What a mess
Let's start with what I didn't like:1) Editing. From the voice over to the flow of the scenes to the episode duration, someone just either never got paid to do it, or just pressed the AI button and let 01 bits take their course.
2)Lack of chemistry. Two exceptionally beautiful people who fell in love bc it was in the script. Especially the FL, with the atrocious voice over, came out as emotionless.
3) The plot. The relationship btw the leads was more of a second thought than the main focus. Also, so many secondary characters that dominated so much screen time I had to speed watch half of the drama. Also, what's with the songs???Not everything has to be an in drama video clip, reminiscing of past scenes. Especially when the romance is lacking.
4) The fight scenes. Most of them incomplete, you only get the end result and that as an afterthought.
5) The villain(s). At first it's the ML, then you hate Shi Zu, then it's Sen Luo(who just dies more easily than expected), then it's the Evil Sect, then it's the Sword Sect Master to end with the Premier, what a mess, every 5 episodes you get a new villain introduced.
6) Why for the love of all chinese drama gurus out there the FL's paternity was never questioned? Is it such a taboo to ask "Who is your father?" Maybe he's the problem here and not every other Tom, Dick and Harry?
7) The ending. Inconsistent, unexplained just HE for the sake of it.
What I liked
1) The Dragon Lord
2) FL's mother's plot
3) Zhang Linghe. But I've yet to see him with a FL he's got chemistry with.

Short, tropey to the core but what a treat!
Ok let me start by saying the ML comes at first as a toxic mfk who you want to slap to kingdom come. And lo and behold, our FL in just a few episodes slaps the sh*t out of him! What a treat!LOL! Not a woman to mess with, our FL schemes for almost all of the episodes to take her sweet revenge. All the tropes are here:toxic ML, misunderstood and sa FL, vicious SFL, villain, amnesia, misunderstandings, lost family members, revenge, blindness! There's also humour, like wtf??Need I go on? And yet... And yet reader! He 's really served humility in a platter! And they talk about it! They literally forgive each other like 2 adults at the end! It's so out of cdramaland that I'm shocked to grading it higher than what it's really worth! ML 's my new crush and oh, his smiles... A dream! His acting is also commendable. Now the FL is a known actress in such dramas, but damn girl, feel the kisses a little more, don't be so unfazed.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Don't miss it!
Do yourselves a favour and watch this gem! One of the best productions of the year so far and my new guilty rewatch pleasure! It's such an amazing story that I teared up at the end, even though I had read about the ending! And yes, there is a happy ending, worry not! The chemistry is sizzling and the humour is nicely balanced with the seriousness of the plot. It just goes to show that when the script is good and the writing team knows what the viewers need 12 ep are more than enough to give us the best story ever!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Worth it
It's the first chinese series ever to have me bawling my eyes out for more than 20 minutes. The last episode messed me up. The sad ending is so fitting, it couldn't have been different. Watch all of it, even the annoying parts, ignore the plot holes and some miraculous comebacks, and let it wash over you. And allow the tears to cleanse you. Truly artful the way it was delivered.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Best Cdrama so far!
I have already rewatched it 5 times. Every. Single. Episode. It's that good. I occasionally rewatch my favourite scenes just for the pleasure of it. What's more the OST is lit! And it's the first time ever a drama didn't make me feel deprived for the loss of intimate scenes. The acting is superb, the dialogues come back to bite you and everything falls exceptionally into place depicting an amazing love story. No plot holes, no fillers and one of the best love confessions ever!From both of the protagonists. And their actions prove their words! Definitely worth the hype, definitely worth my time!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
