A good enough, ultimately average watch if you are starved for Xianxias
Great CGI, great OST, great performance by it's cast, and a romance that one will at least not hate. However, the interesting and well-paced first half of the story that tried to show defiance towards clichés takes a nose dive in the second half with plot-holes, trope-filled predictability, and drag. Not to mention, an unsatisfying end to wrap it all up. Definitely nowhere near the worst out there, but it also misses getting into the big leagues and that's truly a shame with all the things it had going for it.
