Flying under a radar!
I didn't know this will turn out to be something i can't put down and will be glued to it. I was sad that it got over. Initially i was annoyed with FL as she took everything for granted or acted naïve. But later on she gets better slowly. Also our FL i found it plain looking and not so beautiful whichever angle i see it from. This is a slow burn romance, it takes it's time to get there. I thing i remember clearly is chemistry is off the charts for the leads. Story plot is complex and if you don't pay attention you can easily miss it. I don't write long reviews and dissect each part but that is becoz i don't have the skill :)I only like to write about what struck me the most and stayed with me after watching this few months ago. Definitely go for it if you are like me who enjoys Chinese wuxia dramas.

Do not snack while watching
Sifeng was easily the best character in the show. He was loving, patient, loyal, and had convictions. The writers did a good job developing his relationship with Xuanji. Although, she was frustrating at times due to her cluelessness, it wasn't completely without merit. She was missing her six senses, so it was natural for her to not understand love. But, she understood friendship and bonds that brought people together. And, due to her bond with Sifeng and his help to get her senses back, she gradually fell in love with him.Normally, a slew of misunderstandings would be frustrating. But, here, they were necessary to show character development and Xuanji's struggle to reunite with Sifeng and to get him to forgive her. I liked that the writers did not just make Sifeng take her back as soon as she showed up. She had to work for it and she never gave up. This showed that her love was as strong as his, which I liked.
Now, the worst part of the show was the constant blood spitting. We really need to go away with that. It's disgusting and completely unnecessary. Characters don't need to spit blood in every fight or with every physical injury. It looks forced and ridiculous. Watching the show completely destroyed my snack time.
I also did not care for most of the secondary characters. Linglong was spoiled and annoying. The sixth brother was boring. Wu Tong falling in love with Linglong was completely nonsensical and poorly written. If the writers went down the redemption route and wrote Wu Tong as less of a psycho, their relationship could've been interesting. None of the sects had any redeeming qualities. They were narrowminded, pompous, and thought very highly of themselves while committing atrocities. The demons were a lot more relatable and sympathetic.
Because I absolutely hated Hao Chen/Bailing for his continuous meddling and self-righteousness, I wanted to see him die a horrible death. But his defeat was rather underwhelming. He just realized that he was wrong and was demoted. I thought it was anticlimactic. I wanted to see him defeated in battle like the villain that he was.
Overall, I could watch this show again because I absolutely loved the love story.

It was a struggle to get all the way through to the end
My man didn't have 10 lives. He gotta go through 90 lives, because he had to have 9 lives for each life.How many times can you die without dying? Sifeng: Yes
lol
I tried really hard not to hate the FL the entire time, but it was frustrating af. I kept yelling, "AHHHH! JUST GIVE HIM TO ME THEN FFS!"
Luckily, the ML carried.
Once it finally got going, the chemistry was ? Thankfully.
Also, if I had $1 for every time someone said 'Sifeng' in the show, I'd be a millionaire. I stg, I was hearing 'Sifeng, SIFENG' in my sleep for days while watching this.
My husband even nudged me asking me who this 'Sifeng' was because I said his name in my sleep. Show gonna get me in trouble! LOLOLOL
Was just so repetitive ??
I'd rewatch again, but definitely would skip through 2/3rds of it if I did.

nice drama
This drama started off really nice and got me hooked from the beginning episodes... the middle was okay and the ending part was awesome, the episodes of misunderstandings felt too long and the male lead sacrificing himself every time was somewhat exhausting but i really liked the drama... although i did skip a lot (i always do with very long dramas), i didn't skip as much as i usually do. many of the characters here are likable. female lead is one of the most bearable chinese dramas have given us in a while (she had only a few episodes of stupidity ONLY). Although the villans were annoying, have to admit they were good looking lol..... the ending was satisfying imo everybody got what they deserved.overall drama quality is up to par with Ten miles of peach blossoms and ashes of love which are my favorites in this genre. the music was lovely as well.

I’m impatient for this
Like I can’t tell you how much laughter and sentimental showed in me while watching this. I cry in every episode. I laugh in every episode. Beautiful scene and good looking cast. I can’t ask for more. The story is just so heart touching. Don’t be fooled by the cover of the drama, at first I didn’t like the cover image, but then I was like maybe it has some good content aside from the cover. Then I fell in love. Ahhhh that day. I recommend you at least watch the 1st episode, then ur off to crying with the gang.Was this review helpful to you?

