Great watch with amazing cast and good quality CGI but expected more with such great premise
Before watching Cang Lan Jue i watched couple of xianxia series and this is by far one of the best with great basis for a story and most importantly character arc of male lead and female lead.
Pros :
Great plot with different basis where so called Devil/Demon are not bad. its just the matter of perspective and female lead learns this early on. The way both grow throughout the story is great to watch. Other characters are good too. So the whole experience with hilarious body swapping happening initially (again great performance the way they switch back and forth and show each others traits immediately) is great.
Cast : best part of the series is cast. Wang Hedi and Yu Shuxin are so perfect and the chemistry just oozes out!! Will repeat so many others here. Hope we get to see them together again.
Cons :
What i did not like and i realised is the case with so many other dramas i watched is either male lead or female lead leaving their main premise shown initially. Like Male lead or female lead but mostly male lead being in a responsible and powerful position (be it general, or emperor, or moon supreme in this case) and initially they are shown to be good at it too. But by the end of the series they start ignoring and at the end just leave it. I get it if there had to be choice where they had to chose between love and responsibility and they chose love but thats not the case at all.
*contains spoilers*
For ex: the episodes where DFQC just spent tending to the plant forgetting everything. Some find it very romantic etc etc but for me it does not sit well. He could have done the tending being a moon supreme too. And the epilogue where they are just travelling to different places for years too. Somehow those things destroy the premise of the character they started with. I fully understand DQQC was emotion less initially but even after getting emotions he cared so much about his tribe . i would have love if he continued to be a supreme. I feel like in the quest of making MLs hopeless romantic writers end up making this decision for the characters . *sigh* Well end of the rant on this one.
Overall a must watch. It is just beautiful.
