Never Ending Jaw Drops
I'll start of by saying that the most impressive thing that I love about this is the CGI, the amount of work they must have put in is incredible and it really paid of. The lightning, the other magical aspects all look so REAL and beautiful; I can't even explain in words how impressed I am. So if you're a fan of the magic aspect of dramas then please have no second guesses and just jump straight in.
CHARACTERS/ACTING:
The characters and acting were on point. The casting crew truly once again fitted the actors amazingly to the role and so did the actors themselves. To the outfits, hair and makeup everyone truly came out as a masterpiece.
The acting as well, I adored the serious but comedy side of each person and how they made even the most serious emotions so enjoyable to watch.
I have to say I am truly in love with baobao... the girl is a badass and a whole mood.
STORYLINE/PLOT:
I AM IN LOVE WITH THE NON STOP MYSTERY AND TWISTS, with the constant questions to the magic and action fights every episode, they really manage to put out something new every time and I can tell you my jaw dropped constantly. Once again the comedy side was one of the main reasons I could keep going, just like a fresh gust of wind to the face which kept it refreshing.
The modern twists to the traditional side made me chuckle too, it's such a strange sight to see a Taoist just casually sitting with those colourful sneakers and an iPad in his hands but still being in the older style robe ?
loved it
Also what is the writers love of characters constantly losing limbs? Istg someone lost at least an arm every episode (°д°) was hilarious at times though haha
One thing I would like to learn more about though is Chulan before he went into the outsider world, like what happened to him going to uni? Did he drop out? Was he still going or did he just ditch? Like what happened, did he even have any friends that were like wtf did he go? Like he just kind of vanished from it apart from the slight mention in the last episode.
It isn't a huge hole in the plot or anything but more of a personal thought that I had for a majority of the time I was watching.
OVERALL STAND POINT:
Overall, I had a BLAST with this drama, you can truly not get bored with the constant bombs of story and lore being thrown at you not to mention the ending had me sobbing buckets but laughing in joy at the same time which is rare. I do have to say it gets confusing at times with just how much story and background there is, and if you miss a bit then it can go into a bit of a twist to understand; but if you follow closely and don't randomly skip parts then it isn't too much of an issue.
Will be waiting for a possible 2nd part for sure... ?
