Lee Evanie

You're welcome! :)

Yeah it being a group interview is kinda scary, especially since someone might end up saying something that you were planning to say right before you, that can make you panic and not know what to say anymore.

Exactly! I agree with both your opinions.

Well this was an overall kinda decent drama. Not great at all, but watchable. My biggest issues with it are:
1- I couldn't stand the FL, I mean I get her point of view and struggles, but god damn! I just couldn't bring myself to like her at all. She was annoying as hell and to make it worse, the actress's way of acting pissed me off more. I don't think I ever seen her in another drama before so I guess she is a rookie? If that's the case then I would rather not to be too harsh on her acting skills, but anyway both her acting and the way they wrote the character herself were unlikable as fuck.

Also the whole thing between her and her mother made me dislike her even more, like seriously? I first expected her mother to be abusive or something for her to hate on her that much, but turns out it was the FL being your typical irritating edgy teen who likes to lash out her anger issues on others instead of trying to understand what's happening first, her mother not remembering her sister clearly shows something off is about the mother, so she should tried to talk to her calmly and help her.

the way she handled everything, especially the issue related to Mi Jun threatening her with the video of Ji Sung was painfully dumb. Like who cares about his reputation, if he is a pervert he doesn't deserve the help. She should have made sure the video was perverted in the first place, before rushing to hate on him as well.

To be fair only thing that I liked about the FL is that for the first time in history they actually casted an actress that's not attractive (Am not saying she the ugliest woman to ever exist or anything, no offense to the actress, but obviously she isn't a drop dead gorgeous, especially compared to many Korean actresses out there) to play the unattractive character role instead of doing the same shit they be doing before when they cast a literally hot actor/actress, give them some ugly nerdy outfits, a bland hairstyle, and a glasses and that's supposed to make them look truly ugly.

When they are so hot even if they wear a trash bag, they would still look way hotter than 90% of human population. Great example of this is Moon Ga Young being the unattractive girl in True Beauty, when she is one of the most pretty actresses I have seen so far, even by Korean crazy beauty standards lmao

2- Ironically every other character in the drama were also unlikable.
We got the Psychopath douchebag Ho In (God damn Bo Min is hot as hell though! And his acting was good enough), whom they try to make a bit redeemable and likeable in the last episode, but that didn't work for me.

The stupid sociopath Mi Jun, like why she exist? How come there is a girl who look exactly the same as Genie who was photoshoped by the FL and that girl actually live in same place and ends up going to same school as her?! Then it turns out that she is crazy and cruel.

That short haired bitch who just enjoyed creating troubles everywhere and being mean for no good reason, and ruined the relationship between Ha Nuel and FL.

Ha Neul who was actually my favorite character (Although I think her deciding to bully and beat up FL after believing that she talked shit about her was too much, she could at least talk to her and let her explain first before becoming the school's biggest bully). But she was the most realistic and relatable character in my personal opinion. She witnessed her mother get abandoned for not being pretty and young anymore so it makes sense she would be obsessed with her looks and wanting to look nice, also her fearing to get abandoned by her shitty ass boyfriend, and not wanting to get betrayed by her best friends.
Besides to me she was the prettiest girl in the drama, even more than Genie.

Then we got Ji Sung, the only good character, but he was boring and cliché, your typical prince charming/nice guy who was into the annoying FL for who knows why, if she had a proper personality, I would get it, but she didn't so...Anyway Hong Seok did decent acting-wise, and his fake accent was cute at least. He is such a pretty guy with an adorable smile and vibe <3

And they just rushed to solve all issues, make FL and Ji Sung kiss and shit, and give all characters the development they should have had in earlier episodes in last episode...

The plot was overly dramatic and dark with too much angst and mentally ill characters that it became parody at some point, and I think other dramas like True Beauty done this concept better.

Overall I liked the message they tried to portray with the drama, and I hope in future they manage to deliver this same message but in much better way, and much more well written characters.

