classic elements like revenge, secret identity, lovers that can't be together and palace intrigue, but add to it different adventure elements in a whole new context that is the desert.
Unfortunately, by the end of it, there are a lot of plot wholes. A few things could be better explored, I fell like there was a tension created for nothing.
You can also find some characters very problematic, all the abuse thing, but I'm not going to detail it.
The OST is pretty good.
Overall, I'm quite happy with it, it's far from perfect, but kept me curious to the end.

This drama has it all! Definitely a masterpiece.

I'm very happy about this drama, the long wait since season 1 was worth it.

It's a very complete drama, you will feel trilled with the plots, emotional and wanting to cry in the heavy parts, laugh with the funny moments and warm your heart with the relationships and some romance sweet moments. I mean, I was really going through a lot of emotions during the drama, all that in a good pace, it's quite exceptional.

What is a surprise for me is that I usually like more the romance part, but not in this drama, everything else is so interesting that I don't really care that the romance is not the main thing.

And the comedy parts are just in the right amount and tone. It's very hard for me to find something funny, but I liked how the funny moments were made. I laughed out loud a few times.

Everything else is just so good. I loved it all.
The actors, so amazing!!
The plots
The costumes
The fight scenes
The photography

A lot of sweet moments and beautiful declarations

I just finish rewatching this with a smile on my face.
I know it's not perfect, specially because of the FL, that can be annoying for making silly fights or fool choices. Moreover, the capital politics is not the greatest moment, the best part of the drama is the first.
Even so, you have a lot of good things.
One of the best things is Caesar Wu, he is just perfect for the serious general.
I also adore the romance and the couple overall, you have a lot of sweet moments and some beautiful declarations. The couple dynamic it's interesting to watch, all the misunderstandings are solved, they have good chemistry and kisses, and I like the way that he defends her in so many situations.

Amazing production but bad story

This drama shows exactly why Jianghu shouldn't get involved with palace politics, the result is disastrous.
I have to say that the actors and production are amazing, excellent cast, cool fight scenes, very well made drama. Those are the only things that actually kept me going.

The problem I have here is with the story. If you are in the path for vengeance, why going to the capital and getting so famous, especially if you don't have good martial arts yet. I mean, would not be better just stay out of the radar?
Also, at the beginning the ML looked so cunning, but as the drama progress looks like he never was.
Because of the story, the drama is very dragging, so much unnecessary characters and moments.
And don't get me start about the end, it just makes me angry.

Let's kill the FL because of jealous - should be the name

Looks like all the show is about Xia Zi Xun and Mantian trying to kill the FL.
Really, all the drama it's about they being ridiculous obsessed with hurting the FL because of the ML.
It's so bad, there must be a thousand dialogues about this. Especially related to the obsession of Zixun, he just allowed her to do all those things. And he knew Martian was trying to hurt the FL and did nothing!
And the ML is just a moron, never steeping up when needed. If he had a voice and stood up most of the problems wouldn't have happened.
He was also treating the FL really bad in so many moments, blaming her or avoiding her. Just take the part of that instrument for the demon clan, he left her take the blame, he could just say that he allowed her to take it.
Ah, and the romance? Pretty much non-existent.

The only good thing is the production and OST.

Beautiful drama! Amazing cinematography and acting

This was beautiful, I could watch it just for the cinematography, it blow me away.
The actors are great, every feeling and emotions greatly represented. It was a joy to watch.
The story is pretty interesting and consistent. I know it can be repetitive (his search and constantly being healed by her), but it was enough for me, much better than those confusing dramas with messy plots. The beginning of the story is more active, but the rest of it have such interesting pace, is lovely to what their feelings deepen, their live obsessions change, the importance of very little moment together. If you appreciate a poetic life of honor and commitment, this drama is for you.

Romantic wuxia drama

I really enjoyed this drama
It's quite nice to watch a story with good wuxia elements (martial world and the search for a supreme power technique) combined with such romantic ML.
The ML is really sure of what he wants and is not afraid of letting the FL know it, the declarations are beautiful.
All the characters are interesting, although the FL can be a bit enjoying sometimes.
The plot is nothing new but well-made, the pace of the drama is so good in the beginning, but the story gets a little messy and repetitive around episode 20.
The production is good, but I would like they had done a better job with the ML and FL hair, when he is in his home is so much better. The ML bangs could be better, and the FL could use the hair without braids sometimes.
Overall, I recommend the drama, I had a nice time watching it.
