No fillers, jealousies or manufactured misunderstandings together with well paced action and beautiful main couple whats not to like?

The general, Ling Chang Feng. is a walking green flag. I loved this character he displays courage and loyalty and is willing to go against the rules and his father to protect his wife. His attitude, when she is pregnant, is exemplary and the empathy he portrays is heartwarming.

His wife, Tang Qian Yue, also displays wonderful traits. She is willing to undergo a dreadful 'cure' to remain by his side and chooses to risk her life to enable their child to be born.

Watching their daily interactions and the concern they feel for each other cements their marriage as a true love match.
Of course the story is not just about their sweetness and with the supernatural element, clever dreamlike visuals, great cinematography and SFX create an otherworldly atmosphere. Their is an interesting second couple, great support characters and a complementary OST.
