Very Entertaining Drama
Very entertaining & youthful version of Xianxia drama - that's the highlight of The Last Immortal. Xianxia drama had lost its popularity among younger audience and The Last Immortal will bring back GenZ Audience back to this genre.The drama has a youthful appeal & even CGI visual effects also adds to the overall young audience vibe.
Loved some of the funny interpretation of Xianxia they have included .
Very good drama and it has a big re-watch value . That's another plus point which I saw in The Last Immortal. Giving it 10/10 since this drama is Xianxia 2023 .

A fantasy drama like no other, must watch!
Really loving this fantasy drama, a story between the young immortal gods, both main leads are still naively young but Ayin is smarter. It doesn't start with some romance but it'll progress how the main leads had to work and support each other inorder to release them from master/servant contract bestowed towards them. And of course both are not happy about the situation but this is where their destiny with fun and adventure begins.The first 4 episodes is about Ayin meeting Gu Yin for the first time and already this is hilarious with Gu Yin accidentally killing the 2nd phoenix before even meeting her ; then later he found a water beast egg that a part of Feng Yin scattered soul went inside the egg .... I love how A Yin despite being only a water beast she actually plays an important part of Gu Yin's development of his power. Gu Yin is too naive and makes you wanna smack him for his gullibility. While Ayin got a good heart to heal others as well as too smart with a good for his own good, she could tell from what is bad and good. There are already some signs of feelings development after Ep5 and it seems Ayin fall for him first and Gu Yin despite showing signs of emotions may not realize it so soon.. With the first 8 episodes you can watch now in Wetv, the story is already captivating with interesting story lines between the Yin, a diligent Shuining Beast, and Gu Jin, son of the true God whose magic power was sealed . How they will overcome their predicament will show in each episodes with how things are developing and it'll get more interesting! just can't wait to see more of the episodes!
As for the main leads, ZhaoLusi truly delivers a brilliant acting in her role here as a smart and innocent water beast, Ayin with her original cute voice; then changes to Feng Ayin for a more matured demeanor character worthy of a princess... Wang Anyu also suits well in his role as the naive and powerless immortal god, it seems he really portrayed his acting well when you just hated this guy for being lazy, naive and happy go lucky LOL he did well i think ... i hope he wakes up and realize his true feeling towards Ayin soon....
As for the CGI I do believe that it was brilliant and amazingly well done, the back drop and scenery is quite vivid and colorful depicting the three realms; luv the heavenly setting the most of course but also having light cgi is good not because of low budget but sometimes simplicity is best, like the one in the death realm with only purple flowers and darkness around nothing to exagerate about after all this is xianxia.

Expected to much for nothing
Story started confusing with dumping characters. No natural flow of story and plot.First 2 episodes acting is no up to standard . If Fairytales is geared toward family watching then it should not have intimacy that is not proprietary for families with children. For the adults Fairytales is just too boring. Drama focuses on nice outfits rather than on story. Some of introducing videos are on border of being totally inappropriate full of flirting and intimacy, focusing on individuals rather than a drama that they promote. From actors profiles expected more

NOT MY CUP of TEA
This drama is way too serious.Give me a break, I only watch stuff to be entertained not to see the male lover murder his female partner and repeat ad nauseum via reincarnation. *Rolls eyes* Journey of Chongzi, I'm looking at ya!
Light-hearted stuff like The Melee Mage, and Fights Break Sphere (2023) I highly approve. Depressing, sad, overly melodramatic crap like Fights Break Sphere (2018), The King's Avatar, The Longest Promise, and The Last Immortal can all go to hell!
The reason I'm even giving this 3 stars instead of 1 because kudos it's Tencent visual effects magic.
The other thing I didn't like the FL lead is too strong, the story is SOLELY about her. Here the ML is just her accessory! I hate this kind of crap. BUT if we look at Princess Agents, the story was very much about the ML as much as the FL. Zhao Liying is the only female lead I highly approve for female-centric dramas because her TV series always give importance to the ML as well! Zhao Lusi and co can all go to hell. I swear I will never watch another Xiao Zhan nor Zhao Lusi drama ever again...

Hope if gets better
I have watched 3 episodes so far. It is definitely entertaining to watch and light hearted, which means there will be some heart breaking scenes to come. I have seen multiple dramas of ZLS and find her to be very funny and not afraid to be herself. However whenever she plays the innocent, playful girl, she likes to pinch her voice. Not a fan, maybe that's what innocent sounds like to some people but it just sound fake.ML'S acting is okay as well. Hopefully it gets better! I'm not sure but some actors doesn't even attempt to move when flying. They just stand there with arms open and everything else is done by the crew. The back drop also looks VERY fake.

