warm from beginning to end
This started off fine, funny and endearing. But as the episodes went on I realized… there are 40 episodes and nothing is happening anymore! Not plot wise, not relationship wise… nothing. They just dragged on for a subpar ending that was literally spoiled in every episode(but most of us skipped through it 99% of the time).
The only refreshing thing about this is that the villains are truly villains, they don’t make us have pity or understand their reasons because they are so pitiful. No, they are all pure evil. And the good immortals are truly trying their best to uphold to goodness. Different from most dramas I’ve watched, it’s not most immortals that are bad and awful while demons are good and pitiful(which I find really annoying). Nope, immortals really try to be good or at least not mind demons. As I’ve stated in other reviews, immortals and demons are just humans with super powers and I really despise how they try to be prejudiced against demons, as they are ALL mostly morally gray, not even black or white. It’s a worldview that the writers try to push down our throat, as if heaven and demon are opposites when in reality they are all the same in Chinese culture, as both can have good and bad people. So I really found it a breath of fresh air to see immortals not being hateful people, just normal people with powers (as demons are too). Of course, apart from the villains.
All in all, even with this refreshing view, it’s not worth a rewatch. There are too many fillers and dragging on for my taste, for an awful ending. It’s not sad ending, just awful.
