Good vs bad and other moral dilemmas
When I started watching I throught I wouldn't like this one too much. Let's be honest, the visuals in this drama are awful. The customes are simple going on ugly and the wigs (specially the one on the ML when is not tied up) are hideous.
But they deliver a very interesting story: More philosophical than other dramas I watched, it talks about the good and bad in this world. There is a clear parallel between our hero and the villain, both living the same experiences but reacting to it in a different way.
Youngzhong wanted to be good and Jin Tanjin help him to see that good. Hannv, the villain, didn't really wanted to do good and not even Taihe, a God, could get through her.
I really like the idea of the five sins described in the drama: Hypocrisy, obsession, cruelty, jealousy and ignorance.
No one in this world could really avoid all this sins so we are left trying to do our best. Youngzhong keeps trying even when at points I feel he was right in his idea of destroying the world (everyone is so awful to him, they really don't deserve him)
the fights in the last episodes were pretty good and the end was very appropriate also. They avoid the happy ending just for the sake of it and we got a more realistic one.
But there is also a lack of balance. Tanghua and Quin Lin barely have any development but, the little we saw, gave us a hint of pretty interesting stories (specially Quin Lin and his brother, there was so much you could say there).
The spirit weapons that were so important during basically all the drama were completely discarded at the end. I guess this makes sense because they weren't actually human beings but still, after everything, you get attached to them and is a complicated change of pace. I also don't particularly like that the only spirit weapon that we didn't get to meet at all was the female one 🙄🙄🙄🙄.
would I recommend it? I don't know 😅😅😅. The story is good but is lacking something.