Here hoping that it won't traumatize me as much as Ancient Love Poetry did.
I have been wanting to watch this drama for a while because I'm always curious about the next one in the series, be it books or dramas. Ancient Love Poetry started out nice but it was traumatizing by the end, so I didn't immediately watch this one. I know that this one is another trauma in the making since the ML didn't exactly have stellar parents.Ep 1: Wasn't expecting to like the ML since I have only seen one scene where he destroys the FL (on YouTube), so was surprised to see him be a likable character. The graphics are not that good, I have seen better in Starry Love & Immortal Samsara. The Phoenix Queen Feng Yin seemed so damn fragile that her immortal essence was destroyed due to a little trespassing. Hua Shu's character behaved as I expected her to, so no surprises there.
Ep 2: Ah Yin is so adorable in all her forms. The little water beast reminds me of the little white snake from the "The destiny of White Snake" I wonder what happened to the second water beast that went unnoticed. The entire episode was Ah Yin doing her best to kill Gu Jin in all her adorable ways. In her defense, he was planning on eating her just like a certain grape fairy was planning to eat a phoenix thinking it was a crow that could get her powers.
Ep 3 to Ep 5: Gu Jin is so damn naive. Him handing over such a powerful artifact to the peacock is an example of how he shouldn't have been given the responsibility. Ah Yin who's barely a few years old can identify crafty people, but Gu Jin is just not bright. I would have liked the peacock if she was a worthy villain, but she was nice to Ah Yin only until she found out that there was a Master-Servant pact between Gu Jin & Ah Yin. Once she discovered that, she thought of Ah Yin as nothing more than a servant and decided to treat her lower than dirt. Yeah, so not a move a powerful woman makes.
Ep 6 to Ep 10: Gu Jin is really a dummy. He just gets swayed so easily. His elder brothers told him that he should go propose to the peacock and he goes there with that intention as well. If only he hadn't overheard or seen her with the other guy, he would still have went through with it, only to realize much later that he is being used. Anyways, now that he knows that he was used he said goodbye to the peacock and has started wondering why he keeps thinking about Ah Yin so randomly. I like Ah Jiu, he is a bit smarter than the ML and more perceptive of FL's feelings to which the ML is really blind. While I ship him with Ah Yin, I also think he and Yan Shuang make a great couple.
Ep 11 to Ep 15: The aunt Hong Chou with her sense of superiority is getting on my nerves. I'm watching this on YouTube and someone in the comments said that all the people interfering are the reason the calamity exists, left on their own Gu Jin & Ah Yin would have done well together. The one trope that I absolutely hate is the amnesia trope, the only time amnesia worked in favor of the leads was Forget You Remember Love (2020), and even with that the guy was an ass once he got his memory back. I get that it wasn't a complete memory wipe but it just wiped away Gu Jin's emotional ties to Ah Yin, which is plain to see as he acts much more detached from the way he was with Ah Yin before he realized how he felt about her. It is sad to watch as Ah Yin has been the one who has struggled the most with their feelings in the relationship. She was the one who fell first & had to keep it under the wraps because he was into someone else. Once he realized his feelings for her, they didn't even get to spend much time together before his affections was cut off by outside forces, again leaving Ah Yin into one-sided love. And the worst is yet to come.
Ep 16 to Ep 20: Hong Chou needs to stop making decisions for Gu Jin. She has always treated Ah Yin lower than dirt so there isn't much to like about her character. I loved how the peacock was scared of the underworld king & tried to frame Ah Yin. What a calculative woman. Lan Feng has weird taste in women, he knows what the peacock is and still loves her. At least the peacock has some feelings for Lan Feng, thanks god for that otherwise the poor guy would have been stuck in the one-sided mess. Gu Jin has really lost his marbles deciding to cut of Ah Yin in such a brutal way, no points to you. He could have lessened the blow but then who cares about Ah Yin's feelings, let's make one-sided decision for her. Well Ah Yin's life is about to end, so I wonder what could be the cause. Gu Jin possibly blaming her for being a calamity. (Makes me want to punch him)
Ep 21 to Ep 25: Gu Jin is fool. He isn't half as good, a just, or talented as Lan Feng was. Even though Lan Feng loved the peacock he still made sane decisions. Gu Jin just let things get to him and destroyed Ah Yin in the process. He overlooked her since he regretted his choice to refine the pill for her, otherwise he would have been able to save Daze mountain. He forgot that Ah yin was also going through the same. Although he brought about the death of his own woman, at least he is a little bit better than his father Bai Jue.
Ep 26 to Ep 40: By the end of the drama, I finally understood why Gu Jin did things the way he did, but I do not agree with them. He made decisions to change the course of their relationship, claiming that he did it for not just the sect but also for her. It doesn't change the fact that it led to a lot of miscommunication causing Ah Yin to be treated poorly. But again, he was much better at the relationship then his father ever was. I actually Gu Jin once I discovered the complexities of his plan. The Da Ze Mountain sect was filled with lovely people who accepted everyone and didn't judge. They also looked after Gu Jin so much and took care of him without harming him or inflicting any kind of abuse or neglect (same cannot be said for his parents). So making a choice between Ah Yin and them was not possible. What's more Ah Yin was also part of the sect. Regardless of the peacock's sacrifice in the end, it was just not possible to like her. She did one right thing that could have may be been avoided had she had some moral compass to begin with.
There were two reasons I avoided watching this drama, one was my dislike my Bai Jue and the way he treated Hou Chi. The second was, I read a comment implying that it had an open ending. Nope, the ending was good. Of course, I wouldn't have minded more happy scenes after he came back to life but who cares, they are both alive.

