A really captivating drama with amazing cast and almost good plot

So where to start cause ALOT happens in this drama!!! some of the sub plots are story of their own and if it was other dramas they would probably stick with one or two and make a drama out of them but here you see the characters go from place to place uncovering new stories and parts of themselves. Different set designs and costumes really elevated the overall engagement you would have with the plot and the ost was such a gem!!! The cast has real chemistry and they nailed their characters, I knew they’re really good actors but they outdid themselves. Probably the only problem and reason I don’t give it all 10 is cause of last few episodes, it was the best xianxia until it took a turn and became like many other dramas, the ending didn’t seem rushed it just wouldn’t satisfy you as much as their journey up until the did, when you watch a drama with good actors and plot you do expect a good ending for all characters, I’m not saying keeping everyone alive and giving them HE but still you can manage to make the ending less like other dramas with lots of cgi and death, coming back alive and etc, overall I absolutely enjoyed watching it and would recommend if anyone wants to watch a good fantasy drama. But I would really like to see Bailu and Ruipeng in a modern or republic era drama, if given a good plot I’m sure they will nail it.

Same time and place, but we’re not all the same

This series was packed with diverse characters that each had their charm and a story to follow and learn from. Through the times of chaos we had people facing difficulties, making decisions, sacrifice, worry, run away from reality, work in shadows, have character development and at the end none of them were who they were at the beginning, for better or worse they changed. Seeing the way of living and ideas of such group of people gotta be the strongest aspect of this drama and the best part was the last episode when you could really feel what they wanted you to understand, no one is wrong or right; we’re just people making decisions and those will determine who we really are.
We had a neutral person, a man of logic and anti violence, a hippie who lives a day by day life suffering from running away, a rebellious student that has many questions and barely any answers, a passionate journalist seeking justice and ofc a righteous lost soul having opposites in life, an artistic heart and a harsh job/responsibility. This drama was a masterpiece cause of their interactions and conversations, their unspoken words being told through eyes, through departures and changes they went through and made. The acting of all the cast members was top notch you can’t really say anything bad about it, they all pulled off such a heavy story in the best way possible. Highly recommend to anyone who has a strong heart that wants to learn one or two things about matters of life, love and all in between.