Ikr! That moment when that Tang guy appeared I was like what the heck?! Who the hell is this dude and why they never mentioned him before? When did he inherit the Black Tortoise role. I was more focused on him than the fight for a while which ruined my watching experience a bit at that moment.

I mean yeah I get your point, but still killing Lian just to give them more reason to fight Xiao Yu, isn't really that much of a great excuse for killing Tang Lian all of a sudden and messing the plot a little for me personally. I mean Xiao Yu was trying to create chaos that could lead to many people dying and the ruin of Tianqi as a whole all just so he can become emperor, and it was clear that if he got the throne the whole kingdom would suffer with his dictator like mindset.

About Li Hanyi, yeah probably your theory is right and that makes me hate the romance even more lmao that part made her character feel stupid to me after she was so cool at start.

Thank you!

I know it's a very good drama because first two episodes were very good, also the main lead actor is one of my favorite Chinese actors, and he done great job in his pervious dramas.
I just was busy with some thing so I couldn't bing watch it and since I start Blood of Youth first, I decided to finish it before watching rest of Snow Sword Stride lol

I only watched 2 episodes of Snow Sword Stride so far, but plan to finish it in like the next four or five days since I finally have some time for it.

Oh, I see! I already finished Blood of Youth, and I loved it a lot so if you decide to watch stuff again make sure to properly check it out. It has such a a great friendships and bromance. It became one of my top Cdramas even.

It's his voice that's making me pissed off lmao

This drama was among the most enjoyable Wuxia Cdramas I ever watched and I loved almost every character including support ones. All cast, be it the young or older ones were very good looking and great at acting.

I really hope that they make more dramas with similar concept (Mostly focused on strong friendships, bromance, fights, awesome supernatural abilities) in future. That Wushuang sword box thing was quite the memorable ability, don't remember seeing something similar to it in all of the Wuxia/Xian xia dramas or even animes I watched till this day, and the young actor nailed his role. His character was really interesting.

I also appreciate that basically 99% of female characters (Both main and side ones) were truly likeable, strong physically, capable, had strong personalities, badass, smart, and were highly useful in the plot. It wasn't all about the men being cool and the girls being your typical whiny, dumb, constant damsels in distress with overly high pitched voices, everyone from both genders were equal and strong. Even the very young girls like the divine healer, I really loved her character and the actress did great. As well as many of the kid actors.

All of the outfits, hairstyles, make up, and accessories of both male and female cast looked very beautiful, Especially Jade deity (Who was elegant as hell), Wujie, seventh and second Princes, Xiao Se, Qianluo, and Tang Lian. The filming sets/places looked amazing with stunning decorations, scenery, architecture, and furniture, and CGI was overall pretty good!

For once the emperor wasn't a total piece of shit lol they be digging to make emperors in historical dramas assholes, but this one had an emperor who acted humane, and the second prince was also admirable in a way.

Not gonna lie, I did wish I could adopt Lei Wujie lol, he was such a pure sweetheart and my favorite character in the drama, every moment he appeared in made me laugh, quite the brilliant comic relief character, and the actor seemed to enjoy his role as well. I think dating a guy with such a personality would be perfect too since you won't worry about him doing bad things at all, Ruoyi is sure smart.

Only issues I found with the drama are:

1- The romance: Basically all romance subplots in the drama either felt cringe (To be exact the whole thing between fairy Rui and Tang Lian, along with fairy Luoxia and her disciple Mingxuan being into her, it was awkward to death), or forced, pointless, rushed, and uninteresting (Like Qianluo and Xiao Se, Lei Wujie and Ruoyi, Li Hanyi and that peach blossom sword dude). Do they really need to create 10000 couples and make everyone fall in love with someone?!

Like the plot between Wujie's sister and her lover...it totally felt like they created it just to add a bit of drama and the typical tragic love story concept that Chinese people seem to be obsessed with.

