I love Yan Zixian, but not this drama. I would even go so far as to say it was too long (even for a short drama).

What worked well for me: the cinematography and overall story. I thought the general narrative was pretty interesting, and it held my attention. The very beginning was an eye-catcher, with his depiction as a god and those angles I love watching. That domineering side glance he is known for? It is everything. I also enjoyed his deadpan, offbeat deliveries. He has a really great range, being able to go from menacing or delusional to quirky and funny. He's the only reason I picked this up, but unfortunately the script didn't work for me.

I also thought the performance of the lead he was coupled with undermined his parts. She had so many powerful and exciting scenes that I loved watching. In many of them, she showed off her martial arts, and I loved how strong she was. But she played two different roles in this, and her latter underwhelmed me. Overall, I didn't like this, but I did finish it out, so that tells you something.