Poor character writing.
Starting off a really promising romance, the story gradually got bogged down in misunderstandings and thereby sacrificing the characters in it. The way the characters are written is the worst. Them disregarding the consequences when making decisions despite knowing they could possibly involve or harm other innocent people (FL), them making morally stupid decisions without a blink or repentance (MinYan), them sacrificing themselves despite all the risks and bodily harms inflicted (SiFeng), them imposing what they want on others (stupid dad), ... All of them are pushovers, especially FL when she took an oath to appease her dad (ep41).My overwhelming feeling while watching is frustration, which outweighs the heart-fluttering, roller-coaster moments i had for the romance.

Why is this series so famous????
I thought I wrote my first review when I was at episode 7 but now when I search I did not post and don't know what happenedSo though I was not impressed by it and wanted to give up but I want on watching and now I am at my 28th episode . Did my view changed sorry to say No I still think its not a great series and frankly I am surprised who gave it ten points . Now knowing little bit about chinese fandom I think i know how it got such high ranking
story is nothing new in fact its a mix of all you have seen before girl has no senses, ashes of love, she is in her ;ife where she doesn't remember eternal love, she is God of war and she doesn't remember nything , Gu insect i heard about it in three different series
I m not impress by main male lead so far episode 28 and i dont see ny expression on him but yes female main lead had surprised me she has really done a good job , her acting is fine and she express well no over acting here
most irritating is the girl Linglong her sister
and worst character is of Dijun may be we were spoiled by Dijun from eternal love series this Dijun is selfish, conniving and self centered
There are so many loopholes in story and it stretched a bit in all these episodes from 20-28
Chinese drams need to improve tehir treatment and should do some good serious dramas instead of same repetitive stuff
Throw some love candies so that we can say wow , show some torture to make audience cry , create misunderstanding between the couples
OK I dont know how far I will watch , now I m watching it while cleaning my house Good luck to me

Not as great as I thought
Character Analysis: Crystal Yuan looks great as the cute, innocent Chu Xuanji, but she fails badly as the heartless, badass God of War. Her armor did not make her look great, and looked too big on her. There's nothing great about Cheng yi's role except when he pretended to be the Star of Mosha and became more decisive and focus on his goal. Other than that, his character is too weak for me, even as the Prince of the Heavenly Realm. The sets wasn't as grandeur as TMOP or Love and Destiny, and I'm fine with that, but the main actors did not fit their roles. (Also is it me, or did the camera person take more close-up pictures of Cheng yi's lovely face? LOL.)Music/Ost: It's ok. Nothing memorable or enchanting.
Plot Analysis: Dijiu Bailin should have been banished from the Heavenly Realm when he created the God of War from Luo Hou Ji Du. You would think this goes against Heaven's rules, but nope, he gets away with it. Why? If you know anything about the Heavenly Realm, Dijiu Bailin would NOT get away with what he did to create the God of War. Second, having such a twisted mind in his hacking of Luo Hou Ji Du, why would Dijiu Bailin help Chu Xuanji in her mortal form? After all, when she finds out the truth, she would revenge herself for the evil deed he did.
Yu Sifeng plays a character that takes all the beating for Chu Xuanji, lifetime after lifetime. I give him credit for loving her all these times, even though there are times when he annoys me for running away from her.
Overall the plot and character actions doesn't make sense to me. The story around Chu Xuanji and Sifeng would have been enough and was already good if they did not include all the crazy, unfitting stuff from the Heavenly Realm/Demon clan. I really wanted to like the drama because the title sounds great. One thing I did like was the last ending family scene and the kissing scene didn't feel awkward.
I watched the first 20 episodes and skipped to the last 15 episodes.

