One of the Best Drama in 2021

it is rare for me to write a review for each drama that i watched so i'm gonna write a review for this one. first of all, let's talk about the acting and oh boys prob to Liang Jie and Steven Zhang for their phenomenal acting, they can portrayed each other's character out so well, even to the smallest detailed. the chemistry between the lead was amazing despite both of the actors are working together for the first time and i can feel "Couple Feel" from them and their kissing scene was intense as well.

the story: the story is really great, it's about each of the character growth and they're portrayed it so well, i like how Jiang Yi come to term with his mother and finally embrace his mother again and i loved how Yu Sheng Sheng grow in this drama as well, and able to stay by Jiang Yi side and help Jiang Yi through his difficulty including his reconciliation with his mother. i'm a guy and that's scene nearly brought me to tear tbh.

Overall, i enjoyed this drama and i would rewatched it over and over again because that's how good it is. I hope that Liang Jie and Steven Zhang would get another project together again as a main lead, they're really good together.

The Most Unique Xianxia out there

okay i'm gonna to write my new Favourite Xianxia Drama of all time, Sorry Ten Mile of Peach Blossom. Anyway, as i said in the title, this drama is the most unique Xianxia drama out there. it's does not follow the typical Xianxia Drama of going through a love trials as a mere mortal to become more powerful etc. this drama stayed in the Fantastically realm of Immortals, Deities and Demons, it's a beautiful pieces of the drama and one that made me eagerly waiting for the upcoming episode however impatient, I decided to bought the fast track episode to watched another episode of this addictive drama. Ok! let's get into the review shall we?

STORY:
the Story is all about the love trial between Shang Gu, the Chief God of Chaos and Bai Jue, the God of Fire and the God of Wars. It's teach us about responsibility and self-sacrifice for your love one to leave in peace, however backfire due to the fact that the one that left behind hurt the most due to missing someone that been sacrificing themselves for the greater good of all realm.

From Episode 1 to 16, although the story is a bit slow due to the fact that they focused the character growth of Shang Gu and her growing Chaos Power as well as her responsibility as a Chief God of Chaos to sacrificing herself for the Good of all realms, and her growing initial relationship between her and Bai Jue, the Male Protagonist of the story, from Master-Disciple Relationship to Romantic Relationship and their growing closeness with one another as well as showing the bond the four true gods had for one another and many esteem gods that close with the main character. after episode 16 onward, the story started to pick it up begun the Immortal Age, the aftermath of first Tribulation of Chaos where Chief God Shang Gu sacrifice herself to save all realms from ragnarok-like scenario. during the Immortal Age, we have Hou Chi, the mature and hard working individual in contrast to Shang Gu whose more carefree compare to Hou Chi and her journey to become stronger but eventually had to awaken something inside of her and you guess it, Shang Gu's dormant spirit. During her Tribulation, she met with Qing Mu (Bai Jue's other half) and fallen in love with one another but knowing they weren't meant for one another, they prevail and had a wedding ceremony at the end, however circumstance arise and the awaken of Bai Jue cause the two to be seperate and eventually due to that, she's become heartbroken, Gu Jun had to awaken Shang Gu in Hou Chi and thus Shang Gu appear and begun to stabbed Bai Jue in the chest and started to hate him later on. As for Bai Jue, he doing what he can to make her stayed away from him and to make her hated him, taken part of her memory so that she can be carefree without worry so that he can sacrifice his life in order to stopped his beloved's destiny. in the end, his sacrifice impact everyone the most especially Shang Gu and their son Yuanqi and everyone around him including Tianqi and Zhi Yang.

Overall, this story teach us about love, Friendship, hardship, circumstance, responsibility that we're uphold and self-sacrifice for the better good of all realms, but it has flaw despite sacricing yourselves for the better good of all realm, your death is impacted the most toward those who loved you and care for you and waiting for you to return and a heart breaking one.

CAST:
the cast are fantasy, they had chemistry with each other, each character portrayed each character well.
1. Xu Kai: he portrayed Bai Jue really Well, due to Bai Jue's cold demeanour, there is warmness in him as you can tell be his s subtile smile and small expression and Xu Kai nailed that part. i see no-one who is a better Bai Jue than Xu Kai himself and Xu Kai's portrayal of Qingmu was also great as well, while as being Qingmu, Xu Kai's expression are more free compare to his portrayal as Bai Jue and overall, i enjoyed his performance.
2. Zhou Dong Yu: many had criticised her look but she's portrayed Shang Gu and Hou Chi perfectly. Zhou Dong Yu had that charm, that can attracted you toward her, her smile is contagious as hell which is a good thing, when she's smile, i begun to developed feeling of Euphoria everything she's show her bright smiles. as expected from Zhou Dong Yu, who is known as a big screen actress can portrayed any roles she had because that's how good she is.
3. Liu Xie Yi: seriously this man can act. i hated him in Love and redemption but i absolutely love him as Tianqi in this drama. his portrayal as Tianqi is top notch as well, i couldn't see anyone can portrayed Tianqi better than him.
4. Zhang Jia Ni: she's a great actress that can portrayed a character that people hate really well, but not for me because i like her. she's portrayed as the sinister, selfish and power hungry Wu Huan really well as she can switch from being innocent and timid individual from the first 16 episode to the conniving, power hungry Wu Huan in the later half of the Drama, prop to her.
5. every cast are really good with their portrayed as their character, i applaud to them.

CGI:
Ancient Love Poetry had the best CGI in all the Xianxia drama coming out this years or last few years. the fighting scene, the magical spell, the landscape of each realm including the heavenly immortal realm, the magnificent God Realm and the lower immortal realm, they all look really great.

OST:
the Music is really great and many song can give you melancholic feel to it, my own personal most favourite OST is "Nian Sui" by Mao Bu Yi, and as expected by Mao Bu Yi, he can convey perfect message within the lyric and ever feeling of the song, i personally like Nian Sui the most compare to other many OST within this drama.

REWATCHING VALUE:
Definitely! you should rewatched this again, it's so addictive and engaging

OVERALL:
this drama is by far the best Xianxia Drama of the decade and i enjoyed every episode, every scene of this drama, sorry Love and Redemption, Sorry Ten Mile of Peach Blossom and Sorry Ashes of Love. This drama had finally won me over and now i named this drama "my Personal Best Xianxia drama of the Decades", however the only flaw of this drama is that the End seem a bit rashes and their reunion are so short like 3 minute only, what the hell? this drama should has 50 episode instead of 49 so that we can had one special episode about Bai Jue and Shang Gu being together again with their children practicing spells and playing and stuff, that could be great, but overall, i enjoyed the drama every bit of it. 10/10 would recommend
