Finally a 'Star-crossed lovers' story with an ending I can accept!
It was purely by chance I stumbled on this drama, when I recognised WYL from IAN, I immediately got interested, as I never have seen her in Xianxia drama before.
I absolutely loved this terrific and remarkable masterpiece. AC's and WYL's acting was impeccable, stunning and superb. The plot was a rare gem and perfectly executed and brought to life by fantastic acting, breath taking costumes/makeup, top-tier settings and smashing CGI. I have always loved WYL's as Bao Bao in IAN s1 and IAN s2. She is incredibly cute, gorgeous, confident and talented actress. I'm very happy for her to be doing really well in this drama and getting even more versatile roles in new dramas. It's first time I have watched AC's drama. His acting skills have highly impressed and captivated me. His majestic, charismatic, stellar and bold presence in drama made him one of my favorite top actors.
SJ , 500 years old incredibly powerful immortal grandmaster, feared by all yet used and abused by greedy and evil people too, making him tired, lonely, suspicious, cold-hearted and vengeful towards everyone. But when touched by LTY's never changing sweetness, purity, compassion, kindness, care and trustworthyness and influenced by her zeal and desire to have peaceful, restful and joyful time, she changed him into a green forest who fiercely and whole heartedly loved and protected her. He gave up his heartless and cruel ways of achieving his goals and learned to care for others and show mercy for LTY's sake. Her love became the guiding light he was missing in his life. Every action, plan, glance or touch of his showed how deeply he loved her and cared for her. He was strongest yet most gentle to her in every aspect. He showed love in most beautiful ways. He always made sure to be sensitive to her feelings and decisions even when he made sacrifices for her to protect her.
This drama stole my heart because there were no endless misunderstandings and the mistrust issues were very quickly and cleverly solved by smart, thoughtful, and wise FL and ML in any situation and in any world. Both main lead had incredibly high EI( emotional intelligence) that was very refreshing, I'm so thankful that absurd amount of frustration didn't built between the main leads. Their romance was remarkable pure, deep and most important of all - very healthy. The intimacy and chemistry between them was top-notch. They made my heart flutter from beginning to the end and very rarely dramas are able to pull that off. I never got bored of their playfulness, push and pull and attraction towards each other. SJ's love wasn't possessive it was deep, pure, selfless and prophecy changing. His destiny changed from being 'the destroyer of world'to 'the lord of mercy' with LTY's influence and love.
LTY is the heart of this drama, she is the sweetest, very conpassionate and effortlessly funny (she retained her gen z aura through out the drama). It was ironic that the drama started out with SJ being a heartless immortal and LTY being most sweetest and harmless demon. The title of this drama gave me impresstion that the crule ml will be the demon lord but I loved the impressive twist by the end of the drama. What made me love her so much is her significant yet gradual character development was very beautifully executed. Even though she became demon ruler of immortal and demon world, she never lost her trueself, she remained thoughtful, witty, brave, resilient, compassionate and most importantly bubbly even though she had to go through many painful trials and unexpected situations. She bounced back in every cruel situation she was put in. She portrayed all the emotions very well, made me laugh with her silliness and moved me to tears with her pain and sorrow.
Her gentleness, care, love and inner light not only changed SJ it also inspired and reformed many people around her to abandon greed, blind love for power and fix their mistrust issues and be better versions of themselves. Other support actors and actresses portrayed their characters fantastically well. Their stunning acting and unique roles made the drama very intriguing and attractive. HNJ, the snake is one of my most favorite supporting characters.
The plot in this drama works very closely with 'star- crossed lovers' theme; the main leads' relationship was doomed by fate, circumstance, or an external force, preventing them from achieving a happy ending in many lifetimes. Also, their relationship is challenged by outside forces, such as feuding races, differing societal backgrounds, or tragic events. Their love was extremely intense and passionate, partly because they know the odds are stacked against them. However, the plot is unique due to SJ defies their ill fate and goes as far as to plot and scheme to ensure he reunites with his lover in the modern world. So, their love and longing for each other is strong enough to break the star-crossed lovers curse.
I have been pleasantly surprised by the way leads perfectly portrayed love so realisticly and naturally. Together they have created most heart warming, touching, emotional, magical, romantic and unforgettable xianxia ever for me.
I mostly give reviews only for dramas I have really enjoyed and got fairly impressed with. These days I have been lazy and have been giving suitable ratings only, however this drama has compelled me to write one immediately with its shere brilliance and undeniably stunning and fanciful execution of the story. I simply could not get enough of the main leads extraordinary, shining, captivating, charming and alluring chemistry. I really need them in a new modern drama. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this drama and recommend it to anyone who loves romance, comedy and wuxia dramas.
