Satisfied Audience Here :)
I actually put off watching this drama for months, and I'm so glad I finally finished it weeks ago. Well, despite some negative critics on the review section, of how they got bored..this and that...This is my opinion so for me, this is worth watching.
STORY
IT WAS GREAT. The plot grandeur I was looking for was there, the concept, the right amount of phasing, and the exact emotions. I cried buckets on 40th episode onwards, had to pause several times to pull myself together and rearrange my emotions. But of course, the drama has also several romantic scenes and bits that's definitely gonna make you smile like an idiot. ;) This had a happy ending, but I wished they added a few more scenes where Bai Jue and Shanggu enjoyed their time together with their son and the rest of the gang. And allowed at least 1 episode interval before they skipped 60,000 years in the future where both leads were reborn. It was a bit hurried for me when they did it right away on the next episode.
ACTING
The leads did justice to their characters, Xu Kai nailed all his four personas. But I really liked his Qingmu role better. Don't get me wrong, Bai Jue is so majestic and you can feel the sincerity as well from him towards Shanggu but he's a bit more reserved. As for the FL....well her acting is fine, except for her Houchi character. I know she's meant to be compared to Shanggu the chief god but, the writer could have at least thrown in a bit of Shanggu's personality in her. I dunno, she's so nerfed in that version.
I liked Tianqi too, his character gave a solid foundation for Shanggu to have someone as dedicated as Bai Jue to be relied on. He proved to be a true ally and a real friend. In dramas, its always good to have characters like Tianqi who did not really turned against them. Not at all impressed by Wuhuan's character. She's a walking red flag from the moment she showed up.
MUSIC
Okay. No words to describe. I added it to my Spotify playlist. So epic and always gave me goosebumps. Glad they chose Zhou Shen as one of the OST singers.
REWATCH VALUE
Definitely yes. Already downloaded the series!
OVERALL
I would recommend this. Its like the prequel story long before the worlds of Ten Miles of Peach Blossom and Eternal Love of Dream. The existence of the god realm that predates all others. Congratulations to the cast and entire crew cause this was a hit overseas. Xu Kai is sooo right for this drama.
