Almost flawless drama
I reckon the vibe of this drama was so high even a year before it aired because the story and the casting, following the success of 3 lives 3 world and Ashes of Love. But I still wait until it finished aired to watch therefore I can give a clear review of the whole pace and production. This drama indeed had been highly anticipated for all fantasy wuxia romance drama, and it really give all the best that fans can wish for.
Story: The story is very smooth and flowing like almost no plot hole. It is very enjoyable even though we have to watching through 59 episodes, pretty long drama since most recent dramas already cut off their episodes for maximum 50 episodes. Although like typical Chinese drama, it had some dragging episodes, but the visual has paid the price. The story's main point is human feelings, specially love and hatred, which can build or ruin everything in the universe. The other point is ambition and judgement, which always be used to determine right or wrong. What I like about the story is that this is not merely simple love story, but told us a deeper meaning of relationship's bond.
Acting: Although I haven't watch other of his drama, I already give Cheng Yi a credit as a promising actor since he acted in Noble Aspiration. Even back then he only acted in little role, but he successfully brought the emotions of the character he played. And he prove it in this drama as main character. Si Feng has emotional and deep personality, and Cheng Yi brought that emotions with his eyes and face expressions which can touch audiences heart.
At first I only thought that Crystal Yuan only can bring out cute and feminine character, since many of her drama characters are related to princess personality. But when she transformed to female god of war, I can see her acting is developing to more complex character's personality.
Other worth mention acting are the villain, either the most evil one or the villain which had psychological issues. They all successfully make audience either hate or pity them.
Music: This drama didn't use many traditional music as other wuxia drama. However the fusion of modern songs also make the love story feel sweeter and touching. This drama OST are a must-have in my playlist.
Rewatch value: This is one of the drama that I will rewatch in some episodes, especially the scenes between the two main characters. The beautiful chemistry between them is too good to be missed.
Overall: Like I write in headline, this drama is one of almost flawless drama, despite of some unimportant and draggy scenes. Worth to watch!!!
