Must watch for those who want to fall in love again
Worth the wait! I love this drama since day one, maybe because I don't like too complicated stories. Although the story has its share of ups and downs, it never becomes overly stressful or heavy to watch. Instead, it offers a perfect balance of emotion, humor, and heartfelt moments that keep me watching continuously.The main characters beautifully portray the depth of their love for each other. Their chemistry feels genuine and powerful, drawing the audience into every glance, every conversation, and every quiet moment they share. You can truly feel their emotions—the joy and pain—which makes their love story all the more captivating. The way their relationship develops throughout the series feels both realistic and inspiring, and although there are many cut scenes, the story isn't affected at all.
Both the male and female leads deliver exceptional performances, especially when they are acting and crying. HMH is really a fine and talented actor in any field. He is really amazing, especially when he is crying, as well as Lu Yu Xiao. Their acting is full of sincerity and emotion, making even simple scenes feel memorable. They bring life to their characters in a way that connects with the audience, making you laugh, cry, and fall in love right along with them. Their chemistry is insane!
Even though the drama is still ongoing, it already promises to be one of the most unforgettable series and couples of the year. They are perfect for each other, and hopefully they will have a new modern drama. The story, cinematography, and soundtrack perfectly complement each scene. The effects are amazing too.
Overall, this drama is a must-watch. It will make you believe in love again and leave you eagerly anticipating what happens next. Truly worth your time!

Nicely delivered
I really got hooked to the story from ep 1. Their chemistry was top notch and their kissing scenes were fire. But ep23 introduced us to the misunderstanding which felt really inconsequential. Of course the story wouldn't move on without it, but I had hoped to be delivered better. I loved the first villain he had me boiling from anger and the shifu/father relationship had me in tears. But the second villain left me bored and I truly didn't care about his arc. Everything was so predictable, that they had the chance to kill him in ep34 but they didn't so as to have the final showdown in the last episode. Who does that? They didn't even have him detained or imprisoned. I ended up fast forwarding almost half the drama.Was this review helpful to you?
I cried......
I can’t find the right words to describe my feelings… this drama is perfect. The best xianxia I’ve ever watched. From the script, acting, cast, chemistry, and everything else. The pacing is great, and the ending is truly satisfying. Thank you for choosing this drama as your project, and thank you for bringing Ji Bozai and Ming Yi to life, dear Hou Minghao and Lu Yuxiao.Was this review helpful to you?

A Drama I Wish I Could Watch for the First Time Again
What a masterpiece! I came for this guy from I am Nobody. Man, what a great actor he is! Also, the female lead is no exception. All of them beautifully portrayed this story, I am just filled with love. Enemies to lovers is my favourite genre and it just took me 0.1s to give a full rating, because it deserves! I just finished watching, and if there is one drama I can forget, it would be this, because I want to experience this drama again for the first time. I wish I could post pictures of my most favourite scenes, but it would be 1) ep 19 - he appears in his demonic form and she endures everything until he finishes his duty 2) When they carve their names for the first time.Overall, a pure perfection!

Love in the Clouds - An Epic love
This year has delivered some truly amazing Wuxia dramas, and for me, « Love in the Clouds » stands among the best, alongside « Love of the Divine Tree » and « When Destiny Brings the Demon ». It’s certainly my personal favorite!💙 The Romance and Chemistry 💗
This drama showcases the "enemies-to-lovers" trope at its absolute finest. The story is captivating and what truly makes it stand out is the incredible chemistry between the two main leads.
Hou Ming Hao and Lu Yu Xiao are extremely talented young actors and their on screen presence is exceptional. There was no inhibition in their acting. They held nothing back, much to our delight.
An absolute feast for romantic fools like me.
Everything from the dialogues to the kisses, and especially the sensuality in their interactions, felt magical *oh the butterflies*. It's the kind of romance that makes you believe in epic love.
Beyond the powerful acting and romance, the entire production (story, cinematography and costumes) is a success.
And I can't forget the wonderful OST. Hou Ming Hao’s song « If Your World Had No Sunshine », in particular, is a true masterpiece that will stay in your head (and heart) for a long time. 🎶🎶🎶🎶
A must-watch!

