Xian Di Gui Lai Dang Zhui Xu (2024)

If Power Rangers made a romance story.

There are no bug masks or spandex leotards, sure. But there is the same brisk pacing, gloating overacting villains, bad cgi and even worse dubbing, a story totally unfettered by pesky things like 'logic', and actors doing a halfassed job of playing characters that make no sense and have no backstory.

Much like Power Rangers, i am not emotionally moved in the slightest by this story, and only mildly amused by the copious abundance of cheese.

I give it a 6 because despite its failings, it was fresh... and even though I felt it was a waste of time, I was at least somewhat entertained.

I do have to say, though..... that it attempted to be an action/romance story, and the result was that it ended up being neither action nor romance.

The title says it all—literally.

At first, the story introduces the ML as an immortal cultivator guarding the northern gate. He then decides to open a time rift to return to the mortal world. But by the second-to-the-last episode, he suddenly reveals that he’s the last descendant of the Jiang Family. His mother hid him to protect him from the main antagonist’s family, who wanted to use him as a human cauldron—just like what happened to his sister.

Then at the very end, he sacrifices his cultivation to tear open the heavens and destroy the area where most of the antagonist’s family was cultivating.

The plot is honestly confusing. Too many unnecessary twists and turns. I’ve watched a lot of C-dramas on YouTube and Dailymotion that had much better storytelling. This one only stands out because of its production and editing quality—the story itself is weaker than many others I've seen.

Maybe the only reason I stuck with it is because of the FL—I’ve seen her in multiple short C-dramas on YouTube.
