It took several attempts to get pass the first two to three episodes before it draws you into the story. I was interested in "The Last Immortal" and found that it was a sequel to "The Ancient Love Poetry " so I finally made it passed the beginning episodes. The theme is similar to Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. The actors did a good job. There are some "rolling eyeballs" and "tongue in cheek" moments. Some humor, tears, and heartaches. Some parts are obvious and predictable. I gave a high rating because if compared to the other dramas that are out recently; the quality, script, acting, costumes all made it worth watching. This is one of Xu Kai's better performance and I found him particularly attractive in this drama. One of the reasons I had difficulties getting into the story was because I did not find his acting interesting but this drama changed my opinion of him. His teary eyes was a killer for me.
