Great cast but bad story.
Bad Scripts and there are too many slow motion. Ma Qiuyuan performed the crying scene very well but it is used frequently and wastefully. The background music was overplayed, drowning out the actors' voices. Unfortunately, the lead actors usually perform very well in their previous works. I hope to continue to follow her work in other projects.Was this review helpful to you?

Great face, Bad drama
I was excited to see Ma Qiu Yuan and He Jian Qi collaborating again but the story was quite not my cup of tea. I quite like the costume though so to prevent my self for dropping the drama. I just make it fast forward but it still boring. The plot is basically Romeo and Juliet from ancient tribe and there is no melodramatic feeling between the leads. But nice face though. Avoid this.Was this review helpful to you?
Useless goddess and her entitled Hero
This is one of those dramas that sounds premium in the synopsis but collapses the moment you actually press play.
We’ve got the classic setup: boy from humble beginnings, girl from a holier-than-thou immortal sect. They fall in love, Then boom, surprise fiancé appears from nowhere and suddenly we’re stuck in the world’s longest, dumbest breakup arc. Up to episode 12, it’s basically torture. The ML gets beaten like a rented punching bag, and the FL cries. A lot. In that nails-on-a-blackboard voice that makes you want to mute the screen for the love of eardrums...
The plot then spirals into full nonsense mode. The script itself is weak and inconsistent. Dead people are resurrected by casually flipping paper dolls, memories get wiped multiple times l, exchange of soul devouring pills .. centuries pass… yet not once do these two adults attempt to actually talk out their misunderstanding hanging in their for hundred years ... I mean not even a symbolic missed call to start a conversation. The misunderstanding is dragged so long I started aging with it.
The ML actor genuinely did a good job. He carried his role with conviction. The FL… let’s just say the character didn’t do her any favors, assuming there was talent to work with in the first place. She’s supposed to be a goddess, yet gets humiliated left, right, and center like divinity was an unpaid internship.
Chemistry-wise, both actors look fine as lovers, but they’re wildly out of sync. The kisses are painfully awkward. The ML is out there delivering top-tier, confident kisses while the FL looks like she doesn't know how to press her petals in a kiss.
One thing is clear from this drama and that's 'Emotional overload without emotional payoff is not touching, it’s cringe.'
Final verdict:
Good ML acting. Weak script. Overused clichés. Excessive memory loss. Tears without purpose.
Not vouching for this one, sweetheart. Love may be a luxury for the weak in this universe, but good writing clearly is too. 💅
