I love melodrama so this is up my alley but I would be lying if I said I was thrilled with the FL casting. I actually think BJT is doing a phenomenal job with this role but I’m struggling with the FL. she just doesn’t have “IT” and it makes it hard to believe he would be this obsessed with her and only her for so many years. im an introvert so I have zero problem with her characters severe introversion and quietness and trauma but you can be those things and not be bland which she is (to me). And I think this actress tried her hardest but it’s just not really working for me. I think how perhaps with someone else with more range it could have really taken it to a 10. I just wonder if anyone else feels the same.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but never mind—this is just my personal take. I think this drama is just…
same. it was very mid for me. I didn’t really feel chemistry or angst. I didn’t cry and I cry super easily. it wasn’t bad at all…….. it just was ok? average. watchable. deng Wei looks beautiful. But something was missing. I gave it a solid 8/8.5
I am struggling like you too. Finished all 6 eps yesterday but I still don't feel the chemistry between the leads.…
I’m struggling with her too. I didn’t want to say it and people jump down my throat but so far I’m just not getting anything from her at all to connect with. she’s just bland to me so far but I see she has a fandom so I’m hoping it gets better.
Ugggghhh why am I struggling with this 😿 I feel zero chemistry between the leads. There are way too many cuts in every scene never allowing us to linger…… instead it’s cut into 20 different angles. Maybe it’s the cinematography or editing more than anything throwing me off which is CRAZY because Yin Tao is one of my favorite directors and Ancient Love Poetry is my favorite Xianxia.
I’m not a hater at all. literally love DW and Xianxia is my fave genre. I’m mostly sad I’m not loving it the way so many other people are.
Going to try to stick with it and hope it gets better for me. Anyone else struggling?
This had SO MUCH POTENTIAL and much of it was squandered. it was my January surprise that I looked forward to daily. Then it just became extremely frustrating to watch. The writing….. WHY. With that said, Song Wei Long killed this roll and hugely exceeeded my expectations. looking forward to him getting more and better projects.

I think I’ll just pretend Yuan Qi time travelled and this is him and forget The Last Immortal happened.
