YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS DRAMA OKAY!!!!
This was the first historical fantasy drama I watched and lord it did not disappoint...It starts off a bit slow but when it picks up it just grips you that you find yourself clicking the next episode even when you know you have work the next day. The love story is amazing...No other words. Female lead brilliant..her acting was amazing and I love dramas like these where females are strong and can stick up for themselves so seeing Bai Qian doing her thing was just beautiful *chef kiss* Please watch this drama..espesically if you're new to the genre this is the perfect one to start off with you definitely won't regret it!ps...you probably will cry sometimes and get frustrated with the characters sometimes but its worth it..watch it!

This show is split into 3 sections (chronological): Immortal Realm(immature characters), Mortal Realm, Immoral Realm(matured characters)
The characters really develop as you watch this drama all throughout as they start out as young and immature to logical and mature as the characters go through many conflicts through the story which changes them emotionally.

Nice dramaaa
Honestly I love the visuals, effects, and hair style of Yang Mi more than the story itself ahahaha. I mean, the story is good, but then I have watched better dramas or known stories that will rip your heart more so yeah (BL stories). Also, I ship Bai Qian and Mo Yuan more than Ye Hua because I think Mo Yuan is more capable of protecting amd more matured. Plus his personality is cute wahahha. Shy type. (respect)Everyone did a good job though. Love all of them.
Another strong point of this drama is that Side stories dont overcome the main story while at the same time, the side story is anticipating to watch.
Music was very pleasing to the ears.
Totally worth watching.

I just finished the drama today, and I really wanted to cry at some parts but couldn't cause I was in public, but oh my. This drama had me enthralled to say the least. The only thing that made me a tad bit angry is the amount of times Bai Qian lost her memory. I mean the second time was on purpose, sure, but still. I'm glad things went well in the end, but I still would've like to see their second wedding. And have another kid, other than A-Li. My favorite character has to be A-Li, for the reason that, even though he never met his mother until 300 years after his birth, he still had love for her. He knew that Bai Qian and Ye Hua would be together again, he never lost hope. God, this kid is the best though. The episode where he meets her, and he agrees for her to go back to Heaven with them, before she even answers. A-Li is definitely Bai Qian and Ye Hua's kid, no doubt.

Awesome Storyline!
My mum had been watching a bit before I did and I was getting a little bored of her pausing every so often to read the subtitles, as I can read faster I decided to watch myself on my own. Hooked is not even the best word to describe it, love the acting and the storylines! Also it’s so much different to the storylines of UK dramas in a much deeper way, to be honest I’ve not watched this much TV in a long time, highly recommend and a huge thumbs up to all involved in making this immersive and wonderful show!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
TMOPB, is a slow paced drama. Granted that the source material wasn't long to begin with. But the story-telling and how they developed the characters was great.
Pros:
1. The acting is superb. I know a lot does not think that long-haired Mark Chao is appealing or gorgeous enough like Vin Zhang or Vengo Gao but believe me when I say that his amazing portrayal of Ye Hua is so sincere and charismatic, it's impossible not to love him by the end of the drama.
2. Yang Mi. Not just a pretty face but a badass lead as well.
3. You'll love Ali you'd wish there was more of him.
4. Deities and costumes and the setting. Brilliant!
5. Music-wise, it was on point enough to make you feels things on cue.
Cons:
1. Mo Yuan (Not really a con, per se, but I was torn and you get the point)
2. All the side ships. PS. Don't get too attached or invested.
3. The ending. (They did have a happy ending but after all that epic tribulation they went through, I wanted more than seeing them gazing through the horizon.)
4. I still cannot forgive that last costume from Ye Hua. I mean he was so on point all through out the series! What is with that god-awful ensemble in the end?
5. Amnesia-plots really irk me. I dont know why.
Overall, there isn't much to dislike on the series. It was a great experience for me.

