I had so much fun watching this one!
For me personally, beautiful visuals, cinematography, color grading, styling, CGI, makeup, and decorations, are really important in a drama, and this one completely delivered. Everything in that regard was on point, making it such a pleasure to watch. The overall atmosphere was amazing; you could sense the supernatural elements just from the way colors were used. I especially loved the contrast between Demon City and Chang’an. The costume styling was also fantastic, particularly for the demons, where you could almost guess what kind of demon they were just by their look. The set decorations paired so well with the clothing, and the camera angles added a lot to the experience.
Even if the story hadn’t been good, I would have given this an average rating just for the visuals alone, but luckily, the story was pretty solid too! I actually started this drama for the “demon female lead” tag, and it delivered exactly what I wanted. Tian Xi Wei was amazing, her cat mannerisms were so well done, and her role as Wuzhen, the Cat Lord, is probably my favorite from her now. The cat itself was adorable, and the CGI for the animals overall was impressive.
This was my first time seeing Wang Jia Yi, and she was fantastic. She really captured the on-screen charisma a Snake Lord should have, balancing strength and emotion perfectly. Her sharp, striking eyes made her performance even more memorable. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for her upcoming projects.
The male lead, Mei Zhu, was also good, but I honestly felt the female characters were the true stars of the show. Mei Si was unexpectedly one of my favorites, his goofy character was so much fun. I also liked the other side characters, and each demon’s story was interesting. My personal favorite was the Camellia Tree Demon and the Princess story, it was so beautiful and touching.
The romance is definitely not the strongest aspect of this show, could've been better, but I wouldn't call it bad. Both couples still had adorable and hot scenes together.
Overall, despite the rushed ending, this was absolutely a worthy watch.
