I have seen better
I wasn’t planing to watched this, didn’t look interesting to me, but watched it anyway mostly because of the hype and I have an objective of watching as much as cdrama as possible in 2025😂😂
So what I liked :
- Acting was fine
- costumes looked great
- the colouring and cinematography was pretty
- maybe overused, but the ost was good
- like the intro
- great cast
- the different friendships, the bond with ML and TH and ZS
- Fu Lin and CZ : He was annoying at the beginning, classic delulu one sided love SML. She was doing very evil thing. I think the worst for me was probably when she made him kill that guy, that whole scene really. I was like, how can we go back from that. But honestly, her story in the end got me. The actress was really good and her costumes/make up was so beautiful in the later episodes. The only times I almost cried was scenes related to the seconds lead if I remember correctly… I think that was good how they made her be the bow. It was always close to FL all this time and him, falling in love with the weapon meant to kill him. I came to like this couple and their story.
- the side characters and side story we uncounter through the plot
- the best thing about this drama I would say is the romance and relationship between the leads : it developed well and it started relatively early. Pretty healthy and good relationship, which is not often seen in xianxia, I really appreciated that. Good communication, no misunderstanding or breakup. Helping, protecting each other. The proposal scene was beautiful. Just for that, I am gonna give this drama a bit more point. Skinship and kissing scenes was relatively good. They always edit kissing scene less good then are they are in reality in cdramas. Chemistry was average though
- enjoyable characters in general
- think the villain was somehow interesting
Negative point for me :
- don’t think the plot in general was that interesting and somehow boring
- the past was disappointing to me. So what was the point of Xing Yue and Jing Yuang ? Though this was about reincarnation/ falling in love again, reuniting after 60000 years, but in the end, FY is not JY, he was just a normal child that was like possessed by JY for some time, BS is also not XY ?
- didn’t really find either the flashback and XY and JY story interesting
Other random points :
- all the deaths didn’t really bother me, think it also gave some good scenes and moments and some sadness, sacrifice. But still was pretty intense killing everyone off except the leads
- ending was okay to me, the added wedding clip was cute, but just felt like to me dropping a clip, not that satisfying.
- didn’t feel that invested or emotionally attached to the leads. Some drama I can be glued to my screen or giggling because the chemistry is so good to me, or the love story of the leads is so beautiful to me, makes me emotional and feeling their story or I found the plot more engaging or there is something that just catch my intention or stand out (I have some in minds). I don’t know, something or whatever was missing to me, even with the great relationship between the leads
So, definitely not the best cdrama or xianxia I saw, but still a fine watch
