Very slow in the beginning, but don't drop the show it get's better and the ending is worthwhile
Super slow paced, but they do seem to be introducing the character's back story and their motivations which could potentially be worth it for the later episodes. We will see. I like characters who are naturally good and think for themselves instead of being told what to do so I will complete this show I just need time to do it.
Update: Finished all 36 episodes. Getting through the first 10 slow episodes in the beginning is tough but once they leave the mountain and travel the world. The pacing of the story becomes quicker and it's less boring. Ji Tanyin is very good female lead, she gives others the benefit of the doubt, doesn't rush to judgement assesses people and environments before deciding on a course of action, helps others. We get into how she taught humans to farm, get water and make furniture and machines. Ji Tanyin can cook and fight. It's also very nice of Yuangzhong to make food for her as well. The love is two ways not just one sided which makes it believable. The two leads don't just say they love each other they do things for each other to show their love to each other. The side characters have their own interesting little stories and interactions with one another and I find them all interesting.
The High Priest becomes a much more interesting in the later episodes. As a character initially I hated him, felt like he was a dick but he had a hard life his parents die, his friends lie to him, he gets scammed, people manipulate him and seal him away for 40 years. Now that I think about it this would make anyone angry and resentful at human beings and the world. I was able to have empathy for him later in the show. Ji Tanyin is a goddess he prayed to when he was a child and later Ji Tanyin comes to earth and she secretly supports him behind the scenes to me this adds an interesting layer to the story. Her wish is for him to have a family and live a long and happy life which is very touching.
So in summary the ending was enough to satisfy everyone I think some people prefer a happy ending some prefer a sad ending but having it lean towards a happy ending but be a little sad is what I prefer so I am satisfied.
