A MUST watch for xanxia lovers!
A well produced drama that made the fantasy believable with great sets, fantastic cgi, good wire work, fantastic costumes, a decent story and a lovely couple to drool over & tug at your heart strings.
When most of the elements are well done, it’s easy to overlook any minor logic or pacing issues. So easy to let yourself believe in all these super powers when the cgi looks fantastic. Makes it hard to watch older xanxias when the technology was less advanced.
Most of the costumes were a feast for the eyes and really spoke to me as this is one of my favourite parts of these types of dramas. Seeing the beautiful flowing fabric in different layers and colours when they walked, flew through the sky and even fought was breathtaking. And I even liked the non-flowy costumes as the attention to detail was beautiful especially the Crown Prince’s gold & black costume.
Didn’t really enjoy the story behind the FL’s sister after she joined hands with the villian. Can’t belief how she was able to keep getting the various sects to trust her despite all the proof that she was up to no good. Then out of the blue, she is shown to have feelings for someone who sacrifices himself for her…
I loved seeing the ML’s diverse range of expressions & mannerisms. So different from his character in Lost You Forever which made it even more memorable. The FL’s different lighthearted persona as the master and later as a disciple was a treat as I have never seen this actress before.
If you’re into xanxia, you MUST watch this.
