The below is solely my own subjective opinion. Also, Spoiler alert. Major spoiler alert.

The storyline was great, the casting- especially for Ye Hua/Mo Yuen, Donghua Dijun/Mortal Emperor as well as Bai Qian/Susu, Bai Feng Jiu and Cheng Yu. However, love story wise, I think I was most touched and actually cried when it came to Dijun and Feng Jiu's relationship. You could really feel the love and emotions between them. The acting between them was pretty great and so was their story.

I felt more emotions between Mo Yuen and Si Yin during the beginning moreso than compared to Ye Hua and Bai Qian throughout. Also, each episode went on pretty slowly, I watched in on 1.75x to 2.0x speed most of the time. The death of Li Jing was also really sad. We also never knew if Zhe Yan cleansed the eyes and gave them back to Bai Qian or not, or when Mo Yuen's hand had recovered. I was still quite in disbelief that Ye Hua took Susu's eyes and never returned them even when he knew he could take them back from Su Jin though. We also never saw more of Nai Nai and her existence after her devotion and loyalty to Susu after she served Bai Qian for a few days which was sad. Furthermore, Cheng Yu's story with the third prince was never revealed either even though they mentioned it and aroused curiosity from the audience. Cheng Yu and A Li's characters were the ones who brought the most joy and so were the scenes with Bai Feng Jiu's and Dijun's interactions.

What bothered me the most was the one liner explanation in the end of Mo Yuen explaining the return of Ye Hua. There was completely no clues or indication of this in the beginning and it just suddenly explained everything. It didn't make sense to me why Mo Yuen didn't hint to Bai Qian that there was a possibility of him coming back in roughly 10 years even though he had some idea.

Although we knew that Bai Qian and Feng Jiu's original form was the 9 tailed fox, we never saw any other original forms except knowing that Zhe Yan's form was a phoenix and Ye Hua's was a dragon. I feel like that would've made things more fun.

Overall, it was worth watching. Although its not the best, it was one of the best/better one's I've watched.
