If it weren't for the two main actors, this show would be just garbage with good CGI. Bai Lu was excellent, as is her good habit, and Leo Luo surprised me quite a bit. As I'm not a fan of his, he convinced me that he can act and changed my mind about him.

The whole story of this drama is just a dream of chaos, it doesn't make much sense and the production team tries to redeem it - save it with high-end CGI, which is really impressive on a screen of quality television. However, it soon ceases to entertain the viewer because that's basically all this show has to offer.

Novel readers seem to be able to get a better handle on the story, but for others it's hell. The writers have done this piece of work no favours. Rather, they've merely pointed out that it should be avoided by potential readers. I can't even imagine this drama having 60 episodes in the original when even in those 40 they considered filling in with filler scenes that could be skipped because they are irrelevant to the overall flow.

Moreover, if the writers and hence the novelist don't have enough imagination to keep the story going without letting every character die and rise multiple times, they should refrain from making any more. I find the amount of resurrections in this story almost disrespectful.

Despite all that, I was hooked at the beginning, but the second half went downward. It became a load of nonsense and overall it robbed me of my time. So if someone has nothing to do, they should check it out, but if they haven't read the original work, they'll find it preposterous on its face.

I give it a 7 because I'm too soft and kind-hearted. But if I had to rate it fairly, it's about a 5.
