Story: This is xian xia story that I really love to watch. The plot is fast paced and almost no stopping. Although I dislike love triangle trope, but in this drama, the love triangle is not messing the romance. I even like the 2nd male lead. At first the scope of the story is not so vast, it just getting more vast after each lead characters got their memory of their past life back. With the scope getting more vast, there are many philosophical dialogs between characters which make this drama more complex than other xianxia drama. The negative side is I don't really care for the side characters. Luckily their portions are not too much.

Acting: I don't think the acting of every characters is the strength of this drama. Not even one I can categorize as the most outstanding character. But their visuals are very suitable for every character. Vin Zhang played the good and bad person so well as I have ever seen him in his old dramas with many kind of characters. Sun Zhennie also suitable as her character is a cunning and witty person. Wang Yang's visual and vibe is god-like, cold, floating and emotionless. And their costumes are stunning, though tend to exaggerating.

Overall: I was enjoying the experience of watching this drama, feeling nostalgic because of Vin Zhang as I first watch him in Chinese drama also in xianxia genre. I like him a lot then and I still like him now. This kind of xianxia story is not particularly fresh formula, but bringing nostalgia for xianxia fans after lacking good xianxia drama in many years is an excellent entertainment we craved for.
