Definitely worth a watch, superb production

I've watched xianxia over the years and must say this drama is definitely worth a watch. Great CGI production, great cast, great music. I usually skip or fastforward cdramas but I didn't do it for this at all, which is really saying something. All scenes were valuable, all relationships were precious and you can't help but root for every single one of them (even the villians). I really don't understand why criticism is thrown against FL for her looks, in fact she brought such fresh air and perspective in acting to the drama that I cannot imagine who else can play this. I was here first for Xu Kai and was thoroughly satisfied with his different roles portrayal. I wish he can do more of such roles.

If I have to nitpick, I can say that there's room for improvement on acting out some major scenes. Don't get me wrong, it's great as it is and there's always things that can be perfected.

Overall, make your own judgment by watching it. I guarantee you'll be in for a roller coaster of emotions!

Best plot, acting and worth it

This is a really great cdrama, so good that I would rewatch it. The story and flow makes a whole lot of sense, every choice the lead makes is within logic and context of character. No stupid decisions, no ridiculous plot. Good solid story.

Acting is superb. I've laughed and teared along, because each character is surprising with epic dialogues and expressions. The ML acting is good with micro-expressions. It keeps me guessing what's next, what are they thinking of. ML character knows his responsibility and doesn't shy away from difficult reality. A very welcome change from other cdramas that just play the same old tropes of "there's only 1 way out".

Overall I am rating this well because it is a brillant, smart and funny drama. Can't wait for the next season!

Story, acting cast, ost

The story is grounded, all relationships are believable and beautiful in their own ways, each character was well-developed and acted out (cast is a.ma.zing.). No stupid decision-making, no stupid xianxia tropes, a credible story that just draws you in.
One of the unique dramas where there's 1 female lead with 4 male leads, but you root for every one of them in their own ways.
OST is lovely, the instrumentals are poignant and grand, each major scene held strong on its own with each lead.
Definitely worth rewatching, especially when there's season 2 coming next time.
