I'm rewatching it, and men, this drama is good! I loved back then and love it until now. 100 out of 10.
Each and every episode keeps you on your toes.
I think it continues to have one of the most beautiful drama cinematography ever.
The actors are great, although I'm not a big fan of Esther Yu, she did a very good job (not childish). Ryan Cheng was a amazing, I would live to watch him in more wuxia, but I looks like it's gonna take some time.
Forever sad that this will not have a second season.

I get you, the new dramas are more engaging, but you have to consider that the drama industry developed a lot. So the old dramas like Aches of love don't have the same quality for production, CGI etc. , but are classic amazing stories. I kind of fell you can't compare, because they represent the best in 2018.

Yeah, Eternal love is good as well
I also put this one in my top list along Ashes of Love, The Starry Love and the new Moonlight Mystique.

Yess, I put it on my top wuxias list already.

Exactly my feeling, I'm felling series hangover already.

Yesss, the filming locations are the same. Those are also the same as The Double, Lost you forever and some others.
Another day I was complaining that the scenarios are being repetitive for wuxia/xianxia lol

I'm so happy, this drama was amazing. Everything about it is good.
I watched each episode every day and didn't want it to end.

You are completely right.
I started to watch, but now I regret it, because it's so good and I would like to binge watch, but I can't.

This is fun and light, I had a good time watching the first episodes.
It has comedy moments without being overly dumb.
Of course, there are some weird things, like trying to run away with the most scandalous dress ever.
But this means that it is one of those dramas that doesn't take itself too serious, which is not a bad thing.

Really? It's hard to imagine they as being more worthless than this, but let's continue watching.

There is only one thing that I would like: that the other 3 disciples got more into action.
I know Ran Ran is the main, but they could help, participate more, most of the time they are just standing there.

Team rocket kkkkkk I literally laugh out loud here

Why the rate is going down? This drama is so good!

In most dramas, if you commit less mistakes than Bailing, you lose your immortality and never can transcend to the heavens again. He should be condemned forever, throw into the void, anything more serious than what happened.
But here, they said the bad things he did, remove his spiritual powers and let's live go on? Even with the possibility of coming back to heavens to "listen the emperor teachings again". Man, you should be banned from heaven forever.
I really get the "don't seek revenge thing", but in this case, I completely disagree. At least he should suffer what he did to the others, that would be JUSTICE, not revenge.
What makes me annoyed is that everyone is sorry for HIM? Crying and saying don't go. What about everyone else he killed, all the bad things he did? The genocide? All the lies and manipulation? How come no one is angry??
Even the emperor hopes he comes back? I'm so mad. I have never seen a more light punishment for someone that truly deserved it.

I decided to watch again this xianxia while waiting for others to come up.
It continues to be one of the most interesting I have watched!
But the end always makes me angry. How came everyone just forgive Bailing like that? Come on, that is ridiculous. Because +

I love Cheng Yi.
But if you are interested, Ren Jia Lun is another amazing actor that makes heartbreaking dramas, I cried my eyes out with Love of Nirvana.
If you like short dramas, Richard Li´s dramas are great, considering they are short dramas.

Exactly my thoughts, I need a Cheng Yi xianxia drama again! He is so perfect for it.

Really? omg!

Exactly!!

The name of the drama should be XiaoYao gege, it's all the FL says, it's kind of annoying.
