I really loved this drama! The cast is amazing! Loved all the main leads. Loved the relationship between the sisters! Loved the intermixing between the 4 realms. Loved all the couples, loved the 3 Masters. Loved that the writers found a wonderful way to show that the mortal Emperor loved Tan all along with the gifts under the table. In fact, that might have been one of my favorite surprises! Loved the songs and the beautiful settings. Now, about the writing... I never cried so much in any drama before!! I was not the only one either! Those of us commenting were all crying! We cried because we were invested in these characters. That is the power of a well written drama. I went through a box and a half of Kleenex during this show! That being said, as well written as I thought it was, I was also upset with the ending. We all love a happy ending and we all felt sad that we didnt get to see one! It was absolutely heart breaking when Kui sacrificed herself for Tan. God, but it was hard to get past! But when Tan did the same and we never got to see them return, it was pretty disappointing, I'm not going to lie. Just about everyone was unhappy with the ending. The writers did a great job, except for the ending, where I felt they dropped the ball. Or They ran out of episodes. Either way, it could have been better planned. But, 95% of this drama was written extremely well. I thought the finding of the 3 versions of Xuan Shang took too long, but each version was kind of entertaining.
Some commenters were really, really vocal about how they felt about the bad guys in this drama! I was really angry as well which means the actors playing those characters acted well! I loved all the couples! I was happy to see Wudai with the snake princess. She was awesome for him! Would have liked to see her win him over though. Btw, loved Wudai in general! He is such a lovable character! So well played! My favorite character was 3rd Void Prince, Chao Feng. His character arc was my favorite. I loved watching him and his 2nd, Hai Chao. Hai Chao was a great character! I loved watching him fall for Qing Kui. Watching him lose her was heartbreaking. Loved Di Lan Jue! Having him turn into a puppy and end up wearing a diaper was comedic genius! Loved him and ZiWu. Loved Qeng Heng. Was very sorry to see him not get a love interest at the end.
Well, I would definitely recommend this drama! Just have more than 1 box of Kleenex, you are gonna need it!