This will always be in my top 10 favorites
I’ve watched hundreds of dramas including Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, and Korean dramas. Despite watching so many Asian dramas this is still in my top ten favorites. It’s an amazing show well worth watching.This is a melodrama with a little bit of everything. There’s an epic romance, great comedy, political intrigue, warring gods, and excellent fighting scenes. The cinematography is really good. And I like that the female lead is a badass that can hold her own. It’s refreshing to see a female lead that’s not only strong and confident but super clever too. She single handedly defeats a very powerful god that few others could fight. And the male lead is one of my all time favorite male leads. He’s handsome, powerful, unselfish, and extremely loyal. This drama has a fair amount of angst but the sweetness of the romance, the depth of the story, the phenomenal acting, and the beautiful ending that ties up all the loose ends make it all worth it.
The love story of the main leads is what really drives this drama. I love that the male lead never waivers in his feelings for the female lead and will do anything for her. He never, even for a minute, gives up on her and is very open with his affection. I love how he tossed her over his shoulder and took her to their room when his strength and virility is questioned. And the numerous kisses are swoon worthy. There’s lots of skinship and sweet romantic moments too. Theirs is one of my all time favorite romances.
Another strength of this drama is the really great side characters. From the sweet little boy named Ali who just wants to find his mom, to the mischievous nine tailed fox Feng Jiu who valiantly pursues true love , to the powerful god Mo Yuan and his unrequited love, the side characters have so much depth and growth.
I normally don’t watch really long dramas but this one is so worth it. And I don’t rewatch dramas but I’ve rewatched this one several times. All of the side characters are interesting and there are cute side couples. This drama never has a dull moment. If I had to complain, it would be about the male leads adopted sister and her crazy obsession with him. But honestly, she should win an award for her acting. She really pulls you into her crazy head and does a great job of making you hate her.
Overall I’d say don’t pass this one up. Yes it’s long and yes it’s angsty and melodramatic which is not usually my cup of tea. I don’t like dramas that make me cry or get really upset. I usually prefer light sweet funny romcoms. But this drama is just too good to pass up. I’ll go back and get angry and cry because the romance is so touching and the side characters are so endearing that it’s worth it.

Interesting and enjoyable
The bad sides:As a person who does not like killing people or torturing them no matter what they have done and is against the death sentence - because I believe people are not born evil they are mostly raised in an environment to become one, and we can always at least try to help them if possible and even if we were not able to we are not gods to order a death sentence ( well the irony is that they were gods, haha), I really didn't like the parts having this concept and I would be much more satisfied if they removed especially the first half of episode 55, that was such a pain to watch. And god, the way good and evil are portrayed in such stories, there is no one like that on earth or heaven :D
CGI was not that bad but there were some obvious errors that it was hard not to notice.
One of the strange things in the story was that sometimes they could save someone very easily and sometimes they couldn't. And who on earth would sleep with their hairpins still on? maybe in heaven? :D
The good sides:
I liked the drama overall if the parts I mentioned above are ignored but to be honest I was more invested in the side love stories and not the main couple. Their love, I couldn't feel it for the most part and they were so mean sometimes I could not bear it. I loved Lian Song and Cheng Yu relationship they were so interesting to watch and I wish they had more screen time.
the acting was satisfying. I think Bambi Zhu is a really good actor as I could feel her pain and misery.
At first, I wanted to drop it but I gave it a second chance and it turned out that the second half was much better. There was not much boredom with this drama in my opinion and it was a good watch.
I don't really rewatch any dramas but there are some scenes with Dong Hua and Feng Jiu that I rewatched a few times that were very emotional.

the best drama i have ever seen
Of all the things this drama is very good and perfect, I did not find a single fault or flaw, if possible maybe the flaw is just a small number of episodes. 58 episodes for me was not enough because I still miss Bai Qian and Ye Hua. Oh my God they really are great. The best plays for historical themes.I hope YangMi and Mark Chao have another drama, for all the cast I like it. Their acting is very good.
Bai Qian when she became Su Su could be a woman who really needs Ye Hua but when she became the Fox Queen she turned into a strong woman and was not afraid of anything

If i have to compare the cinematography of this one vs Ashes of Love, i would prefer the latter. But considering AOL was release 2018 and TMOPB was 2017, it's understanble. Some of the scenes really made it obvious that they are using green screen. Every xianxia use heavy effects anyway but here it was just not that polish. But setting that aside, the story telling of each scenery is perfect.
I never really watched any Yang Mi or Mark Chao dramas so I can't really tell if she excel here or she is better in her other roles, but all I can say is, she is very good portraying Siyi/Susu/BaiQian here. She gave each character their own personality. She is effective to me although it didn't give much effect how Yang Zi did it for AOL. Mark Chao's poker and minimal facial expressions threw me off at first but i grew out of it later on the drama. That is just his character anyway. I read other reviews and they said YangMi is always paired to just and average guy but Mark Chao has his own charisma and his chemistry with YangMi here is good.
Aside from this two, Dilraba Dilmurat and Vengo Gao are one of the couples you need to look out for. Their love story is so tragic, you would want to have their own. Which gladly Pillow Book will be release soon and it's all about their story. I won't give mucb spoilers, but this couple is like a diamond in the mud. They will surprise you.
Music scoring of this drama is also rrally beautiful. I have it always on repeat on spotify cause i just cant get over it. Zhang Bichen did one of the ost and if you've watched Love O2O you will be familiar with her.
If i have to choose between AOL or TMOPB, they are both beautiful and have a really good story line. Both have different flavors. Each episodes TMOPB has a connection. Each of it you don't want to miss because there is a reason for everything. AOL also had a very happy ending and all is well in the end.
Dilraba and Vengo's love stort is so tragic you really need to look forward for Pillow Book. I just find this funny cause it looks like this drama is filled of Yang Mi or Jaywalk Studio actors.
Otherwise, this xianxia is worth it. 10/10
