Wang Yi Bo is AMAZING and Lan Wang Ji. Just fantastic and fascinating. I have never heard of this guy before or seen him in anything before and he just blew me away. The character he plays is so stoic. And sometimes he has to show his emotions through a twitch in his jaw or the way he eyes move or the way he looks at Wei Wuxian. He is just so amazing. I loved it. The director did amazing job with him too.
Xiao Zhan - I have mixed feelings about him. I think there were times he was amazing, but there were also times where he was overacting and it totally felt like over acting (example - when he's running away from fairy - this is one of many). But at the same time I think XZ and WYB had amazing chemistry.
Wang ZhouCheng - Probably one of my favorites in this show. I never would have guessed he was a newcomer. He was PHENOMENAL. And his heart-breaking romance with Wen Qing!!!
Wen Ning & Wen Qing - Another beautiful pair of characters! So amazing! Both of them! their Actors did such a fantastic job too!
I watched the animated series before I watched the live-action, and I had heard that the live-action was difficult to follow. Maybe it was because I was familiar with the story-line that I didn't find it confusing. But there were times where I preferred the animated show.
The romance between LWJ & WWX is not emphasized at all. In fact it is not mentioned at all. There are two times it is hinted upon more than subtly:
1) when WWX tells LWJ that if he has to die he'd rather die by LWJ's hand and LWJ "cries".
2) LWJ gets drunk and the next morning he asks WWX if he said anything and WWX teases him saying that LWJ said "I like..." and LWJ gets flustered.
I haven't read the novel yet, but I know that the novel has a lot more flirting (WWX) and more obvious romantic stuff like confessions and kisses, I get why kisses (China, censorship and homophobia) weren't there, but I wish we would have gotten the confessions at least. The open-endedness was ok, but also frustrating - especially knowing that in the novel they end up getting married.
