Solid, but half of the time I felt that something was missing
Originally, I wanted to write a review earlier into the drama (writing this at ep 36) and I'm glad I waited because as the title suggests, I felt that the plot was missing something and I figured out what it was.
Story. The official description is slightly misleading, according to that description I thought that He Si Mu was made to exchange the senses with Duan Xu to restrain her powers. She exchanges the senses to experience the mortal world while she has them, she is completely stripped of her spiritual power. The first 9 episodes reeled me in so hard, I loved the dark atmosphere, the "broken xylophone" sound effect (this is the best I can describe it, idk what instrument it was, if someone knows, please lmk), the stern character of He Si Mu. And then from ep 10 up to 25, it just dragged on.... And here I think some or even all of this could have been written: 1. One more mortal forming a pact with an evil spirit and the spirit being annihilated. 2. The past of Duan Xu and Fang Ji should have been cleared up, because that ended up quite unclear. 3. Yan Ke's corruption could have been hinted here. Don't get me wrong, a plot is happening in these episodes, it just feels quite empty compared to what's going on from ep 25 and further. Overall, it's good, I like how the characters are written, the story is just lacking a little.
Cast. Ohhhhhhh it's exquisite. The unshaken, stern spirit sovereign fits Dilraba so much, I loved Wei Zheming as the jealous obsessive lover (I think I'm lately having a weak spot for the villains), Baron Chen could have had longer appearance of his character, I love him too. This is the first drama where I saw Chen Feiyu, I really like him and now I really want Immortality to be released some day (iykyk).
Music. It's pretty unique, I think I haven't heard an ost track sung by a choir, it gave me chills.
Rewatch value. Personally, I don't think I would ever watch this drama again some day, and non personally, i would maybe watch just to see Dilraba in all the gorgeous outfits and Wei Zheming again. Definitely not for the plot.
Overall, a nice 8/10, it's definitely a drama on the better side.
