A heartwarming, adventurous story with the perfect amount of romance!
Having watched TTEOM before, I wasn't really expecting this story to hit me so hard. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS DRAMA.
Reasons why I would rate this a solid 10/10:
1. FAN YUE!!! I wasn't expecting his character to be so different from the usual 'demons' and 'grey leads' of dramas of this genre. He's not born to be a demon king, he fought for his position to become powerful and seek revenge. He has not given up his compassion to sound badass and powerful. He's compassionate, caring, and loving along with being powerful. *MUUUAHHHH*
2. The story is very engaging. Every episode had a different story to tell, every mission made sense and all the cameo roles were so nicely used. Love how they connected dots throughout the drama.
3. THE CHEMISTRY!!!! I don't have words to describe how much I love the chemistry between all the couples. I genuinelyyyyyyy hope they are paired again in different dramas!
4. Platonic ships are not weak. All the platonic ships made sure I was crying throughout the show. Love how they focused on the platonic ships for both Bai Shuo and Fan Yue and didn't restrict it to just Bai Shuo's family.
5. There's a lot of trauma, heartbreak and death here but they are essential to the plot. It doesn't feel like the writers killed everyone for fun.
6. Acting!! I LOVE YOU ARP!!! And ofc, Bailu is a star in all her dramas. (but sorry bailu, i love ARP more here ;-))
7. VFX is amazing. Doesn't seem heavy on the eyes. In fact, adds up to the cinematography and aesthetics of the drama.
8. Great costumes and styling. Beware of falling in love with the lovely faces!
Points where i feel the drama is low:
1. Hate the sets. Especially the Unbridled Pavilion.
