ANCIENT LOVE POETRY: The Underrated XiaXia Drama
I find this drama quiet boring at first yet I started to love it when Shanggu started to became powerful.
FL:
Many people don't like this drama because the FL doesn't look that beautiful and they say she is bad acting but for me she's perfect for this role. This drama is the reason why I fall in to Zhou Dong Yu. Her aura as a chief god of chaos is undeniably great. When you watched all episodes you can see the difference between Shang Gu and Hou Chi. Even at first sight anyone can tell if it is Shang Gu or Hou Chi. Both characters have cruel fate. Shang Gu the girl who was born in Heaven and Earth Platform in the name of Chief God, died in Tribulation of Chaos to save God Realm from being destroyed, and being alone in void for 60,000 years. Hou Chi the girl that was made by Bai Jue by god creating spell, became a goddess even before she was born, hated and became a laugh stocking all around the three realms. In her life she only wants to live freely with her father, husband and children. But died and didnt even got to see her son grow up. Both characters have only wished to be with the person they loved yet they died to save the world (Shang Gu) and to wake up the sleeping chief god in her body (Houchi).
ML:
I can say that Xu Kai acted so well in this drama. Its hard for many young actors to act as a cold, powerful, and mature guy like Bai Jue and Qing Mu. Speaking honestly I like Qing Mu more than Bai Jue even tho they are the same person. Bai Jue's love for Shanggu is boundless that he didn't even care how much she will hate him because he only wants her to live as long as three realms. I cursed Bai Jue a lot especially since the time he woke up in Qing Mu's body, when he didnt care when Houchi's spiritual vein was cut, when he let Wu Huan hurt Hou Chi, when Gu Jun had to die just for Bai Jue's sacrifice for 60,000 years will not be in vain. I find his plan so stupid yet you can't fully hate him since he only did that for Shang Gu. While Bai Jue wants Shang Gu to hate him so that she will not be sad once he died, Qing Mu is different, he knows that he and Hou Chi is a couple so they should bear their problems together. He knows that they shouldn't lie to each other. Even though knowing that he will disappear soon once Bai Jue wakes up he didn't regret waking up Bo Xuan instead he wants to spend his last years with Houchi. I feel so sad to Qing Mu whenever I thinks that he didn't even see Hou Chi or he's son before he died. Qing Mu's and Houchi's story in this drama is heartbreaking yet I love their powerful love to each other.
Support Actors/Roles:
Liu Xue Yi, Leon Lai, and Jenny Zhang did great to their characters. Liu Xue Yi character as Tian Qi is lovable and sad. His one sided and brotherly love to Shang Gu/Houchi is also boundless like Bai Jue. His funny character made me fall for him completely especially when he wanted to kill all beings in three realms just to became the Chief God Of Chaos so that he will take the tribulation for Shang Gu melted my heart. Like Tian Qi I also loved Gu Jun he's. Leon Lai's character as a loyal disciple, impartial god and lovely father to Houchi. When he cultivated the shred of Original Being of Chaos so that he can give it back to his master once Shang Gu will wake up. Shang Gu is right when he picked Gu Jun than Mu Guang. I loved Jenny Zhang not because of her character but because of her acting. Her acting is top notch and perfect for her role as villain. Her character is freaking annoying yet I loved her when she was still a humble maid in God Realm than as the selfish Heavenly Empress in Immortal Realm. Other than this 3 I also loved Feng Ran, Jian Jian and many more. And don't forget Yuemi the Goddess of Moon and Stars. It's a pity that she died and not reborn I feel bad for her.
CGI:
Other than the actors the one I loved the most is the CGI effects and the set.
I loved the way they portrayed God Realm, Heavenly Realm (Immortal Realm and Demon Realm). While Heavenly Palace is full of gold and white backgrounds portrays that people inside only cares for powers than three realms. While in Demon Realm is full purple backgrounds that portrays their loyalty to the Demon God (Tian Qi). While Heavenly Palace and Demon Realm both portrays their greed in power, God Realm is different. God Realm has the most simple backgrounds yet beautiful. From their dress to jewels and everything, God Realm shows how gods cares for three realms and all beings than their status or power. All gods knows their responsibility as gods and deities. And for fighting effects the best and most detailed are when Shang Gu came back from Nether World at Ep 11-12. As they said Tencent Games effects is indeed the best.
Story:
The story was slow at first so you will feel bored and suddenly drop it so to the people who will start watching it please don't be impatient. The story will start to move to its pace in Episode 5. I also love that the four True Gods stands as the four or five most important elements of the world. Shang Gu the Chief God, God Of Chaos and the Master of Pilrimage Hall, Bai Jue the God Of Fire, God Of War and the Master of Changyuan Hall, Tian Qi the God Of Water, God Of Demons and the Master Of Taichu Hall, Zhiyang the God Of Earth and the Master of Chaos Hall, Xuan Yi the former Chief God and God Of Air.
Their first life is fun where all of them was still living happily and freely in God Realm, while the second life is tragic and heart breaking and the third life is more heartbreaking. As summary as the episode goes, the story become more and more heartbreaking. Remember to bring tissue when you watch it.
