Three Lifetimes, One Painful Ending
I should have known that most xianxia (fantasy/magical) C-dramas 🧚♀️✨ tend to end tragically 😭😭. I’m usually not a fan of magical C-dramas, but since both main leads are my favorites, I decided to give this one a chance.
Unfortunately, the loopholes in this drama were big—really big ⚠️. At some point, the story lost focus and diverted attention from key plot points. For example, they completely forgot the important fact that Xiao Yao attracts demons, along with several other crucial details that were introduced earlier but never properly addressed.
The drama took us through three different life cycles, which was an interesting concept 🌙🔁. Hong Ye truly served visuals and delivered strong acting—his performance was on point 👏🔥. Xiao Yao also didn’t disappoint, especially in portraying her emotions; her pain and struggles felt very real 🥹💔.
However, some plot decisions were hard to overlook. Bingzhu, who was supposed to be punished for killing three mighty gods, faced no consequences at all 😐. Even the king, who committed countless evil acts out of his obsession with immortality, was never punished either. This lack of accountability really weakened the story’s impact.
I genuinely felt that the first half of the drama was strong and engaging, but the second half—and especially the finale—felt rushed and messy ⏳😞. To make matters worse, it ended on a tragic note, with the male lead sacrificing himself for the greater good 💔😪. A heartbreaking but frustrating conclusion.
