It is the 2nd xianxia I completed, easy to watch not much angst , asthetic and soothing to eyes.
What I loved :
The Story Building
Ding Yuxi as Chu Kong
Arcs and stories
Comedy
Male lead : The best part of the this series is The male lead. I watched tiger and rose before but here Ding Yuxi made me a fan of him . Chu Kong's character is arrogant at first but the character development and his fun personality is beautiful.....
Female lead: Playful character of fl is portrayed well ...first time watching the FL she is good but a little lack in the emotion of pain and sadness ....it could have been much more better if she could showed the pain mc goes through.....still her improvement and the character development of fl is praise worthy.The fl is Likable.
Story : The first tiger-pig arc made me hooked . It's very funny .The first story and 2nd life actually build their bonding , the shifu arc was not bad either....I didn't expect much from this drama
But the middle made my expectations high to fall in the typical endings of xianxia ...ahh
.. from Cang Hai arc 30000 years ago, past will reveal that everything is connected even the animal arc where Chu Kong wanted to remove her memory, I actually re watched the previous episodes again ...........It's a last minute happy ending . But I'm quite bitter about the stalker guy becoming emperor and the tragedy...
I initially thought they will give a grand wedding to Cang Hai and Chu Kong as well as break the typical endings.... Whatever atleast they meet again and it's not sad ending....
2) Though it will not give you strong emotional attachments and angst but the chemistry between leads is really good. The story is pretty good even it's light . The costumes ,visuals , CGI and ost is good as well..
I'll highly recommend it if you enjoy fantasy dramas. cause it's far better than those melodramatic xianxias with a tons of misunderstanding,love triangle, redemptions and tribulations....
It's one of my favourite xianxia.....
