The best Xianxia/Xianhuan drama !!!
I’ve watched countless xianxia/xianhuan dramas and this one is definitely the best. This drama is very different from all the other c-dramas out there. Most xianxia dramas are about god/demon races, master-disciple, mortal-immortal, demon-mortal and contains too much misunderstandings, miscommunications and filler plots but this one is just different.
[Plot Summary]- He Simu is a 400 yr old sovereign of spirits who lacks the five senses. Duan Xu is the general of the Tabai Army and he is also the Spell Bearer of He Simu (the only mortal who can exchange the five senses with her). And there are two worlds: guixu (the void/ghost realm) and the mortal world (human realm). He Simu belongs in guixu while Duan Xu belongs in mortal world which are two different realms yet they later fell in love after spending time.
Actually there’s so much more to it then just “falling in love” but this drama is quite different and complicated so I can’t mention the interesting parts since it would be spoiling. I love how the relation between the fl and ml is just pure love; no miscommunications and breakups. Both the fl and ml love and yearn for each other deeply. Also the dynamics between some side characters and the leads were very wholesome. There are some annoying characters but they made the story more interesting. There is a second ml but there isn’t any love triangle because the second ml stands no chance against the ml loll. The actors/actresses delivered such an outstanding Oscar worthy performance especially the fl. The emotions were depicted well not only physically but you could also feel the emotions in their voices. Im not sure about the side characters but Dilraba and Feiyu both dubbed for their own characters with their original voices.
Dilraba did so well as He Simu and I can’t imagine anyone as playing her. The subtle changes in expressions are too good and her versatility needs to be studied. She played two roles: He Xiaoxiao and He Simu. He Xiaoxiao is her in the mortal realm; an extremely beautiful young lady who’s innocent and pure but her cunning-ess is hidden below the mask. He Simu is her in the void world; the most powerful sovereign of spirits in all past generations and is extremely terrifying and brutal. You could clearly see the difference between He Xiaoxiao and He Simu. She was much softer and nicer in the mortal realm and more witchy and eery in the void world; even the costume and makeup style changes. Now let’s get to our ml. Chen Feiyu absolutely did justice to his character as a young general of the Tabai Army. He was absolutely ruthless and brutal in wars but was such a golden retriever when he’s the fl. The war fighting scenes were absolutely insane; especially in ep 8. I love how Chen Feiyu isn’t just there to serve face and goes to war with 10lbs of makeup. He was all bloody and looked pale with those killer eyes when fighting in war. I love how the is drama didn’t just focus on the visuals and feed on cp nachos and actually focuses on the plot, war, acting, etc all aspects. And also praises should be gone to the actors and actresses as well because they devoured their roles. Also the chemistry between the leads>>> Some people mistakes chemistry as making out and fawking but nahh. I love the chemistry between the main leads are subtle yet so visible; especially the scenes after they first exchanged the five senses. They were so cute and their eyes were filled with love and yearning. Duan Xu is such a green flag. He was willing to give up his life for He Simu’s happiness even if it’s just a fleeting moment.
Okay now let’s talk about the aesthetics. First of all, this might be THE c-drama where all the characters were well-dressed and looks scrumptious. The stylist deserves a raise for the costumes and makeup since it’s the best I’ve ever seen in my whole life. The cgi, green screen, cinematography, intro, outro everything was pure art and well-done. Not a single flaw at all. I love the osts as well. The lyrics were so emotional and represents the character/relation/situation well. Even the soundtracks were insane especially the one that turns on when He Simu is showing her authority as the sovereign of spirits; also the soundtrack that turns on when there’s a war and the citizens and solders were dying. My fav ost is probably Above All Spirits by Huang Xiaoyun; it feels comforting yet somewhat a stab in the heart (you must’ve been through so much pain feeling yk)
Overall, I love everything about this drama including the plot, acting, story, visual vfx, ost, literally everything. I read the novel for this ahead and it’s almost entirely the same until a few of the final episodes. This is my fav xianxia/xianhuan drama or even my fav c drama. Actually, I didn’t have much hopes in this drama because I wasn’t a fan of the leads (I mean I haven’t watch any of Feiyu’s drama and for Reba, I’ve watched Love on the Turquoise Land only, beforehand. However after watching this, I became an absolute fan of all the casts. I binged watched almost all of Reba’s drama like TBH, TLB, ELOAD, TLA, YAMG, etc and for Feiyu, I watched LAP, WDBTD, LSIT90s and for Miles Wei, I watched YAMFL, OFL, TPC, etc and more from the other casts. What Im trying to say is, each and everyone of the casts did so well that I got hooked up with the actors/actresses themselves and not only the characters from this show. Oh and do I have to mention that I dreamed about this drama during my sleep like 4–6 times and I specially created a playlist that reminds me of this drama and listened to it on repeat everyday before I sleep. I am that obsessed with this drama. Im not used to writing reviews and this is only my second or third time writing one so I might’ve added unnecessary informations so this is more of like a yappery and my personal opinion of this drama, sryyy. I really really really really enjoy this drama and I recommend you to watch this. This drama will be forever remembered by me. It’s that special