Qianluo's sudden obsession with Xiao Se and her chasing him around everywhere and being clingy and aggressive got a bit irritating at some point and it felt as if he only liked her back because he had to by force, besides no one else showed interest in him (Since Ruoyi decided to stick with Wujie in the end), and she basically wouldn't leave him alone. I liked Qianluo overall as a character and fighter, but as romance/lover character she pissed me off a little for some reason.

In a way it would make more sense for Xiao Se to marry Ruoyi than Qianluo honestly (She his childhood friend, she is very smart, mature, and knows well about the court and army matters, so she would be more of a suitable choice for him since they will be able to communicate and understand each other better).

I get they decided to make Ruoyi x Wujie, Qianluo x Xiao Se, Tang Lian x Fairy Rui, Hanyi x Zhao Yuzhan a thing because they wanted opposites to attract (Qianluo isn't that smart and is more on the short tempered, childish, and reckless side unlike Xiao Se who is very meticulous, secretive, and cold.
Tang lian is very reserved, quite, and polite unlike Fairy Rui who is kinda...slutty?
Hanyi is tough, hard headed, and bold, the blossoms dude is chill, romantic, and gentle.
Meanwhile Wujie is very innocent, more on the simple and transparent side unlike Ruoyi who is very mature and wise), and such love trope does work nicely at times, but in this plot's case I didn't like it.

Luckily the romance plots barley had screen time and they weren't the main focus. But it would be better if they just got rid of all these dumb romance bullshit (I'm not against romance, I do dig romance plots when they are well written, help the plot, and the actors got chemistry, which weren't the case here sadly).

2- Many character had such stupid deaths...for example Hanyi's husband, why did he have to die? They hyped his ass so much and he was supposed to be this awfully strong dude but he died in the blink of an eye as soon as he walked down of his mountain. Same with Tang Lian, did he really need to die? Why? How did his death help the plot?

It was clear they killed him along with Li Hanyi's husband just to add some tearful moments and get the watchers all emotional, but it didn't work at all for me cause their deaths just felt meaningless even though I really loved Tang Lian. I'm pretty sure he could stay alive and nothing much about the plot would change.

Many of the deities/older martial artists were supposed to be super powerful and badass by how they described them all (They can destroy thousand of cities, split rivers in half with their palm...etc) but when they show up and start fighting they aren't even as 30% as powerful and cool as you would expect them to be and they easily get injured or die lmao even the younger generation martial artists (Mostly Xiao Se, Wushuang, Wujie, Tang Lian, and Qianluo) were more flashy and awesome than them.

3- There was also the story about Wuxin's mother, was I supposed to sympathy with her and feel bad for her?! Like the woman literally cheated on her first husband, abandoned her first son, fled with another man who happens to be her first husband's enemy, married and fucked him and gave birth to his kid and was planning to stay with him, then all of a sudden when they tell her that her first son is very ill she finally realizes that maybe he still needs her so she goes back to the palace, abandoning her second son in the process...everything about her screamed a selfish bitch, yet they made her seem like this tragic woman who didn't have a choice.

I get she might not loved her husband, she might got married to him by force thanks to her family making her do it for profit blah blah but all that isn't an excuse for all the mess she made. Thanks to her her older son became mentally troubled, filled with hatred, got all cruel, depressed, crazy, and suicidal in the end.

She could try to shower him with love more and make him understand how much she supposedly cared for him, but she decided to act cold and distant towards him instead which made him despise her even more. While her younger son suffered since his birth without his parents by his side, and had to go through lots of danger and misery.

Yeah the emperor might've not been her love, but from what they said he did love her a lot, treated her well, and even after the grand betrayal she done to him, he didn't slice her throat and allowed her to live peacefully in the palace, enjoying the wealth, which showed how much forgiving he was to her, but she didn't deserve it honestly.
Besides the major reason lone sword deity decided to go to Tianqi and create chaos, injuring so many people, and got manipulated by Xiao Yu as well was all due to his love for her and to get her out of the palace. Why are all men so obsessed with her anyway?! I don't find her that marvelous personality-wise, nor drop dead gorgeous (No offense to the actress).