Zhao LuSi, las cosas que hago por amor
No me voy a explayar mucho.La serie no me gustó principalmente porque la trama parecía medio tirada de los pelos, por todos lados. Toca muchas cosas superficialmente, increíblemente cliché. Los personajes fueron bastante planos y sin desarrollo durante toda la serie. La terminé únicamente por fanatismo.
Cumplió con entretenerme y tener buenos efectos especiales en la mayoría de los casos, pero el guión dejó bastante que desear.
Fue mi primera vez viendo actuar a Wang Anyu, no me desagradó y espero verlo en alguna otra serie con mejor trama.

ni mauvais, ni bon...
Critique en mode supra fainéante....1 : L'Histoire ne casse pas 3 pattes à un canard.... l'intrigue n'est pas mauvais mais loin d'être exceptionnelle.
2 : La romance.... Elle est sympathique et aurait pu juste être une romance sympa jusqu'au bout, mais le scénariste a eu la malencontreuse idée de nous ressortir le bon vieux "je t'aime donc je me sacrifie pour toi, mais comme tu ne le sais pas, tu vas me haïr à mort, mais ce n'est pas grave, par ce qu'au final je t'aime quand même donc je me décide à te courir de nouveau après en te suppliant de bien vouloir me pardonner (tout en te cachant quand même tous mes sacrifices) "...bref, la dernière partie vous donne la migraine....
3 : les méchants.....heu.....rien à dire si ce n'est stupide/méchant/et pas très profond....le trio gagnant quoi.
4 : des rôles secondaires adorables et une romance secondaire qui vole un peu la vedette à nos protagonistes...si ce n'est encore une fois une dernière partie qui donne la migraine " je t'aimais à en mourir, prête à ne jamais t'avoir, vu que tu aimes ma best pote depuis le début, mais au final je ne veux plus t'aimer donc tant qu'à faire autant être la plus vache possible".... Et pourtant, je les soutenais depuis le début...
5 : Si vous m'avez déjà lu, vous savez peut-être que Lu Si est une des mes actrices préférées.... mais pas ici, pas dans ce drama. Et, Wang An Yu n'est pas mauvais, mais il n'a définitivement pas la carrure pour porter sur ses épaules le rôle du fils d'un dieu puissant....on n'y croit pas une seule seconde et l'alchimie entre nos deux tourtereaux loin d'être d'une passion folle et intense ( en même temps je sors traumatisée par "Kunning palace" et "lost ou forever"...), ne réussi pas à nous faire sourire ou à nous émouvoir...
Bref, un drama qui fait passer le temps, rien de plus.

The last immortal
Drama Xianxia pertama Zhao lusi, jujur jadi berharap banget di drama ini.Untuk akting cast The Last Immortal overall good Zhao Lusi yang bisa kasih lihat ke penonton perbedaan dari perannya sebagai Ayin dan Fengyin mulai dari mimik wajah, suara dan sikap. Selanjutnya untuk Wang Anyu yang berperan sebagai Gujin cocok banget sih dari sikapnya yang childish, masa bodo dan ga ada tujuan sebagai dewa oke banget nyebelinnya dapet di awal2 episode sampai dia jadi Yuan Qi kita bisa ngerasain dia yang semakin dewasa dan punya tujuan hidup yang lebih besar yaitu mau nyelamatin org2 sekitar dia dan Ayin. Untuk Li Yun Rui peran tengil dari Ajiu pun dapet banget sama juga dengan Jia Nai akting dia pas adegan Ayin yang mau dipunish Yuan Qi berkesan banget ngedukung scene jadi semakin sedih.
Tapi jujur aja kalau acting cast2nya udah oke tapi hal2 lainnya gak mendukung jadi sayang banget ga sih?
1. Cerita
Semenjak drama china sekarang max hanya 40 eps jadi bakal banyak scene2 yang akan dipotong. Tapi jujur banyak banget scene2 yang ga penting dpet durasi yang lama like WHY? Bahkan scene2 dari character yang ga penting2 banget. Di beberapa eps terakhir keliatan banget rush nya padahal dari segi cerita unik dan okee banget.
2. CGI dan editing
Berhubung ini drama Xianxia CGI tentunya jadi main focus juga disini. Sedih sih keliatan banget produksinya buru2 banget keliatan ga profesional CGI dan juga pemilihan scene yg mau ditampilin aneh. Kalau diliat dari BTS drama banyak scene2 yang harusnya bisa terlihat bagus tapi di drama jadi biasa banget :(.
3. Wide angle shot
Aneh banget karena keliatan beberapa kali tim produksi suka ambil shot dari angle jauh contoh wktu perang antara klan merak dan elang, di shot angle jauh jadi keliatan banget sedikit org nya padahal lagi perang 2 klan.
Untuk OST bagus ga ada masalah enak enak semua. Ending dramanya pun masih oke dan Happy ending :).

