Best xianxia I've watch so far

Didn't expect anything from this one since the leads aren't that popular and I have a little bad Impression of Dylan at acting but I was so shocked with the quality. From stunning visuals, effects, costume, character depth, it was so good. Acting is also not bad. I just want more brother scenes with dongfang and his brother plus more scenes with the two long lost sisters and Yu Shuxin being DongFang.. Not a fan of cute childiah character so it took me a while to love the drama.
Ending felt quite rushed but it's okay.

Ost was super super super good. I keep replaying Farewell Love.

A little more than so-so drama, started promising

I have to be honest I probably set an unusually high expectations with this drama. It started promising but there are a number of things I don't like about this drama. Before that, let me enumerate some good things about the drama that made me want to finish it.
Pros for me:
1. Setting. I love the details of the set especially in the place where they wish on flower festival.
2. Not the usual love triangle story. The third party is not annoying (prince)
3. All of the characters have serious thing to do. Im getting tired of watching arrange or forced marriage dramas so this is sort of fresh air.
4. I love how characters cooperate with each other.
5. I want to see how they'll do their task

Cons:
1. Nasheng is cute to look at but too chatty. She is cheerful by nature but too annoying in the first few episodes.
2. I don't feel the chemistry of the leads towards the end. I keep skipping their scenes. Their interaction is boring.
3. I was expecting a cold, ruthless Ml. And here they give us the typical "perfect" guy.
4. Fl becomes damsel in distress. I hate it. Hahaha. Also idk but yukee chen is boring in this drama.
5. ML was too strong. Remember he is practicing art of mirror or iirc separation because its already at the progressive stage. But then, after he suffers backlash, he will just get healed by the diviner then use power again. Illogical. I normally forgive this kind of plothole but it's repetitive. (Except the end ofc)
6. Ending is messy. On one scene he is alive then later he disappears. And then again he is there. (I think they shuffled the order of the scenes?) Why dont they just make him disappear on point?

So-so.

If you are into story wherin leads have strong chemistry, this is for you! The male lead is very good in depicting love at first sight. I watched this because of him. I love Qing qing's character too. She adds color to the story. She is the second reason why I watched the show.
For the white snake, I understand it's not Ju jing Yi's fault but her character is bland. Like ugh. For the plot.. the dragging of story mades it boring though honestly speaking, it is not too cliche. Like a not cliche story but not beneficial to the whole. Also qing qings lover just vanished to thin air after the sad ending. The ending is rushed.

Laughed a lot

Despite it being a low budget drama, it made me laughed a lot. Thank you for doing such a great job FL. You carried the show. Of course others did their best too especially the scriptwriter. Without the script writer, this whole thing is just trash. I didnt expect myself to be enjoying this show because of the weird costume and setting mood (too much neon colors) plus I am not really into this type of dramas. I prefer those scheming and deep ones so if I enjoyed this, it means they have done a great job.
Rewatching rate was low cause Im not really into rewatching and as stated, I prefer other dramas than this.

Draggy

The story is ok but the story of the main leads are very very boring. I always fast forward or skip their parts. At least it gets better when this Liu Ying became a general then cultivator but the first two lives are pretty much a damsel in distress and weak character. Aside from that, I dont understand the point of having four lives and dragon king repeatedly being hurt for her. We all know that dragon king loves her. It would be better of lets say the Yin soul becomes stronger or what.
Qingqing and Que Qianxun is the reason I was able to watch this up to episode 30+. They are very cute and have stronger chemistry for me haha.
10 for music because I love the theme song ehhe. For the acting, I gave 8 because of Que Qianxun, Qing qing and female lead. I definitely wont rewatch

Not that bad

Eyy this movie didnt turn out as bad as the ratings were. I mean, I have been hesitating to watch this drama cause the ratings were at 7.__something- well based on experience, such ratings mean that there were loopholes or illogical storyline. Anyways, the plot was good but I find that a lot of it was based from the story Guardian. Like the way demons turned out to be not so cruel, and the fact that there is this time travelling that made them realize they did something in the past. But even if the plot was good, there is something missing in this drama that I can`t explain. Like it is incomparable to Guardin idk. One thing that somewhat bothers me is the FL. The ML overpowered the FL. She did her role well dont get me wrong, I even laughed a lot because of her but the two arent that a good match. Maybe the hairstyle?
Nice drama
Laughed a lot

A pleasant surprise!

