You don’t need to question the aesthetic and cinematography of this director, but as usual, you should question the plot hahaha.
I love this drama, all characters are interesting, and I like how Lu Wuyi-Ji Ling and Wu Wangyan-Wu Shuguang’s stories are equally good (side-eyeing MJTY). The actors’ acting is so good, I think so far this is Ju Jingyi’s best role, she suits Lu Wuyi so much. The music is on point. The CGI in the earlier episodes was so bad, only getting better in the final episodes. This drama is so good it made me binge-watch it. But I hate how the plot holes seem so obvious, like they don’t care as long as the cinematography is good.
SPOILER
-I still don’t understand the twin butterfly demons. At first I thought they became Yan Wuhuo (they became one). Then there’s a scene where the twins’ image overlapped with Li Jie and Yan Wuhuo (in the illusion world), I thought it implied that they’re the twins. But then the scene shows the general died and he can come back to life because of the butterfly demon’s cocoon, and Yan Wuhuo also came into being, so I’m back to square one. At the end it was revealed that they’re both born from the original Yan Wuhuo’s obsession. So where are the butterfly demons? It’s kinda confusing.
-Well, talking about the butterfly demon, at the beginning they always talk with their hand in front of their mouth, but later they don’t do that anymore and there’s no difference. I thought some catastrophe would happen if they opened their mouths freely, so I guess it was just for show? To look mysterious maybe hahaha.
-The weasel’s father suddenly appears and saves the day. No one questions how he can be there? And when the others come out of the illusion and see the weasel crying while holding his father’s stick, without the weasel explaining anything they somehow know that his father sacrificed himself and fought Jiu Ying’s fragment?
-When Lu Wuyi told her rewind story to Ji Ling, we saw her grab black clothes (similar to what she wore when she stole the manuscript). But in the later flashback, she’s wearing white clothes in the 1st-18th rewinds. Then in the last rewind scene (I suppose the real rewind) she’s wearing black.
-Lu Wuyi severed her tails so she could talk to Ji Ling as a doll. It wasn’t explained how many/which tail she cut. The scene was also kinda vague, at first I thought she was gonna cut them all, but then in the next frame she was sitting on the floor and we could still see her tails.
-The height differences between Lu Wuyi and Ji Ling are inconsistent. Sometimes she only reaches his shoulder, sometimes she’s taller than that. It’s not a modern drama where we can see the character wearing high heels or flat shoes.
-After Ji Ling successfully removed Lu Wuyi from the original timeline, what happened to him in the original timeline then? We saw him trying to kill himself (prevented by Lu Wuyi, but now there’s no Lu Wuyi), so I guess he survived because he has dragon scale inside him. But why do people act like he doesn’t exist? Lu Wuyi’s timeline is only 50 years ago, and Ji Ling has become the dragon lord for more than 50 years. So what happened then?
-At the ending, Ji Ling and Lu Wuyi (seemingly) go to another timeline/universe. Are they having amnesia? Are they born again and starting anew as babies with no memories? Because they seem like they don’t know each other.

There are many more plot holes that I haven't listed, and many of them actually (imo) impact the main story, not just unnecessary plot holes like the height difference. Go ahead and watch it and just ignore the inconsistency of the story. And for people who say there’re no plot holes and that you just have to focus on watching the story, there are plot holes, okay. Plenty of them aren’t explained well even in the final episode. Stop glorifying this producer. He’s good at cinematography, but he doesn't really care about the plot, just like his other dramas.