Basically her character was nothing but trouble for everyone around her. Yes, she stayed locked in Tianqi for Xiao Yu's sake, but isn't that her duty as his mother anyways, especially since she abandoned him once and was the reason he got mocked everywhere in the palace? Like seriously She pissed me off greatly, even more than her elder son lmao

4- All OSTS were boring and non memorable, didn't bother downloading any of them, wished they made better songs.

I still gave the drama a 10/10 rating although many things bothered me, but the things I liked about it were much more and I bing watched it in like four days so yeah lol

I get you and I was mostly talking about second season, the reason many watchers still bothered to watch the second season is because of him and his character. If it wasn't for him I myself wouldn't give the second season a chance cause first season was already shitty to me.

I'm currently watching the Cdrama called The Blood of Youth and so far it's very enjoyable (It's Wuxia historical drama) along with another non historical Cdrama called you're My Glory.
I actually enjoyed True Beauty cause I liked the three main characters, and loved the bromance. I kinda shipped the two male leads lmao it may be cringe indeed but still fun to me.

The Korean one with Cha Eunwoo right? I already watched it before Love Between Fairy and Devil lol and yeah enjoyed it! First drama I 100% love Eunwoo's character and acting in it (Along with True Beauty, but his priest character was much better).

Well to me it was the opposite, I didn't know jack shit about the actress (No offense to her, but am not a fan) but already knew Song Kang and watched his newer works before this drama. Also all people I know who talked about this drama all said the same thing which is that they only completed it for Song Kang's sake whether they were his fans or not since he was the most interesting character and well...obviously a massive eye candy.
Like I read somewhere that the actual reason they casted him was to make his fans bother watching the drama to begin with, they literally used him to hype it up (Mostly second season) and it shows from the shit writing lmao most watchers wouldn't give the second season any attention if his character wasn't put in it.

Oh, watched Love Between Fairy and Devil like how you recommended and well...I binge watched it in four day, loved it a lot, and Dongfang is now my favorite ML ever lol thanks a lot for suggesting it, I was feeling a bit lost after the end of Alchemy of Souls and it perfectly filled the void for me.

Oh, I love getting good recommendations (Love Between Fairy and Devil was also recommended to me), so I will watch the drama you mentioned for sure!

Okay finally finished this drama. Gotta admit I genuinely enjoyed it from the first episode.
There were tons of positives about it:

1- The outfits, armors and crowns' shape designs, hairstyles, make up, and overall accessories were great.
(Mostly male characters hairstyles, female characters had ugly hairstyles honestly. Even the outfits/accessories/make up of male characters looked much much better, flashier, and classier than the ones of female ones, don't get why. At least in mortal realm the girls actually looked very nice with Tang dynasty's style which is ironic since they should look more stunning in the fantasy world instead).
The swords and fighting/war scenes felt mostly fake though (Swords seemed like ones you could buy in some toy stores for kids, they make it painfully clear with their positions, poses, and unnecessary twirling and acrobatic moves that they are using ropes and shit, wonder when will this problem be solved in Cdramas.

2- Loved the ML character and his personality, I think this is my first time watching a drama of Dylan Wang as ML (Apart from the second season of Ever Night which I couldn't finish till this day, I totally preferred first season, wasn't his fault but the plot though since it went downhill that season), and he done a great job playing his role in both serious/dark/emotional and comedic parts. I was convinced in his "feminine" performance when he swapped souls with FL, it didn't feel cringe, but fun instead. This role was made for him I guess.
I think among all the ML characters of all dramas I watched (Both romance or non romance), Dongfang is the best and most well written to me and Dylan managed to showcase it perfectly. Especially with how he can use his eyes only to reveal what he is feeling and what he wants to say at times. I now have high expectations for him as an actor.

