A beautiful drama simply about ... LOVE.
Probably one of the best Xianxia dramas I have seen. All the boxes where checked off on this drama. You couldn’t get a more perfect drama, from casting, to music, to costumes to CGI budget and incredible storyline.
I enjoyed Dylan Wang in Meteor Garden and The Rational Life, but I’ve never watched him in a serious role and I have to say, he can act. It’s not easy to be playful and serious boss character. I enjoyed listening to his real voice and watching him play both playful and serious parts.
I liked Esther Yu in Moonlight but I do know people find her voice very high pitch and as much as I love a high pitch voice, yes the voice is very high, however, it grows on you. I really enjoyed her acting and she kind of captivates you. I do love her bubbly side and it was good to see her in a more dramatic and serious role.
The best part of the drama for me is the chemistry and epic love story of the main characters. I didn’t think there could be a 36 episode drama just about love, but they did and it took you on a crazy journey. I never felt like it dragged or there was too much silly misunderstandings. I felt like each obstacle the main leads had to overcome was engaging and really addicting to watch.
I liked that it was a drama between two sides, however there wasn’t a bad or good side, despite, one side being lighter and the other side being darker. It was refreshing to see each character’s inner issues and having them worked out. The character development was really good.
The costume and CGI was REALLY fantastic to watch. I loved all of the head pieces and colorful costumes. I loved the CGI backgrounds with the stars and shooting flowers and beautiful trees. The drama looked so organic and alive and mystical. I didn’t think I would like a drama with so much CGI, but it really took you to a different world.
The OST is good too and yes you can purchase the theme song in iTunes America! It’s always hard for me to find C drama songs on iTunes in America, so now I can play it over and over again. The music is really catchy, I promise.
Overall, The raving reviews have merit. It’s a beautiful drama simply about Love and that’s exactly why I watch C dramas.