This drama exceeded all my expectations. Such drama is usually not my alley abd I only plan to watch this one for fun but oh boy, I was so wrong. I was in for a ride, waiting for the next episodes to come. Honestly, I don't plan to make a review for this one if not for the spamming behaviour.
Pacing is surprisingly good. They didn't dwell too long on that damn bracelet.
Comedic timing is on point. The lightning, fake end credits, dust demon missing a decimal and Miao miao dying several times to offer medicine are funny.
Ding Yuxi is so good! His eyes are enough to express emotions. Yu Shuxin is good too. I cried during the father scene.
Script is the best selling point of this drama. The scriptwriter made changes that I actually appreciate, such as Miao Miao not being too clingy to Fuyi for the mission. I also appreciate how Miao Miao's remarks resonate with me as a viewer.

No nonsense

I love this drama as how I love Untamed because there was no nonsense (I did not skip any scenes). The pacing is good. Not too fast or slow. What I like most in this drama is the plot. No love triangles ( I thought Leng Yue will be a third wheel or something but thank God she is actually such a wonderful character), and most importantly logical. No movie magic. Regarding the romance, not much intimate, cheesy scenes which makes it not recommended for people who are after romance stories.
I dont care about the voice though, Im after the story. Hhah
Worth watching.

Amazing!! Masterpiece

Amazing! No nonsense. I love this drama more than Untamed because of the plot ehhe. There is always a supernatural case that they solve in every episode which brings the characters closer together and reveal each of their strengths and weaknesses.
Nice effects, visuals, and costume (especially Shen Wei`s outfit. Looks cool).
Actors are well-picked especially Zhu Yilong. Bruh he also acted as Yezun, Black Cloak envoy and Black cloak`s younger version. One can see the difference despite having the same look.
The ending was so sad. I cried a lot. Was not able to move on until the next day.
Worth watching.

Its so nice. Deserve at least 8 stars in overall rating

"Review of SEASON 1

Before watching, I have to tell you that the male lead isn't the typical very handsome man with jadelike skin. Dont set high expectations with regards to beauty of the characters (except water god. She is pretty haha) But still, I think its unfair to call the male lead ugly.
Despite the not typical pretty characters, the story is very nice and decent with unpredictable plot twist
(SPOILER ALERT e.g. one of domain god is son of tianheng,)
There was little to no illogical plot. The story got me hooked. Idk why this drama got critical reviews. I love the uniqueness of this drama!
Notes:
1. There were love triangles in the story too but they are not really focused there. (Daughter of general Pei has few screen time. Tolerable)
2. Some might complain that the ML likes to distance himself from female lead.
3. The female lead is not really a damsel in distress for me. She is not totally useless in fights though she gets hurt. Even male lead can get hurt too. This is actually one thing I like about the drama. They've not always strong cause that's more real.

Not my cup of tea

Sorry if I didn't like this drama. Umm it started out well. Like the female and male lead is intelligent and they solve cases then they made two friends. All is well until I find the Female lead too troublesome and the male lead always sacrificing or saving the FL. She isn't the strong, intelligent, independent woman she is supposed to be (they introduce her like that). Also too draggy on the romance part of the leads. Their story is boring. Fl is also irrational sometimes and oa. It is not the Maiden Holmes I exepcted.

I can't continue watching it.
Thats just my point of view though. If you're not picky, I can say this drama isn't bad at all
