Stubborn disciples are stubborn
I'm so happy because I absolutely love this one. From the first episode it didn't let me down and it was good till the end.
The plot was pretty consistent and engaging, it ties the beginning with the end since the main villain is around from the start but we don't know until later. The drama keep showing us different characters that could be the villain and that makes it really interesting.
Between this "villains" I have to talk about my favorite and another discovery in the actors department from me: Crown Prince Su Yu. He was absolutely unhinged and obssesed with Mu Quingge to an unhealthy point but there was something inside him that could make him different, better. I like how this character developed and how, till the end, we don't know exactly where he stands. A round of applause for Chen Xin Hai because he is absolutely amazing in his performance. Brilliant.
Another great point is that Ranran is powerful and brave all the drama and Shui is very gray all the drama. Different degrees of powerful for Ranran and different degrees of gray for Shui depending the time but it is there. It keeps the essence of the characters from beginning to finish.
The FL, Ranran, is everything a FL should be. I Adore her. Her personality, her power, how brave she is. I was very happy that I still like her after meeting her past life Mu Quingge because they really are two sides of the same coin. Julia Xiang is amazing. What I fantastic actress, I'm super glad to discover her.
The CGI was probably the best I saw in a xianxia but I still didn't watch that much so maybe I'm biased 😅😅😅. There is a lot of visuals effects and are very well done. Specially the final battle is amazing and super good. I really like the customes and wigs too, specially the white one that Shui got at the start.
If I have to say something bad I will say that i didn't need that over the top happy ending, if it will end with them after defeating Dun Tian it will be great too. But I actually appreciate the weddings looks, specially the head piece on Shui was gorgeous and the cute babies at the end were worth it.
Deng wei is good here too, I still feel, acting wise, both Julia Xiang and Chen Xin Hai are better, but he was good. They also have good chemistry.
Highlights for me:
-episode 3: The scene when Mu Quingge lights a path of lanters for Shui. Is a very meaningful and important scene that will be remembered through all the drama. It is very beautiful done.
-episode 18: Drunk Shui kiss Ranran desesperate to get Mu Quingge back. This scene is heartbreaking but amazing in both their performance. So much pain and longing 🥲🥲🥲
-episode 36: Ranran reject Su Yu.Wow this scene. He barely can see and still he is pouring all his heart and soul and obsession onto her. It is absolutely amazing in both their performance but I miss a light touch of her on his face which I think will make it perfect. Still I was in awe watching.
Will I recommend it? Yes, for sure. I think is pretty good and entertaining if you like xianxias.
