An incredible ending. Either you will love it or will rage against it. Many details to grasp - worth rewatching a few times to digest it.

Not sure what's wrong with the ratings for this episode (why so low??) but the content starts to reveal more and more of what lies ahead. There are scenes that will be explained in later episodes, have patience.This show is definitely one where you can't be coasting with your active mind switched off for mindless entertainment. Some seemingly 'inexplicable' actions actually make a lot of sense if you're paying attention.Overall gorgeous production quality, intriguing story, convincing cast. For those who love anime and mangas (not traditional C-drama xianxia) or even high end games like black myth - incredibly rendered in live action tv series. The setting and quality is way above the level of the usual (mediocre and obviously fake) fantasy c-drama setting. This one actually immerses you in the world of the characters and draws you into their universe. Many scenes feel more like a movie rather than a TV series, and warrant a rewind / pause just to admire the beauty and vision of the design. Script and storytelling is tight and fast paced with many interesting hints of what lies ahead throughout for those who enjoy piecing together puzzles when watching c-dramas. This is one drama where you'll be rewinding key dialogues just to make sure you heard correctly and didn't miss a crucial foreshadowing/hint. Acting here is spot on. All the characters from the subtle but superbly convincing portrayal by LYX to the engaging and interesting supporting characters - succeed in adding to the immersive experience. So far there isn't any jarring or annoying 'pulled out of story' moment from bad acting (unlike in some recent and concurrently airing c-dramas in similar genres where I actually like the Leads and was so looking forward to the tv shows - but alas got unwillingly jerked out of the story by half baked acting, inconsistent character interpretations/portrayals, annoying in-your-face artificial settings, and couldn't continue)

36-39 - the script is unrelenting weaving a tale of limitless human capacity for betrayal, heartache, scheming, ungratefulness but also of trust, loyalty, devotion and friendship. On hindsight it is a fitting way to push TLC's character further - part of his journey to experience the 7 emotions. LYX's acting is incredible and embodies complex emotions so convincingly that one is immersed when he's on the screen (supported by a very capable main cast).

34-35 are excellent episodes - intriguing conversation between TLC and GMD followed by battle of wills and manipulation. An expected encounter with the past rendered in an austere but beautiful celestial realm.

WoF is great at creating these epic episodes that cap each segment of the story and this one is no exception. The dramatic unfolding of the fengliuidian villains' destruction and the epic responses by our heroes is truly a feast for those who enjoy animes (or even marvel shows).

This must be one of the most exciting fight scenes in a c-drama (along with episode 5). At episode 12, the epic scenes makes one wonder (with excitement and much anticipation) what comes next in later episodes.More tantalising hints of what motivates Tang Lici. Worth rewatching 2-3 times, each time new details are picked up.Such a high quality drama deserves phenomenal attention and viewership. It's like watching a tv drama version of the Nezha 2.

Incredible scenes and action from the 13th floor. This might be one of the most pioneering settings in fantasy c-dramas - depends on whether later episodes can outdo this.Gorgeous production quality, intriguing story, convincing cast.

Kudos to the scriptwriter. Every episode drops new tantalising hints about the origins of Tang Lici, his mysterious powers and back story while seamlessly continuing the plot as a brisk unrelenting pace. More great CGI to bring the story to life. LYX does not cease to amaze with his ability to convey emotions and inner depth.[Spoilers] He sees saving FZ as a mirror for saving himself. Stand against 'sacrificing one to save the many' - his eagerness to save FZ reflects his personal struggle to avoid his designated fate as "the sacrifice".
