Great concept but badly executed.
After I went through this whirlpool of a convoluted emotional ride, the ending is just a bandaid on my wound after numerous stabs through the heart, as in the series. They should end the series after the Gods, Ming Ye and Sang Jiu. The many lifetimes intertwining with each other gave me a headache.
I have a few gripes about the repetitiveness in this series:
1. Too much blood spitting. Leo Luo is very fragile seems; all he did was vomited blood. I thought he was supposed to be invincible. Other characters spit blood, but the frequency was tolerable.
2. Too many stabs in the heart. Enough already; can't they find other spots?
3. Too many farewells, and they never leave. I don't believe them anymore when they say farewell.
4. Too draggy with emotional scenes. Ok, we got the point. Next scene, please!
5. This series should be called Love, Lies and kill me.
I like the main leads. That is the main reason I watched this series. The beginning was all good. I could follow the storyline until after the God scene. I tried to talk myself into continuing. Then it just gets worst and worst. Poor Bai Lu gets stuck with this type of film, especially with a hot co-lead and a great story concept, then the direction and story fall apart. I am sure the novel is probably better, so I blame the producer and director. Bad execution is the bottom line.
Do I recommend it? Yeah, watch it and judge for yourself.
