UNDERRATED MASTERPIECE OF 2025 that goes in my all time fav list

This drama is actually the best of 2025 and I am surprised that other dramas of 2025 (especially some modern ones) have a higher rating on MDL.
I completely trust the chinese sites on drama ratings and reviews and so I decided to watch it. Its good enough to deserve that an 8.8 rating considering MDL standards.

Why?
1)Plot - The plot has your general Student Teacher relationship with a twist. You get to see both the leads playing the student and the teacher. The premise revolves around FIGHTING DESTINY FOR LOVE and it has been done so well❣️

2) Characters and acting - The FL is truly the star of the drama. The way she has portrayed two very different personalities is worth praising. Its commendable. You fall in love with HER WORLDVIEW ❣️

The male lead's character sees tremendous growth during the entire drama and its believable. He has NOT been written like an all righteous and perfectly tame ML. I loved that. It was a treat to watch him.

The villains are your classic xianxia villains. The OG delulu jealous villainess and her pathetic one sided hatred. Then you have the nice second lead guy in love and of course the cute side couples who make the entire journey worth watching.

3) Romance : Slow burn 🔥 and interesting. Amazing chemistry. The push and pull is great.

👎Cons - The plot gets very slow at 20 something and and picks up again after 6-7 episodes . My complaint with this is my complaint with MOST CDRAMAS...its TOO LONG! 30 episodes would have been ideal

Overall, it was a great watch.

Abundant themes and ideas with a major ethical reservation

„Love of the Divine Tree” harbours an impressive number of themes in the neat chain of causality. However, some ask for ethical reconsideration, so prepare for a bitterness overload.

YIN & YANG. It is pleasing to observe how these clash when the two strong leads are confronted, then gradually mix and form a delineating curve. When the plot tears them apart, the yin and yang start rattling anew, searching for a new equilibrium.

Su Yi Shui is tagged as a sample of yin. He displays a total immersion in a belief or feeling. All he needs is freedom and appreciation. His opening up to love reveals his hidden nature of a giver. After the loss of his master, his remorse grows immense till it blocks his ability to participate in life fully. Followed by a short period of calm, his amnesia phase sees a radical depletion of his potential.

Deng Wei in this role is brilliant at expressing those wuthering heights, this wild turmoil – especially by means of one-second movements, gestures, glances, outbursts with graded volumes of fury, longing or regret. He is immersed in this character so deeply that each cell seems to play the role. He is a black diamond of hundred facets, each imprinted as a dark hot flash in our memory. The dignified frame and silky movements add to the impression. Note the actor’s awareness of the meaning a body position may convey: when exposed to a comparison against Wei Jiu, Su Yi Shui chooses to stand half-turned away from the crowd: perplexity and unwillingness to participate. Regardless of the prevalent Asian standard of beauty, he has been adorned with wavy hair; both black and white wigs match the complexion. Alert – he cannot hold a baby safely.

This character would not be complete without Xu Yi Ming and Zhang Jing Yi, performing scenes from Su Yi Shui’s childhood. The scene with the mother’s door shut is truly heart-rending. I am not in favour of stripping actors of their natural voice, but the selected voice actor (Sun Rui Yang) yields a matching timbre for exasperation.

Mu Qing Ge vel Xue Ran Ran is a specimen of yang, with self-certainty, pride, joviality. Her readiness to take responsibility, straightforwardness, lack of fear or regret are also bright. A lady in red, her broad smile and directness in flirting challenges to surpass the Chinese convention of modesty.

Han Zhi Xiang did well in depicting both the mature master and the budding apprentice. Worth noticing is her capability of presenting the purged memory, the unprepared youth. When confronted with the masked stranger, she tosses all the paper spells at him. The voice actress (Duan Yi Xuan) did her work so diligently that I thought there are two.

