Visually Stunning Drama That Leaves you Craving for More

I started watching this because I thought it'll be like another Love Between Fairy and Devil. But I was proved quite wrong.
Pros-
Bai Lu. She was a dream to watch. She was able to express the different nuances to her role so beautifully. And I was so glad that her character wasn't those over-the-top cutesy, loud and whiny female characters who are busier acting the kawai damsel in distress than actually doing something about her situation. This was one character who took charge at every incarnation she had, and I loved it.
Tantai Jin. His character arc was beautiful to watch. From being an evil Devil God to transforming into a "nicer" person to being a considerate Devil God, his narrative was very well executed.
Acting and Cast. Ye Bin Chang was this brilliantly flawed character, and the actress did a really good job at playing this delicate "flower of evil" kinda role. The other actors were also pretty good in their roles.
The worldbuilding. In one word, it was STUNNING. Generally Xianxia dramas pay a lot of attention to the graphics and everything, but the fantasy world was so real and believable, absolute feast for the eyes. The costumes, the set designs, the VFX, and even the fancy flying fight sequences and all, were quite well executed. This experience was made for a big screen, I feel. The OST was also quite good. It's still stuck in my head.

Cons-
Luo Yun Xi as the Male Lead. Honestly, I didn't like him in the first watch, but maybe a rewatch after sometime might change my opinion. In my opinion, he was TOO THIN. I get it that one aspect of his character demanded him to be sickly and thin, but for me, his stick figure thin body just stood out like a sore thumb. And his long, flowy costumes didn't work for him either, made him look thinner. I was SORELY missing Dylan Wang in this regard, because he looked like a BOMB as the Devil in LBFAD. Even his acting felt a bit wooden to me in parts, but maybe that's his character's demand. Again, hoping that a rewatch might change my opinions.
Editing. It was choppy in parts, sometimes the scenes would just transition from one to the next without any connection between the two. Quite irritating that was. Also, the additional villains were just stupid and unnecessary.
Ending. I do not like dramas that do not provide closure at the end. AND THIS WAS ONE SUCH DRAMA WITHOUT ANY CLOSURE. I legit went back to search if there are extra episodes after the 40th one, because THE ENDING WAS SO INCOMPLETE. I get it about sad endings and all that, but keeping it open ended without any explanations and so abrupt was just ANNOYING.
Overall, the lead couple's love story and their chemistry was what shone the best in this series. This made me watch Love is Sweet, because I was vouching for them so much. Although I didn't like the look of Lui Yun Xi in this drama, I loved his character. But Dylan Wang will still be my favorite Devil. Give it a watch, it is a decent one.

**My existence for your death**

GOSH! This drama was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, I even thought it would have a happy ending during the last 30+ episodes but boy was I robbed!! 😭 This drama has got to be my favourite so far, and I would have loved it even more if it didn't have disappointing plots that could have been handled better. ( Like the misunderstanding scene where Ye Xiwu was controlled by Tantai Jin because he thought she wanted to poison him, IF ONLY they communicated better on that part man 😭 that's prolly why it led to such a disaster ) However, all and all, great story that is quite different from most which I really really enjoyed, I've rewatched this a few times already and I'm planning on watching it every year on my Birthday so this memory won't erase from my mind. 💓

Love and hate are two sides of the same coin

I have a masochistic relationship with this show. I hate what it does to me yet I can't stop watching. The show is about a couple who are in an abusive and messed up relationship. Things go so badly wrong yet they stay together because of their messed up pasts. They don't want to be together yet they don't want to be apart. They have no one else and so they stay together. They miss each other but don't want to see each other. They love each other for all the wrong reasons and their love often turns into hate. It is often said that it's worst to have no feelings for someone than it is to hate because hate is an extreme (though unhealthy) form of love.

Similarly, I am abusing myself by watching it. So many times I've wanted to stop because the show was so messed up - not because the story didn't make sense (ok, at times it didn't) but because this love-hate dynamic is confusing. And I hate the show for what it did to me - despite wanting to tear myself away from the show, I couldn't stop myself from watching. Why? I already know the ending thanks to some of the reviews here and I know I'm going to be sad yet I still want to finish it. That's the power and the lure of this show that no show has had on me recently.

This show is a study in contrasts. The show is an examination of internal strife and conflict and is tantamount to self-abuse. It is a tortured love. Love it or hate it, it's worth a watch to decide.

Nice acting but weak story and so so production.

