Must watch xianxia with love, humor, tears and angst
Story 10/10:
ML Yu Sifeng’s character is so loyal, self sacrificial, good at martial arts - basically everything that makes girls swoon over! FL Chu Xuanji is basically a typical FL - naive, aloof, doesn’t trust ML but I guess that is how the story goes and what makes the ML stand out. She does get more mature at the end, and I particularly love her interactions with TengShe! The supporting casts also play a big role - e.g. Xiao Yinhua, Wu Zhiqi, Tengshe added a lot of flavour and laughter to the show. Major twists in the show, that makes you binge watch episode after episode!
I didn’t particularly like the storyline for the second couple - could do with less of how Ling Long was mentally tortured etc. As with all cdramas, it always starts slow and but it definitely gets more interesting past the first 5-10 episodes. But overall, 10/10 storyline that makes you laugh and cry with many heart aches in between. MUST WATCH YOU WILL NOT REGRET
Cast/Acting: 10/10
Cheng Yi as Yu Sifeng: Cheng Yi’s acting here is really *chef kiss*. You can literally see emotions in his eyes, the love he has for the FL and emotional pain he goes through. Was really impressed at his character change when he acted as Mosha Xing - cold demeanor yet with aura. Kudos also to the many ways he can portray pain and vomiting blood.
Bai Shu as Teng She: Our comedic relief in this angsty love story! He brings out the character really well, with subtle movements to act like a snake.
Crystal Yuan as Chu Xuanji: She manages to switch character pretty well - considering she has to act naive then also as a strong God of War.
Everyone’s acting as really really good here!! Special shout out to Xiao Yinhua for her beautiful crying scenes.
Music: 10/10
The OSTs will grow on you :)
