Surprisingly emotionally complex and relatable despite being deep in the fantasy genre. Of course, it has all the action, beauty and effects of high-budget C-dramas, but the actors are bringing subtle, multi-layered performances that makes the drama so much more sophisticated and intriguing.

ML Luo Yunxi's acting has come a long way since Ashes of Love - he is a master of subtle expressions from slightly sadistic, sociopathic smirks to pure, open-hearted joy. His characters are each uniquely portrayed, complex and spellbinding. Just wow. Watch for him alone - you'll forget he's even Luo Yunxi.

FL is excellent and the dynamic between them is unpredictable.

Plot twists galore and a fast pace so you won't be skipping - in fact, I keep rewinding because the visuals are so strong I forgot to read the subtitles.

This sets the bar for a whole new quality level in Xianxia. I expect it will outshine "Eternal Love" and other classics and get picked up on Netflix, etc, for wider Western audiences.
