Great with a but….
Let me tell you my opinion on this drama. The storyline is divided into three parts: falling in love, death, and rebirth. The male lead may not be conventionally handsome, but he fits his character well. However, it was the second male villain lead who stole the show with his pure and tragic love. The female lead, Ni Ni, is perfect.
I found the third part of the story unnecessarily long and skipped parts after episode 55. But the first part, which focused on love, was my favorite.
.
I must say, Nini is an extraordinary, gorgeous, talented actress. While some may compare this drama to eternal love, I believe it's like comparing apples to oranges. Despite the director's penchant for peach trees and wine, the storyline is entirely different. Gods and goddesses were very different too.
This is a memorable drama. I am trying to figure out why people compare this show so much with eternal love, but I see two distinct stories. It is as if we say all dramas are the same because of some similarities. If so, all costume dramas are the same.
I was completely invested in the story until the very end. However, I strongly feel that the constant introduction of villains has become tiresome. Additionally, the plotline involving the girl who left for the demon tower and returned as a general killed numerous immortals, and yet survived, was beyond ridiculous. The story could have been improved with a more realistic and believable portrayal of events.
Although I'm grateful to the scriptwriters for providing a happy ending, I can't help but feel that the lack of explanation for the protagonist's return after 300 years falls short of my expectations.
The demise of the female lead character, followed by her rebirth, left me feeling uneasy. Although I understood the reasoning behind it, I couldn't shake the feeling that killing her just to bring her back again seemed morally questionable. Additionally, the genuine love the villain had for her only added to the tragedy of the situation. In my opinion, an alternate ending that allowed for a reunion of the two lovers after death would have been much more satisfying. Admittedly, I may have taken some creative liberties with the storyline, but I couldn't help but root for the secondary male character to find love and happiness in the end.
The costume designers deserve immense praise for their outstanding work. The costumes were stunning and added an incredible dimension to the overall experience. Let's give a round of applause to all the support roles, they truly deserve it!
