Excellent drama. If you are into Chinese fantasy drama, I would highly recommend it. Of course, the handsome Liu Xue Yi was also a major attraction - good looking and acts well. He is a heavenly emperor once again, one with good intent but rather muddled. As the drama is progressing, it does look like he is going to be the rejected lover as well. Hope to see more of him as a main lead.

Overall, the story is interesting. Although we knew who the God of War was very early into the drama, we are yet to know the full reason it was cast down to earth as a mortal and the previous relation with Hao Chen. The story slowly unfolds and keeps you wondering of the outcomes especially whether XuanJi would eventually end up with SiFeng in this life or would she regain her memory of her previous lives and choose Hao Chen again.

It seems a lot of ideas of heaven - heavenly emperor (DiJun), XiMing, 9th heaven, God of War etc - came from its predecessors, however the story follows its own thread. But of course, I took a point off the story for originality.

Ending was interesting and rather unexpected. The relationship between the God of War and the Demon Star was revealed.

Music was lovely and I got to like it more and more as the drama progresses. I watched it concurrently with 'And the Winner is Love' and 'Noble Aspiration' while waiting for the episodes to be released and this definitely stood out among the three.

Although I would not place it in the ultra top league as The Untamed, Ten Mile Peach Blossom and Nirvana in Fire, it is nevertheless very well produced and certainly deserves a place among the top league.
