Just watch this! Its next level for Xianxia genre
Surprisingly emotionally complex and relatable despite being deep in the fantasy genre. Of course, it has all the action, beauty and effects of high-budget C-dramas, but the actors are bringing subtle, multi-layered performances that makes the drama so much more sophisticated and intriguing.ML Luo Yunxi's acting has come a long way since Ashes of Love - he is a master of subtle expressions from slightly sadistic, sociopathic smirks to pure, open-hearted joy. His characters are each uniquely portrayed, complex and spellbinding. Just wow. Watch for him alone - you'll forget he's even Luo Yunxi.
FL is excellent and the dynamic between them is unpredictable.
Plot twists galore and a fast pace so you won't be skipping - in fact, I keep rewinding because the visuals are so strong I forgot to read the subtitles.
This sets the bar for a whole new quality level in Xianxia. I expect it will outshine "Eternal Love" and other classics and get picked up on Netflix, etc, for wider Western audiences.
