i am literally writing this with tears streaming down my face. i have never wrote a review before but i have to write one for this drama.

where to begin with this absolute masterpiece. the story is flawless and the writing is immaculate. i do not know how anybody could disagree with me, unless they are simply stupid. this is so well written with everything tying in perfectly to create one of the most heart warming and beautiful endings to any drama i have ever seen. i was, to put it simply, brought to tears several times because of the final 2 episodes. although not fully a bl, it is practically a bl because it is just so blatantly obvious that shen wei and zhao yunlan are soulmates. if you are here to watch a bl or anything to do with soulmateism, watch this. if you are here to read one of the most beautiful and moving storylines with supernatural elements, watch this. i cannot begin to describe just how much this story has moved me. finally if you are here for the most amazing well-developed side characters, watch this - you will fall in love with every single one of them deeply.

next, the acting. every single person in this show conveyed their characters in the most perfect way possible. but, both of the mains acting was phenomenal. i can't fault them. they were both amazing and brought out the most heart wrenching performances in their characters. i have been deeply moved by their performances specifically. i must give extra credit to zhu yi long playing both shen wei and ye zun as this is seriously phenomenal.

the ost is extremely well made, beautiful, moving and matches every scene perfectly. i will be listening to it everyday.

ultimately, i will be rewatching this series over and over and over because it has seriously impacted my life and changed me as a person. YOU MUST WATCH THIS DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it will change your way of life
