A Variety of People forming the most Formidable Team + I Lost it when Calvin Chen went Topless~!!
Definitely on my Top 10 BEST Chinese costume drama EVERRR~
I will never get enough of this. I honestly need the S2 as soon as possible, as in, 'A.S.A.P'~!!
I never really thought I would enjoy this drama to this great length. I mean, it started really interesting with a rather mysterious yet usual fantasy-wuxia concept and as time passes by, issues and negative stuff arises but this show is on a completely different level compared to those I've watched so far.
It may look similar or even identical to some but 'the-hell-I-care'. This drama has its own spice that keeps it on top of the rest of its kind. I can't exactly explain how it is better than other dramas but one thing I know is that it completely catched and locked my attention into it. It's probably just my personal preference after all, but, who cares? what's important is that it was able to cater and satisfy my liking beyond expectation.
In terms of story phasing and progression— I admit, it was a bit slow-paced at first and I felt like many sequences were wasted just to build things up but then after a while you'll just realize that it was created for a purpose. Mostly those scenes were setup as a way to give us proper intoduction for the main cast and I just learned to appreciate and accept them as it goes on.
The whole vibe of the drama is really light and entertaining; Probably the reason why I was so indulged and fascinated by it and of course, who even wanna watch a heartbreaking and complicated story when you can have something light and this entertaining?
Some of the scenes may look ridiculous and the power scaling may not make sense at times but it was able to fill those flaws by how efficient and tactical they are in presenting fighting scenes and story build up. Up until the very end it was able to keep my interest so alive even when it off screened the most hype fights. I will definitely wait for the next season to come and I just wish for them to keep the same cast as much as possible.
Story - 10, I contemplated so much about this but after so much consideration I still decided to give it a full mark. Story may not be completed and we're left with a cliffhanger but it was understandable because S2 was expected and planned in the first place. Slow-pacing should've affected my rating as well but they were able to redeemed themselves by giving us impressive fighting and entertaining scenes. Although towards the end it has become a bit fast-paced and they off-screened lots of things but as I mentioned in my bio some of these things doesn't matter as long as I got extremely entertained by it.
Acting/Cast - 10, Outstanding set of Artists! I can never ask for more. It feels like they are created for their characters and they just owned it. I'm very satisfied with everyone's execution and performance and god know how I wish for them to retain their roles when S2 happens.
Music - 10, Refreshing choice of Music. I really commend how this drama went with a Fantasy-Journey theme and sounded song as an opening. It reminded me of Fushigi Yuugi's opening theme. I really love the songs used in this drama.
Rewatch Value - 10, Of course!! I might even rewatch it once the next season comes out. Come on! This drama is just a cut above the rest for me. No discussions needed!
Overall - 10, Despite all the negative things I still commend this drama for making my 'watching experience' one of the best. It may have struggled when it comes to pacing overall but they were able to turn those around with all the other great stuff they incorporated in this production. Highly Recommend!