RESOCIALISATION. The subjugation of Su Yi Shui is not an isolated occurrence. Mu Qing Ge has a vocation, an innate tendency to rehabilitate. Apart form building a mixed-ability team of apprentices, she manages to convert Wei Jiu, as soon as Tu Jiu Yuan has cracked his callousness. She also reshapes the world-view of the sects that once killed her, and catalyses a bond between two ex-enemies.

The prolonged presence of Spirit Spring inside Su Yi Shui’s heart is a symbolic reminder that childhood abuse drags on, requiring time, empathy, willingness on both sides. Unfortunately, the drama involuntarily challenges the boundaries of interference in another person’s integrity.

OBJECTIFICATION OF MEN. In most C-dramas man has to serve woman, which is hardly acceptable. There is a heavy load of possessiveness in Mu Qing Ge’s acts. The chains she put on her apprentice are no different from those of the Eternal Sect or in his nightmare. After the memorable scene with lamps, she ruins the mood by insisting twice on his eating fruit and drinking alcohol. Once means an offer, twice is coercion. The scene in which Su Yi Shui receives cat pets and starts purring (vol up!) shows that the heroine fails to respect his dignity.

SHORTAGE OF TRUST. We gather enough evidence that the young man knows his aim, the risk of hosting an evil force, and his eagerness to quit crime once he breaks free. The prophetic book shows merely a dispute who would become the new emperor – not the end of the world. Princes’ rivalry has always brought a bloody fight. So Mu Qing Ge had better advise rivals to take a duel, instead of bloodshed that depletes the army. Su Yi Shui does not pose threat to humankind, his intentions deserve no distrust. Unlike Dun Tian, with whom she shares her plans.

LACK OF SENSE OF JUSTICE. Mu Qing Ge disregards the long list of persons Su Yi Shui’s father once ordered him to eliminate. A punishment for the past would serve as a practical guidance better than irrational blame of potential future crimes. The worst example of validation of cruelty is the justification of Su Yi Shui’s mother through her dishonest letter. At the Marrow Cleansing Pool, supposed to accept cultivators after they leave their obsessions, Xue Ran Ran and Dun Tian somehow manage to retrieve theirs.

FALSIFIED HISTORY. The opening legend is all twisted on purpose. Mu Qing Ge is its main victim of accumulated superstitions that brought about a ‘witch process’ and foddered the hypocrisy of observers. Even Su Yi Shui’s hitting the formation wall is misinterpreted as his attempt to kill his master. The legend leaves out Mu Ran Wu’s enactment.

COMMUNICATION ISSUES. Much plight results in insufficient communication. It was given the form of a muteness spell. In spite of her eloquent quirk, Mu Qing Ge / Xue Ran Ran proves unable to circumvent the spell (by gestures, metaphors) or detect its symptoms on others. She seals Su Yi Shui’s and Zeng Yi’s mouths, being aware of ensuing injustice. Note her negligent attitude to other sects and her sister as regards the information flow. She indeed is warm but frank towards Su Yu, and reasonably instructive towards the rehabilitated Wei Jiu.

Mu Qing Ge fails at overhauling information gaps. She takes Su Yi Shui’s integrity as obstinacy. Having been around her sister or Dun Tian, she remains unaware of their evil nature. As Xue Ran Ran she is unable to recognise her master in Ling Xiao. When she talks deprecatively about Su Yi Shui to his rival, the content is abusive enough, the wording even more.

BASIS OF LOVE. A drunken kiss brings pain. Trying to reignite love to regain memory, the leads hastily kiss and fail. It shows that love needs an emotional basis, not physical. When forced it can be unrewarding. It takes work to find and maintain a point of convergence. What triggers Su Yi Shui is a promise of a home, light, good food (alco and cicadas excluded!) and understanding.

LOVE AFTER LOVE. This is relevant for viewers who experienced the loss of their beloved. It touches subtly upon the aspect of age difference in a relationship, attitudes and expectations, similarity vs sameness.

