Anyone can give up immortality for a love like this

If you like antiheroes, you are gonna love this. I have watched 40 episodes and I want to watch it again. 'Gege' has definitely replaced 'oppa' in my vocabulary.

I have seen other works of both Zhao Lusi and Li Hongyi but I felt like they really showed their emotions in this one than in their other works. Their chemistry in this was combustible (yep, I now ship them because of this). Li Hongyi was just so beautiful and sexy as the unpredictable antihero QY. His mesmerizing eyes gave off a dangerous, tempting vibe. He was so manipulative but I couldn't hate him. His love for ChunHua was worth giving immortality up. Zhao Lusi showed Chunhua's growth from a naughty and innocent girl to a slightly skeptical one, but through it all you can see that she was really just searching for that one true love. She kept denying to herself that she was already falling for QY because she though he was not her Mr Right.

June Wu as XiaoBai as the SML was also a great. He was able to portray a handsome, nice, respectful unromantic guy who was slowly falling for Chunhua's flirting. In the end you can see that he truly loved ChunHua, it just wasn't meant to be.

The time travel element is unimportant, it is better to just treat it as a xanxia. The ending actually felt kinda rushed. Events like what happened after QY and XB made their difficult decision were told by another character instead of actually being shown. I also wanted some scenes showing how the leads lived after their reunion. This does not mean I want a season 2, because I already love this drama as it is, but I would definitely look out for another collaboration of the two lead actors.

I don't usually care about OSTs but I really liked Zhao Lusi's campy opening song and Li Hongyi's emotional ending song. That they used Li Hongyi's song in the most romantic scenes gave it that oomph factor that melts you into a puddle.

Would definitely rewatch especially the sweet scenes between CH and QY.
