Phenomenal show. Bai Lu's acting is amazing and Xu Kai really pulls on your heartstrings when he smiles slightly from Bai Lu's antics. The chemistry is top notch like the CP is one of my top favourites in any xianxia I've watched. OSTs were superb my favourite was 宿命 I've been listening to it non-stop even till now. The only problems I had was the lack of depth in the characters in the 宗门 sect (supposed good guys) I feel like they were just bad for little reason that didn't rly persuade me that they really felt genuinely that way. Wan Lu Sect chracters on the other hand had wonderful chracter developments and interactions with each other throughout the show was meaningful and true to their character. Another was that as the story progresses, all the characters on zhao yao's side seemed to be continually played down in terms of their powers and skills which the producers lost the opportunity to kind of "give a slap in the face" to the bad guys. Lastly the ending was unimpactful ahd more cringey when the kids tried to act like the CP in the past. Especially considering how they r supposed to be siblings. the actress who played Qin Zhiyan really kudos to you for being able to show such clarity in the 2 contrasting characters protrayed with the same face. All in all, execution of the show was ver professional, y'all shouldn't miss out on this show otherwise because it's literally a legend.
You can have a look at my other ratings of other shows to have a rough gauge of how highly I think of this drama. The fact that I watched this so many months ago and came back again to write a review should speak volumes.
