A drama that will never leave your mind.
I thought I knew what I was signing up for when I first started this drama. I had never been so wrong.
I had heard countless of reviews and recommendations for this drama and since I was having a hard time moving on from LGIEF, I had decided to give this one a shot after having put this off for so long since I heard about the ending. I thought I had prepared myself mentally enough to face the ending when I reached it but I still cried like a baby when I got there.
The story itself is something I had never seen before and it leaves a lot of hints at the beginning of the drama that you would never understand until you reach the ending and realize just how everything was so well planned and thought out. The two main leads are also so breathtaking in terms of visuals and also acting. Luo Yunxi played Tantai Jin so well and it had my heart physically ache for him while Bai Lu was so ethereal as Ye Xiwu that although I know I should be a little mad at her for always misunderstanding Tantai Jin, I just can’t blame her at all.
I did find the Dream Arc to be quite stretched out and I feel like it could’ve been 3-4 episodes instead and it almost made me lose interest and drop the drama. Thankfully I decided to push through with it and I’m truly glad I did because in the end, I ended up really caring for both Ming Ye and Sangjiu and really rooting for them. Still could’ve been shorter though which is why I deducted a point in the story rating. As for rewatch value, although I did love the drama , I don’t think I can put myself through that pain again HAHAHA but who knows maybe in the future I might just because I love them both.
The OSTS are also beautifully made and really fit the drama and scenes in which it were used. It really elevated the drama to another level and it is still saved in my playlist. Kudos to Luo Yunxi and Bailu! They were amazing and the VFX effects were also spot on. I had finished the drama during January of 2025 and I still haven’t moved on from them even though months have already passed.
