It's a lot and understanding the drama is essential in appreciating the totality of the drama
This drama is probably one of the most, if not the most extensive drama, I've ever watched. So many couples, a lot of side stories, still I liked that all of it formed a complete story. As for the people that doesn't like the change in the latter half of the drama, It might be because there was a change in the dynamics between the leads, and somehow the romance felt flat for other viewers. Another was the convoluted plot at the latter half of the drama that set people off. I understand maybe they could've made it shorter, as for how, I don't know. Maybe people were turned off with the shift of tone and themes in the latter half of the drama. As for me I liked it from start to finish, though you need to actually have the motivation and focus to appreciate this drama, if I compare it to others, this drama is genuinely packed with so many things. To me the second half was more coherent and I had less criticisms of it, while the start was definitely more exciting and fun to watch especially the leads, but I just can't get around with some stuff. Especially the way they could just have killed the male lead early in the story, I know he needs to live to continue the story, but the way they went about it was insane, like all the plotting to kill the male lead but then not doing so, without any actual reason other than just sparing the male lead, then later on they talk about killing the male lead, when they could've done so earlier, that's one of the criticisms I have, there are more for the first half but my review would be too long. The "god" (Hao Tian) of this drama is probably the most human like god I've seen in drama's, he wasn't omnipotent or omniscient and the way he carried out his actions, is just like how your boss tells you to do something, he even displayed emotions. One last criticism I'll say is, the lack of substantial reasoning that one of the villains(He Xian Wo) had in doing their bidding, my guy did all of the things he did for what, just to become a hypocrite? Like he was mad with the things the divine clan did, but then he acts like one, disregarding the life of both humans and the spirit clan, just to cry at the end of his life, what even was he so mad for. Regardless of my criticisms, my favourite part of this drama was the acting, all through out the cast and characters, everyone did really well, that's why i think this drama is underrated, the performance of the cast was great. I think this drama deserves at least a rating of 8.5, I fail to see why people don't like the second half, sure the exciting romance that we see in the first half is gone, but the second half was necessary to complete the story. I would definitely recommend this to someone who isn't hung up with one thing in a drama, but someone who can see the value of the totality of the drama.
