When I first started this drama, I had no expectation. I think the drama is just somewhere between so-so and interesting BUT it definitely keeps getting interesting and better in the 2nd arc (which is on ep 16). It feels like you're watching different drama with different characters in it. This drama probably has its flaws and definitely NOT the best xianxia drama out there but it definitely worth to give a try (just like i said, 2nd arc is way more interesting). I'm glad that I kept watching this drama despite bad reviews from Chinese netizens. Now, this is one of my weekly looking forward drama and I just can't stop for it (I'm pretty a lot of people agreed with me about Qingmu lol). Last but not least, the CGI, it's pretty cool and somehow it looks like the teaser for online game which is high quality!
