prepare to fall in love.
mr. sifeng is the perfect male lead. the progression of the main couple's relationship is genuine and gradual, and each member of the couple has understandable motivations. the balance between them never seems unequal and sifeng never, even once, says or does anything weird to offset the relationship balance. since a major theme in the drama is trust, or the lack thereof, it should be noted that the trust between sifeng and xuanji for the majority of the drama is amazing unshakable. each refuses to believe significant statements until they hear it from the other's mouth directly (specifically in regards to the nature of their relationship or the other's intentions). because of this, nearly 100% of the turmoil that arises in their relationship is due to external factors, i.e., respective sects and families.
absolutely incredible, binge-able drama with completely endearing main leads. there is also a delightful bl side-plot between teng she and the green dragon heavenly general. finally, look out for an AMAZING time in episode 52 when they almost get it on but sadly cannot due to sifeng's nearly-dead body, mind, and soul. (look up the uncensored version ; thank me later)
