I NEVER would have thought I could watch so many episodes.
I started watching the drama because of Deng Lun, whom I have admired since the series Mr. Fighting. So I learned (with a heavy heart) that he is banned in China and that I will most likely never see new dramas with him again...I'm an incurable romantic, so love stories are always welcome. However, I don't like it when the relationship between two brothers breaks down in a story because of a love triangle.
Although I definitely like the main male character, the second male character really touched me. I was touched by the way Run Yu's face lit up when he saw her, and how he called her" Mi Er" in such a gentle voice. Luo Yun Xi has given an outstanding performance, especially in the part where Run Yu's trauma is revealed.
The radiant, sad, desperate, pained or resigned gaze of the character portrayed by actor Luo Yun Xi penetrated deep into my soul.
Ever since I started watching this series, the name Xu Feng has been stuck in my head. I liked the character only because of Deng Lun. He is a great actor and I adore him; he played his role perfectly, but I always felt that everyone was drawn to Xu Feng for no apparent reason.
I liked the idea that the attraction between Jin Mi and Xu Feng, which existed in the celestial realm, also existed on mortal earth, even though they were unaware of their former attraction.
I liked the story of the two from the mortal world.
I liked the effects that depicted the characters' supernatural powers.
63 episodes are too many for me, so I don't know if I'll watch the series again. Maybe just to see Deng Lun acting again, not necessarily for the story itself.
Forgive my bias, but because I like Deng Lun so much, I accepted the ending, even though I found all the action towards the end very painful.

I have a hard time giving up movies/series, but this one was too hard for me to continue.
I've seen more than enough (20 episodes) and I don't have the patience to watch more, even though I like both actors. A terribly weak script, with far too many clichés and absolutely annoying stuff.The phone rings EVERY TIME they want to express something.
He stops giving her flowers, just because her wish for the future is related to her job. How absurd can be that...?!?
I really couldn't resist watching how nonsensical scenes appear repeatedly in the series.
I really liked the chemistry between them and, of course, the love that blossomed. However, it really annoyed me that, although they had held hands and even kissed, in the next scene they had completely forgotten that there was anything between them, and they became strangers again.
I heroically endured 20 episodes, so I'll give the series a 6, because it's a very weak one.

Not my cup of tea
In my opinion, this movie's rating is way too high. There is NOTHING spectacular to keep you involved in the action. I didn't find the series particularly interesting. But it wasn't so bad that I would abandon it. It's a mediocre series that doesn't deserve an 8.Yes, the script captured a realistic aspect of a human being who doesn't know how to accept love because it's unfamiliar to him; at least in the real world, this could be a reason that stems from his early childhood.
What I liked was that the series showed the side of the ML where he reflects on the situation and acts unexpectedly, but in a rude way that others initially condemn.
Shen Wu was my favorite character. Fei Qi Ming played a really cute role.

I personally enjoyed it.
What a wonderful journey this drama was. I will definitely rewatch it. I fell in love with the character played by Liu Yu Ning in this drama. He delivered an exceptional performance, which is why I will continue to watch other dramas with him.This drama brought me a dose of enthusiasm for Chinese dramas. Until now I was a big fan of K-dramas, but after watching some very successful Chinese dramas recently, I've switched to C-dramas (somewhat forced by circumstances, but I don't regret it).
I will not express my opinion on the drama itself, because the love story between the two main characters, their characters and personalities, captivated me until the very end.
The main female character with her personality mixed between sanguine and melancholic is a solid force that cannot be easily overcome. Her gentleness, determination, capability but also beauty are the characteristics that make the main male character not remain indifferent.
Yes, her beauty impressed him from the first moment, but all the "components" of her personality made him see more than he wanted to see, forgive more than he could ever have imagined forgiving, and last but not least, to love someone he never thought he would love so deeply.
Her goal was very clear from the beginning, but not for the viewer. The beginning was fabulous. I didn't even realize what the female character's purpose was in taking everything from her cousin, including the man she was supposed to marry.
I believe that this kind of romance, which takes place between the two main characters and is characterized by tension, skepticism and denial, simply cannot fail.
When they realized that they both shared a common goal, namely the people and their protection, trust between them began to be built stone by stone.
Wei Shao is a tough, brave, and loyal man with a heart for people, but certainly not the gentle, sensitive type who reads between the lines. It's quite amusing to see him appear shy or misinterpret his wife's signals. Liu Yu Ning's imposing stature also contributes to Wei Shao's formidable presence - a brave general leading his troop of soldiers.
All in all, it caught my attention, and Liu Yu Ning has brought to life a very interesting character that I personally liked very much.
I also liked some of the supporting characters, but surprisingly, I really liked Xuan Lu's portrayal of the character Su E Huang / Lady Yu Lou.
It's not a perfect drama, but it's a drama you will inevitably fall in love with. It makes your heart skip a beat, puts a smile on your face, and makes you want to watch the next episode.

