I believe the team made it a point NOT to drag too much so it does progress quite fast to the extent i wished i could watch more of Yan Dan & Ying Yuan/Tang Zhou together. Its a matured love story and more about sacrifices one will make for the world/realms and not only on love. Acting wise is top notch from all of the actors and actresses. Cheng Yi's crying scenes really broke my heart so many times and his acting got me hooked on the drama. Yang Zi is also very good as she made me cry and laughed a lot. One of the better xianxias of all time but my favourite remains as love and redemption. :)
