A strong cast with Allen Ren, Yang Zi as leads. I am also very impressed with Liu Xue Yi as the demon king - besides very good acting skills, he is very good looking. Yang Zi is a famous actress and her tears seem to fall on demand; her weakness is when she speaks - she can't seem to convey the emotions.

I watched it a second time and enjoyed it better initially. I thought I would come back and improve my ratings but changed my mind during the last one-third of the drama. The pace slowed, and became very verbose and draggy. As most of the mysteries were already uncovered, there were not much holding my attention. Although there was an unexpected revelation towards the end, it did not add to the suspense during the drama. As it proceed further, it felt even boring as events were more of the same.

I am not impressed with the female characters - pretty but mostly dumb - not the type I am impressed with.

The story was haphazard with a lot of contradictions, many times within the same episode. It almost seemed like the story was made up as the drama was produced and moved along. However, it would still keep you captivated as you want to know what is going on.

There was a lot of crying and tantrums as each character insisted on doing things their way to the extend I find it tiring to watch - just want to slap them. The drama had failed to stir any emotion in me.

Characters in the story are suicidal and masochistic - not healthy mental states.

The heavenly emperors are so bureaucratic that at times I sympathise with the demon king.

I heard this so many times in the drama - 'you go; no, we go together' - just to create some suspense as danger was imminent and the characters are engaged in this tag-of-war. It was so cliche.

If you make season 2, please improve the script.

Overall, not too impressed with how the story is put together but I am giving it an 8 for the strong cast.