Entertaining storyline tainted by gratuitous midpoint & lackluster climax | FL's vexing self-guilt
"When the water is too clear, no fish can survive. If one seeks an uncorrupted rule, perhaps the first step is to cast away purity itself." - Mu Tian JiLooking back, I must admit I was a little inattentive during the first five episodes of this drama, which mostly incorporated the typical idol drama tropes I've grown tired of. However, everything shifted the moment the second male lead, Situ Ling, was introduced. His arrival was the definitive turning point that captured my attention and drew me completely into the narrative. It was not because I was bored or dissatisfied with the main leads, but rather because the energy and aura he exuded brought brightness to the romance that rivaled the male lead and elevated the drama's overall synergy—leaving me captivated and utterly hooked.
The story as a whole was, in fact, entertaining. I enjoyed the execution of the enemies-to-lovers trope and thoroughly appreciated how the plot gradually and consistently developed the main characters' relationship. It went from:
• Ming Yi trying to figure out how to navigate her life around Ji Bozai.
• To Ji Bozai relentlessly gauging, doubting, and guarding himself against Ming Yi's every action.
• To their mutual cooperation on several occasions to defend themselves against their enemies.
• To him slowly warming up after getting to know her better.
• To them finally developing feelings for one another and, eventually, falling in love.
The overall development of the first half was genuinely fun, gripping, and compelling. This dynamic was made even livelier and more interesting by the initially pure and completely smitten disposition of the second male lead, Situ Ling, toward Ming Yi; the emotional conflict and drama surrounding the second couple, Mu Tian Ji and Yan Xiao; and the combination of the ever-adorable Er Shi Qi (Twenty Seven) alongside the ingenuous and childlike yet charming Bu Xiu—our main leads' Companion Beasts who made the show increasingly enjoyable to watch.
My main issue with the story, however, arises at the midpoint shift, when Ming Yi firmly refuses to reveal her condition—which requires the Golden Millet Dream to cure her—to Ji Bozai. This is where the plot started to shatter and crumble, as it severely disrupted what had been a logically consistent run of the story, leaving me utterly baffled and infuriated by how stubborn the FL was in sticking to her principles.
Believe it or not, I strived to look at Ming Yi's perspective with a pair of objective eyes—trying to understand where she was coming from, while considering and justifying her every action and decision. I thought that it might have been highly influenced by the strong guilt over her continuous lies to deceive him, even after he had laid himself completely bare to her. However, I don't think it was entirely necessary to go as far as letting herself suffer to death just to prove a point on how remorseful she was. It may sound noble, yes, but in reality, it was a display of insanity in the form of self-sacrifice—an act of an overactive conscience that I find to be totally uncalled for. This is why, despite my genuine attempts to consider her upbringing, experiences, and every other aspect there is that must have influenced her to act that way, I always still ended up frustrated. Even Ji Bozai himself had expressed his acceptance, trust, and leniency toward her, hoping that she'd also come clean and be true to him. Yet, she still chose to remain firm and continue with her theft scheme. Like gurl? I am so sorry, but what is this unnecessary extra drama for? *Exasperated sigh*
At one point, I even thought she was just being incredibly egoistic—guilt-tripping herself because, unlike Ji Bozai, she couldn't be completely genuine with him. Which later translates to her character becoming inconsiderate to the people around her. She thought she was the only one who was going to shoulder all the repercussions, but little did she know that her choices and sufferings were connected to and could greatly affect the ones who deeply cared for her—namely Er Shi Qi (Twenty Seven), her companion beast. His sacrifice to keep her safe is what cemented my irritation toward Ming Yi's self-inflicted, dramatic plight. I was so extremely furious at that time; it itched my skin to think they created a dramatic scene for this plot when it was completely avoidable. If she had not been overly self-flagellating and excessively guilt-tripping herself, he would not have had to sacrifice himself, and they would not have been in that miserable situation at all. So, it was such a relief that they created a redemption plot to revive Er Shi Qi later toward the climax. It would have been truly unacceptable if he had died, not in a battle, but by sacrificing himself for a cause that was absolutely preventable.
This is totally uncalled-for, nonsensical writing. It's just not convincing at all, considering that even Ji Bozai lied and deceived Ming Yi for a good amount of time. The only difference is that he gradually learned to accept, trust, and be truthful to her, while she remained forever stuck in the sturdy bubble of guilt she created for herself, until Ji Bozai finally burst it and discovered her true objective and real identity.
