Have you ever seen someone buy expensive and delicious ingredients for creating a certain dish or style of food, and then just totally screw it up because they don't actually know how to cook? Yeah... well, yeah. 🤣

I really like all of the actors and I don't blame them a single bit, but this is pretty much how I feel about the show too right now. 😑

Well... A little more than halfway through and I agree that some of the plot decisions are questionable. It's still a pretty solid show mostly carried by a group of good and interesting characters. I will say, one thing that has made me happy is how awesome the sword props look! For a drama where swordsmanship is so important, it delights me that each weapon looks good and has its own personality. The special effects for spiritual abilities and such are also nice and seem catered to the individuals.

The special effects they went with for Qingtong's web magic are so beautiful and cool! ❤️

I'm on episode 7 and I can already see why everyone has been saying the Yiqi Alliance is full of horrible idiots. Only two or three people who are part of the group seem to be decent people so far. 😤

I completely know that this isn't the point of the drama and I SWEAR I'm appreciating the fight scenes too... but like, Gong Jun is 100% gorgeous in every episode so far. He just looks great in everything and his perfect, handsome face is really something else. I could look at him all day. 🤣

Apparently some people think "elegant" is automatically feminine too, which is just... eh whatever. I happen to like it and think there is a wide range of expression and personal types in this drama. 😆

Sometimes it's fun to watch all the OTHER kinds of relationships that can exist between people, and I think there's a lot to unpack between many characters in this one. Good stuff.

Oh yes, it is a much better picture of him now! 😊

Halfway through I noticed that Er Shiqi's actor (Yu Yao) is quite young, I thought he was maybe early 20s, but he's only 18?! He really held his own amidst the more experienced actors in this and did such a great job. Hope he has many more good roles to come! Will always fondly remember our boys Buxiu and Er Shiqi. 🥰

Rewatching this due to LITC and oh man, I forgot how much I hated Suying. She's worse than the villain in this show and many others I've watched too. Just an absolutely vile character.

The mystical marriage ducks were funny in a weird, silly way. Not sure why but it just worked for me and I giggled at them both times. 🤣

She doesn't deserve to have a relationship with either of them, in my humble (still angry at her) opinion. Maybe YEARS down the line if she managed not to do anything else terrible.

Emperor of Zhushui Spiritual State sure had a terrible pack of children, and his whole palace was very grim. Would certainly never go to their house for the holidays. 🤣

I was just thinking over this (from multiple scenes)... No one has any loyalty in these realms? Both Jixing Abyss and Yaoguang Palace ready to instantly throw anyone away even after years of service, basically. And Ming Yi helped protect the whole damn place from a gigantic netherbeast eating people's SOULS! Sheesh. It doesn't make a ton of sense in the end, because why wouldn't you want an extremely powerful warrior who has proven themselves by saving you to join your realm?

A lot of those poor reviews seem to be misunderstandings about how their payment scheme works, the app itself works well for me. To be fair, their micro charges for each part or tier of watching stuff ARE very annoying, but as for functionality it has been fine on PC, Android, and iPhone.

Not too sure how I'm feeling about these last few episodes. 😅 A lot of plot points I would have done differently if it were up to me! But still holding out hope for a satisfying ending. Meanwhile, ALL of the cast had decent chemistry together and I'll be happy to see any of them reunite for other projects.

Sometimes the fun is in discovering how bizarrely wrong the synopsis was! 😂

As the other poster said, it's almost certainly the filters. They are heavily used in some Cdramas and a lot of other media you will see of the actors. They can look very different! Remember too that separate genres of shows will have their own type of makeup styling and it can make people look older, younger, more foxy or demure, etc.

Yeah, I don't even think she would have treated her hypothetically perfect son very well either.
