Not the usual kind of XianXia

First of all, I would like to mention how positive I am about Yang Chao Yue's acting performance. I have seen her in Dance of the Phoenix, Heroes, Sisterhood and The Journey of Chong Zi and I was not satisfied with her performance in any of the dramas. Whether it was the script or really her acting is hard to say.

Ding Yunxi never disappoints - I've watched all his dramas so far and have to say that he delivered again. Personally, I think he conveyed the role as well as the emotions very well.

The visual effects were beautiful and an absolute eye-catcher.
The costume designers really went out of their way to show differences between lives and the way they dressed. My personal favourite is definitely the Demon King arc.

Personally, I really enjoyed the story and next to BTTB, LY7T will be my second favourite Xianxia this year.
Even though some may find the story too rushed at the end, I found that the fight at the end ended without exaggeration and was carried more by emotions and decisions of the individuals.
It also made sense to me that Chu Kong sacrifices himself in this life, as he had already given her the opportunity not to die again 30,000 years earlier with his Qiling. The decision for Chu Kong to sacrifice himself this time also makes sense because it would not be logical for Cang Hai to sacrifice herself and for Chu Kong to die in the process.

We can rejoice that we have another XianXia drama with a happy ending this year, even if we don't know what will become of them.
My impression here was that Chu Kong still remembers her in this life. That means it's up to our imagination what their future will be.

A perfect mix of Martial Arts, Emotions, Mystery and Suspense

The friendship that Li Lianhua, Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng have given us is truly a special one, as three individuals who would not come together like that, work together due to circumstances and become the most unlikeliest trio in this story.
To be able and watch them going on this journey together, grow fond of each other and be there in any kind of sitution ist really an eyeopener. We as human beings can learn so much because of the three - nothing looks like it seems.

Every episode was so thrilling to watch and that is why, it was really hard to wait for the next episodes to come out. The story had so many twists that even normal situations turned out not like we would have assumed them to be.
This story has the perfect mix of Martial Arts, Emotions, Friendship, Mystery and Suspense.

Cheng Yi delivered as usual. When he plays a role, he plays it out to the bitter end and makes sure that we are able to feel the character's emotions ourselves.

I have seen Zeng Shunxi in many other dramas and must admit that his portrayal of the young hero Fang Duobing is on point and he delivered the young, naïve, rich character who does not have that much life experience yet very well.

Xiao Shunyao did an excellent job of bringing Di Feisheng to life and making us realise that for Di Feisheng, Li Xiang Xi/ Li Lianhua is his absolute number one and he is determined to keep him alive no matter what it takes.


The actors worked hard for the action scenes, which you can see in their delivery.

The production, as well as the production design and costume designers, have worked hard to show the difference between the current dynasty and the Nanyin Empire. It is obvious at first glance which belong where.
They have also given the characters from the Blood realm characteristics that distinguish them from the current dynasty.

Regarding the OST, I have to say that so far it has always been the case that when Liu Yuning and Modeng Xiongdi have provided the soundtrack, I have been absolutely thrilled by the story.

Of course, I don't assume that it's because of the singer, however, I can say that Liu Yuning once again sang a very great song.

In general, I liked the OST in the drama very much, which is why the drama is rounded off perfectly for me with the OST.

I hope that everyone will enjoy this drama as much as I did.
