A simple review after finished the drama

Just finished the drama 1 days ago, and I'd like to say that the story is written well and performances of each actors and Actresses is among the best. But I can only give 7/10 rating because although I've finished it most of the time i couldn't get myself immerse in this drama at all. Reasons is as below:
1. The make-up of most characters just make me feel "not right". I really love Bai Lu but her make-up when she first become Ye Xiwu is not smooth and i can see all the powder on her face while doing closeup shoot then every time I saw Tantai Jin demon look I feel funny, the eye shadow is just to much. Another thing is Mo Nv make-up when she dress as demon, the eyes thing just doesn't match with the face makeup at all. Oh and the make-up of Pian Ran during the night she meet Ye Xiwu for 2nd time is the legendary " pale face with different body skin color".
2.The customs when they became immortal sect disciples make me have alot of questions. Well I understand that they're main lead, but why their clothes is so outstanding? Like when you see Cang Jiumin, you don't think he is a disciple but a Prince or even the king while compared to other diciples it is just to much gaps.
3. Why those Immortal sect diciples look more like they're some kind of people who do weird cultivation in Wuxia drama rather then immortal cultivation in Xianxia drama? Because in my brain those immortal sect cultivator even if they're not as beautiful as the Heroes and heroine they still look good, but those diciples is just...​look out of place.
4. There is some part of the story that when it presented it just make me have questions for example: the Ming Ye and Demon god that just look the same, and the Mo Nv and Tian Huan, another thing is "How come the 12 god is so weak ? they can't even seal 1 demon god much less talk about kill him" maybe they're not the main lead ? and one more thing is "How can people go to sleep with full make up like that" or maybe it just me who seem to have alot of questions ?.
5. The 2nd lead pair sometime make me feel that they're unimportant. Like whether their love exists or not it doesn't effects the story at all. They just overly promoting the CP but there is no chemistry between the two actors.

About the Characters:
1. Bai Lu is good at portraying her characters. I love her more when she dresss as devil/demon (I know her from Lu Zhaoyao, and love her since then)
2. Ye Bingchang/Tian Huan/Mo Nv really ruined Chen Duling image in my heart ?. Chen Duling image in my mind is "The well-behaved introverted school belle, who is not very good at talking but very good at observing other" but her expression as Ye Bingchang, Tian Huan and finally Mo Nv make me hate these characters so much that i have to prised her acting as bad person. To say the true I am really expecting this drama because two of my favourite actresses (Dudu and Bai Lu) are the main cast to the point that i have to pay for Youku VIP ( I've never do this before) but I have to pause it many time to settle down my anger on Ye Bingchang and Tian Huan (I almost drop it in episode 12 but somehow the cut scene of Mo Nv with Si Ying help me continues). Mo Nv is a better version of Ye Bingchang and Tian Huan her character development is grate. I can say all the 3 versions of her are smart.
3. Wang Yifei portraying as a white-haired demon look so good! Yes she looked good in the Black hair scene too, but I love her more with white haired, I can't take my eyes of her! And her acting as demoness is great and suit her well. I thought that Si Ying would have listened to Mo Nv and stop being obsessed with reviving demon god, because I don't think him bringing her along to have a home is worth her sacrifice, i mean i really wish her to betray the demon god (she is the demon after all)
4. Mo Nv truly love Si Ying (because Si Ying truly love her too) but her love for Gongye Jiwu is just regrets that she had with Xiao Lin.

My most favourite scene of this 40 ep drama is not the main lead scene, but the scene when Jing Mie was playing with dolls that he thought it referred to himself and Si Ying,he look abit silly and the two of them in this scene is just too adorable for me ?.

Overall it is recommended to watch for those who don't have alot of questions for director like me.