APPROACH TO THE LOSS. Unlike many dramas indulging in time travel, this one disdains the idea. Changing one’s fate is possible, but only in alignment with its temporal development. We must embrace the bygone. The greatest offence is made by the worst villain, Dun Tian. His family love is vitiated in confrontation with the spirit of his wife, whom he grabs by the throat. Mu Ran Wu is punished for ousting a person, Su Yu for drawing someone unwilling. The conflict between particular interest and common good is relevant here.

INSTABILITY AS A CIVILISATIONAL THREAT. There is a symbolic scene at the invaded Mount Wester, with dilapidation and nauseatic rolling movement of grey, disintegrated settings, and the death of the Reincarnation Tree. It may stand for today’s world’s decay, atomisation. There is nothing left to adhere to, no point of reference.

TRAP OF PROFESSIONALISM. Mu Qing Ge is so self-assured in her moral teaching skill that she trespasses the boundaries of Su Yi Shui’s integrity. Even if the outcome turns out to be right, it is not THANKS TO but IN SPITE OF the intrusion. He separated the good he received (love, home, sacrifice) from the accompanying bad.

Mu Qing Ge’s sect’s recruitment pattern is gathering youth whose talents fail to comply with the expectations of the competitive sects. She is adamant in defending them – and proves right. Su Yi Shui’s process of recruitment proves wrong: what matters is devotion, mere skill is insufficient, pride is disruptive.

The married leads organise chores to reflect their past turn-taking at supremacy. This model builds independence and yin-yang completion. However, the eldest son should have been taught to wipe off his stain.

NOTES

The flow gets disrupted by redundant verbalisations, reappearance of longish proper names. Still fewer in comparison with the artifact data in “The Blood of Youth”. It makes a viewer feel like a PC gamer, having to “select the weapon” to be allowed to move. The imagery also needs trimming: too many symbolic trees, twigs and one-use beasts.

OST: some phrases will stay in my memory for long. However, I reserve max 10 pt for creative masterpieces like in “The Blue Whisper” or “Kill Me, Love Me”.

The YouTube version might be abridged. Probably this is why it is not clear when Wen Hong Shan claimed to be disfigured by Mu Qing Ge, when Wang Sui Zhi left the Wester, when Su Yu got poisoned or when Tu Jiu Yuan gave birth. For final battle resolution, it took an irrelevant dragon immortal and her motionless child.

APPEAL

My appeal concerns everybody involved in determining C-drama’s future development directions. The genre has become a chance to evade being under the fusillade of the Western convention: this one spark of hope left to preserve dignity, creativity, modesty, true development, faith in humanity and more. Please avoid the Western ‘aesthetics.’ One of the greatest threats is the indulgence in unnecessary plastic surgery and tweakments as breach of authenticity, as interference in actors’ and actresses’ integrity, in their sacred bodies and countenances – the beautiful mirrors of their souls.

Written by a nationless spirit confined in the decaying Mid-Europe.

THOUGHTS!!

Love of the Divine Tree

This drama was so interesting and definitely kept me hooked. I wasn’t completely obsessed tho, which is the only reason why it’s not getting a 10/10. I loved the visuals and the plot lines and the character arcs for everyone though and no episode was boring to me. Definitely definitely recommend.

Ok, instantly. The visuals in this drama are insane. The setting, the characters, and all the colors are all so gorgeous. Deng Wei’s facial features are so sharp. With the mask and the markings on his face combined with his sharp facial features, *chef’s kiss. THE VISUALS. THE VISUALS. THE VISUALS. Everything is literally perfect.

Wow. The 1st episode was so good. It definitely hooked me into the rest of the drama. I love the switched plot of this drama. Master-disciple turns into disciple-master. The power that Su Yishui holds.

What happened in their past life together because Su Yishui is already head over heels in love with his past master. The look in his eyes when he sees her wearing the red robe from years and years ago. It’s just, this early on, he’s probably still in love with her master’s old identity and not her new one. We’ll see though.

