I went into this drama with little to no expectations but was very very pleasantly surprised by the time i finished all the 50 episodes. This being my first CDrama, I was very new to the Chinese fantasy/mythologies and it took me a while to actually get involved and intrigued by this story. A little patience is needed in the beginning but the story gets more and more interesting as the episodes progress.
I absolutely loved the dynamics/love/friendship/chemistry (whatever you want to call it) between the two leads. But every other supporting cast were equally good. Wei Wuxian is the best character ever for me and you will definitely fall in love with Xiao Zhan's portrayal of WWX.
This drama has an amazingly complex story, very good acting from all the characters, best family relationships and friendships and everything else you can ask for in a fantasy drama.
I also liked that the drama made slight changes to the characters and story from the original novel but still maintained the same overall story arc. If you miss the show and the characters after you finish this, you can read the original Novel, continue on to the Manhua and round off with the Donghua all telling you the same loving story in different formats.
Would definitely recommend! 10/10 rating.