Why I dislike this drama with a passion
When I first started the drama I loved it was so interesting and the characters were amazing but after each ep started to progress I started to hate every character besides Sifeng and now he's kinda slowly making me mad. I haven't finished the drama yet but I honestly don't think I ever will. The show was so repetitive and actually had no progression at all every 2 ep Sifeng was either close to death or heartbroken bc of the main female lead. She literally makes me mad because of how indecisive she is on wanting to kill this man. She puts his life in danger multiple times and yet she always comes out not hurt or just "heartbroken" seeing him in a bad state. I actually liked her better before she got her 6 senses back because her character was actually enjoyable during that time. Now she just keeps trying to kill him then wants to save him then kill him like she keeps doing this and all this is doing is killing and hurting Sifeng. And don't get me started on the other characters they literally are so annoying I hate all of them besides the purple fox lady and her boyfriend all the rest of them can go somewhere. But the character I hate the most would be Hao Chen this man did nothing but make the whole plotline of the story worse like his character wasn't needed. Like what really was his point of being down there in the mortal realm during her trials he wasn't there for the first 9 why for the last one. And to put that question to the side I just hated his character he literally started and was one of the main people besides the main female lead putting Sifeng in danger all for his personal gain. He talked about how he's there to help her, but really he was being selfish and because of his jealousy he tried killing Sifeng on multiple occasions. I would talk about each character individually but I'm not in the mood to do that so I will get into the acting even though I shit on this drama for being one of the worse dramas I've ever watched one thing I can say is all the actors where amazing. With my hatred for the storyline aside they really brought the show and characters to life and I feel only good actors can really make me feel the emotions of being happy to sad and angry while watching a drama. The music wasn't bad I wasn't personally paying attention to it and it had no actual impact on me personally to really talk about it. Overall I gave this drama such a low rating because it was repetitive a whole bunch of constant miss-communication and the show was predictable. Like most of the big events that were supposed to be a surprising figure out way before the part even happened. And I'm one who loves feeling being right and guessing the storyline but this show was so boring guessing it. Like every time I figured out what's going to happen, I just didn't care, and as each ep progressed the show just kept getting boring like I just didn't care about if the female and male lead ended up together. Like I really was actually hoping they wouldn't but they do I checked what happened in the end. The miss-communication parts were so annoying bc they kept repeating "I trusted you" or whatever bullshit when really this man gave her no reasons to doubt him. The whole show just wasn't for me and I don't think I will finish it I'm not saying that you yourself shouldn't watch it but it wasn't my cup of tea so yeah. In the end, I will always be a Sifeng supporter.( I just seen that I cant add 0 for the rewatch value so that's why it's so low but all in all this is a drama I will never rewatch again I wish I didn't even start the drama in the first place and to all the people who said it was like love and destiny and ashes of love ur messed up for that because this drama is nothing like those its literally a one a be show like them with a failed execution at trying to be "different" )

Never expected I will love XianXia drama after watch this drama!
I found this drama last year and heard many people gave their positive comments about it. I also know this drama is being recommended by many people. But I still hesitate to watch it because it has a very long episodes and it's a XianXia drama. I prefer Wuxia, rather than XianXia that use so many special effects or magical things, like people can fly, disappear, teleport, a life with monsters, dragons, and so on..of course it doesn't make sense in reality. Even 1 person can be shown as powerful with so many ability.Surprisingly I finally watch it to answer my curiosity and I regret that I just watch it now! I should watch it earlier!!! Let me give you top 5 reasons why you should watch this drama!
1. The chemistry between main leads (it's a bitter sweet romance yet very romantic). They are successfully describe about true love that willing to sacrifice everything for their love. They are loyal and determined, and there is no annoying third wheel.
2. The plot is very interesting, consistent, details (without loop hole of the story) and you can see the development of the story and each character from time to time. It's totally moving.. I don't even skip any part of this drama because every scene is matter. I never get bored eventhough it's 59 eps!
3. Every character is different and they have their own struggle and unique style. You will love supporting actors too, especially Teng She!
4. The title represent the main issue. It's an adventurous drama with many plot twist! I can say there is no right or wrong in each realm. They have their own good reason to protect their own realm.
5. Amazing drama ost (almost every main actors singing this drama ost and the songs are totally wonderful)
Si Feng's unyielding loyalty and love definitely come at the price of his pain. I understand why so many people call him a blood bag.. LOL.. I’m also in panic he will dead because of losing blood in the drama.. However there is always a good reason behind it. The blood spitting happened when he tried his best to protect his lover, friends and family. Also, there is no scene that make me think.. it’s impossible for him to not spitting his blood.. He always get those big attack!
Also enjoy the same excessive frequency of Male lead Blood-Spitting scene and female lead calling “Si Feng” name in every episode. After I finish the drama, Si Feng name go through my head for days. Thanks to Xuan Ji to make the name is keep ringing in our head. LOL. Xuan Ji is successfuly make us hard to move on from Si Feng. Overall.. I'm gonna miss this drama till the stage I'm gonna re-watch it. Every episode is so meaningful with bitter sweet story!
I wish to see the main leads play as couple again in other drama or season 2. But I'm a bit pessimistic after watch the different connection between Cheng Yi and Bing Yan in reality. They look very shy and affectionate with each other in the press conference and the opening show of this drama, but after getting criticized because of too many skinship, they start to avoid each other and you can see how they are trying to ignore each other in the Closing Show event (drama concert) to avoid further gossip. I feel they are losing their connection in real life because of evil comments from many netizen. Hopefully they can stay professional and still want to working together as couple again in upcoming dramas.
