A pretty decent WuXia/Historical drama, nothing much that makes it stand out. I started this drama because of Xu Kai, I watched another one of his dramas "Falling into your Smile"(Highly recommend) and his acting was great. Upon watching this drama, it was a mess and didn't really meet the standard I was looking for.

Story :
To start things off, the story was ok. It had nothing really special and it's a basic plot line. Main character, all powerful and strong with a purpose of revenge but understanding the bigger picture, a evil demon who is trying to take over the world with it's evil disciples, love triangle, second lead becomes evil, you get the gist. It was decently ok but towards the middle of the drama and the end was a bit rushed and got boring. The main female lead( Yu Jingqiu) figuring out her past and how she's all powerful but barely gets to use her mighty power because producers decided she was going to be a weak character and rely on the main lead. The main lead becomes all strong through series of unfortunate events but ends up beating the demon lord. The side characters were what made the drama most interesting and allowed me to finish instead of dropping. What really pissed me off was the death of so many unnecessary characters. Like why kill of so many people??!

CGI:
The CGI was decent, it looked really pretty and some parts were really well executed, especially when the characters would use their "special ability" with the animations of what it's called on the screen making it look like a comic book but in video form. The outfits were also really pretty, I loved the main female and second female leads clothing. The clothing for the main leads at the end of the show was beautiful, the black and the gold and how the main leads matched outfits. That really saved the show in my opinion.

Music :
The OST was amazing and it really helped pack a punch for the drama. Great way to start the drama off. The music throughout the drama was also well executed, having different music for different situations. Very well done in this department.

Acting:
The main leads acting was pretty good, the male lead was really good with his emotions, but of course Xu Kai is a veteran in the acting community so you won't get boring monotone acting from him. The main female lead was ok, some parts did seem fake but overall was still good. The side characters fun and bubbly personalities were well executed given these new actors/actresses don't act much as I have never really heard of them in the acting community. The main lead's chemistry was really good, the fact that the female lead was willing to give up her divine power just to be with him showed the sacrifice of true love. The side characters relationship was my favorite and it was really cute. I love how the second female lead didn't go for revenge when finding out the main male lead likes someone else but she decided to move on. Which was very refreshing to see as in most Wu Xia dramas, the second female lead turns evil... but in this case it was the second male lead(not surprising)

Ending:
The ending wasn't anything special. It was ok. The rush towards the end of the show really irritated me. I hate when directors and producers drag the first half of the show and giving so much context and background just to throw it away towards the end. The ending was nothing special but it did make me cry because of the deaths of so many characters. They really did not need to die but because it's Wu Xia and it's the finale battle, it wasn't surprising when certain characters got killed. The ending was pretty cute, we got to see peace between the world which was pretty good. Thank you so much for letting the main leads to have a good ending despite going through all that. It definitely made the drama worth it.

Was gonna give up on this drama, but thank god the ending was ok which made the lengthy process of 40 episodes worth it.