To some, Ji Bozai's decision to leave a trap using the Golden Millet Dream to catch Ming Yi may seem like a contradictory action, given how he mentioned he trusted her. But for me, it was his high-stakes gamble on their relationship, born out of desperation. He knew that she was still keeping secrets from him, while he, in numerous instances, never failed to make it clear that he was no longer hiding anything and would understand her objectives as long as she genuinely bared herself to him. It was his final ray of hope to keep his faith in her—a way of telling her that he could overlook everything and that her honesty was all he needed in return. Consequently, this turned from a clever yet petty trap into a tragic confirmation of her betrayal and fake sincerity. By being caught in the act of stealing the GMD, she proved that she was still hiding her real agenda despite feigning disinterest over it on multiple occasions. This turn of events instantly crashed their fragile relationship, the foundations of which greatly relied on Ji Bozai's genuine love and affection but lacked Ming Yi's trust and sincerity. It was like a brutal slap of reality, proving that Ming Yi's true intention and goal all along was the GMD, which automatically invalidated the credibility and sincerity of the feelings she had shown him. It was also an indirect confirmation that she had approached and stayed with him for the GMD, and that alone. What's worse is how she refused to tell him the truth even after getting caught, and despite Er Shi Qi's persuasion to get her to tell Ji Bozai the truth! Good grief!
This brings to mind a scene where Ji Bozai told his master's (Bo Yulan) portrait that he didn't care who Ming Yi was or what her real motive was; all he cared about was that her feelings for him were true. He even went ahead with openly letting her into his spiritual well and undoing the spell on the Golden Millet Dream, ultimately putting his guard down. It could have been the perfect chance for her to confide in him and tell him the truth; however, Ming Yi still opted for an irrationally stupid path instead of sincerely telling him the actual reason why she had approached him. She really made me pull my hair out in frustration! She didn't want him to go against his master's wish of prohibiting the GMD from resurfacing again, so she chose to steal it instead? My goodness! Make that sh*t make sense!! Everything could have gone the peaceful way, keeping the narrative shorter and unspoiled, but she still chose otherwise. I guess, I will never fully comprehend her rationale for choosing that outrageously dumb path, which could have been completely avoided in the first place. In the end, I have decided to label it as her noble yet utterly stupid self-flagellation—her compunctive guilt, which acted up and went far above and beyond!
I understand that the writers wanted to add drama and conflict to their premature relationship; however, the reasoning and the way it was executed were both so stupid that it left me wondering and asking myself: What is up with this unnecessary additional drama? *Shakes my head*
To conclude this part of my review, let me say that the whole midpoint plot greatly derailed the story for me. Her gratuitous penance and extreme exhibition of self-reproach truly pissed me off. It was just extremely baffling how she chose to steal it, even when Ji Bozai had already given her permission to take it and didn't really mind defying his master's will since it was for her. In the end, it was still used to save her, right? Grr! To set the record straight here, let me say that Ji Bozai was open to her taking it, but definitely not through stealing it. He only got mad out of sheer disappointment when she decided to steal it instead of sincerely asking him for it. This is really the plot point that changed the trajectory of the story, and it easily became my biggest frustration with the show.
Fortunately, after all that illogical drama, the narrative finally got back on the right track. The unraveling of both the main leads' true identities was executed flawlessly, untangling and answering all the hidden knots in the plot. This section of the story also greatly exhibits Ming Yi's profound understanding of Ji Bozai, which redeemed her character for me! I'm glad the writers finally came to their senses. If not, I would have had unfinished beef against Ming Yi until the end.
The climax, on the other hand, was a total letdown. They built it up to be the absolute pinnacle of the drama, only for the execution to fall completely flat. My heightened anticipation went right down the drain because the ending was so perplexingly underwhelming and anticlimactic. I can't wrap my head around how a single combined attack—one that didn't even look that formidable—instantly destroyed the massive, seemingly indestructible Sky-swallowing array. Like, how does that even make sense? I am completely at a loss for words. All I can say is that it was incredibly disappointing.
On the bright side, I am glad they at least gave us a satisfying happy ending. I particularly adore the Ji Bozai drunk scene. Heaven knows I was feeling kind of sad that I didn't see much of Neo Hou's adorable side in this drama, but I was immediately struck with great joy upon seeing him acting all cute and mushy during the drunk marriage proposal scene. Let me also just commend the cinematography of this scene, especially the backdrop and the high-angle shot. It captured the romantic atmosphere of their kissing scene perfectly. I am so grateful! Cravings satisfied! Therefore, I would say that this greatly compensates for the ridiculous midpoint plot and underwhelming climax they served us with.
