They present beautiful scenes, and because the central pair (CP) are married halfway through the story, there are plenty of intimate moments compared to the vague intimacy often depicted when the CP isn't married in other Wuxia dramas. For some reason, the filming locations seem different this time; there appear to be fewer of the usual buildings commonly seen when productions are shot in Hengdian. The CGI complements the story without going overboard. The chemistry between the leads is on fire, and the acting is top-notch.

I love how the story provides solid reasons for each character's actions, supported by detailed background stories for the supporting characters. The director, known for his expertise in short dramas, likely contributed to the well-paced narrative. Oh, and there's a happy ending (the main reason I waited for the series to finish before watching).

The only thing that annoys me is the random Douyin-inspired makeup on one of the female supporting characters. Other than that, everything is spot-on!
