I’ve seen a lot of wuxia and almost xianxia movies and drama in cdrama world but this one doesn’t contain so much of cringey scenes, not at all, however as a bl fan I can say that’s really appropriate for the scenes and the story since they only took those I can say worthy to be adapted live. Without those explicit romance I still cannot say that they wasn’t not love between the characters because the actors did pretty well in conveying their message with chemistry. I could say that the Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan, just by watching this, do have feelings for one another. If I haven’t read the novel nor watch the animated version, I’d still say the same. Most bl genre shows explicit romance so most bl fans would expect the same but not me, I really praise the writer and the rest behind the scenes who made this live action drama possible, they made it wonderfully and casted perfectly even without proper works prior to this—I’m talking about the supporting roles, particularly Jiang Cheng and Wen Ning’s actors! They totally amazed me. As for the music, it is amazing. It expresses the emotion that they cannot convey directly through conversation so those songs not only brought life but also story behind the character and their actions.
