This is a good one if you are not looking to binge watch a show but want a good romantic xanxia style drama that you can put down and pick up with ease. The story is good but not very original, which frankly I don't always want new and different. It's like a comfortable pair of shoes. You know what you are going to get and it's comfortable. I did feel like it really dragged at a lot of places and then all of a sudden something major happens. So, instead of spending a lot of time on something that really didn't further the story they should have focused on how that major event took place, how the feelings developed, etc. The comparison to Ten Miles of Peach Blossom (TMPB) and Three Lives Three Worlds (3L3W) is only fair in that it's part of the same world. So, there will be some things that remind you of both dramas. It is not a remake of either one but it is sophomoric.

The cast was decent. There's a lot of strange comments about the Male lead not be good-looking enough, but I'm like what about his acting. Well, I'll tell you, he was great. He was cold and aloof but turned on the heat a few times. But mostly he was very serious like the God of War would be. The female lead is stunning, so it made it hard to truly evaluate her acting. But she did a good job of portraying the growth and maturity of Ling Xi. But the second couple was what I really looked forward to watching. They were great together. And I ended up loving them the most.

I hated the music. It was boring and annoying.

Overall, I love xanxia & wuxia style dramas, even though this didn't deliver much in martial arts the fantasy and love story were enough to entertain me for a while. It's not my favorite but I'm glad I finished it. I might even edit the review later on when I've had time to think over the show.
