A critical and fair review- everything u shud know before starting this drama
I'll start with an opening statement - it is a VERY GOOD drama as far as the storyline, mystery, characters and actors are concerned.
Now, into the details!
Tbh i decided to watch it because of the trailer and the opening of the first episode. 26 episodes in and the story has got me HOOKED. Mainly cuz of the following reasons-
1. The actors- zhou yiran and bao shangen are amazing actors and the chemistry portrayed by them is fantastic. I have read some reviews which say that the FL's line 'i can't leave my family and friends for you.. ' said to the ML are true, it is there.. but it is mainly to throw off the sect members who are against their being together and not letting the ML be too hopeful in case she is not able to be with him and ends up breaking his heart. She is NOT HEARTLESS but FAIR and RIGHT. Dw, as far as I have watched this drama and from my experience of cdramas, they should end up together, happy :)
2. The plot twists- the upcoming plot twists which i have deduced from the novel are worth the wait.. the 'man in black' and his reason will be unexpected and shocking for those who are not that experienced in such plots.
3. The forbidden love between the righteous and the demonic sect members cuz of the past generation's blood debts is an arc which will be changed by the new generation (hence the title i believe).. and in one of the teaser's MQY (ML character) says this one line, 'i want to settle the debts between the six sects and the demonic sects and establish peace to marry you openly.. ' it is so heartwarming and strengthens my belief of the drama having the desired ending.
After reading a fair amount of reviews I have noticed that people are not satisfied with how the story is progressing..I have identified a few common reasons for the same:
A. The editing
B. Storyline- in the sense that they find it confusing cuz of the unpredicted references to the past generation without revealing the actual thing in one go..which can be a bummer but I don't mind it.
C. The romance- it is there but when u actually want it, it's cut short.. but there was this one episode where the ML character's attention to detail in case of FL is wholesome.. especially how he prepared her favourite wontons for her.
I would like to point out though that the songs could have been better and the editing could have been smoother, but imo, the merits outshine the flaws.
If you are the kind of person who is everything for the editing and visuals, you could reconsider watching this drama.. but if you can't care less about the same and focus more on the character growth, storyline, actors and plot twists, it's a must watch!
Don't start this drama with any expectations if you wish to be satisfied!!