He is gorgeous and elegant (Even way more good looking than all female actresses including FL), he has very beautiful big eyes and nice facial features, his outfits, hairstyle, and make up made his good looks shine even better (Would love to wear all of his outfits myself including the creepy armor and crown for a party or something, especially the black outfits and the dark green/blue one he wore in episodes 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 26, and 28 . They were the best outfits in the whole drama and among the top outfits I have seen in a historical drama so far. Seems more than half of the styling budget/effort was spent on him).
His hellfire ability was dope, the fact that it's blue flames instead of red was a nice addition since blue flames are the hottest type of flames I think? And it was the strongest ability in their universe instead of the heavenly immortals having the strongest abilities. Anyway ML was my favorite character and the reason I basically binge watched this drama in like four days even though I was busy with studies and stuff. I will watch more of his stuff for sure in future. I also loved the loyal black dragon, he was cute and their relationship was amusing and sweet.

3- I liked the 2nd ML, he as well was very handsome (Loved his magical water looking armor/outfit and crown, the shape design of them was nice, although I believe it might have been better to make them CGI instead? Like create a flowing water movement surrounding his head and body instead of using solid material), though I preferred the ML, but he was also a very decent character and had a likeable and respectful personality (Though a bit bland at times). Glad they didn't turn him all toxic and envious later like what happened in the case of Ashes of Love.
Don't like it when second leads go insane and evil when things don't go their way romance-wise. I also enjoyed his interactions with the fairy lord Rong Hao (Who sadly turned out to be a borderline psychopath. I really loved him still since I understood his actions and he did truly care about Changheng even with what he was dealing with secretly), they had some nice bromance.

I expected Danyin to become an irritating, filled with jealousy, cruel, and obsessed character, but surprisingly she was more on the righteous and logical side, that she even helped Changheng and FL, basically trembling on her own love for the god of war, which was quite pleasant to see and they didn't give her too much screen time which was good as well, I did end up liking her a lot at some point (The only woman character that went the envious crazy way was the side character Yulin and she paid the price heavily before being able to hurt FL luckily so overall most female characters weren't toxic).
Danyin is among the few female actresses who had a nice hairstyle along with some other side characters like Rong Hao's servant/assistant and that lord/aunt Sansheng (Their style overall was cool as well as the style of Wanqing).

4- CGI was pretty good (Considering it's a Cdrama), the whole cinematography and world design were pleasant to the eye. Loved the architecture and decorations of filming sets as well. Especially the Arbiter Hall, Changheng's bedroom, Dongfang's grand house in the mortal realm and his bedroom in the Cangyan Sea/silent moon palace. Would love to live there myself lol it was clear they had a high budget.

5- Overall it was an easy watch although the drama had about 40 episodes (Which isn't really long considering it a Cdrama. Glad they didn't drag it to 60+ episodes instead like many other dramas I watched before). Didn't feel bored or tired while watching. I could easily watch it in two days if I wasn't busy.

6- Love how they basically made many of the supposedly good guys (Immortal sages/seniors, emperor...etc) bad and hypocrites, and some of the bad guys were the actually good people. Dig that kinda thing. Also the fact that the strongest moon tribe supreme and the one who made tons of accomplishments to make it a strong tribe blah blah was a woman, as well as the original god of war and toughest heavenly fighter who able to defeat the ML was a woman too.

Nice thing to see the two supposedly most strongest characters are both women for a change lol. I know there are many strong female characters in Asian dramas, but still most of the time they aren't literally the strongest and most supreme/respected/worshiped ones. The plot overall was very well written, they made many characters understandable and relatable. Although the plot is not that unique since it had many overused tropes I have seen in many other historical fantasy dramas, but they managed to make it enjoyable enough to not care about the lack of originality.

7- The OSTs/op and ed songs were all amazing, especially the ed song that had both Chinese opera and rock elements in it, Carving An Orchid by Li changchao (If I remember correctly they played it in the end of episode 6 and few other episodes). I ended up downloading all the songs instantly before reaching episode 7.

