This show is hard for me to describe and review.
So the story is about the Juan Xi was born without her six senses and has no understanding of feelings, During a tourament she meets Si Feng a member of a rival set. The two becomes friends along with her sister and sixth brother. In reality Si Feng has been with her through 1000 years and 9 lives. I won't go into details, cause spoilers can be found elsewhere,
For my review, when the show started Juan Xi was clueless and I thought oh no Ashes of Love all over again. I am not a fan of Ashes of Love and this was clueless FL with a ML that basically gets abused the whole time. Luckily that did not last too long. The FL as she regained her senses actually was fairly faithful to the ML, and there was no real "triangle" to speak of. it was more the ML doing what he could to protect the FL and she being confused but really still defending him. There were some slower parts but in all the story was well written and moved along, and there were some twists in the end that I was not really expecting. The bad people (and there are 3 of them) were well written and acted. You really understand why 2 of them did the things they did even though they were evil, and the big bad person was really not bad.
The acting was great. While Xuan JI was sort of the simple, annoying female in the beginning but the depth the actress she showed as she got her six senses back and eventually got her memories of the God of War was really amazing. Si Feng was fantastic as well. You felt everything he felt, although his character had less growth than Xuan Ji his acting was amazing. The supporting cast was great from the villains, gods, demons, "righteous" sect leaders. Ling Long, the sister was probably the weakest in the cast. My personal favorites where Lord Flying Snake, Fox Spirit, and Wu Zhi Qi. The three of them were great.
Music was some of the best I have heard in a long time and I listen to the OST all the time.
As for rewatch, it is long and has slow parts even with the main characters. For TMOPB I rewatch cause I fast forward through the storyline not with main leads, but in this case most of the story is focused on the main leads, which makes this good but rewatching 59 episodes is a lot.
Overall, the drama is outstanding mainly because of the ML and FL leads and their acting along with a very string supporting cast. The "good" people are really not good, and the "bad" people are really not bad. For anyone that did not like Ashes of Love, I highly recommend this once you get past the first episodes it is far more interesting and worth the watch.