It was an interesting foray into the world of Wuxia
I don't remember watching any series of this kind before, but thanks to a user who loves this genre, and also Dylan Wang, I started watching Chinese series, especially those with actor Dylan Wang.It took me a while to understand the "language" of this type of series, but I have to admit that it caught me and I unexpectedly enjoyed it a lot.
I hope what I write doesn't interfere with what others have written, as I haven't read any other reviews.
What I particularly liked were the metaphors used and actually transposed into fantastical things, such as the fact that he could sense when she was depressed, happy, or afraid, which led him to do everything possible to improve her condition, by all possible means and to protect her. Her changing emotions, which he could feel just as she did, were something that particularly disturbed him. When she cried, his tears flowed too. I really liked the idea.
Now I think I'll be able to watch Wuxia series with one of my favorite actors, Deng Lun.

This review will be more about emotions than the movie itself.
I looked at this drama with different eyes after reading the article in which some statements by actor Kim Ji Hoon were captured.Although actor Kim Young Kwang only appeared in episode 1 and very briefly in the second episode, I loved his role as Gang Cheol. Despite the fact that he didn't seem like a positive character, I just couldn't see him as bad one. I loved him and I enjoyed every second of the scenes he appeared in.
Gang Cheol's transition into Yun Gap's body, actor Yook Sung Jae did an excellent job. Things have changed along the way and therefore the acting has also changed from the initial one. Gang Cheol became softer, more clumsy, more human.
Gang Cheol lost more and more of his identity as a deity, in front of the human one, which he increasingly adopted. From here, I loved Gang Cheol for his struggle between the desire to be with his loved one and the goal he actually had initially.
The king, portrayed by actor Kim Ji Hoon, I watched closely to feel the actor's efforts, being put in the shoes of a king who had to shoulder the burdens of king, father and husband, responsible for the people, while also being caught up in supernatural chaos.
I watched the efforts he put into the intensity of his voice, to give weight to his emotions. Actually this is due to the article I read, where the actor talked about this.
I liked the king and I adored Kim Ji Hoon.
The actress in the main role, whom I have never seen in a series before (or maybe I just didn't notice her), gives value to the character and dresses it with a lot of wisdom, skill and dedication.
I like Yeo Ri's character because, despite her prejudices, she succumbs to the love that vibrates strongly towards the one she thought she hated and, although at first she is confused, believing that everything is due to the body that the deity is using, she realizes that her feelings are actually for Gang Cheol. I liked this and I'm curious what the ending will be, since I'm on episode 11.
Actor Kim Sang Ho puts on a wonderful performance, with as much vocal effort as the king. Although his role is a supporting character, as a blind fortune-teller, he captured quite a bit of attention through the authenticity he offered to the character, an opportunist, seeking only his own good - to gain power - betraying absolutely everyone.
Although I like historical films, I'm not really into fantasy ones. I've enjoyed this drama so far, although I wouldn't necessarily watch it again, and I hope the ending is a good one.
For the interpretation of the roles, for the respect I have for these actors who work harder than we can imagine, I will rate the film 8,5/10.
EDIT: I saw negative reviews and I really don't know why, because the idea was very good. I really liked the idea that the accumulated grudges of those who died turned them into evil spirits who couldn't leave the earth, and forgiveness set them free. And Yun Gap highlighted this by resisting the resentment that was beginning to accumulate in his soul, saying: "By accumulating resentment, I allowed my heart to become contemptuous." It seemed profound to me.

My way of watching dramas is to look for dramas and films in which a particular actor has starred...
...so here I am watching a second drama starring actor Liu Yu Ning. The first drama I saw with him was "The Prisoner of Beauty", a very beautiful story. I wrote about it as well. How I came to that drama, however, was by chance and I chose the series not for the show, but for the high rating on the MDL.I wouldn't say that this series is the type of drama I like to watch, but the characters, their personalities, the unity and strength that this unity gives, really captivated me.
Visually, everything is superlative, as we are used to from Chinese productions. The action...a little too much for me, but within these events, love, trust, and attachment between the two main characters also blossomed. Yes, the love story alone has kept me watching this series so far, and I will definitely watch it to the end.
What started as "advice" from a respected person ended up awakening more "engines" than if it were a simple attraction between the female and male characters. This fact in itself was very attractive to watch, how an absurd request from the female character shaped a deep love and appreciation in the male character's heart, in which he not only agreed to fulfill the request (he was hard to convince, but the thought haunted him from the beginning), but also gave value and importance to her future. (I don't recommend trying this in real life 😏)
I'm about halfway through the drama now, so I'm very curious to see what awaits me in the second half.