Only episode 5 and Su Yishui has already started caring about his master even when he “hated” her at first. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I kindve want the drama to go back to modern times though. This backstory is nice but I want their new reborn life to be shown again. Yup he’s a goner now too. He called her “master”, accepted her, smiled when spending time with her, and wants to protect her from injuries.

Only episode 6 and Su Yushui gave up years on his life just to save Mu Qingge. Dedication, devotion, and all of the above is all I got to say. I love how he gave her the benefit of the doubt and remained kind and caring without jumping to conclusions. This shows that true love can beat any type of spell or poison. He’s already kissed her forehead this early on, holy. “You told me to protect the mortal world with you, but it’s only worth it to me if you’re in it.”

No way this drama is making me cry at episode 7. The desperation in Yishui’s voice when he realized that his master was protecting him and never wanted his power. She never got the spirit yet made sure that the other immortals thought she had it. She put a silencing spell on Yishui so he couldn’t tell the truth about him being the demon child. Most importantly, she told everyone she was the demon child and therefore, sacrificed her life to keep Yishui safe. This is a real master-disciple relationship. Yishui trying his best to get to her and stop this, but couldn’t. The raspy voice that he had plus Mu Qingge’s love in her eyes for him at the last moment. All she ever wanted to do was protect him. And then Yishui saving her soul to allow her to be reborn again. Wooh! That was a lot.

Ohhh…I see how this drama is set up. It breaks in the modern plot for several episodes to give us the backstory, then resumes right where it left off. It’s actually pretty smart. I take my words back, I like the background to better understand the situation.

I know that Su Yushui isn’t supposed to feel any emotions anymore, but I can quite literally see the love and care he still has for Mu Qingge. I have no idea how that’s possible, but he’s kinder to her. He cares about her wellbeing differently than all the other disciples. He wants her to be happy and can basically, never say no to her.

EVERY SINGLE CDRAMA ACTOR LOOKS SO GOOD IN WHITE HAIR I SWEAR. I FEEL LIKE I’M SAYING THIS IN EVERY SINGLE REVIEW, BUT IT’S SO TRUE. DENG WEI IS NO DIFFERENT.

Episode 17 is actually insane. There is one word I can describe this whole drama with, literally and figuratively: AURA! When Su Yishui touched that demonic power and had that dark look in his eyes, it was over. “You dare hurt my disciple.” Poof. They’re gone. His eyes are so expressive.

Ughhh the start of episode 18 made me want to claw my eyes out, scream and kick my feet in admiration, and yell because of the miscommunication. Su Yishui confessing his love for Mu Qingge and how he just can’t let go of her, while Xue Ranran doesn’t know that she is Mu Qingge. So, Ranran thought that Yishui still loves someone else. I felt so bad for her when he kissed her twice because in her mind, she wasn’t the person he was envisioning. But, the truth is, she has been all along.

Those episodes in the very middle of the drama when Yishui was pushing away Ranran in order to protect her made me rlly aggravated but I also understand him as well. He has so much power that he doesn’t know how to uncontrol. Mix that with the guilt of his actions in his past life and he’s bound to want to distance himself. But, the hurt that they both felt when he did that was so painful.

When Ranran found out a little more about the truth of Yishui, I’m so glad she’s strong minded and understands her master. “You’ve protected me from the very start, so I will never abandon you.” Even though Yishui doesn’t realize it, Ranran is trying to protect him just as much as the other way around. Those harsh words still hurt tho, Ranran has to endure the fake words that Yishui is saying to try to push her away. If she wasn’t as strong minded, this drama may not have a happy ending, but we’re hoping. Just please Ranran, don’t give up on Yishui. Keep on fighting.

