NO SPOILER "Till the end of the moon" as a low budget drama - I enjoyed it

If you wanted to know what would look like "Till the end of the moon" as a low budget short-length drama ? There you have it. I enjoyed it though.
The story : On the day of her wedding, the immortal Shang You survives the massacre of her entire clan by Si Yuan, the Dark Lord of the Underworld. To seek revenge, Shang You disguises herself as Meng Li and infiltrates the underworld...

The story is narrated on several lifetimes during which the heroine is trying to uncover the mystery of the annihilation of her clan. Even if the plot is simple, I was still interested in knowing the end of the story. Once I recognize the main elements of TTEOTM, I wanted to know exactly what version the cast and crew were going to present.
I was satisfied with what they came up with. It was entertaining, I even cried at a particular moment. And that surprised me. It was nice watching this drama.

Pros :
- I liked that it ressembles so much to "Till the end of the moon". You will recognize, who is Ye Bing Chang, Tan tai Jin, Li Su Su, Xiao Lin, Pian Ran, ADG, Di Mian, Qu Xuan Zi, the Fleeting Life/Bo're Dream ...
- I liked the way Female Lead approaches and seduces Male Lead.
- Liked the way the emotionless ML slowly learns what is love, as Shang You seduces him.
- Good chemistry between the lead.
- Appreciated the acting.
- I liked how the Sect head master is moving. It is like he is dancing. I saw him "pop & lock" like a Hip-Hop dancer. It made me smile.

Cons :
- Simple plot.
- Male Lead is expressionless for a longtime during the first and second arc.
- The CGI goes with the budget. It is not top notch, but I wasn't so disturbed about it.
- Main antagonist is one-dimensionnal.

Overall:
Simple but cute story with Xianxia elements and good chemistry between the lead.
I liked the ending. It would be the ending I would have wanted for TTEOTM. Here I got it and I was happy.
If you like Xianxia love story taking place during several lifetimes with a satisfying ending.
This drama is made for you.
