Watched this without knowing anything about the origin of the story (the novel). All characters are well developed and will definitely leave a mark on you not just the main characters. I can't believe it's possible to rewatch a 50 episode series multiple times and feel like it's the very first time you're watching it each time. I can't get over the way Wei Wuxian smiles or laughs and how Lan Wangji was lured by his charm ? . The plot has a lot to offer as it incorporated loyalty and love of family, friendship, betrayal, and a lot more. You'll be in for a roller coaster ride of emotions that I felt my heart literally aching specially for Wei Wuxian who has been gravely misunderstood through most of the series. There were people though who really continued to believe in him despite of what they "see." This show has cemented it's place in my heart that I believe I'll continue to rewatch it from time to time just to "visit" the characters I have come to love. Don't miss out!