Yes yes yes. Finally, she figured out the truth. Now that her true identity is out, her and Yishui are working together again and caring for each other again. Wow, the cinematics in this whole drama is so beautifully done. The green dragon and the vermillion bird both helping Ranran and Yishui. Them reuniting in their original bodies on its back. This drama is actually so beautifully done. Gorgeous gorgeous.

Holy. The dedication between them 2 in order to protect each other. Ranran gave up all of her spiritual power in turn for Yishui reaching the Transcendence stage. She’s now more vulnerable than a regular person to injuries and she can’t cultivate anymore.

I actually despise Mu Ranwu. How are you getting mad at your sister when you were the one that tried to take her soul to begin with? Mu Ranwu is a horrible person who doesn’t do things for the goodness of the world, which is the major difference. There is a reason why good things go to Qingge, it’s because she’s a better person. Mu Ranwu is just demanding and annoying. She even got mad at her disciple and humiliated him when all he wanted to do was help her.

I despise these misunderstandings though. The forgetting memory around episode 30 made me want to actually quit. They’ve been through so much already, they didn’t need another road block in their relationship. I feel like we’re back to day 1 again. Still though, Yishui protects him with all of his power, he just has this instinct. Ranran truly makes Yishui a better person, influencing him to think abt the good in the world and not his own selfish desires.

Omg, Yishui was completely taken over by the demon, but he was somehow able to stay in his own consciousness and fight his way back to Ranran. He not only saved himself from killing her, but he shattered his own essence core to expel the demon.

One of the last scenes in Episode 39 with both Yishui and Ranran working together and in synchronization, it was so harmonious. Even though both of them were stunned by their attack not working, you could really see how they are equals now and not master and disciple. They are both working together, protecting each other, and trying to protect the world.

I loved the HE. It ended great for most people and even those that ended up dying, they all were meant to. It was the best decision for themselves to stop their suffering and give themselves up for the greater good.

My favorite cdrama✨✨

I enjoyed love of the divine tree so muchhhh. No boring episode. I usually get tired of cdramas because of the long episodes often derailing from the main plot or dragging on for too long but this was a very refreshing watch. Their chemistry was really good, they definitely killed their roles and the ending was very satisfying.

"The Unfeeling Mantra" A perfect master-disciple love story

Waaaa!!! Wow just waaaw!!!!

I have discovered this drama before,but only watched it now,and now I am asking why? Why only now? I want to finish it but I don't want it to end. It's been so long that I became crazy like this again,I drank another poison.

To say that this drama is best is an understatement,I defined it as "perfect"
From the breathtaking sceneries to the great portrayals.
From the profound techniques to the amazing use of magic.
From the beautiful costumes to the handsome and beautiful faces.


The leading man,indeed, led this drama with full of angst,anger,love and charisma. I love all his roles,from villain to hero. From disciple to master. From cold-blooded to an in love man.I fell in love with all his expressions,whether he was showing love or disgust.I love everything about him. The gorgeous face,the unique style,the strong stance,damn,I found a new wallpaper for my phone.

The story weaved beautifully. The magic,the props I repeat, it was perfect. Even the villain here had a beautiful love story to tell,sovereign Wei was a funny villain.

This c-drama was top-tier in delivering sarcasm and comedic dialogue. It was also awesome in showing drama shots and perfect in brewing romance.

Love the fact that he was practicing the unfeeling mantra to make his soul whole again and yet his feelings for his master grew even stronger,his unfeeling mantra was destroyed,because he was not allowed to fall in love but he did the opposite.

If you want to fall in love but want to hold it back,but couldn't control it and still keep on falling in love. Then,this is the perfect drama for you.

The face card of Master Su Yishui is to die for.I will be proud to be his disciple.

It's one of the best drama I've watched in a long time

Going to be long but I made an account to review this drama. Bear with me.

