i'n not that good in writing reviews but i will just give my honest opinion...

(With the storyline of their child unfolding, this has to be the darkest xianxia of all time for me!)
This drama requires patience because it's the type which gets better and better each episode, the plot is solid i was a bit doubtful about the direction cuz the director is a retired director who was rehired to do direct this drama, but i quite liked his work it's better than what i expected al.. the screenwriter also did a good job the script and plot are solid and genius cuz my brain cells all worked so hard during this period of time thinking what's going on? what will happen? what makes them hate each other and what's exactly causing this"feud" to the point where i feel tired now hahaha, but i can tell that the story is unique..It is not an ordinary love/hate drama , the idea is very profound!! There are debates and collisions between different viewpoints, and various characters have found their own "morality".There is not just a superficial misunderstanding it's a difference of the ML and FL's principles to life as an immortal and their responsibilities to the mortal world. Once you get beyond the first twist you understand why the initial episodes played out as they did, why the characters appeared superficial creating periods of boredom.. Plus, there are some genuinely funny scenes, mysterious scenes which gives the show extra points for me, i was so blown away by the philosophical arguments they had especially in ep 16 on the concept of cause-and-effect (" life philosophy" was well done tbh)...Bai Lu did a great job playing two different characters, a character who’s innocent and naive, but not in a silly or foolish way she strikes that balance really well and the strong and stubborn (i loved her playing a mother role i felt that it's a real mother who's suffering for her child)...Also Joseph, this is my first drama watching him and he did really well and i may check his other works, if you want to watch u need to have patience for slow starts having learned they really build a solid foundation for what’s to come. Can’t tell you how many times the story gets interesting only to realize u have missed something and have to rewatch early episodes to put it together. It’s refreshingly unique, not the usual tropes. The story only gets better and better it's not generic and predictable drama for sure it's full of plot twists. the ending is so satisfying for me, i was thinking how they will wrap it as a happy ending after all what happened ( that i didn't want it to be a HE) but this ending for me and makes sense...overall all i understand that not many people will enjoy this drama cuz not many people will understand the plot and the story, kuddos to the ones who really understood the story it's a bit complicated even me who really likes this type of stories couldn't understand the plot earlier, i was rewatching the eps to find more details..it's worth watching but u need to prepare yourself mentally and watch it with a clear mind, the CGI was good as well as the costumes that may not be appealing to some people but personally i prefer simple things, the background music felt off sometimes i agree with this opinion but the more i watch the more i get used to it as well as the dubbing..( in the end i recommend u to watch but if just u have a strong passion for this type of stories, a story which holds a deep meaning, hidden truths between the lines...)
