A nice wuxia drama without the usual tragical ending


With long dramas, I usually get bored and skip a few episodes, but with this one, it wasn't the case.
Even though the storyline isn't that amusing, it somehow kept me intrigued and didn't make me want to skip some parts of episodes.

Story:
Is a pretty simple multiverse (?) travel drama, with an antihero as ML.
I would've liked it better if they somehow intertwined her original timeline with the one she was in.
They didn't explain much about the machine or the "time travel" thing or her time and I was expecting more about it. The only premise we have is the one that is in the synopsis, which they reveal in the first episode, nothing more. But I guess is because they just wanted to focus on her journey to learning what true love is. It's interesting how her character develops from her idealization of "love" and "the one" to reality and why it's better than immortality. Like this, they just made justice to the title of the drama. It actually makes sense and is a bit profound.

Acting:
The acting was amazing. I must agree with most of the people here that Qiuyue stole the show. I knew about him through this show and I must say he is so freaking talented. Plus breathtakingly handsome, which made me want to keep watching him. Hahah!

About Lusi, this was also the first drama I watched of her and I loved her. Can't wait to see more of her dramas.

Ending:
It was a happy-okay ending. It could've been better, but according to the story, it was okay. It's not like those ones where you feel you wasted your time watching the drama.

Overall:
If you want to enjoy the world of wuxia without the tragic ending, this is your cup of tea.
Somehow light hearted romance with your typical antihero that wouldn't help but loving.
But if you're here because of the "time travel" thing, welp, go look for another one cause this is ain't it.
