Lets see: demons, master / disciple love relationship, morally grey characters, female who is a demon but does not wish to be

All of these things apparently are no-nos in Chinese tv, but hey, lets film this show anyway! Oh, lets make 15+ episodes of misunderstandings. Lets also make every man obsessed with the main character. Lets also WITHHOLD moments of confession and understandings for the sake of derailing / padding out the story because 'it's not the time'. Lets also not have a single good female for the main character to look up to, or a male who isn't in love with her. The list goes on...

I give it a high rating for the soundtrack and the cast, but heaven help me, this was a waste.

I never want to see another show adapted like this because the novel apparently is great but it was ripped apart to make it work. If you have to rip apart source material to make something work it probably shouldn't be adapted.
