First and foremost- I have never made a comment or review on ANYTHING I've watched here on MDL but this drama...man this drama made me feel some type of way to compel me enough to write a review.

Before I even start complaining, I want to at least shine some light to the good parts of this show. The chemistry between the actors were great and I've actually seen the other drama (Love is Sweet) that had the same main lead cast :)
The music was amazing and some of the plot was actually really entertaining to see through- especially when they went through the Bo're Life. The outfits and costumes were also just as stunning as the music and some of the visuals. Although CGI is never great in most chinese dramas- I've gotten very used to it haha but this one is not so bad to be fair compared to most!

Now let's get to the crappy part of this show. I was honestly so hyped when a teaser appeared for this show and when it fully came out, the reviews were mostly positive! So I was really excited to watch this but what I ended up getting was severe disappointment. The only reason why I was able to watch through all 40 episodes was because of the cast and the actors themselves but even then, I found myself actually SKIPPING and taking days break from this show (something I almost rarely ever do) because of how terrible it was.

The characters. God the characters...bless the actors for doing so well playing their characters but whoever wrote the script really needs to do a better job in the future because the character development was so butchered- it hurt my soul. Li Su Su constantly and I mean CONSTANTLY repeated her mistakes and didn't bother even trying to "fix" her faults till the V E R Y end which will always and forever piss me off. Tantai Jin was the only character that had decent character development throughout this show but even he had moments where he would just do the same shit like Li Su Su.
Ye Bing Chang and Xiao Lin we're honest to god a joke. Ye Bing Chang entire character felt like it was thrown under the bus so the audience had something or someone to hate when Li Su Su was literally no better than her half the time. Xiao Lin was a good man as a mortal so why did he end up being so ass when he came back as a member of an immortal sect? Pian Ran and Ye Qing Yu were the only characters that I genuinely liked :/
I actually had to try not cringing myself to death whenever I saw comments on Youtube DEFENDING Li Su Su's actions and behaviors. Yes, she's traumatized and she can't exactly just go up to Tantai Jin and say "oh hey, btw your the Devil God that's going to destroy the world from 500 years from now!" YET- her actions are NOT justified in the slightest. Especially when she literally acknowledged Tantai Jin suffering of mistreatment since basically birth and not having any love strings. So in what world did the writers think- "ah yes, her constantly ALSO mistreating Tantai Jin is a good idea!"????

And last but not least- the flow of the story. What in the cluster-f*** is this? I usually don't have a problem following the story in most drama and thankfully, I was able to understand most of it but even I could tell that the constant back and forth to the past and future can give anyone a god damn headache. And due to the butchering of character development- the flow of the story ended up being even MORE unstable than it already was.

Moral of the story- I love the actors but holy crap, this drama needs to be redone in SO many ways. For any future watchers, please be weary and don't have your hopes up like I did.