8- Glad that the ending wasn't on the tragic side, since I got attached to many of the characters. Mostly Dongfang, Rong Hao and Shangque. They were my most loved characters, glad nothing seriously bad happened to any of them in the end (I mean Rong Hao's ending was sad, yes, but in a way it made sense, especially after all the fucked things he done, he finally found peace), or I would have went rage mode lol
The ending was rushed and tiny bit messy and lackluster, but at least not sad, and the leads were back together (Though I wish they explained how the hell did Dongfang come back after the 500 years, Orchid made it seem as he was gonna die forever, but basically all of them keep resructting over and over again easily, and the whole "I'm back!" thing then the drama ending instantly was more hilarious than emotional).

Now about the few negatives:

1- FL's character was one hell of a torture in the first half of the drama. She was the only reason I seriously struggled to not drop the drama, but the positives I mentioned earlier kept me watching. I seriously can't stand the concept of having female characters act like retards just to be forcibly cute. I get that Asians are into women being innocent and pure, but there is a huge difference between being innocent and acting overly childish. Especially when said person behaving like that is literal adult (Or at least 14-17 years old).

FL literally had the voice, behavior, and expressions of a 4 years old. Like for real even my niece who is actually 5 years old doesn't act that cringe. The actress is clearly a grown ass woman (Heck she is even three years older than me which was more surprising to me and made watching even more awkward!), so it always felt painfully odd to see a grown woman having the voice and attitude of a toddler (Turns out it was her real voice...like damn!).
I mean obviously it's not my first time going through this shit, it's very popular trend in both dramas and anime (At least in animes' case many of the characters do look like kids, so I manage to get over it a bit), but I still can't get fully used to it, not even after more than 10 years of watching Asian shows.

Whenever the actress/FL would do the endless pouting, whining, and said cringe behavior I felt like hitting her on the head lol like I really had to keep reminding myself that she isn't supposed to be mentally disabled in the plot or something. I get she was meant to be a child fairy at first episodes, but doesn't mean she had to act that way necessarily. If they wanted a child they could just hire an actual child actress to make it less tedious to watch or just make her personality/acting more chill.

I also didn't like the make up and hairstyle they done to her, they weren't so bad, but not that great to me. Actress is pretty cute and has a healthy looks, her outfits were decent, but again male characters had much better styles and color schemes, which made her seem dull and faded next to them. I would love to see her with a really flashy outfits/accessories instead, and better more visible colors like dark purple, royal blue, maroon, magenta, or rose. Anything that won't make her look transparent like a ghost, I don't know how to explain it lmao it felt as if her (And the other fairy girls) outfits were washed tons of times and lost their colors at some point. (Though Orchid did look much better with the hairstyle/hair accessories and light green and the emerald green outfits in episode 16 after the moon tribe servants gave her new clothes. They were her best outfits along with the mortal realm servant outfit and the outfit and crown she wore in last episodes).

About the make up, I didn't like the heavy orange eyeshadow, pink blush, and pink lips combination they used most of the time on her, I know these colors get used a lot in Asian make up for both genders, and sometimes they do look nice and all (Like on some Kpop idols), but still not a big fan. The FL actress looked way prettier in the wedding outfit, proper hair and accessories, and dark red make up which proves my point.
Her mortal make up was better but I wish they would not use any over the top blush with it since it makes her look a bit like a clown. I understand they went for the pastel color palates and overly bright make up thing to fit the theme of flower fairies, but there are tons of flowers with very dark or warm colors out there like blue, red, and black roses and tulips so it's not really an excuse. Even if she is an orchid not a rose or whatever.

Anyway later her personality and voice got much better and this issue was basically fixed gladly. So if anyone who just started this drama and is struggling with same issue I had with FL, I tell you that it won't last till the end (Only till like episode 15 or so in case you want to know, she gets smarter, useful, and calms down her awfully energetic behavior from there, and she finally acts like an actual adult from like episode 33. Being able to handle her character and fully enjoy the drama mostly depends on how patient the watcher is lol).