konfliknya cukup bikin greget, sama kek kisah cinta karakternya
The Last Immortal adalah Xianxia pertama gue.terus terang nonton ini karena kepo sama project Lusi yang lain setelah gue suka banget sama peran Lusi di Hidden Love.
CGI nya cakep banget sih menurut gue, mungkin karena gue baru pertama kali ya nonton ginian jadi bisa dibilang lumayan memanjakan mata. Tapi ada beberapa scene yang gue sayangkan kurang halus ngedit nya, mulai dari dialog atau adegan karakter yang tiba-tiba udah pindah aja.
Acting dari tiap karakter udah oke banget sih, cara mereka menyampaikan emosi di tiap dialognya bisa tersampaikan dengan baik ke gue sebagai penonton.
Buat kostum dan hairstyle TJAKEPPP PARAHH, gue suka banget ❤️ gue berasa kek lagi liat karakter game dengan baju dewa dewi beneran :))
Konfliknya lumayan banget lah, gak yang berat banget dan gak yang ringan banget. lagi-lagi ada beberapa adegan yang masih bikin gue bertanya-tanya sampe selesai :")
gue rada suka tapi rada kesel dikit sama karakter An Yu disini, karakternya tuh kek cowo cowo Tsundere.
Romantis? Yang ada nimbulin kesalahpahaman mulu _-_
karakter Lu Si juga tegas sih disini, cuman dia keras kepala banget, coba mau dengerin penjelasan dari awal pasti ga akan merembas ke mana-mana _-_ ya tapi gue juga ga nyalahin karakter Lu Si 100% kok, intinya tetep karakter An Yu yang salah T_T
OST nya enak-enak, apalagi yang "Flower Wish" ❤️
Buat endingnya manis sih tapi rada pait dikit....
KEK..... WHY KALIAN CUMAN GITU DOANG, PADAHAL GUE UDAH MENUNGGU SEKIAN PURNAMA AELAH T_T
Rewatch? ga deh, gue masih kurang puas sama ending nya T_T
Sekian review dari gue!
THANKYOU buat yang udah baca :)

Imi plac toate personajele, cum sunt scrise si cum actorii le-au dat viata. A YIN easte atat de dragalasa, de pura, inocenta incat este imposibil sa nu o iubesti. O viata scurta, plina de regrete, dureroasa, nemeritata nu a reusit sa schimbe felul bun de-a fi al micii bestii de apa. Acest personaj ii vine ca o manusa lui Zhao LuSi, cumva imprumuta mult din trasaturile reale ale actritei.
Am asteptat cu nerabdare ca phoenixul sa se nasca, sa-si pedepseasca dusmanii, sa-si poata ierta iubitul, sa iubeasca si sa fie fericita...si nu am fost dezamagita
Pentru mine, The Last Immortal nu este o alta xianxia, este atat de diferita de ce am vazut pana acum.
Este revigorant sa vezi ca un tanar God poate fi atat de credul, lenes si nechibzuit in adolescenta :). Este tulburator sa vezi alegerile pe care le face, prins intre responsabilitate si dragoste.
Pana la urma, The Last Immortal este povestea unei prime iubiri, cu frumusetea, inocenta si neintelegerile ei, o iubire care transcende timpul, care creste, pretuita pana la sacrificiul de sine
The Last Immortal este o poveste despre prietenie, loialitate, sacrificiu, lupta pentru putere, lacomie, despre cat trebuie sa lupti, despre cum binele invinge raul.
Daca va plac povestile frumoase, care pretuiesc adevaratele valori, aceasta drama este pentru dumneavoastra! As adauga doar ca aceasta drama are cele mai multe si mai frumoase costume pe care le-am vazut vreodata intr-o drama chinezeasca!
