I recommend this one, especially to Asian drama newbs

As always, possible spoilers ahead.

This is another one of my favorites, though, oddly enough, I skipped the latter half of the second arc and just read episode summaries instead. I just could not watch how badly SuSu was treated (seriously, though, she was MORTAL, they could have just sent them down to live out their life in the mortal realm and in six months, Ye Hua would have been back! And Ye Hua's family kept acting like she [a lowly human] had seduced a god [so they must have not thought they were all that great and powerful then if one mere human could cause such havoc] when he was the one who had pulled the wounded bird act so he could stay with her).

The first arc was...meh. Its kind of hard to believe that Bai Qian only felt for her master as teacher/student since she sacrificed soooooooo much to keep his body alive. Though its fun watching Vin Zhang as a demon prince/king (seriously, Li Jing's epitaph should read "Wanted to be a better person but couldn't". If you loved a girl so much you spent thousands of years moping about her disappearance then another period of time begging her to take you back...maybe should not have cheated on her in the first place!? Though I personally would find it hard to refuse anyone looking like Vin Zhang anything...;P).

The second arc I could not finish (see above), but I liked the third arc a lot and that is the one I rewatch. The way Ye Hua looks at Bai Qian when he finds out who she is...whew...*fans self*. And when Bai Qian goes to get her revenge on Su Jin and then the trial afterwards. Very satisfying. And the fact that Bai Qian, once she remembers her past, is not about to let it slide with Ye Hua (well, at least until he goes to battle). And its a happy ending because nothing is worse that wasting hours of time you should be spending on work, exercise, studying, etc. all for it to be a tragedy.

And can someone please explain the logic behind doing all sorts of evil things just to try and get a dude who clearly is just not that into you? Are there actually people like that in the world or is that just a drama trope? Not sure why Su Jin was all surprised when Ye Hua stabbed her. B***** had it coming.

The side romance between Bai Feng Jiu and Dong Hua was meh. It was cute when she was a human concubine, but he looked so old in that form, it was kind of a bit ick compared to how young she looked.

Random thing I appreciated: The stylists taking the time to put Mark Chao in a different wig when he was going to bed (like Chen Kun in Rise of Phoenixes). One of the great mysteries of both period/costume Korean and Chinese dramas alike for me: Did men wear their hair down when they went to bed!? I get that it requires a wig change from the director's perspective, but as someone who had long hair and regularly wore it up, the thought of wearing it up to bed makes me cringe. So its that just because it requires a wig change or did ancient Korean and Chinese men never really let their hair down? Of course, the other thing I appreciated, was Ye Hua in his jammies in general. Tee hee.

Anyway, to me, it was worth the watch. But then I like XianXia as a genre so I'm a bit biased.
