Deep calling into the deep: Powerful production with strongly influential effect

This work will meet you at the level of your knowledge and understanding of creation, kingdoms, both visible and invisible realms and may (if you allow) bring a deep message.

This is my first review - watched this one month ago - around New Year and was absolutely impressed. I started recently watching China drama productions, and watched a lot - day and night, but for the fitst time I encounter something like this.

Song of the Moon is probably the first of the genre Fantasy, but it was made and presented in a highly realistic scope than almost all I watched before -and I watched a lot. This is due to the quality of production, the phenomenal visual effects and picture resolutions, which installs the impression that the invisible realms are, as real as the visible, and more than that.

The story develops with quite a good intensive temps - once you start it, you get fascinated and so captured that you simply cannot stop watching it.

It tackles important issues and may not be equally undersood by all views depending on viewers' views and believes.
Song of the Moon is a non-religios, non denominational, highly beautiful art production that infuses positive emotions and will boost your energy level, yet it may not be everybody's perception.
For example, I come from Christian background and many of the Bible scriptures may not be easy to understand in the nowadays western people. The core of Christanity is a new person, being a 100 % man and a 100 % God, who knew no sin but took the responsibility for all mankinds' transgrassions. Watching this wonderful production, I have been visualising truths and virtues that are rare to see in the "mortal" world.
or visualize verses like - "Deep calling into the deep, with the roar of your thunderstorms'. So real.

Watching it, paramount questions come out of the series like that of love, trust and relationships, as well as the choices we make, and many questions are springing out while watching it but down are some examples:

How can you love, and protect all the mankind, if your heart cannot contain love for a single person? How can you take care of all the Universe, if you cannot take care of one human being, where love is prohibited?

Regarding relationships, interestingly Song of the Moon raises the theme of a lifetime relationship. Now, being immortals, this life-time relationship turns into an ethernal relationship, the relationship a man chooses to enter into with the living God.
The other point regarding relationships - well. I have met certain comments that Song of the Moon did not have a strong romance line. Maybe, because this has not been the producer's focus - I would say it's more the relationship, that the romance.

Regarding the cast - what can I say - this is my fist time watching all of them actors, and if they have succeeded to make a fantacy production look more realistic than non-fantacy productions, then cogratulations - they have all done a very good job.

I have also read a comment that the ML actor is being underestimated. Well, those who humble themselves, will be promoted.

I have been re-watching the episodes following 21 and really very good acting, moreover he is playing several charaters and cases of one interwening into the other.

Actually, a month after watching it, it is exactly Vin Zhangs' moments from this drama that come to my mind, like the the Immortal responding to peoples' prayer with "Granted" "Granted."

Last thing to note is the overall positive message that Song of the Moon brings. This is for me a rear find amongst China TV productions. Out of the many I saw I can say in terms of influence on the viewer, only the Long Ballade can be mentioned, which is an overall fascinating production, as well, with many merits, when Song of the Moon gives even a deeper message, and is a newer production.