ML: Deng Wei- Su Yi Shui; His acting in Miss the Dragon was what captivated me. I wished for him to do another movie as the ML. This is like Christmas came early for me. The way he act is so refreshing. Even when he's arrogant, mean or annoyed it's so refreshing to see. He doesn't look like a jerk, but more like a HERO lol. Very charming and that side profile is to die for. The way he walk, move, subtle movement when he's annoyed, jealous, happy and hurt is so relatable. His stoic look is such a signature and only Deng Wei can make such character likeable. His badass side when he's fighting the valiant is so powerful and command such great screen presence. The way he cares for the FL and how strong and smart he is.

The scene when he sealed the Spirit Spring and the tears rolled down his face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ohhh I felt that!!!!!!!!!!!

FL: Julia Xiang- MuQingGe: It took me a while to like her character, due to how flirty she was. At first it came off as unprofessional but I had to remind myself this is a drama. It slowly grew on me and to see the two character's personality later when she became XuRanRan it became apparent why the personality was require to see compare/contrast. The voice acting can be borderline too cute- but again, I had to remind myself she is only 18 years old. But she slowly became more mature as the drama progress. Her acting was refreshing....only thing wish was that her crying/emotional scene matches Su Yi Shui. In some scene, SYS would be crying, tears running down his face and she looks a little stoic, or smiling and doesn't match the energy. BUT: it could just be a me problem, because at this point, I am so invested in their love lol. The drinking got to be a bit much for me too...but I am not Chinese so IDK if wine/liquor symbolized something I wasn't aware of. I wish they did a scene where ML and FL went and got that whine that MQG hid when she wrote her last msg to SYS her first lifetime...

Side character: Each characters played their part and wasn't overly annoying. Each was refreshing and served a purpose. Except for all those disciplines that MQG took her first life time... I didn't see the need for it lol. My favorite was Zeng Yi: Cao YuCHen. His acting matched and was so nice to see his interaction with Su Yi Shui. Their little fights and argument had be fan-girling. The way Zeng Yi points his finger to SYS is hilarious" ne ne ne"

Wish the story for Qiu Xi Er and Gao Cang was more developed as well. They had a vision of them getting married but we didn't get to see that at the end. It would be nice to see them wed with DW and XRR.

Wei Jiu and Tu Jiu Yuan: Wish they concluded their love and child more towards the end. It felt a bit rushed. There was potential for a cute love story between the two villain, but fell short. But for what it was, I enjoyed their story as well. The scene where Wei Jiu threw away the blanket had me LMAO.

Chen Xin Hai- Su Yu and Zhang Wei Na- Mu Ran Wu: Su Yu's also acted nicely. Looks like a prince. However, his story development wasn't strong. It got a little lost for me. The sacrifice he did at the end was well served.

Mu Ran Wu: she played her character well too. She had to be there to keep the story between the FL going.

Ye Xin/Dun Tian: The story development wasn't as strong. I felt the reason for him to do all that was a bit weak...to travel to another realm to spend time with his wife and daughters because of regret??? Seems a bit weak for an immortal. The actor who played Dun Tian was also too " good looking, kind looking" to play the bad guy at the end. I wish the character who played Prince Ping was kept as Dun Tian. He looks more evil or even old Kai Yuan lol.

CON: Some audio sounds a little off. Maybe because of the dubbing and mic. It wasn't too bothersome but enough to notice. The story line around the prince/emperor/majesty was lacking. After MQG died, this story line almost went unnoticed. The half sister, she was non-existence until the very end. I thought she had died. All the CGI got to be so much towards the end. Maybe because of how beautiful it was in the beginning, the end got dark and it was so messy. I was at this time so exhausted lol.
I wish..... someone would have fainted and fell on the ground with the ML or FL catching each other lol. But the fainting was so soft, just falling on the shoulder lol. I wanted a long, embracing hug but we didn't get that ...

