It's much better toward the end

This series barely got an 8 from me... to be honest, I started watching because I wanted to see more of Leo Luo/Luo Yun Xi! When I saw him playing the Night Immortal (aka fish fairy haha) I fell in love with his ability as an actor to convey the feelings of his character with such incredible sincerity. For me, falling in love with a character is all about an actor's ability to bring that character to life. So sometimes my favorite character doesn't even have to be or only be the leads.

Now, this series does have it's beautiful gems, Huang Jue Jie as Bai Sheng is one of them, but I really didn't see improvement & strength in the story and acting until later episodes. It was like we were finally getting to the main dish of meal and you get caught up in it that you might forget the not so great parts haha and that's kind of what happened for me. But I didn't forget those parts, did you?

Luo Yun Xi is such a powerful actor when conveying emotion, I just couldn't take my eyes away when I saw him in the remaining episodes. But at same time something strange happened with the script where characters forgot things that were revealed between episodes or didn't attempt an ability they had that would've resolved a dilemma they were facing. I have to say the ending was solid, and made me feel I didn't watch all 22 episodes for nothing but I won't be rewatching this. Maybe only certain parts of episodes that impressed me most but definitely not the whole thing.
