WORTH YOUR TIME. GO WATCH IT
Story - If you like fast pace storylines, strong main leads, strong supporting casts, good cinematography and effects then you have to watch this. The chemistry between the ML and FL is there to compliment each other. All the supporting casts are also good actors who good in acting . The clothes and accessories are outstanding and beautiful to show how the people in Heavenly Realm dress up. I'm quite surprised with the pace of the storylines. The story is quite fast and you'll feel like the story is jumping from one place to another. But you will understand the story as there is actually a lot of foreshadowing that will be explain later. Especially the war between the gods and the demons where there is conspiracy and will be explained in the later part.Those who love angst go watch it and you will like it a lot.
Acting/ Cast - ChengYi and YangZi did a great job potraying their character. Thank god its them who played this. Whether its happy, sad, annoying, they nailed it. I can watch them bickering all the time. Its funny. They made those cheesy lines and cliche part watchable like its not cliche at all. ChengYi as YingYuan is just like BaiJue to Shanggu in ALP, will do anything to not let his lover suffering. Do everything secretly without she knowing. And of course YangZi as Yandan, similar to Shanggu will not understand what happened in the Three Realms after YingYuan erased her memories. The 2nd male lead, Yumo, at first i don't like him much but after they travel together to find the artifacts, he's become more likeable. Of course his priority always YanDan but later on he and TangZhou became best friend and fight together.
Music - The OSTs are good but not great maybe because I've been listen to other dramas OST which are better than this. Btw, the OSTs have been on my playlists since the start of the show until now and all of them have deep meaning.
I always love angst and tragedy. This is only my 3rd Xianxia drama after ALP & LnR. So if I have to rate these three, should be:
1. LnR
2. Immortal Samsara
3. ALP

Fresh and normal main leads, no typical stoic, cold and trauma male lead
This is one of the most normal drama out there. When i read the synopsis, i thought this is just like typical cold, stoic, trauma male lead but i got hooked after 2 episodes. The male lead is very refreshing to watch. Of course he is a smart guy but he is a normal smart guy where you saw in your high school and the teacher likes him. So no overdramatic genius here. The female lead also a hardworking girl but her result is average. She is not very smart or very dumb but just an average high school girl you can relate.What i like is there is no too too much cliche or cringe moment. As the episode goes by, they just fell for each other but there is no force in their relationship. The supporting role also very good and fun to watch especially their friendship. Not a boring drama. You will smile all the way throughout the episodes except when they argued and the scene with her mom of course. Her mom and little brother is quite annoying.
I always dropped typical drama halfway. So glad i found this drama and this is one of the few drama i can fully watched from start until the end

One of the best TVB drama I have watched
Been watching TVB' s drama few years ago and kept dropping it halfway because the plot just losing somewhere. Watched this one because I just wanted to watch a TVB drama after so many years and I have to say this one exceed my expectations.The story and the way the actors portrayed their characters got me hooked right away that it's hard to skip. Of course the most interesting things are the fight scenes and I kept re-watching the part with Kenneth Ma because he's so cool when there's missions and gun fights.
The OSTs i have to say it's ok
Have to rate it 9.5 because of the ending. Yes. it's happy ending but I wish they can make the happy ending longer between Ocean and Po.
