One of the best Xianxia’s out there.
This was the drama that made me fall in love with Chinese dramas. It is as good as “Eternal Love” is. The story is about a girl who is born with no emotion or senses. She can’t feel hot or cold or see colors or distinguish music. A boy comes into her life that is drawn to her and despite the fact that she is incapable of love, he puts his very life on the line to change that for her. Cheng Yi is the star in this show and his character is truly selfless and constantly doing the right thing even if the world around him punishes him for it. The story is unique and interesting, and the acting, amazing. Although the girl is frustrating because she literally cannot feel emotion and has a lot of growth to do, if you keep that in mind, you will love the journey. A lot of people get annoyed by the female lead because of who she is and what she does, but she has to grow so that she can learn to be a decent human being. How can you expect someone who’s never had feelings to be genuinely good to others? it’s impossible. The Director also includes a very full and very complete ending. He is a director who needs to teach other c-drama directors how to give a satisfying ending. I believe the ending is an episode and a half, which is perfect.. no one wants to watch 60 episodes and then have a five minute ending. I want a complete and satisfying ending after a journey like that. The director gets it, and gives it to you. If you’ve not seen this drama, I highly recommend it.
