confusing drama that dragged on far too long
Caught this drama on iQIYI when it was getting good ratings but was unimpressed.
The CGI and costumes were quite good and on par for other C-dramas in this category but wow was the story bad. Also, found this drama very confusing to follow along. I mean there was a grief tree, but never understood what the grief tree was or what powers it had. The grief tree granted couples wishes, but also had some evil person living inside of it for a while. At one point one of the characters gave their "love seed" to the grief tree (I am not making this up) to help cure it of some ailment. The characters were trying to save the 6 realms even though there were only humans and spirits fighting each other. Not sure what the other 4 realms were. One of the female characters had a school girl crush on some guy Ao Lai, turns out her friend just happened to be that guy all along (what are the odds!). By about episode 25 or so, was completely bored of this drama, just wanted it to be over so started fast forwarding over the filler scenes. The villains were boring and uninteresting, the story was just dragging. There is really nothing worth recommending about this drama.
Zhang Linghe even shows up in the later episodes of this drama to participate in a silly sub-plot about some 7 treasures bark, not sure what the 7 treasures bark is or why it is important but at this point in the drama who reallly cares. After the success of some of his other dramas you have to wonder why Zhang Linghe would take a small part in a bad drama like this but I guess he must have owed someone a favour.
Ending of this drama was confusing as well, some characters who died in earlier episodes were alive and well in the final episode in some alternate reality. Overall this drama gets a well-deserved 2/10.
