Story/Plotline I really have high expectations for this drama as this drama have Leo Yunxi, Yukee, and Tingwei (i love them in AOL). Before start discussing about acting, first the story! The idea was there, the first early ep really excites me to watched and i really want to know what will happen after but when you reached at the middle, the story become dragging and a bit boring. There are no excitement even in their love story. Maybe bcos of the directing or the writer do not have fresh idea on how to make the story more exciting. I dont know how many time that Xhuezi save Tou or Tou save Xhuezi cuz it just repeating until the end. Even at the end of the drama, Tou decided to lie to her after all life death experience. Like wth bro! And the story is mainly about their love and martial arts world againts Lord Lu. The flow of story is clear and good. Maybe i expect more about the storyline that i felt a bit exhausted with the drama.
Acting/Actor
Leo Yunxi did great in this drama. I think he is the one who carried out the drama. I love his acting, his flirts, his tears, his smile and his action. He really show he work hard on these. He is damn beautiful. Because of him, i stay put till the end (im always prefer strong storyline). Yukee Chan is good but i think she need to practise hard. I love her crying scene (my heart breaks when she threat Tou to jump off the cliff and when Muyuan dead). But her martial arts skill really lacking as she supposed to be the strongest among all. Her expression in some scene too. When Yunxi and Yukee did their romantic scene, she so awkward. And through out the story, her character seems weak. I wish her character is firm. I think she can do better. Tingwei, our Muyuan gege, he is good. He know what he want to potrayed. He firm with his acting. I love him and Yunxi whenever they at same scene. The heart talk at last ep, they both really respected each other. I wish he not died. Whyyy?????? In AOL, he died too. Huuuu. The villain is good but too cute. Lord Lu really play a big part. But i wish he is more evil.
Ost/Music background
For me, all the osts are super nice. They have a very good song and they used the ost well in the drama. But, i do have some problem with the background music in some scenes. I know they put music to make the scene more lively or whatnot but they do exaggerated it.
Cg/Costumes
Moon Valley is hella beautiful! Winehouse Fairyland too! Other place looks dull but its okay. Accepted. The cgi on fighting scene also pretty decent. Their costumes are repeated through out the drama, its okay, it nice too watch but i wish they have more costumes.
Overall, the drama is good. Story is a bit dull but still worth to watch. The romantic scene is good. The cheesy line is my favorite. The fighting scene is well conducted. The ending is great. Happily ever after.

The casting is a bit problem here i think! The lead was a bit weak. Even side role is far more better. They are not really bad though just i felt they should done more better because the STORY WAS REALLY GREAT! A bit disappointed but overall still watchable and enjoyable. I like Liu Mubai character a lot and the actor who did it is excellent. He succeeds in potray the changes in him and how he still have clear conscious at the end. N somehow i secretly felt, he should be the lead. Mu Chen did it well too but he should done better as his role is SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT! Other actors done well too especially all the teachers and Mr. Mu of course.
The CGI and environment was nice and beautiful too but i still think there are few parts can be improved especially when Mu Chen gain great power at the end. The Ost is great btw. I like because it kind of different from other ancient/fantasy drama.
Overall the drama is really great and worth to watch. Even though there are some disappointment at few part (as i should felt they should do better), but the show is enjoyable.