Pretty much your typical chinese fantasy drama but with pretty decent male and female lead. Story wise it is the typical demon lord/villain and fairy/good female troope, production seems nice but bad CG here and there, fighting scenes borderline lame with most character only opening their arms and then let the bad CG do the fight. Bailusi and Luoyunxi act well as usual but they are protaying their typical characters and it is mostly slow scenes focusing on their face. Setting is ridiculous, everyone wear super thick makeup and lipstick even the male character, wearing their best cloth and full jewelry to sleep that you will definitely think how they do it. The producer also try to keep everything looks beautiful that even a broken palace can look so clean without dust and a crazy abandoned maid come with full makeup with grand clothing. In the end, I expect a slow series but hopefully not boring one.

Story
Until ep 4, typical c drama plot. I think we have at least two similar demon lord and some goddess love story last year.

Act
Good acting limited by weak story from the two main cast, other cast barely noticeable.

Music
Nothing too memorable, even the end OST by maobuyi and zhangbicheng.

Setting and Clothing
Everything looks too beautiful and fake. I am pretty sure I will not see dusty place or actual dirty cloth in the whole series.

Till now It's Great

.......................................................................................................................................................
So I have watched 2 Episodes till now and both were amazing, It's Ost is so soothing and acting by both these actors are top notch. Since I haven't seen whole story and can't give any ratings for them as I am not a seer or in simple I can't see future. As the drama proceeds I will write reviews again and depending on that I will change ratings.

Hope This drama Creates history in Chinese drama industry.

I am not one who likes dramas that have a sad ending, so I won't watch it until all the episodes are released and I know if it is happy or sad. The reason I watch dramas is not to cry, but 1) for entertainment, and 2) I like to see romance, especially since there is none in my life, and even tho television romance is mostly unrealistic, it's still nice to watch. As to why I don't watch sad dramas, my life doesn't need additional tears, especially since the show isn't real. I want my entertainment I watch to bring happiness, not have me bawling in my bed I over fictional events and relationships.

Saving myself from this ordeal...

As much as I love Bailu and Luo Yun Xi, I've decided to drop this after 1.5 episodes. I'm so annoyed with the FL's actions right now.
Sure, she was scared of the Devil God from her own time but she did come back to the past BEFORE he became evil for a reason, right? Why try to get him upset and then act like he is more than the current situation?

She realized right off the bat that the real Ye Xi Wu was a difficult person so she didn't have to continue acting like her. But no, here she was letting him continue kneeling in the snow while she contemplated how he deserved it and that he was indeed not a "normal person". Then when he fainted, she was praying that he wouldn't die when she - as Ye Xi Wu, the person who made him kneel originally - could have just as easily freed him and started analyzing how she would accomplish her mission.

There were other infuriating things from the first episode too, so I'm doing myself a favor and choosing not to suffer through this stupidity.

Love Overcomes Everything!

The ML murdered demons for power and slaughtered a city of civilians because the FL died. Oh, what great love! The demons should be proud that their years of hard work didn’t go to waste and the people should be glad that they didn’t need to work so hard and live such mediocre lives without love. Deaths of family, friends, defenceless civilians, duty / pride / honour as a saviour are nothing compared to such love. So, the FL returned to love and support him, even in denouncing her sister who stole a some love-inducing threads from the vixen.

The sister, a young defenceless mortal, was requested by a dying soldier (of the same country) to bring the threads to his beloved vixen. The poor vixen waited in vain for years because of the evil sister! The vixen lost the ability to love, while being consoled by her current boyfriend, the FL’s brother. How dare the sister stole the threads! The brother was only left with the vixen’s body! The brother’s heart ached for the vixen who wanted to love him so much that she went to the battlefield to persuade him to surrender so that he would not be killed by the bloodthirsty ML.

The brother was then enlightened to the errors of his military upbringing and decisively surrendered without negotiation. The vixen would not lose another love who died defending the country. Surely the love of the ML for his sister would let him spare the soldiers and civilians. Surely the love of the ML would touch the hearts of the officials and people on the opposite side and erase the pain of fallen soldiers. How can the lowly lands and properties matter more than love!

Wow! What a brilliant show that made people live out their dreams! No need for hard work! Sociopaths/psychopaths rule! Powerful people make the rules. Plagiarism, so what! People should be honoured that their work was worthy enough to get copied.

Alas! Many ordinary mortals like me have too weak a body constitution to stomach the glorious love. We have to sadly turn to something with at least some common sense.
