Grudges over Sword and Resurrection issues
This series is lengthier and takes more time than what it's worth. finishing it felt like winning an Olympic medal in patience. and As if the plot itself wasn't frustrating enough that they wrote such ridiculously confusing ending.
Genre are fantasy drama romance —starring the painfully talented Xu Kai and Bai Lu—had all the ingredients for a hit, but someone clearly dropped the plot, then tripped over it for 56 episodes straight.Honestly, it felt like the writers mistook “epic” for “eternal”, because sitting through all 56 episodes was like serving a life sentence.
Let’s begin with the plot:
The first half is a circus, and the Second Female Lead is its headlining clown. She has a personality that screamed, “I’m not helpful, I just enjoy chaos.” literally a walking mayhem. She couldn’t teleport to save her life (literally), yet had the Messiah Complex deluxe edition. Every time she tried to "save" people, she ended up creating a domino of disasters that even the FL couldn't dodge—because guess what? If this human catastrophe dies, the FL dies too. Yay, soul-binding!
The second half? Ah yes, the FL's Magical Resurrection Saga where our Male Lead (ML) deals with deep emotional constipation and homicidal urges—cute? Not so cute.
Also, Immortals repetitive meet-ups which felt like a weekly kitty party with the same tea. And That golden cockroach deity —I mean, the recurring deity— who refused to die no matter what.
The cast :
Xu Kai? Still slaying.
Even when the story collapsed, he stood tall, delivering with subtlety and restraint. Definitely better than his "Best Choice Ever" phase (which was neither the best nor a choice anyone should’ve made). I’m holding out hope for his future pairings with Tian Xiwei and Zhou Ye—please resurrect the glory days!
Bai Lu?
I wasn't very impressed with bailu's acting (perhaps we should call it overacting) and cringeworthy body language , I mean it was so pissing to watch her wrap her hands around Xu kai's face everytime she helped him suppress the evil inside him atleast change the pattern, damn it! put those hands on his head neck shoulder whatever be creative . Her acting smiling and being in love with him was so plastic, people smile like that when they curse someone in the mind but don't want to show it.
Others ??
Creating their share of chaos.
Verdict?
Watch it once if you’re bored and have a skip button handy. .
