If I had to rate the first 15 or so episodes this would be as close to a perfect romcom as it gets in China, i'm not even sure if content like this could even get past the censors these days, there is really just too much emotion and some other things here. Though I do have to mention there are some love shapes around & I'm not a fan of FL's personality 1 & personality 2 loving a different person for so long. Though admittedly if a love square ever made sense, then it's in this drama & I really think they could have made this far more annoying, perhaps the fact that it's only 24 episodes helped a lot too in this regard.
As for episodes after 15, we had the finale of the kingdom arc & it was quite strange & then we quickly transitioned to the immortal world / spirit realm, whatever it's called in this show & that part kind of felt as if I were playing Chrono Trigger, but went to the last dungeon while skipping 2/3rds of the story and game content. However since this is a trilogy & there is a chance it will make more sense in the future. Sure the Demon King is a pretty boring cartoon villain-ish enemy, but very little time is wasted on him & the rest of this arc (4-5 episodes) is not really that bad, well not bad not great, but more often than not xuanhuan show endings or rather the final batch of episodes tend to be worse than what we've gotten here. So I decided to rate the show at 8- just barely - and so onto the next one, so long friends..
