Loved it!
Truly a masterpiece this year, I enjoyed watching this series beginning to end, without skipping any scenes. Xu Cai is truly a handsome and very talented actor, he has the ability to make the viewer feel his emotions. The female lead looked a bit too thin and young for this role. Shangu is supposed to be the strongest out of all the gods and yet she didn’t seem that strong, but she didn’t a great job regardless,Overall I enjoyed ancient love poetry. The characters, storyline and music was all great, ever the side characters made you love them. I loved tianqi’s character development and how the main leads had to play different roles.

Episode 47 when you split in two of you, was so awesome! Whoever wrote the storyline for this drama gets a standing ovation. OMGosh, the actress who played Houchi/Shanggu, Zhou Dong Yu, this is my first time watching her and she was fantastic. Petite as well. I'm excited to see more of her in her future dramas. Where did y'all find Liu Xue Yi, wow! I'm impressed with his acting. Many great actors and one of my other favorite actors is Leon Lai, it is always good to see him play a great part. He was great in Legend of Fuyao and Jiu Liu Overlord. Thank you to everyone that made this storyline great!

It's a gift to humanity.It's a masterpiece in the Chinese history of xuanxia drama.
When I first started watching it randomly , I didn't have high expectations. I continued this drama by chance usually I just leave the boring ones and shift quickly to next one's. As I kept on watching I was astounded by the story and the development . It just skyrocketed. I was inside the drama and I could feel inside damn I have never seen or will ever see anything like this. The actress portrayed shangu's character so well that I have a huge respect for her inside my heart. And xu Kai expression was everything. I cried so much , xu Kai made me cry all night and all day. And shangu omg how can she smile like that and talk like that and see like that, that was next level acting , she just nailed the character portrayal. I know for a fact that in this lifetime Zhou dong yu was meant to do this drama and something inside me tells that it's gonna change her life personally. It was her destiny. I can't even talk enough of Gu Jun how he could make me feel through his acting, the loyalty towards true gods and towards shangu was just the most beautiful thing in the world. And the love between all the characters and the relationship was out of this world , ofcourse. And empress can't tell how much I hated the character, she is such a talent to portray the character so well, damn. Hat's off to each and every one involved in this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Best Xianxia
One of my fave xianxia ever. At first really not that interested and felt like dropping it but im so thankful of my patience and stayed till the end cause now i cant get over on this drama. I also went to read the novel thank you to blizzardahm for translating almpst half of the novel thankyou from the bottom of my heart. Novel and the drama were both amazing tho there's a huge difference since on novel its much cruel and more angst than the drama. I also love zhou dongyu acting and xu kai and also tianqi. I love every character of this drama the ending is a bit dissapointing cause we dont get the moment we wanted the most shanggu and baijue getting married. I wish they had put on the drama on the part of the novel where bai jue died and it shows how depressed shanggu became. Anyways couldnt add anything more this will always remain my favorite no matter what.Was this review helpful to you?
a roller coaster of emotions and amazing characters - just perfect!
I so freaking love this drama. Everybody did an amazing job. The couple compliment each other perfectly. The contrast between Shanggu and Houchi and Bai Jue and Qing Mu are very distinctive and the actors played them really really well. I especially like the adorable faces Shanggu makes and the childish, innocent faces Qingmu makes. I love the bond the true gods share with right amount of banters here and there. It was really beautiful. I love how Shanggu plays the spoiled youngest family and her antics to get what she wants only to be played unknowingly by Zhi Yang and Yue Miat her own game. Even the villians in this drama played their roles really well. Jing Zhao and Xue Ying's conceitedness makes my eye roll every single time it's laughable. I actually hate them more than the actual main villian. It's a pity Wu Huan wasn't able to redeem herself in the end. I also feel like Jing Zhao should've suffered more for all her bad deeds but then again it's how she was raised so I can't really say I blame her. I love the soundtrack as well especially Zhou Shen's Ju Lian and A-Lin's Qian Xun. I guess the only thing I am miffed about is Dong Hua. But only because in my head there is only one Dong Hua and it's Vengo Gao as Dong Hua Di Jun.
I can't count the number of times I have rewatched this drama. Maybe until another one sparks my interest but for now I am stuck with it.

