A tale that spanned three worlds and three lifetimes, this drama not only paved the way for a new generation of Xianxia genre fans, it had also cemented itself as a future classic.

The plot is quite linear as opposed to the novel and I believe the production team did the right thing. The first few arcs may be a bore to most viewers because of this decision, but it's still way better than be immediately thrown right into the drama's world alongside its amnesiac female lead. Imagine how far more frustrating that could have been. What will give us a motivation to root for Bai Qian then? Why do we care?

Hence, this drama succeeded in becoming a tale where we become emotionally invested in the characters way before the big changes that became the real starting point of the story. So if you've just started and found the first few episodes as slow, that is expected, you are looking right into the prequels so to speak. But once the ball starts rolling, it will be worth it.

In general, just like any other fairy tale, we saw some dubious character development later on, a few highly satisfying face-slapping scenes and an eventual happy ending for the main couple after a long melodramatic love story. True, things could've been solved earlier if everyone in the drama will just stop to listen and/or explain for a few minutes, but then, we'll never have the Ten Miles we know now.
