Prefer the second lead
Story:The story was started pretty promising, yet after the beginning of the second reincarnation part, the story of the main leads became boring. It's the opposite of the second leads story, which I found more interesting. Though they started their love story at the slow burning pace, however in the end I thought their story was much more suitable as main plot.
Acting:
I also prefer the acting of the second leads. Bamby Zhu has more emotional side in her acting that Dylan Wang. She actually did a good job in her three roles, proof she is not just amateur. On contrary, Dylan Wang was a disappointment. His acting was flat, can not feel his deep love for the female lead.

Story: Some parts of the plot are similar with other wuxia drama. Like they have to go to school and then make friends with other students. But in that similarity, Ever Night made the story more clear and had a deep meaning, compare to other wuxia school drama. Some of the episodes were too draggy, maybe because of the development of season 2. I still feel that the peak of this drama was in the last episodes, but some of the twists are never to be missed.
Acting: I think the lead actor and actress have good acting skill, but not impressive. They good in comedy scenes and fighting, but really lack of emotions in sad scenes and chemistry. However, the CGI and fighting choreography are wonderful, and senior actors are brilliant in their act, except the emperor.
Music: The music from this drama is just good, some really can brought creepy and dark feelings to the scenes.
Rewatch value: I really like to watch the fighting scenes, I think those scenes made this drama special. And also the plot is strong and steady, so before the release of season 2, maybe I will rewatch some episodes.
Overall: The story about a kid who is nobody and then become hero is never bored to explore. However, not like any other drama that have the same based story, Ever Night didn't lose direction. Even after being slow in the middle, they still keep up with the purpose of the main character. That's why I think this drama is different and special.
