My beautiful general wife
I really enjoyed the series, it was fun and I got to see some cute reverse tropes (in the case of the general being all sweetly bossy to a helpless pretty boy) there were also some good villains that made me hate seeing them on camera. They pissed me off so hard. Some characters were developed nicely but at times that same development seemed a bit hasty.While I loved the series and how it ended, I didn't cry a lot which is just my own personal metric for dramas. (if I cry at some point during the drama then that means that the drama touched me that deeply).
The soundtrack was really nice and the main theme and song were great.

Mutual heart theft
What can I say about this. This drama is so good, the writing is so well paced, love didn't come quick and neither did trust, they were enemies and they acted as such, neither needlessly cruel nor unreasonably kind, just two people trying to deal with their emotions while also safeguarding their mutual clans. Slowly, the affection sprouted and then love bloomed and god how I love their communication, you feel tension but there are no misunderstandings that drag forever, anything that pops up is quickly resolved through talk and even if the talk isn't the solution at least they say all there is to say. Manman is such a sweet and smart lady, she stole my heart from the start, she isn't physically strong but she is so clever that she can overturn any situation. I could go on forever but I will stop here.Music is awesome! Love it highly recommend.

Represents all that a Wuxia drama is supposed to be
If you want a proper tale of wuxia heroics then this is the one! You have brotherhood and martial arts and overcoming obstacles to advance your skills! Also Lei WUJIE! I love him. I'D WATCH another season just to see him, Xiao se and Wuxin travelling through the world and getting through shenanigans.Loved how the story progressed and how the ending developed too. Such a good story. I love that the drama also stays true to its theme of youth just pushing through!

The good parts were great the bad parts dragged
For me the 1st part and last part were the best, they both made me fall in love with our wonderful leads. Sima Jiao is the best and softest lover boy and Tingyan is so relatable and so devoted too. The whole demon realm arc felt like it contained several repeated plot points.Sima Jiao almost died so many times that I wasn't really affected by all the close calls, it ruined my emotional investment in the drama. I was so sure that no one is ever gonna die because they kept being revived that the stakes never felt like they mattered, I feel robbed of a good cry.

Loved! Didn't even skip while watching
As the title said, great drama, the acting was awesome and the soundtrack matched the vibes perfectly!!I loved how women driven it was, like sure it had its rare damsel moments but most of the times it was just our amazing FL thinking her way through situations and helping out other women. This drama to me was about understanding the other, their struggles and what pushes them to be the way they are. I loved it. The instrumental soundtracks often gave the drama its appropriate heaviness and the acting was superb. The villain actually made me hate seeing him on screen and that hasn't happened in a while for me.
P. S. CHAI JING OWNS MY HEART. THEIR FRIENDSHIP WAS EVERYTHING TO ME.

Loved it but (Review contains spoilers)
I loved the drama, it started so string and it was hilarious and super rewarding at times. The acting was good and the soundtrack too. Now what pissed me off were the last episodes, everything felt rushed and then some stuff was just unnecessary.The whole Chu Zhao plot felt rushed, the king pissed me off as he kept acting so magnanimous and like everything was Zhao s fault, as if he doesn't have his own thinking pan in his head. Last ep ruined the show a bit for me, but I still enjoyed most of it so it s okay.

I sobbed so hard. I loved it so much.
I love well written tragedies, I also love fantasy and epic tales so this one? Ticked all the boxes!Fated enemies, fated lovers, tragic fate. We have gods, demons, mortals the ending of the world! We also have a very unfortunate boy who has a tragic life and learns to love, gets betrayed and loves still!
Tantai Jin's love is unmatched. Xiwu's is also its own kind of tragic, prophesized savior of the world falling in love with the one who destroyed it yet she keeps wanting to believe in him and trusts and tries so hard.
I am heartbroken, I sobbed so hard by the end I was hiccuping. It was one of best watches, makes me realise that truly, I can only find this type of content in chinese drama and nowhere else.
The Music IS AWESOME. I LOVE IT I HAVE THE WHOLE THNG SAVED.
Just watch it you guys, my words fail me.
