I don't know I like Cultivation genre until The Immortal Ascension happened
I went as a blank slate to watch the drama, it totally gripped in tight hands with first 3 episodes. It was a like a small movie with mild horror theme. The next episodes are hilarious, emotional, full pack action. I felt they served everything here😂one thing is as you know Yang Yang will have major screentime as main lead Han Li, as we follow his journey in cultivation. He would throw off the people who were prejudice of him before, he played that good here as Han Li.
It's not like since you are cultivating, there should be no emotions. The first 10 episodes itself served a good emotional line between Han Li and everyone. Whether the betrayal of Master Mo, the friendship between him and Zhang Tie, him & Li Feiyu, totally touched by Mo caihuan's love for him but still firm in cultivation, the happiness in getting accepted to Huangfeng Valley, etc etc. I think Han Li is someone who doesn't step forward if there is no 100% chance for him to win. Cautious, calculating and humble. Actually most characters in the drama aside from him are strong, they didn’t weaken anyone just to show han li is the strongest of all. He just trys hard, if he can't fight he will run away lol.

A refreshing drama
Each characters are fleshed out, each one has its own story, emotions & conflicts. I really love that they are not just NPC.Reading some reviews here makes me so disappointed about the viewers judging based on 2 eps. In ep 14 & 15, it was shown clearly on why Zhan Zhao wants to deal conflicts through law and order. He should be the original Yaksha himself who killed many for justice, but later many used the name "Yaksha" to do evil deeds. Just one more ep would have given the details but many rating it low here just coz they want every role to be daring, act without consequences & kill immediately. Isn't it more enjoyable to read conflicts on one’s inner struggle on wanting to kill the bad people but restraining oneself so they can bring justice through law and show it to the whole world by clearing the innocent people's names. Yang Yang did a great job as zhan zhao.
