One of the best Xianxia dramas I have watched so far! Worth the watch? Definitely
This drama has exceeded my expectations by far. I have been eagerly waiting for this drama for a long time. It did not disappoint me to my delight.
The story of the drama is super engaging, touching, suspenseful and captivating. The conflicts/persued goals are moving the characters forward and making the story very entertaining. There is current story carrying on while the vital and mysterious back stories of many characters are unravelling too. Its one of the best Xianxia dramas I have ever watched.
Bai Shuo is not just a gorgeous beauty but super brains too incredibly smart, bold, brave and truly committed to her promises and personal goals. She is feisty and sassy yet an adorable cutie too. She is very adaptable to disastrous changes in her life due to events caused by fate and/ or by design (villians causing chaos for their personal agendas). She is taking all the challenges head on, finding ways to make a difference, learning life lessons and pursuing her goals proactively. She has solid backstory including her childhood, relationships, and significant life events.
FY is very attractive, knowledgable, clever, mysterious and powerful demon king. He gives off heartless and merciless persona in the beginning but as the story progresses we see his heart melting and character changing due to interactions with the FL. He seems to have many secrets due to some very painful and impactful past. He seems to be pursuing incredibly important goal too. At times he seems morally grey, but then he has reasons for his actions which are slowly revealed. Later we learn that FY is very kind, smart, softhearted and a just king. His very sad past has influence on his current actions.
The chemistry between both main couple is very smooth and electrifying. The development of love between them is slow but for sure. The slow burn romance to me is very hot! Because its the type of romance where the relationship between characters develops gradually over time, building tension and anticipation, often starting from friendship or mild annoyance and gradually growing into something deeper and sweeter, with the focus on subtle moments and emotional depth rather than bland immediate attraction or grand gestures. There is complexity in their relationship which arises from them belonging to different races and how they started out and their mysterious signficant intertwined past. Both BS's and FY's character develop beautifully side by side. They learn to trust and rely on each other. Share their secrets and thier past stories. Then they provided care and support for each other in their dark and difficult times. Their love evolved to the level of being selfless and ready to sacrifice themselves for each other. Throughout their journey of collecting contemplations they learned many valuable lessons and become stronger in every aspect . They face many trials and tragedies and learn to cope with them and solve many mysteries and overcome challenges together.
The story of FL and CZ is very intriguing, engaging and mysterious as well. CZ learned to let go of BS and developed very beautiful true selfless love for FL. FL got to have chance break out of evil demon's hold on her and reunite with her sister. Both of them needed a lot of courage and internal strength to give themselves chance to turn good after manipulated into doing evil. They both felt deep remorse for their past wrong actions and did not hesitate to use their lives to stop evil and protect people. All characters are dynamic, they are contributing very well to move the story, provide powerful insights and successfully tickling our curiosity. All of character's efforts and sacrifices bring peace, justice, equality, stability and happiness to the chaos ridden different races of the world.
As expected Bai Lu has delivered very powerful, immaculate, impeccable, engaging and mesmerising acting. ARP is incredibly adaptable actor. Like BL he has slayed many different kinds of roles. Other actors are portraying their characters smoothly as well- bringing the characters emotions, aims, qualities and their attributes to light.
The OSTs, CGI and FX is mind blowing. They are placed appropriately in the drama suitable to the needs of the events. The costumes are incredibly well thought out, captivating, mesmerisingly beautiful and simply magnificent. The sets and the environments shows a lot of effort put in to anhance its suitability, usefulness and impact to the related scenes. The pacing of the drama is appropriate to story needs, its neither too fast nor too slow.
Overall I've absolutely loved it! I hope people watching it give this enchanting and captivating drama a fair chance and watch it till the end. Its definitely worth the watch!
