Good light-hearted fantasy drama - safe for kids to watch too (NO Spoilers)

A nice light-hearted fantasy drama with comedic moments. I avoided this drama at the beginning as I thought the first few minutes were cliche with poor acting. However, I got suckered in by those YouTube clips and wanted to see what it was all about. I put Xu Kai's "Ancient Love Poetry" on hold over this. I finished this drama in 3 days.

This drama reminds me of "Oh! My Emperor" style feel. Light-hearted. Short episodes. Plenty of comedic moments. Nothing too serious or overly dramatic. The plot was decent. It had the typical usual magical items to conveniently heal whoever gets injured or needs it to grow stronger. It was fun to see the FL from "Dragon Saber" and the supporting ML from "The Untamed" in this show.

It touches upon timeless love and friendship too. My young kids liked watching some parts of it too, especially the cool magical battles and comedy moments. Whenever they see little kids in the show all dressed up in traditional outfits, it definitely captures their attention. The set design looked nice too. Lots of food moments that made me hungry. They need to make these pastries in Chinese Bakeries so I can try some!

I really enjoyed the CGI moments, it was pretty good for a TV Show. The cinematography was impressive with interesting camera angles. Costumes looked good too. Acting was so-so, it was either stiff or over-acted. Still believe Zu Zan Jin from "The Untamed" did the best in this show. All the actors are beautiful with flawless make-up.

As usual, we kept watching even though it got somewhat dry towards the end but we wanted to watch how it will all end. I won't give away any spoilers but I think it's worth watching to the end.
