Love Prevails
another lovable wuxia drama that had me smiling in the end.Positives: Story
the storyline was very interesting .. it was unique and i really enjoyed how it played out especially in the beginning with her six senses and her not having them and all. the storyline will surely keep you hooked because there’s always something interesting happening one after the other.
Negatives: Story
- at certain points it did was a bit of a mess
- too much spitting of blood and the ml dying 💀
- filler episodes
HATED the king and how he interfered .. i made be boiling with annoyance.
Positives: Acting
the acting was nice and decent from the supporting actors although "Yuan Bing Yan" more so "Cheng Yi" was incredible . he always knows how to capture the audience and keep him hooked.
even though the constant spitting of blood got to the point of being annoying and too much along with repetitive, i have to say he really proved how incredible of a actor he is by doing it over and over and over again.
the music was alright .. nothing special in my opinion though i liked "colored glass" it was a nice one.
not sure if i’d watch it in the future especially since there are so many episodes and so many filler episodes but maybe one day ..
i’m really happy they got the happy ending they deserved and that nothing stopped them. one of my favorite cdrama couples :D
overall the drama was a really nice one though i don’t think they needed 59 episodes perhaps 40 but nothing less i enjoyed it. this drama is for you if you love romance and some suffering haha because you will get ALOT of it.

Gay story
I felt it was a gay story in the end.. there is good storyline in the beginning but it lost the plot once the star of moshi is unleashed/ revived... In the end writer tried his best but couldn't get the required.... Apart from that story is good for lovers in knowing deep emotions... And also trust of the partner... Story lineup of creating god of war is impressive.. but revealing true identityOf mosha star made the feel of the story letting down.. could have been edited and tried something
Else like trapping
Female Soul in to body.. but it's different. .. other than that story is excellent
Music is very good...

Im honestly amazed.
At first, there were characters that really annoyed me. Take Silver Snake for example, the first time I saw her, I knew she would bring trouble for the main couple.I will be honest and say that the middle of the movie (episode 11 to episode 41) was really, really great written.
You know that saying which goes something along the lines of ...
“If you hate a movie that means it has an amazingly written plot”
and I couldnt agree more. I was thinking to drop it, but im so glad i did not.
I skipped 1-2 episodes at most overall, besides playing the movie at speed 1.25.
The actors did a wonderful job aswell! Last 10 episodes were just so painfull yet so fulfilling.
I cant understand people who said that King Bailing didnt get a good enough of a punishment, in my eyes, what matters is that he realised what he has done wrong, and repelled for his mistakes.
Im really curious about wht happend to the couple of Wu Zhi Qi and Zi Hu. I really wished I could see them get married or somewhere living their best life.
I could say tons of stuff about this movie but That would be just me rambling.
I was thinking a few days ago what would happen, and if ill regret starting this drama, my answer to that is that:
I DONT REGRET WATCHING IT !

For me, the highlight goes to Teng She, the Celestial Serpent. He steals the show every time he appears! I even wish he had had more screen time and a greater development of his story. Definitely, my favorite character!
Now, the only part that tired me a little was when Linglong got stuck. I thought they extended this part too much, and the pace was a little dragged. It looked like it would never end! Other than that, the dorama is excellent and has a great balance between the drama and the lighter moments, as well as an engaging romance.
Overall, it's a very good dorama and worth watching!

One of the BEST XIANXIA ever
I watched this series during pandemic as i had nothing to do BUT i didnt expect this to be this good. It is my first xianxia and until now, it remains as my best as i have watched others. You just got to watch beyond episode 3 and then u will get hooked. I never knew about Cheng Yi nor Yuan Bing Yan but their acting and CP was one of the best i have seen in ages. The story is almost flawless and made me re-watch too many times. I must admit the main male lead Cheng Yi did so well that whenever he cried, i cried too. This is what viewers want and enjoy the most. And with a happy ending, who wouldnt liked?Cet avis était-il utile?

From amazing to questionable
Honestly, when I first started watching this I couldn't understand why I didn't start earlier.It was amazing. Every romantic moment was lovely, butterfly giving and so moving, I couldn't
stop watching it. The dialogues were so well written, and the leads did such a good job and made us
believe they truly loved each other. I definitely see why many cdramas after took inspiration from it.
But then the drama took a big turn and my obsession turned into "When will this end"
Constant repetition of the female lead saving her man, and him spitting blood felt
like I was watching and Indian show made with Powerpoint effects. After some time,
I also started getting annoyed by the main actress having to say his name 100 times because
she was constantly looking for him. Once quirky and fun female lead turned unlikeable and the love
story got lost in retelling the lore which is usually a big case with "romance cdramas" where you expect
more romance but it is always more important to tie the story and the lore together which is why the romance falls short.
Towards the end, the two leads became distant and my yearning for them to be together again fell off as their focus was more onto other things than each other. Overall I definitely think this drama does romance and love better than a large number of cdramas but it sadly failed to do it perfectly towards the end, however it is definitely worth a watch as it will make you lose it and fangirl a lot.

