LOVED IT
I personally was drawn to this drama because of Zhao Lusi. First episode gave me a strong sense of anticipation and immediately got me invested in the Main Leads characters.What I found a bit off putting was Lusi’s portrayal of A Yin. I love her, don’t get me wrong but I’m not a big fan of childlike acting ( understand that A Yin was in fact a newly hatched Water Beast, therefore it made sense why her character had to be portrayed as so ).
The friendship in this series is one that you can’t miss. Four young people with very special identities and responsibilities joining hands to bring peace and justice. A Jin, A Yin , A Jiu .. I want to know why they didn’t name Yan Shuang , A Shu or something similar lol. But that’s irrelevant, I just loved how they have nicknames for each other. The loyalty portrayed and the love between friends was one of the qualities of this drama that drew me into it more. I enjoyed watching the teamwork between all four of them.
The villains in this series did their roles quite well I would say. I did hate them all to the point where had to take a break because they stressed me out lol. But nothing makes up for a bad villains deeds more than an act of righteousness which was portrayed by one of the villains near the end. I thought that was touching, it still doesn’t erase the deeds this villain committed because I honestly hated this particular villain a lot, but it was touching to see a positive change.
The romance in this drama between the Male Leads is bittersweet. Depending on your interests when it comes to drama romance, I personally think they deserved more romance considering all that happened between them from the start to end. They faced so many hardships together, challenging both their strengths and their love. I was disappointed in the male lead for his choice of action leading to a very tragic loss, and I was satisfied to see him face the consequences of it lol. But then when the female lead returned the favor, I felt terrible for the male lead. But they still loved each other, you’ll want to cry and be mad seeing them like that lol.
The ending for me was neither happy nor sad. It just depends on how you wished the ending to be and your definition of happy endings. I do believe they should’ve been given more screen time with the last scene to kind of allow the viewers to recover from the tragedies that led up to that point lol.
Overall though, it was worth my time.

Endearing Drama with Endearing Chemistry
This was such a wonderful and easy drama to watch for me. I'll admit I started watching this because of the FL. From what I've seen of her so far, she seems to nail every scene she's in.From beginning to end, I fell in love with the characters and the cast. Although I'd never watched the ML in anything before, and why it took me so long to give this a try, he was so, well, ENDEARING. And the enamored way he would glance at the FL lead gave me butterflies...even when he was supposed to have eyes for the SFL. His little mannerisms and caring shone through, even when he had to make the harshest decision regarding her. The agony of this scene was, I think, one of the highlights of the series. During this particular scene, the FL was extraordinary. Her expressions and the way she becomes the character is amazing to watch.
The costumes were beautiful and the CGI was better than I thought it would be.
Another plus is the second couple. I saw the SML in LLTG, and hoped to see him in a bigger role. He doesn't disappoint here. I am glad he had his chance at romance, although he sure took his time getting there.
I did have to take a half a star away for the ending. It's happy, but I wanted to see more than a glimpse from across the way. The leads deserved a run into each other's arms, twirl around, and kiss sort of ending. They went through a lot to get there.
A SOLID 9.5 rating

A SPIRIT LIFTER
It took me a long long time to watch anything related to Zhao Lusi.She is a natural , intense, shining star.
I think I felt in love with her acting from the beginning, and in less than 5 years she shot to the top, rising like a phoenix.
At the same time, I COULD NOT ignore the negative and envios power that little by litlle started devouring her, forcing her from a light into a shadow.
I loved this Xuxia, and after watching it I found my spirit lifted, because that's the magic og Zhao Lu si.
The entire cast' acting (beside the peacock) is top notch, and I LOVE to finally see a male lead that doesn't look like a doll or the impersonification of chauvinism.
The story is the same one we keep watching over and over, but the beauty of unexpected acting and twist, makes it profitable and appealing.
I love the special effect, but like Los Angeles, it seems the realms of any show is the same set, the same street, the same hut.....the same studio.
I would love to see chinese actresses that do not look like hangers, or korean ones with the without the same face.
But, I only hope she can revover a grain of her light, and above all be HEALTHY.

Cheap idol drama with everything wrong
If you watched enough Xian Xia dramas, it will be hard to handle this one.I really tried because I absolutely love Zhao Lusi but she needs to pick better scripts. Her star power is enough to get best of the best scripts.
So many things wrong with the drama:
-Cheap looking sets, cheap CGI & boring story
-Make up lighting is terrible 1/2 of the time making actors look worse.
-Casting of ML Wang An Yu. He does better in modern dramas. Here his hair doesn't flatter his face. What's more he has zero chemistry with FL. Had they used Li Yun Rui (supporting role) with Zhao Lusi, it would've been better. Previously he was a supporting character to Zhao LuSi in Love like Galaxy. At least they would've had some chemistry.
-Zhao LuSi's baby voice. I don't think the role required her voice to be so young.
Off to the next one!

