I admit I first stopped watching this show after the first 7-8 episodes. I heard only good things about it but i was dissapointed throughout the whole beginning that i decided to drop it. I didn't care for any character in the beginning, except the Demon 2nd Prince and it took 8 episodes for the main male lead to properly appear, and the two main leads meet only 13 episodes in.. So one needs a bit of patience if one wishes to enjoy the fruits than come later on in this show.

It did take quite some time for me to like the main male lead but once i started to like him and to care about the love story between him and the female lead, i couldn't stop watching and had to binge all of it.

Because of the slow start I can't give this series a very good re-watch value, but honestly everything else is done amazingly. While in the story i found that some parts could have been more rich, and that some threads could have been developed in many interesting ways, overall the story is very captivating, especially in the second half.

The actors play superbly, especially the main leads who have great chemistry. The music is beautiful and along the OST of Ashes of Love these are my favourite songs from C-dramas, that I can't stop listening to even now.

The sets and costumes are beautiful, even if the Celestial Realm seemed less impressive to me than it did in AoL, the palaces looked more like Human Realm Palaces than like Godly Palaces. But the atmosphere was beautiful nonetheless.

What i liked about the story was that it was not mainly driven by villains' actions (there were actually only a few villains in the story) but mostly by the decisions and actions of the main characters instead.
The second couple's love story was actually very good and this shows why they deserved a whole spin-off dedicated to them.

This show is a great for everyone who wants to enjoy a beautiful love story with magic and suspense.