Nicee
A bit of spoiler alertIts overall nice. I cried in the Qingmu and Houchi arc. They did nothing wrong but their story is very tragic. I somewhat hate Bai Jue in here but the reasons were explained in future eps so thats not considered a plothole. Thank God. First few episodes are boring. Bai Jue fall in love with Shanggu too quickly thinking that he was the distant handsome guy trope hahaha. I love Shanggu but her hairstyle in the latter eps doesnt really looks nice. I mean, there's room for improvement. Houchi and Bai Jue's son really has a nice attitude. Love him ahahah.
I love the cgi nd vfx! Very surreal.
Its nice all in all.

One of the Best Xianxia series ever. Just watch it!!!
I start watching this without expectation, everybody keep saying about how they complain about the ML and FL just after watching one eps and keep saying the story of xianxia is always the same. Then I'm sorry have to say if you take people opinion to watch then you will miss one of the best xianxia series.This series start slow but end up giving on of the best roller coaster feeling you will ever had.
Don't try to skip anything cause later on you will feel lost cause every single conversation almost give some information for the story.
I have to give Kudos to the writer, director, editor, actor and actress to give such a well made xianxia series. ^_^

If you stop me, you will regret it...
LIKEWhat Jing Jian did which touched Sen Yu and he made a promise because of Jing Jian
The same thing both Bai Jue and Tian Qi said and they both knew exactly what happened
What Tian Qi and Gu Jun did for Hou Chi - what happened after to Bai Jue... I re-played that scene so many times just to cry
Change of role between Zhi Yang and Tian Qi - hilarious
Zi Han and Hong Ri pair also very funny
DISLIKE
Wu Huan and her daughter who acted exactly like her yucks
MUSIC - personal fav
年岁 Nian Sui - 毛不易 Mao Bu Yi
玦恋 Jue Lian - 周深 Zhou Shen
感应 Gan Ying - 刘宇宁 Liu Yu Ning
千寻 Qian Xun - A Lin
山海 Shan Hai - 灼天 Zhuo Tian
执生念 Zhi Sheng Nian - 叶炫清 Ye Xuan Qing

Is it Good to Watch?
Definitely yes , it was worth it and you'll love this too like i do ✨ . This is a masterpiece drama and became one of my favorite . I have watched it already for how many times but i still feel the same while watching like it was the first time. The two main lead have done their best into this same goes with the others that viewers like us could feel the characters emotions which will keep us with the flow of the story . This is high recommended for everyone . Some parts would give us lessons too and there are parts were too heartbreaking that you need tissues with you but it was worth it 💜🤗✨👏. Overall , it was amazing 🤗Was this review helpful to you?

People who criticized this drama specially the FM y'all are so dumb! If you don't watch this drama, You will miss the half of your life 😅

one of the best underrated xianxia.
honestly, years ago I did try went into this show but it was boring. and, heard about people said it was boring and also the criticisms about the actress’ looks.went into it again few days ago, and by ep3 I was already quite interested to proceed. as episodes went by, I was quite amazed by how I didn’t even fast forward any single scenes until the end. compared to other xianxia I’ve watched, many were unnecessary filler scenes or misunderstandings that keeps piling up just to torture the viewing experience.
story
while many think first arc was boring, it was the base to understand the characters and while they solidify the main characters, the supporting characters were good too. then second arc, my fav arc, my fav couple. and those side couples didn’t disappoint too. I love Qingmu & Houchi. their love was much deeper compared to BJ&SG. things they do for each other and things they went through together. and that’s why the scene she stabbed him, it was really heartbreaking and sad. all those feelings, both side carried. ugh, my tears.
one thing I wish to praise is the villain. it was not those one dimensional villain. but a villain that stem from somewhere relatable in human nature. Wu Huan reminded me so much of Jin Guangyao from untamed. and to show how she grew from being a maid, to the ultimate villain and her downfall. it was just amazing journey.
acting
this is my 2nd XK’s drama. he’s good here as usual. sad boy is his forte tbh.
Zhou Dongyu. can I say this girl is amazing? like really. apart from some scenes where she smiled too much until I thought she did bloopers or something. her acting is damn solid. her smiles were really sweet, her crying scenes were heartbreaking.
OST
Ugh, this drama has one of best range of OST. Mao buyi, Ah Lin… just wonderful.
CGI
my previous drama was Shenli. while it was good, ALP was one level higher. it’s much big scale. see those dragons, qiongqi, Kylin etc it shows a lot.
ALP is one of the best xianxia I’ve seen. while following tropes here and there, what I appreciate here was the storytelling and believable characters. they don’t waste on any scenes and that is already one of contributing factor of a good production.