I hereby conclude that the writers of the midpoint plot and the climax are either the same person or somehow related. Why? Because they both write such crappy plot.
Lastly, it's ironic how the character (Yan Xiao) whom I initially loathed for being servile turned out to be a genuinely nice person, while the character (Situ Ling/Chao Yuan) I initially adored for his absolute loyalty and purity turned out to be the final antagonist, whom I now hate and pity for how miserable and despicable he has become.
"To cower before the possibility of failure is to set ourselves up for failure. You don't surrender to your fate. You write your own fate." Ji Bozai
Story - 9.0 - Despite the underwhelming execution of the climax and midpoint plot that greatly spoiled my watch experience, I must say that I still enjoyed and was incredibly entertained by this show. I love all of the comical scenes, especially the ones that revolve around Er Shi Qi & Bu Xiu. Their chemistry is really 'giving.' Will it be strange if I say that they're my favorite ship in this drama? I swear, I could create a BL story out of them. Hahaha!
Acting/Cast - 10, The actors' and actresses' execution was spot on! Like, there's nothing more I could ask for. Heck, I can't even bring myself to hate the antagonistic characters because of how brilliant their performances are. My standout performances here are Yu Cheng En, He Nan, and Yu Yao. Special mention to Lu Qi and, of course, Neo Hou, who never fails to captivate me every time.
Music - 10, Truly one of the rare dramas that has an excellent roster of beautiful songs—the ballads! I can literally listen to the entire soundtrack on repeat multiple times.
Rewatch Value - 9.0, The poor writing of the midpoint plot and underwhelming execution of the climax really tainted this drama for me. I still had an enjoyable time watching this, though.
Overall - 9.0, If only they had not messed up a couple of times... I still blame the writers for incorporating such poor, irrational, and cliché writing.

This is a sweet romance story. Problem is? I expected Sizzling hot.
That is not to say the drama isn't good. Quite the opposite, it's very nice, that's why I rated it 8/10 and not 4.But it's like drinking water when you're expecting vodka... Where's the burn?
And NO I am not saying the story is boring or anything like that, as I said above, it's actually pretty good, very romantic and sweet. The thing is, based on the plot summary (and the trailers much later- yes I had been waiting for this for a long time and was super excited) I honestly was under the impression that this would be more of a "dark romance" kind of story. Instead this leans more toward the "fairytale" category. Again not a bad thing, but still VASTLY different, especially when you're expecting a sizzling hot romance filled with passion, mystery and love woven together with hatred. Okay maybe not hatred exactly, but.. you get the idea. In my opinion the "enemies to lovers" trope wasn't fully utilised.
This is a well made and enjoyable drama , the CGI is also really nice, and I honestly like it a lot, but I just can't help but feel disappointed. I expected a bit more.
The story slowed down its pace after the first few episodes and I found myself fast forwarding a lot.
According to the plot summary here: "...engaged in a thrilling dance of deception and attraction.", the descriptions promises a dark and thrilling romance story filled with mystery and sizzling chemistry. The drama though, despite the chemistry of the leads (which got to admit, was quite good), clearly leans towards the "sweet romance with a hint of mystery" type.
Also, I was expecting the fl to showcase more of her strength and most of all her intelligence and cunning in order to achieve her goals, especially from the beginning to middle of the story. This was a source of disappointment for me. I really wanted Ming Yi to shine more on her own, through her own power and smarts, to be ambitious. To be a bit more cunning, unapologetically striving for her goals and less childish. I wanted to see the "the cold warrior goddess who had reigned supreme for seven consecutive years" as the summary describes her, who even at her lowest point tries her best to rise again. Although Ming Yi did have some of these traits, her character setting in the drama left a lot to be desired, she was a fairy, not a goddess. She was strong but it wasn't shown as much throughout the story, she wasn't that cunning nor was she cold... at all. She was mostly pure and sweet and very childish. Yes we were told that she is smart, but in my opinion it wasn't properly showcased. I expected Ming Yi to be a bit more like Shangguan Qian (Lu Yu Xiao's character in My Journey To You), resourceful, seductive, a bit cold, ambitious and cunning to achieve her goals.
