Trust me, I had a craving for historical, fantasy drama but most of them are either cringe or the story is quite a cliche. I kind of cannot watch a basic, bland, repetitive story without interesting spices and I think this serves the purpose. This one's really different. The acting, the visuals, and the CGI was beautiful and captivating. I think one can give it a watch, I felt it was worth my time because I loved the scenery and the Chinese culture. The gestures depicted and the aspects of love were good. Throughout the episodes, there were many scenes that felt not really align with the concept that began with predictive. However, it's fine to stick out till the end. Also, while watching I did skip the dream episodes (13-17) which serve less purpose and read summaries to save time, and I felt the concept was repeating itself in those eps (you can watch though for the romance). So I'd recommend watching it at 1.5x and slowing down on the romantic moments between FL and ML because they do NOT disappoint.
Find all the episodes on YT. The makeup was average but the CGI was real and shot well. I loved the costumes. The side characters although they live for the lead romance some side stories were engrossing to watch.
In short, there are 3 realms (immortals, mortal humans and demons). The devil god (ML) purpose is to bring chaos and the FL is the chosen one to avoid him from reaching the ultimate potential so she goes back in time to reverse the fate. Love is the key, to do so.
The ending was okay. So it personally didn't leave me empty-hearted because I was happy with the romantic scenes that the leads shared. This drama also inclined a lot towards the battle of fighting for love and spans 1000 years. Again evil misunderstandings always find a way to mess up this dynamic. But I felt the few twists were good so try it out!
