5th rewatch and I'm still here

Wei Wuxian's story deeply touched me. I really could feel his sacrifices, his love for the people around him, his regrets and remorse... When his sister died, I cried a lot. He blamed himself so much to the point he could see nothing but red. Also the leads relationship is just unforgettable, I love WangXian so much!! The way Lan Wangji went from a stoic, young boy who is unable to express his love for his Wei Ying and just wants him to stay by his side and on the "right" path to a grown, mature man who lived by his dead love's memory -- to always be there where the chaos is, and also became someone to stand by Wei Ying, making up all the regrets he had during Wei Ying's past life. The casting for this drama is also perfect and the acting also delivered. (Can I also just say Xiao Zhan is so handsome?!?!?!)

Although there are flaws both in the storytelling and directing, the way the story was delivered overshadowed these flaws. This drama is one of a kind and I will hold this close to my heart forever.