Hou Ming Hao's acting was really great, the main leads' chemistry was really really good. I especially have to mention the fl's teacher She Tian Lin portrayed by Lin Jiang Guo, because he stole the show along with 27 (fl's cat) played by Yu Yao. They were very funny and I genuinely enjoyed it every time they were on screen. Hu Yun Hao did amazing as Mu Qi Bai / Lord Hanfeng, his character was quite intriguing, he was both complex and flawed. Hu Yun Hao's portrayal of him was honestly magnificent.
One of the characters I didn't like is Fu Yue. Fist of all she is supposed to be Situ Ling's subordinate, she might love him, but the fact remains, she works for him, he is basically her boss. Thus shouldn't she have at the very least TRIED to refrain from expressing her emotions so obviously to him all the time? I understand she loves him, but she's still his subordinate she should've tried. Instead of that though, she's doing the complete opposite. This just feels off to me, based on her character's setting. Most times she's acting like she's his childhood friend or fiancée instead of his subordinate. I believe it'd be better had she been a bit more subtle about her love towards SL in the beginning and only slowly got more and more expressive about it till she "'couldn't hide it any longer"' when SL was punished by his dad. It'd be way more impactful that way.
Also She's a bit too harsh on others, especially for someone who's been through a lot, I expected her too be a bit more sympathetic to people in bad conditions (short example bellow)
SPOILER

SPOILER
(eg she was willing to sacrifice innocent lives in the 27 or 28th episode).
I'm still going to rate it 8.0/10 bc I did enjoy it, I just think it had even more potential. I personally expected something different, but at the end, what can we do, each has their own preferences.

And as if by magic....
I could really rip into this on a number of counts, but I think that would be unfair. Because, on its own terms and in its own genre, it’s quite good and sometimes really good. I try to resist the temptation to criticise something for what it never set out to be, and this one is clearly teenage fantasy land as far as romance and politics goes. Therefore to ask it to be sophisticated is not fair. There is a naivety about it that can get quite eye-rolling, particularly as far as the politics goes. But unlike, for instance, Alchemy of Souls, it is well directed with some good performances that help to carry you through the credibility gaps. But unfortunately there are quite a few of those…But first the good bits. Apart from the CGI, which I’ll get to later, I loved the colour palette for the series. It was rich and saturated and provided a sumptuous backdrop for the action. This was supported by dynamic camera work that helped to focus in on the action.
Having been adapted from a book, there had been some thought put into the formation of the characters which were varied. Because of this, I was never in doubt as to who was who. In general the cast stepped up and delivered, managing to lift an at times banal and clumsy script. You know it’s not good when during the climax you are explaining backstory and the tension plummets. The ultimate villain of the piece however, was fairly cringey. The character was a good idea and Yu Cheng En tried his best, but I don’t think it will be one for his CV. The writing didn’t help him, it was laboured and repetitive. Such a character is hard to get right.
The lovers delivered in spades and there were plenty of opportunities for romantic and playful interaction. I suspect this is the basis for the high rating and if romance is your primary interest, then this is definitely worth a watch. I agree with PeachBlossomGoddess, Hou Ming Hao being drop dead gorgeous doesn’t do any harm and easily papers over any deficiencies in his acting. Lu Yu Xiao melted nicely into his arms and wasn’t too pouty petulant either. There was both chemistry and affection aplenty.
The pacing for the first thirty episodes was very good. It skipped along at a pace that managed to leap across the yawning chasms of the plot holes, giving you no time to reflect on how you nearly crashed and drowned. Unfortunately the last six episodes didn’t make it, more about that in a minute.
Now for the negatives… The basic idea was sound, but the execution of it was sadly lacking. The fantasy magic was an all purpose anti-biotic which cleared up every sort of woe. Just point your fingers and mumble some words that preferably include heart and array, throw in some agonising pain, then without exception it all gets cured. All sorts of previously unheard of miraculous spells and occurrences leap in to quickly dispense with a dilemma. It’s a sign of a badly thought through world building exercise. If the scriptwriter has no concept of how things should work and what the limitations are, then how can the audience invest credibility into it. Yes, it isn’t real, it isn’t possible, it’s fantasy, but, that doesn’t mean that the imaginative element should not have structure and reasoning behind it, rather than just be a convenient way to solve plot problems.
Those last six disastrous episodes… As I said it rips along perfectly well until that is you get to the big plot twist around episode 30. Which instead of landing with a bang, sort of flopped into existence and everything after that just fell apart and underwhelmed. There was too much plot to be adequately explained for the time available and as a consequence the chasms started swallowing chunks of storyline, so that all that was left was random happenings desperately straining to hold onto one other.
