I don't know what to do with my life anymore ><
"I must protect this world, because only when the three realms remain can you continue to exist." Ying Yuan (Ep 59) - This line itself depicts how amazing it is!!!!!I started this right after i finished watching LLTG and honestly I didn't think I would end up liking it because it's either a go or a no for me when it comes to xianxia. I started this because i'm a huge fan of both cheng yi and yang zi and starting this masterpiece was the best thing that happened to me.
YY and YD went through a lot and midway i was almost gonna drop out it just because i couldn't continue to see them suffering and not having proper time as an official couple. But honestly, this was just good. Simply an amazing drama that should be rated more than a 8.1. I absolutely loved the story, I have screamed through it, cried through it, almost burned the tv and most of all i yearned for a YY and a YM in my life. The acting was top notch and although i felt the story line was kinda draggy in some parts, and some facts made it bad, the acting made every problem seems non-existent.
This is either a hit or a miss and if you loved Love and Redemption, Ashes of Love, LLTG, Love between a fairy and a devil and even The Untamed, I highly recommend you to give just the first episode a try and then after 60 hours later you would cry because you binge watched and now can't feel anything.
This is a roller-coaster ride and it's exactly that. There are more downs than ups and sometimes it was frustrating enough for me to literally scream and throw away the remote. I cried so hard after watching the EP 59 and I would've burned or sent letter to youku if they didnt give the special two episodes, which made meso happy and smiley that my mom thought i was finally going crazy.
All i'm saying is, although the green screen is not exactly realistic compared to other xianxia dramas, and even if you like the genre, just watch it because you WON'T REGRET watching it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna ugly cry in a corner until i find something just like this, that made me feel things that i haven't felt in a long time and comforted me when my family is on the verge of breaking apart.
HATS OFF to the entire cast and i know it might be a lot to ask but hoping for a modern drama starring cheng yi and yang zi because they had so much chemistry!!!!!! Can't wait for the new dramas of CY and YZ!!!!!
