Super high budget, the settings, costumes and cinematography are outstanding, a visual pleasure.

Liu Haoran is fantastic in his role I have no idea what people mean when they complained he wasn't good enough for the part he's perfect! Chen Ruoxuan is the best Ji Ye you could ask for and while Song Zuer's Yu Ran does start out as very childish and immature at the beginning her character development is very satisfying and she grows into a well-rounded character who knows how to accept responsibility and the importance of sacrifice. Most importantly, this love triangle is far from conventional and I'm very grateful for that.

It's a slow-burn plot, but not in a boring way! The production team takes their time in unfolding the mysteries and every question has its answer. There are a few subtle plot holes that could have been handled better and taken this show from epic to truly legendary but they have no effect on the main plot.

The first half of the show is by far the most light-hearted and the second half is gritty, bloody and full of suspense! Once again I don't know what people meant when they said the second half of the show let it down, the second half is where all the excitement is!

I give the music and rewatch value just a 8* each because I wish the show's OST had been used more often but when it is used its spellbinding, and the rewatch value simply because once you know the answers to the mysteries it removes a lot of suspense. I wish I could watch it again for the first time.

Give this show a try it deserves your attention!
