Enjoyable, but Could Have Used More Couple Scenes

Overall, it was an enjoyable watch.

Positives:

1- The visuals – Both leads are just so pretty.
2- Strong characters – The female lead isn't a damsel in distress, nor does she have childish traits. The male lead isn't a flawless, god-like figure either. Both are capable, smart cultivators, growing and evolving as they face the challenges together.
3- The central theme – The idea behind the story is quite deep, and the way the good vs. evil conflict is resolved is thought-provoking.


Negatives:

1- Missed chemistry potential – The chemistry between the leads is undeniable, but unfortunately, the drama doesn't fully take advantage of it. The couple feels flat at times, not because of the leads' performances or the story, but due to production choices.
2- Side story overload – At times, the side plots took away from the main story, making the overall narrative feel overcrowded.
