Based on the folk legend of the same name, I was expecting a little more flair from this fantasy series. The romance between Xu Xian, a physician based in Lin’an, and Bai Suzhen, a 1000-year-old white snake spirit left a lot to be desired.

The storyline was original, but had a lot of potential given the well designed graphics. Unfortunately, with a staggering length of 36 episodes and a lack of well choreographed chemistry between characters, it was difficult to watch all the way through. At certain points, I even lost track of the storyline as there were lots of underdeveloped plotlines and an exorbitant amount of needless scenarios.

I still think this series is worth giving it a watch if you're curious, but it just wasn't the right fit for me.
