THANKS TO RUNYU.
To cut the chase:
This was likened to Romeo and Juliet and although I hold no expertise in literature, I'd say it was overstated. If anything, the affection between Jinmi and Xufeng was a depiction of 'crush' gone full-throttle. They were tied by feeble faith but strong attachment. In the absence of constant affirmation (mainly on Xufeng's part), it will fall apart and so their relationship is fragile and rather volatile in a sense. These two also appeared to be devoid of sense of reality - it was understandable considering Jinmi's situation, however as for Xufeng; who have gone to wars (and a General/Commander on top of it) and supposedly had real social interactions to boot, he was imprudent and sometimes struck as holier-than-thou character. Which was a máfan since he's allegedly male protagonist with sound mind.
Overall, the seemingly 'green' sentiment, their lack of depths and bearings made it a lot difficult to sympathize and eventually to root for. I found greater enjoyment indulging in Runyu's character arc, Moon Immortal and Immortal Yuan's banter and Liuying and Muci's love story. 8/10 because Jinmi and Xufeng are lucky to have great condiments to spice up their trifles.
------------------------
Reason(s) to watch:
1/ Runyu, the second male lead. Fated to be alone, predestined to suffer and serve as scapegoat for literally everything that happens in the realms, he is no doubt, the most tragic character I've ever encountered in drama-land and is the most befitting/entitled to -fighting against the odds- term among the main roles. Luo Yunxi's portrayal of deeply-layered Runyu was engrossing and compensated most flaws and disengagement I felt towards the story to the extent, he was the sole reason of me continuing this drama. Even in his most subtlety, he managed to capture the essence of Runyu, evoked empathy and carried his character arc spectacularly.
2/ Tu Yao, the Heavenly Empress. Tu Yao was downright despicable and the embodiment of evil. The sight of her red lips and eye squints made my stomach lurches. In nutshell, Kathy Chow is the bomb.
3/ Needless to say the OST.
