Why did I not watch this sooner?!!
WHAT I LIKE-
Everything about this drama is amazing. Writing, Casting, acting, visual effects, martial arts, superpowers, friendships, suspense, comedy.
What more can someone want to watch? It is truly a remarkable drama with no flaws. Though I haven't watched the anime or read the Manhwa.
The way this series integrates modern technology, humour, ancient fantasy themes, fashion, serious talks and fights is amazing.
Every character is great but I want to review my favourites-
Wang Ye-
I don't know why but I love these kinds of characters. Lazy but super smart like Shikamaru from Naruto. He got the power of one of the eight Supremes very smartly. He was strong-minded. And learning that technique he knew he would have so much responsibility but he never ran and never became greedy. He accepted what was given to him. He wanted Chulan to never discover the truth but also gave him the freedom to choose. His friendships with Baobao, Chulan and Zhuge Qing are so pure even if he knew Qing had ulterior motives to approach him but never said anything. Wang Ye’s character was meant for Neo Hou. For me, I can't see anyone playing this character better than him.
Feng Baobao-
What a cutie she is. I just fell in love with this character. How amazing it would be if I had a friend like her. So innocent and pure cannot even lie. You have to be patient to know the stories of the characters. They will show you bit by bit. Her story for me was so touching. I felt so bad for her when I came to know about the memories and other stuff. The way she didn't move and got shot by the arrow because Chulan told her to stand there. No words will be enough for this character. It’s like I have got attached to this character now and whatever wrong comes to her it affects my emotions.
Zhang Chulan-
He is smart and cunning. In the beginning, he might seem stupid but that is just a mask he wears to fool people. I wanted to see more of his powers but I think his true powers will come in upcoming seasons. He collects friends like Pokemon. Another favourite character of mine. The comedic timing is so good. His chemistry with Baobao is so good from being a slave to being her protector. He came a long way. The journey is beautiful.
Liang-
Villains are not born they are made. Lyu Liang’s grandfather's greed made his whole clan like that. They deserved everything that happened to them. His grandfather was a horrible person and his older brother was as well. Just because he knew the secret of Double Quan Palm technique he cut off his limbs. I mean how can a family do that? The techniques they were using were someone else’s to begin with. I felt so bad for Liang.
Chief Celestial Taoist-
Why is he so cute? His red sneakers have become a statement. The way he took revenge for his best friend( Master Tian) is so good to watch. I never expected that he would actually kill Gong Qing. And his powers and fights were amazing. Just watch the series.
Fights which I liked-
1. ZGQ vs WY: As I mentioned earlier Wang Ye is smart and the actual powers of his eight Supremes came to light in this fight. He just wanted to stop Chulan and for that, he had to win Zhuge Qing. If ZGQ was fighting any other person he could easily win because he is powerful on his own. The way things turned out in this match was unexpected.
2. Chulan and Baobao- There was nothing but everything in this match. Pure comedy and friendship. I laughed so hard in this episode.
3. Chulan and Lingyu- To lingyu the fight was to win because he couldn’t accept the fact that he could not use yang energy but to Chulan it was the way to the truth for him and Baobao. Most people think it is unfair to lingyu that his master drugged him(though I think he lied so that Lingyu wouldn’t take the failure to heart)but in fact, he did that to help him. He has been practicing all his life while Chulan only came out to the outside world a month ago. And remind you the power is still sealed and despite that he won is amazing. Because of him, Lingyu has finally accepted his yin energy and basically his true self which he was too ashamed to accept.
You have to keep watching it to understand everything. I was amazed at how things came to light little by little. We can only put theories while watching episodes but the real thing will be far from expected. This drama was full of twists, the twists which only made sense when the series ended. Little pieces made the truth so unexpected.
WHAT I DON’T LIKE-
Nothing. Everything about this drama is perfect. Just go for it.
