One gem of a story
What don't i love about this drama? I am honestly looking for an answer to it. Starting from the music to the acting of every actor to the story itself, i love each and every part of it. The CGI was also so beautiful for the most part.
Story: The story is very well written, with all loose ends tied up and almost all backstories well explained. All the characters had beautiful development and it was so nice to see them all getting what each of them deserved.
Acting and Characters: First i want to say about Yuan Bingyan's acting. She brought Chu Xuanji to life and it was so beautiful that i can't explain in words. Yu Sifeng was one wonderful character that won my heart every time and i couldn't help but fall in love, and although i wished he was a little more hard hearted, maybe it's his kindness and selflessness was what i loved the most. He took sacrificing for love to a whole new level and luckily its wasn't just all take and no give for the FL (unlike some other drama). And might i say that i just loved Teng She and Wu Zhiqi too!
There were characters that i surely didn't like, Xiao Yin Hua, the FL's father and Ruo Yu, and all the righteous sect leaders for that matter. And few that i hated like Yuan Lang, Wu Tong (he was really impressive but too cruel and evil and obsessed for my liking) and Bailing (though i liked him at first, as the story progressed i started hating his character). Mosha Xing was pitiful for real.
I didn't give it a 10 because:
1. Linglong's story was given too much importance, didn't like that part much.
2. I really expected that the ML being the heavenly prince would assert some authority at some point but he didn't do that like ever, i really wish he were a little less soft hearted, he was too emotional. (But this is totally my own opinion).
3. Also Yuan Lang's backstory was never really explained.
4. In the early episodes, the same flashbacks were very repetitive, could've shown some other part of past than the same thing time and again.
5. Man the so called righteous sects and King Bailing were utterly villainous and evil! They were ultra prejudiced against everyone of other clans, ugh!
Now for the music: This album is honestly the best that I've heard in any cdrama. I love the soundtracks beyond words.
Overall: Go ahead and watch it. This is too good to be missed. It has its flaws, but its merits outnumber them greatly. I might just watch it again if i get time coz let's be real, 59 eps of 45 min each is pretty long!
