Firstly, I am a big fan of Yang Zi, not much of Qin JJ, but after watching this show, I'm a fan. He is a great actor, so is Yang Zi in all her movies and dramas. With these 2 awesome actors, the drama really comes to life. It's great to see the chemistry between the main 2 actors... but keep in mind, if you want some cute, sweet, low key sexual moments, you have to suffer to the 50-60 episodes.
However, since Yang Zi and Qin JJ is real life couple while doing this movie, their kiss scenes are really.... kissy. It's very, very heartwarming to see the chemistry between the two of them.
I adore the actors, the music as well. The story... not much. This entire plot revolves around a rebel group that is trying to overthrow the Qing emperor. However, the girl, Yang Zi (YiHuan in the movie) falls in love with him. The ending was a damn mess, fucking angering really.
My advice is watching this on youtube, and STOP at 16:38. DO NOT WATCH AFTER THAT, unless they give out a season 2. The ending is just messy, and makes you want to vomit. This whole story is fine, except if you want just the romance (because their chemistry is REALLY GOOD.) You would skip over everything regarding the rebel group, and just go for their adventure during when the 2 main casts are together.
Overall, defo something you can watch for some Qin JJ and Yang Zi cute moments. I dropped the rewatch value because of the ending. It's truly, terrible. makes no sense as well, don't watch the ending.

Okay, I am a die hard fan of C drama. I am a chinese so I pretty much understood the show without any subs, and it was heartbreaking. My god. I have watched Princess Agents before, and that got me crying for so long. This show gives a very different kind of pain, an almost bittersweet ending with its ending. This show gets frustrating sometimes if you realise how much the main 2 girl leads caused trouble and screwed up basically... well, everything. However, it is touching to watch and see the 2 male leads struggle to understand their emotions and discover what the hell is true love. This is shown, in a very heartbreaking way at the end of the last few episodes. One pair is those: I like you but I cannot like you because you're a demon.... shit but I really like you! and then regret not showing their feelings.
The other pair (main lead couple) basically have at least some good scenes and heartwarming episodes of them being together. All the characters acting are superB, especially Yang Zi. If I am not wrong she is only 26, and her acting surpasses a lot of older actresses. She's extremely good at crying and her tears just makes her character pop out. This is my first drama regarding the White Snake but I have no objections in regards of how the White Snake was portrayed as.
I do really wish they can figure out the ending properly... What's with the ending being (SPOILER BELOW, kind of. Main leads die but I don't say who)
so unsure? One of the main lead basically kills him/herself because the other died. But then the show ends with a MV potraying the one who died coming back, and shielding the lead who was preparing to commit suicide. So... is the ending both of them dead? Or they both lived? We might never know.
The soundtrack at the end for the MV... MY GOD. It just hurts. It was a heartbreaking way to end the show and I hate and LOVE the director at the same time. Goddamn it.

Before you read my review: THIS SHOW HAS A GOOD ENDING. YES. A GOOD ENDING.If you don't already know Yang Zi - You should. She is a brilliant actor, and so is Deng lun. Together both made me cry like craaazy. As I am typing the show has just finished streaming. There is a reason why the ratings are so high, because it is THAT GOOD. The acting, marvelous. Yang Zi and Deng Lun acting, by their action and even their emotions in their eyes (YES. THEIR EYES.) will shock you, because it is so so so good. It will make you feel like a break up after you finish watching it, because as they act, you feel as if you are part of the damn story itself!
The music, is wonderful. In chinese Weibo there are memes about the music because everytime the music comes out, something sad will happen. But good god, holy crap. The music IS GOOD. It's good and fits the entire story.
The story itself is wonderful as well. If you like a good story with the girl being oblivious to her feeling. You have it here. You like a story with sad love, you. have it here. You like a story with a character you want to physically kill, you have it here. You like a story with a GOOD ENDING, YOU HAVE IT HERE. YES. IT IS A GOOD ENDING. It is a ending so good, you would cry, like a baby while watching the camera zooms out for the very last time. You go through 60+ episodes of cute moments, escalating into sad moments and into moments where you could cry until your eyes swell up, to a happy ending, that will ALSO make you cry and feel unbearable to leave the show.
But it is a good ending.
(yet it's incomplete, partially. if you want more cute moments after the Tv ending, read the book.)
I want to also say this show has one of the best animation seq. out there. You feel as if the power and stuff is actually REAL. Also, the main character Deng Lun is REAAAAALLYYYYY hot oh my god haha, sorry here's my fangirling.
Overall, I recommend watching this show. But prepared to feel a rollercoaster of emotions, from hapy to sad to angry... But remember... it is a good ending.