A love across universe
This a monstrous (by today's standard) 59 episode xian xia. In my opinion, it can definitely be shortened to 40 (the norm episode numbers today) and would have gotten a higher rating for me. I think this is a good drama, with good storyline and interesting characters. My first time watching both Cheng Yi and Crystal Yuan. I thought Cheng Yi is a good actor and played his role well. He can show the emotion that the complicated Si Feng faces. Crystal, on the other hand, is just so so and her character her is in the border of annoying for me. Like the majority of Chinese Xian Xia dramas, the "white" or "good" clan is not necessarily the good guys. They are hypocrites and act like a saint, whilst not necessary good. The evil clan in the end sometimes can be the good guys. Overall, i enjoy watching this drama, although i do tend to loose focus on some parts.Cet avis était-il utile?

One gem of a story
What don't i love about this drama? I am honestly looking for an answer to it. Starting from the music to the acting of every actor to the story itself, i love each and every part of it. The CGI was also so beautiful for the most part.Story: The story is very well written, with all loose ends tied up and almost all backstories well explained. All the characters had beautiful development and it was so nice to see them all getting what each of them deserved.
Acting and Characters: First i want to say about Yuan Bingyan's acting. She brought Chu Xuanji to life and it was so beautiful that i can't explain in words. Yu Sifeng was one wonderful character that won my heart every time and i couldn't help but fall in love, and although i wished he was a little more hard hearted, maybe it's his kindness and selflessness was what i loved the most. He took sacrificing for love to a whole new level and luckily its wasn't just all take and no give for the FL (unlike some other drama). And might i say that i just loved Teng She and Wu Zhiqi too!
There were characters that i surely didn't like, Xiao Yin Hua, the FL's father and Ruo Yu, and all the righteous sect leaders for that matter. And few that i hated like Yuan Lang, Wu Tong (he was really impressive but too cruel and evil and obsessed for my liking) and Bailing (though i liked him at first, as the story progressed i started hating his character). Mosha Xing was pitiful for real.
I didn't give it a 10 because:
1. Linglong's story was given too much importance, didn't like that part much.
2. I really expected that the ML being the heavenly prince would assert some authority at some point but he didn't do that like ever, i really wish he were a little less soft hearted, he was too emotional. (But this is totally my own opinion).
3. Also Yuan Lang's backstory was never really explained.
4. In the early episodes, the same flashbacks were very repetitive, could've shown some other part of past than the same thing time and again.
5. Man the so called righteous sects and King Bailing were utterly villainous and evil! They were ultra prejudiced against everyone of other clans, ugh!
Now for the music: This album is honestly the best that I've heard in any cdrama. I love the soundtracks beyond words.
Overall: Go ahead and watch it. This is too good to be missed. It has its flaws, but its merits outnumber them greatly. I might just watch it again if i get time coz let's be real, 59 eps of 45 min each is pretty long!

Xianxia Drama With Lots of Angst!!
I was super doubtful about this drama when I first saw its poster and read the plot because the plot was a bit vague and Chinese dramas easily mess up in the middle. However, the first episode wasn't bad and hooked me in. I was even more hooked when I listened to the soundtrack and that's when I decided to watch and see how this drama will go. And it did not disappoint! The plot flowed smoothly and was an enjoyable watch! The CGI was pretty good in some scenes and a bit cringe in some other ones, but it was still okay to watch. The chemistry between Xuan Ji and Si Feng is just top notch also! Love this couple! However, some parts later in the drama annoyed me and I started watching in 1.5x speed in order to continue the drama, but it wasn't because the drama was bad overall, only because I was impatient at how some thins were going. Totally recommend anyone to watch because it is worth the hype.SPOILERS AHEAD!

Now, what I liked:
1. The OST! Such an amazing soundtrack with such talented singers! It brought scenes to life and I can't keep replaying the songs!
2. The acting! - Cheng Yi is just so talented at playing Si Feng and bringing those painful scenes (blood-spitting scenes) out to its full potential and to give viewers the pain as well. Some actors were not as great, just average, but it was still pretty okay to watch.
3. Script (for the most part) - characters developed well, flowed pretty smoothly, and wasn't too difficult to understand how the story is going. I really liked most of Si Feng and Xuan Ji's friendship and romance development and it was fun to watch.
4. The ending - was a great conclusion to the story with everything wrapped up neatly. I was really happy that they showed viewers what happened after Xuanji and Si Feng's marriage and what happened with everyone else.
What I didn't like:
1. The script/writing - It was really hard to watch Xuanji keep misunderstanding Si Feng and keep asking him to explain himself based on only what she sees. It was like the writer got lazy because this portion of misunderstandings continued for so many episodes and I really had to speed through those episodes. Xuanji seemed really dumb in those parts and it was just hard to watch such predictable scenes. Also, the writing for Xuanji's dad, Ling Long, and the 6th senior brother on how they treated Si Feng was so terrible. They turned their back on him so easily even though he helped them with so much. This also was hard to watch because they aren't using their reason to decide whether or not to trust him. It was also really annoying to watch Hao Chen brainwash Xuanji so much and she doesn't even realize it until the end.
2. Dumb characters- I really hated the part when the Fu Yu Island leader kept believing in his wife until the very end. It was really illogical of him to believe her when he knew she tried to hurt him.
I enjoyed this drama quite a lot even though I got annoyed and lost a bit of interest near the end. I would recommend it!
