This is the first C-drama that I have ever watched, and it has easily become one of my favorite shows of ALL TIME. I have never been so emotionally invested in a show. While on my school break, I was looking for shows to watch on Netflix, and saw this. Since I'm really into fantasy and mythology, the premise looked intriguing. I almost decided not to watch it though because it was so long (63 episodes) and my break was about to end, but I am so glad I decided to give it a try. For the past 3-5 days I have nonstop binged watched this show to the end. Every time I would try limit myself because I needed sleep since I had to work, I just could not do it. So I made it my goal to finish it before my break ended because I knew I would neglect school work to watch it. The show is so amazing, I can't even use words to describe it. From the amazing visual, CGI, and costumes, to the intricate characters and their phenomenal actors, to the heart wrenching and unforgettable plot. Ya'll I'm just so in love with this show. I literally made an account just so I could rate and write a review of it. And I literally just finished watching the show and am probably gonna re-watch it today. This is the type of show where you just can't stop until you're finished, it's long but so worth it; because when you're watching it, it doesn't seem long at all and you actually start to dread the day when you finish the show.There are just so many different elements to it, it's an adventure story, a love story, a tragedy, it is literally an epic. I am in love with Xufeng, but I am more in love with Xufeng and Jimni. Oh my gosh, when I tell you this show plays with your feelings ya'll; I laughed, I cried (and balled), I got angry, I got sad, I got fearful (**SPOILER**of a tragic ending, which thankfully it was not), and I got happy. 1000000/10 recommend AOL to everybody, I've been telling my friends, and my family to watch this show, and I'll keep preaching it to the heavens. This one of those shows where you forgot that it's a show because you get sucked into the world. There are only a few shows (from any country/genre) that have been able to do this to me, so my love for this is so great that the only thing that could equal it is Jimni and Xufeng's love.
P.S/Update: I have watched this drama three times all the way through already, and I still can't get enough
