I have never hated MC like I did in this drama, the unconditional love between them feels illogical. This is the kind of trope where FL will end up with ML just because she met him first! What can I say abt Xu Feng, he is the most stupid, arrogant , spineless ML I have ever seen and the actor who played Xu feng didn't help the case either coz he just couldn't pull off the whole "God of war" aura look and it seemed like he was uninterested to play this role but was forced by his manger to do so.
Yin min: I understand why she had to be naive, airheaded brat but after she puked the pill which locked her emotions she became even more stupid. The chemistry between the leads wasn't convincing enough & for this I blame the direction, the script focused more on sub plots and just ended up rushing the main plot!
All the characters felt two dimensional for me except the night king, runyu was the only multidimensional character with many complex layers, I could never look at him as a villian when he was the REAL VICTIM of the story. His anger, revenge, hurt, betrayal, love and sadness were are justified and looked logical. But over all the story felt really dragged at times because of the unnecessary sub plots/side characters, I continued to watch this drama just for runyu and I'm glad I did that because the final arc (demon realm arc) managed to deliver the best segments of the series, it's the only arc where all the 3 leads match up to one another & story moves with the right pace.
Xu feng looked his part as a powerful Phoenix/king in demon realm than he did in the heaven realm (may be coz of the costume and the new hairstyle which suited the actor really well), Jin mi pain of killing the one she loved the most was beautiful potrayed in this arc and finally the tragedy of night king was heartbreaking.
Over all rating: 7.5/10
AOL has the best soundtracks, couple of songs have been sung by the actors as well!!
