Boring leads - still watching because I love the cast and I am enjoying the side characters...

1st off I came into this drama with high expectations.
1. I love Wuxia/Xianxia dramas
2. Vin Zhang is one of my favorite Chinese actors
3. I love Xu Lu too!

****Maybe slight spoilers about the leads?****
The beginning was very promising. It started with the typical Wuxia formula of overly optimistic and "fun" beginning which quickly begin turning dark no later than episode 8. I loved the plot idea of them not being able to be together due to the opposite Moon/Sun energy (which seemed to suddenly become not an issue at all?? Or did I sleep through a way they figured out to be together even with opposite powers? Are they even together? Cant even tell...) and couldn't wait to see how they tried to overcome it. Vin Zhang as Lu Li was such a fun character and I loved his chemistry with Liu Shao but once he became Luo Ge their relationship became a snorefest. The pining to be together again become redundant after like 5 episodes and I never felt the relationship recovered once they were "together" again, if they are? I can't tell..and again I did sleep throuh some parts of in episodes 28ish-32ish...I am at episode 36 now and I forgot they were even supposed to be in a relationship. At this point, I wouldn't even notice if they were gone. They quickly became the most boring characters in the show. I am way more invested in the Demon King He Na, his brother A Fu Jun, Luo Ge's sister Lou Ning, Wan Sui, and Shang Yu Rong. I was even more invested in the relationship between Wu Shi Wei and another guy for their brief appearance.

I only have 5 episodes left so I will most likely finish but I am seriously disappointed in the main characters. Their relationship appears nonexistent and they have become boring.
