From bad boy to predestined evil child to remorseful yet selfish good guy
Do you guys also feel like you've lived half of a lifetime after finishing a Xianxia? There's always so much happening over such a long time that I hardly remember certain details from the beginning when I reach the last quarter. I definitely felt that way with this one.
So, here are my thoughts about this gem~
The synopsis sounded quite good and when I started this one I just hoped that it wouldn't disappoint me. I was worried, because the introduction of the FL felt weird. Weird as in "not likeable". But thank god, it didn't turn out like that at all. She was actually likeable, even more so her reincarnation, while I liked the ML right from the beginning. Esp. his hair, lol. Man, I was overwhelmed when it turned white the first time (I'm getting weak over white hair these days... they manage to make it look amazing in these newer Xianxias).
But for real, I enjoyed the character's development alot. Starting from bad boy to predestined evil child to remorseful yet selfish good guy. The actor performed that transition quite impressively, and every time a turning point occured, I got goosebumps because he delivered so well.
As for the main actress, it's funny... or let's say astonishing how well she managed to display two somewhat different characters despite having the same facial expressions. As I already said I liked the reincarnated disciple version even more than the master's one. And I totally enjoyed the reversed roles between ML and FL.
Though this one got 40 episodes, I got fully rewarded with lots of sweet and fun and exciting interactions between the main couple, lots of adventures they experience, lots of lovely sceneries, impressive fighting scenes, stunning CGI, beautiful costumes and interesting (though quite long) side stories of the supporting cast. I was especially impressed with the Crown Prince's story and development. Having just watched the actor in "Feud", he now demonstrated such a complex character and showed even more what he's capable of than in "Feud". I wouldn't mind seeing him as a ML in another Xianxia.
I'm also glad that they didn't make the sects' elders as annoying as I've seen it in other shows.
The music seems to be the only "complaint" if I would even call it that. It was so so, nothing you would call long lasting.
Nevertheless I can highly recommend this Xianxia to anyone who looks for something with many episodes, a bunch of likeable characters, long-lasting character development, a fun couple, really good acting and well made cinematography.