The Last Immortal
Feng Yin is a female spirit who has reincarnated into a difficult predicament. She learns that she may be the incarnation of a powerful goddess – or she may be a lowly spirit who has actually displeased the most powerful deity of them all. The only way to find out is to collect the pieces of her immortal essence. Fortunately, perhaps, she is not alone in her quest. Also searching for the essence is Gu Jin, the son of the “true” god.Gu Jin has problems of his own to resolve, and his relationship with Feng Yin is complicated. The duo once had a master-servant relationship, but this has since been broken. Since then, he appears to have developed feelings for Feng Yin, who also admires and trusts him. Could love help them find a way to stay together – and solve the mystery of Feng Yin’s true identity?

Last immortal
I like this drama because of lusi and overall this drama very good. With funny characters and twisted plots, this zhou lusi gives her best performance ever as a fairy. keep my eyes glued to the screen.You are smiling to this drama in the very first scene when you encounter , wang anyu you must be hard worker to this drama.
There is no way of clicking off this drama after Lusi and Wang Anyu work together to find Phoniex who disappeared because of Wang Anyu's misdeeds.
Happy watching this wonderful drama “the last immortal”

Worst outcome in xianxia genre
with starring of zhao lusi in this drama , i am waiting for this one for so long ,but i really continue anymore because the only watchable thing is cuteness of A yin ...i love the type of dramas where at least one person is mature enough to handle situations but here both A yin and yuan qi are too much immature and because of many annoying characters like peacock , i can t continue anymore ...
Story, CGI, visuals, nothing really measured up to the other big budget xian xia dramas of this year like Till the End of Moon or Lost you Forever.
i have very much expectations for its OST s but they are nothing but disappointing ...
i do not think this drama has anything for viewers ...so do not waste your time ...

The last immortal
It’s been a while since I’ve watched this type of C-Drama and I’m not really planning to watch it again but watching a little bit of ancient love poetry kinda got me hooked up. I’m planning on watching this series as it is a sequel to ALP and hopefully it’s living up to my expectations because Zhao lusi is one of my favorite Chinese actress. I’m really liking the plot, visuals and characters so far but I hope that they don’t drag the plot too long and make the story boring. I trust the actors acting and everything but I also have a high regard to the plot of the main characters.Was this review helpful to you?
Glad this was the last immortal cause I might not be able to take another one of it
Such a ridiculous and childish plot it was .. seriously ..I hold it for 17 freaking episodes just to witness this drama getting more and more annoying with each passing episode.
Third class writing ... Whosoever wrote this screenplay needs to understand he gave away too much in the first 5- min of the pilot episode so there wasn't a lot to look forward to ... And further when we see the ML's irresponsible character (in another 10 mins of pilot episode ) we can pretty much predict how he must have fucked up.
Secondly the style of introducing new characters in the plot is so bogus ... I was watching the show on rakuten viki and in the timed comment viewers were so confused, they kept asking ' oh I forget when was this character introduced again ' , ' oh sorry I forgot who is this shuan? ' and so on ... A lot of characters were just unnecessary neither did they add impact nor to the development of story they just created chaos in our memory system.
Moving forward let's talk about the cast .. ZLS without a doubt kept this drama on life support through her acting otherwise there was no hope ... My girl is cute, hilarious, spontaneous and full of expression/ emotions. She can do any script. Other than that second ML was good both look wise and acting wise .. main ML didn't appeal to me at all ... His looks and acting both were too out of the place for this show.. moreover ZLS overshadowed him with her acting . Rest of the cast was just okayish.
Ost vfx fight scene were average to good ..I see people complaining a lot about these things but even if the standard of these things don't match the best, they were horrible either.
I don't recommend watching this rest is upto you

Really Good to Watch
It's a really good xianxa drama to watch. I'm excited to watch the next episode. The story is good, Zhao Lusi and Wang Anyu and all other cast did a good job. It's still 4 episodes and I'm loving it. I don't usually watch fantasy drama but this is an exemption. From the first episode, it got me hook already. All I hope is that for haters to leave this masterpiece and not ruin it by making false review and ratings.I am looking forward to watch the next episode. The CGI, the cinematography, the story is to my liking. The water beast is really cute. Zhao Lusi and Wang Anyu are both good actor. I love them. This drama deserve a 10+.

I really Enjoyed this!!!
Soooo Good! Very Happy with how Everything turned out and how nicely it was all wrapped up, with no loose ends. First and foremost I watched this for Zhao LuSi, I absolutely love her and I know it's gonna be good! I wasn't disappointed. I was immediately hooked on this story, I love Ancient love and let me just say wow. These characters really grow on you and they each develop so well throughout the series. Lots of lessons and of course evil plotters lurking at every turn. Zhao really is just so talented, her ability to play such a naive character and then hit you with a switch up, just gets me! I loved the drama, I loved how hard Gujin loved A'yin and the lengths he went to to protect her. I loved the secondary couple! I rooted for them from the matchmaking episode. Their enemies to buddies relationship was so comical and I lived for it. I squealed so much for them! Loved Hong Yi, he was a spoiled brat, that was a bit dim witted, but he was passionate about everything he did. The Bromance with Hong Yi and Gujin was also Great! They really grew on each other. A great watch! lots of comedy and angst, wonderful love that transcends time and rebirth. I would definitely watch it again. And while I loved it, there was a bit of repetition I was kinda like "ugh" with a few times. But I you know, it just kinda goes with this trope.Was this review helpful to you?
