Best xianxia since ten miles of peach blossom
the sound design in this drama is GORGEOUS, like god tier. really you can always tell a drama is going to be explosive when the crew excels with the sound and i am big on sound design. especially being an avid fan of western works like Dune, Game of thrones, Westworld, Instellar (and literally every single Christopher Nolan work).Haven't been this engrossed in a xianxia drama like this since Ten miles of peach blossoms so that's telling enough. the cinematography, visuals and acting is just *chefs kiss*.

face slapping done right!
outside of the gorgeous osts and cinematography, i can't stress enough how much joy it gives me seeing a series adapt a female lead who can stick to revenge to the end while also punishing those who did her wrong. all the villains had the most satisfying ends.the stand out performances are definitely jiang li and wanning. the actress who played wanning is an incredible actress and to be able to evoke the audience to hate and sympathise with you is an affirmation of her acting prowess.
jiang li is a talent of her own, the amount of times i cried with her is uncountable. her determination and perseverance to end moved me and if there's one word i can describe her as is a chameleon. her ability to change and adapt her personality and mannerisms depending on who she was with blew me away. great actress
overall the drama is just *chefs kiss* the ending was downright tragic (yu zheng when i catch you) but i was able to placate myself with a bonus episode ?

GRUMPY BOYFRIEND X SUNSHINE GIRLFRIEND must watch!
my fengjiu, i have never loved a cdrama character like the way i loved bai fengjiu. dijun and fengjiu are perfect and their love story is so beautiful. the slowburn and angst was so worth it, their chemistry was insane and i'm glad we got 56 episodes of swoon worthy moments.Another wonderful thing to watch was the character growth both donghua dijun and bsi fengjiu went through. fengjiu went from her childish and naive countenance to a queen who could hold her own. donghua learned to accept love for what it is and opened up his heart for the woman he loved.
i was fully satisfied with my grumpy boyfriend x sunshine girlfriend trope here. ❤️
