OH...XU KAI BUT WHY??
I understand that actors want try on something different characters, oh but why? Nothing good at all come out of it, the story line is too vague, acting is bad, fake flash visual effect, I finally dropped this. People say don't comment anything if nothing good to say, in my opinion this is the thing the production team should know about, take it as improve criticism . Xu Kai is out of character, his cute face wasn't for thousands years old God in cultivation, he's more like Shang Shu Mu (his character in Court Lady). The FL was frankly 'miscast' - she wasn't suitable for the role, her acting so so, her character isn't memorable - annoying. Too much visual effect that spoiling the actual skill of the actors....and the other guy Tian Qi sounded like Zhao Zhou Xu's dubbing voice over (WOH) it's pretty special voice - very recognizable dubbing voice over now after WOH... Ep 5 and I've already bored. First episode is always important to catch audience's interest, start with something catching will usually end dramas in a good note, and this drama lack of it.I just realized what's wrong with Xu Kai? His freaking bad job 'Hairdo', the hairline was wrong 'unnatural', the hair fashion wasn't suitable for his face. Whoever the hair stylist didn't do a good job, the stylist ruined Xu Kai's best feature.
The best part is the OST by Mao BuYi (Title: Age), Charlie ShenZhou (Title: Ju Lian), Liu Yu Ning (Title: GanYing). 3 best singers delivered the songs with deeply emotion, perfect tones, and amazing music.

TRASH
What a blunder!! Such a waste of talent, effort, money, and time. A big name like Dylan Wang end up in a rubbish role with no talent FL...will not get me further than 5 episodes. As hard as I try to go through 4 episodes...this one here definitely waste of my time. Dylan Wang didn't perform as a talented, gifted, handsome actor that everyone was talking about. They did him an awful makeup, his white hair didn't compliment him, with open button outfit he's more like a sloppy man tried to be sexy. Ok, I don't pass their first encounter (than 3 lifetimes) the maid FL lives more glamorously than average noble lady or us working girls in the modern day, she didn't do work as any maid would - she just hangout with the snake - obviously she wasn't a good worker (maid). Well, He obviously picked the wrong role and pay the price being trashed as the worst...it's really bad when he has to lift up to his reputation. 1000 years old dragon prince can't express his feeling to a mortal because his 'cold blood' dragoness - nobody would surely say that Dylan Wang should act as expressionless human-form dragon because we won't ever know how dragon can promise a marriage to a woman. It gets more ridiculous as the episode progress...Heard the comic version is much better than this drama....well, this adaptation is apparently misinterpreted.Was this review helpful to you?
Headpiece Wang YiBo
I couldn't stray my sight from Wang YiBo headpiece, it's ridiculous period. On the other hand, Xiao Zhan was a beautiful and happy cheerful man. I love this guy...he's a great talented actor....a charmer...kind and I can name every good things about him and just focusing on him instead. I am not into 'chasing super natural' story line or 'school (class set up)'...Wang Yi Bo character wasn't that outstanding so far - he spoke little to nothing while Xiao Zhan did a lot of running (metaphorically) so I was kind of disappointed with Yi Bo. I am not into this line of story but I heard good things about the drama and yet still don't understand why this drama so famous and Yi Bo was getting much credits which in my opinion he's not as good as Xiao Zhan. I haven't have the power to rewatch it...not as memorable as I thought it would be so I let it off on ep 18 but will try it again for Xiao Zhan...lol.I couldn't finish the drama with reason like 1) too late watching it (2022) 2) don't like Wang YiBo who barely talked and especially the head piece 3) not my favorite of genre (super natural) and school set up 4) couldn't bring myself finish it as many other newer more interesting dramas out. So, I dropped it. Might not a popular opinion but...Xiao Zhan is indeed the best.

POOR LIU XUE YI
I felt bad for Liu Xue Yi, a talented handsome actor has to endure partnering with a new actress Hu Yi Xuan (camellia demon Hong Ning) not just bad in acting, annoying childish voice, not to mention weird hair styles. Who did her make up and hair-styling? Very sloppy, doesn't compliment her, she appears between wild nymphs and gnomes. Long wavy frizzy hair, big flat nose, raspy bang, oversize red dress. I don't who should get fired first; the actress or the hair dresser? When they met again, bound by love, trials and destiny....I am choking. It's too much a stretch.I think the only person to take good look at is Liu Xue Yi.
His character though as a reserved immortal is that kind of boring. I don't think he's looking to the FL and think 'I love this demon wholeheartedly and want to spend my immortal life with her'.....because his eyes doesn't express it. His eyes is like saying 'let's get this over with' I know I can't read his mind...but that's the expression I got.
Other actors are barely has acting skills...as far as I watch the drama. Wouldn't recommend this drama to anyone. Need to change the title to "this love should have failed". Safe your valuable time for something else better...
