Katie Cruz

I’m not going to lie, but this was the first Chinese drama on Netflix that sucked me back in 2018, and I started watching more dramas after that. As soon as he played it on Netflix, I was ADDICTED. My husband created a monster. He watched it, too. It was pretty long. There were just too many things going on, so it got too draggy. The most interesting character for me was Run Yu, the Night Immortal, played by Luo Yunxi. He was such a great actor here. I was not a fan of the main leads, to be honest. I had the second male lead syndrome with this drama. There were so many side couples, it felt like it wasn’t about the leads anymore. I found myself skipping sometimes. I wanted to drop it midway, because I was so annoyed at Jin Mi and Xu Feng, but then I really wanted to know Run Yu, the Night Immortal’s fate in this story, so I had to finish it. I’m not going to lie, but even though Yang Zi’s character was like a child at the beginning, I understood why later on. I started watching some of her past dramas after Ashes of Love, like Immortal Samsara and Lost You Forever. While I hated the storyline, the actors did a wonderful job and delivered their roles perfectly. The villains certainly got under my skin and I kept cussing at the screen every time they were plotting something evil. The music stuck with me as well. It was a whirlwind romance, but they ended up with a happy ending. Go ahead and watch it and judge for yourself. As much as I wanted to love this story, I couldn’t.
