A decent production xuanhuan/xianxia drama

Although this drama is not a high production like others in its genre, the cast and director provide a story that is still worth watching at least once. The costuming department did well enough. I felt they were a little plain looking at times. The CGI isn't the best, but for what it is it isn't the worst. The music isn't anything to write home about either, but I did like two of them and have them on my Spotify playlist. The acting of the cast is decent to good. I liked the portrayals of each character, some more than others. The chemistry worked out good for me, with smiles and butterflies. I was rooting for our leading couple. As for our secondary leading characters, I didn't feel any particular strong emotion or attachment to them. The story of the drama itself is fine but the script and world-building was lacking. I felt that the pacing was great at the start of Season 1, particularly if you like some investigation mixed in with fantasy like me. Toward the end of Season 1 however, the story began to feel draggy. Season 2 picks up where Season 1 left off, and I was glad to see that the drag was going to end. I personally enjoyed Season 2 more, and the ending made me overall satisfied with the drama. I would consider it to be in my top 5 favorite dramas of 2021.

If you enjoyed dramas such as Eternal Love, Ashes of Love, Love & Redemption and so on, then feel free to give this a try! It may not be on-par with the others but it definitely deserves some love.