PRO: The soundtrack was beautiful. The chemistry between the ML and FL was phenomenal. Deng Wei, I felt was the shining light in this drama. His acting was beautiful, regardless of what character and timeline he played. The emotions was felt. The comedy and small talk was also hilarious. Its a good mix of comedy and seriousness. I enjoyed the explanation and each scene had it's purpose. The flash back was nice and not lengthy. The connection between each lifetime was simple and easy to make sense of. I am glad nobody travel through time and space lol. 18 years, was easy to follow.

The ending was so sweet!!! I could use a little more scene :D But it was very sweet to see that after everything, they had the chance to just live and be normal, with their children and a home.

Will watch again for Deng Wei!!!!!

overall solid watch, could've def been better, but I recommend!

PRODUCTION (8/10)
costumes were so pretty oooo but they did my least fav choppy slomo directing method :/

STORY (9/10)
they dragged out SYS's memory loss arc wayyy to long. also personally I would've loved to see more devil SYS cuz he was so handsome heheheh. SY felt a little sidelined and irrelevant after a while, so I would've loved some more involvement. I loved SYS tho, he's so angsty, coughing up blood every episode lmaooo. He rlly needed a heart transplant... SYS treated XRR so badly tho like bro just express your feelings ffs... usually I don't like cutsy FL but I couldn't help but root for XRR cuz she was believable--strong yet weak. the ending tied everything together pretty well!

ACTING (8/10)
not outstanding but was pretty decent. Chen Xinhai's acting was better than I thought, he def pulled off the gravitas of the character! Deng Wei overall was just mid, not outstanding but he def had some standout moments. Julia Xiang, considering her age, was pretty good tho! she pulled off MQG and XRR and made them both feel believable.

VISUAL FX (9/10)
CGI was better than Moonlight Mystique, but a little worse than Fangs of Fortune. still, probs one of the best CGI I've seen in a cdrama imo

OST (7/10)
just mid, nothing that stood out tbh

It was promising

I liked Deng Wei on Lost you forever he was so sweet and faithful but I don't know I think he was not ready to carry with a whole drama as a lead. I think this character required to be a lot more stronger.. maybe he has a gentil face I wasn't convinced by his acting. I hope to see him playing better roles in the future.

Deng Wei at his finest

Two words. Deng Wei. I vow to watch anything where he is the main character now. His face and acting is perfection. Both him and Julia Xiang both were able to act out separate character personalities flawlessly. By episode 6 I was already crying.

I will say, as most Xianxias go, the middle was really draggy filler material. I skipped a lot. However the cast, acting, storyline, and OST are still what makes me give this a high rating.

No geral, gosto do trabalho do diretor Yin Tao, ele é bastante cuidadoso, principalmente, na edição final das cenas que vão para o drama e não costuma perder o ritmo durante o drama (sem longos períodos de enrolação e nem correria no final). Nesse drama não foi diferente, boa condução, boas cenas (aproveitou bem o elenco), boa cinematografia, uso de efeitos visualmente agradáveis, figurinos e músicas adequados ao enredo. Senti falta, no capítulo final, de algumas pequenas cenas com as personagens Wei Jiu e Tu Jiu Yuan mostrando como ficou o relacionamento deles depois que ela retornou ao lado dele e, também, o detalhe da criança, se ela ficou três anos escondida no monte oeste, a criança ainda não tinha nascido ou foi esquecimento?
O roteiro é interessante, o romance dos protagonistas tem bons momentos, as atuações são boas (algumas um pouco mecânicas, mas bem aceitáveis). Muitos personagens gostáveis e, até os vilões têm um lado lastimável.

Worth the watch

This Series was definitely worth the watch.
I came across it by chance but I totally enjoyed it all. The chemistry between characters, the plots and the acting was wonderful. I was taken in from the very start to the ending.

The supporting characterrs great in bringing out the story as well. I had to rewatch a few just to ensure I didn't miss scenes, but I thoroughly enjoyed the love-hate, fated to end the world, yet wanting to save ones love. Sacrifices for Love overcomes evil.