But the main reason it didn’t come up to expectations can only be laid at the door of the budget. The CGI and fight sequences were bad. Sorry but there’s no other word for it. The CGI for the qi was very basic and not well integrated into the image. It had a sameness to it that became predictable and unconvincing. The green screens were often lurid instead of subtle, with a colour palette totally out of synch with the overall feel. In a story about warriors, there is naturally an expectation of at least some decent fights. But even the finale followed the same limited point and shoot style and was so easily solved that it made a nonsense of the whole build up beforehand. As for the spinning parasols, I must admit I couldn’t suppress the laughter, you’d think that auto-twirl would have been built into the design, but obviously the props budget couldn’t stretch that far.
This one is for the romance junkies who can overlook its glaring faults.

A pleasant , relaxing series sith sensuality and without big ambitions
It was enjoyable to watch. The couple is very charming — it was the first time I’d seen this actor, and I liked him a lot, just as much as the actress. They have perfect chemistry. The episodes are filled with sensuality — from the very beginning and in almost every episode, you can feel this atmosphere. Even though their relationship is like a roller coaster.The tension stays until the very end (which is rare, because usually after episode twenty it disappears).
The visuals are beautiful — the landscapes! . Some scenes are even staged in a style reminiscent of computer games, clearly inspired by video games.
As for the rest of the intrigue — it’s decent... but the supporting cast is rather weak.
This is a series I would gladly rewatch, but only my favorite scenes — the romantic storyline between this couple.
Every episode has at least 10–15 minutes of pure chocolate!
I urgently need to cut out that chocolate, melt it carefully, and turn it into a separate mini-series — “100% Cocoa of Feelings and Romance” ha ha

Steamy, emotion evoking, and hilarious
This show is absolutely binging. I finish the show I think in a start of two days and I had a swell time.The FMC is strong, principled, has been forced to be tough her whole life but still finds a way to be soft with the MMC. I have really enjoyed this actress ‘ dramas and I must say she’s slowly making her way into my must watch!
but for me in this drama, Ji Bo Zai really takes the cake! A man that has been hurt and abandoned since childhood still shows love and care to those around him. Yes! he’s suspicious and slow to trust but he’s always giving and helping. and Gosh the way this man lovessssssssss!!! A silent but steady love that won’t allow himself to be disuaded. So many times after the discoveries my heart broke for him but still he pushed on!!!
This actor has improved so much since I watched him in back from the brink! the emotions were well depicted and hard hitting.
The visuals in this were so stunning too, very visual forward cast, even the bad guys old any round were extremely good looking. but the MMC takes the cake for me. When his hair turns white and he shows up to save the FMC, I fell out my chair!!! the effects and makeup for that scene were breath taking
This show had more skinshp than I’ve seen in while. The plot called for lots of situations where the leads had to fake close proximity, and then once the faking was over, the actual moments were so steamy!!!!
some of my fave moments without too much detail
The angry lip bite kiss after the rock carving
The delirious hot tub moment after the soul seizing
The post blood moon “call my name/ 喊我” moment. I’m telling you I screamed!!!!!!! don’t know how many times I rewatched
I enjoyed this show a lot the only thing I didn’t like was the amount of time spent on Situ Ling, think there were a few episodes towards the end where we barely saw the MMC for a full 5 minute stretch

That Marriage Stone Needs to Ban Them
Wow. They casted everyone so incredibly well and thr chemistry was absolutely fire for all of the couples.Actors breakdown: The ML Hao Ming Hao did a great job but I felt he needed more emotional range. or maybe it was just the character. The FL Lu Yu Xiao was AMAZING. i will definitely be looking up her other dramas as this is the first of hers I have watched.
It would be nice to see Yu Cheng En in a character that doesn't give off "Peter pettigrew" vibes. He Nan (the Queen of abyss) did a good job with the complex role she had. I did wonder why she always looked like she was going to cry but maybe she was wearing uncomfortable contacts or something. Her love interest did a great job. I genuinely had no clue whose side he was on until further into the series.
I generally am NOT a fan of chinese OST (nothing personal just not my preference) and I LOVED this one. Im currently searching Spotify for the actual score.
Plotline: I felt like it kinda dragged between episodes 30 to 34. Like there are only so many times you can go in circles. That being said the show gave me a Ashes of Love/Eternal Love of a Dream. I would definitely suggest watching this one!