2- Thanks to the FL issue I mentioned before, I couldn't bring myself to ship the main leads nor view the whole romance seriously at start. It felt more like watching a funny relationship between a serious and grumpy grandpa, who got stuck with the role of babysitting his utterly annoying, stupid, spoiled, and overly energetic little granddaughter for some time. Even when they kissed in first episode, I couldn't help but shudder even though I knew they are both adults.

It was just odd, but when FL improved, I finally managed to like and enjoy the romance part. I even ended up loving them quite a lot by the end. Although the concept is typical forbidden love between a constant damsel in distress, fragile, pacifist, naïve, good girl falls for tough, cold, badass, and heroic badboy with severe childhood trauma who only warms up to her and has his trauma cured by her as well leading him to become a better person, which is done tons of times before, and yeah honestly there wasn't anything unique about it in this drama, but it was still fun to watch and their chemistry and dynamic were good enough.

3- Couldn't care less about the sub romance plots, to be exact the one between Shangque and Jieli, it was forced and meaningless. I liked Black Dragon a lot (Although I got to admit, I wish he would keep he mouth shut when it comes to ML's secretes, like he literally be telling just anyone about him easily...), Jieli was a decent character. I like how they are opposite of each other.
Dragon decided to become 100% loyal and honest thanks to ML giving him a chance, while Jieli decided to become clever and untrusting due to her not having anyone like ML to support her, they both had same childhood issue/backstory, but decided to deal with and learn from it in a very different ways. Wish Black Dragon's character actually had some time to shine as a fighter or in dragon form, he was mostly like a normal bodyguard even though he seemed pretty powerful so I wish they gave him more action scenes.

About the romance between the two though...I didn't feel it, nor like it. Felt like a pointless filler. Would prefer they become good friends and call it a day instead.

Same with Changheng's feelings for FL, I mean I get they met in that forest and interacted a lot, even became friends, and then he started crushing on her...but was their interaction really enough to make him THAT in love with her? That he is even willing to risk his life, anger his shit older brother, abandon his responsibilities, and even was willing to let the heavenly place get destroyed by ML, and then decided to become a mortal risking his ability to become immortal again...etc

I mean I don't like how they forced him to get engaged to some woman whom he never met before, and the heavenly shitheads weren't even fully sure if the goddess will come back, so they basically ordered him to live alone and loveless forever, just like how ML's father forced him to live without love and feelings (Not gonna lie I think a love story between Changheng and ML would be way more cooler than the one between him and FL, and no it's not because of my great love to BL over straight romance, but since both guys went through kinda similar torture and had to live their lives according to others messed up wills and forced "Duties", that will make them relate to and support each other greatly or something).
Meanwhile I didn't think Changheng's feelings for FL were that realistic. I mean at least ML had to stick to her side and open up to her, getting back his emotions thanks to the heart curse thing, so it's more understandable why he fell for her.

4- Also why didn't the heavenly emperor get engaged to the goddess instead? Why force his child younger brother?! And why is the younger brother the one who must defend the heavenly realm instead of him? The emperor seemed strong and all, so why didn't he do shit apart from sitting on his damn throne acting all stuck up and controlling 95% of time. At least Changheng was brave enough to face Dongfang Qingcang, unlike his brother who just sat there trembling with fear and throwing his brother under the bus, then only showing up all cocky when Dongfang in a weakened state. Like seriously I wanted that irritating emperor to die by the end.

5- About the whole mortal realm arc of Changheng, I had mixed feelings about it, it was a bit lame how they turned him into a dumb, immature, playboy, but also in a way it allowed him to show more emotions and feel more realistic. Actor done a great job and his interactions with Dongfang were awfully hilarious.
The whole arc was more on the stupid side to me by how the main characters were busy trying to make Changheng and Chidi woman fall for each other and it made the plot childish as hell. But I did feel really sad for both Wanqing (Who by the way looked stunning in her wedding style, wonder how heavy is that crown, but it's worth the neck pain since it looks amazing) and Xiao Run. imagine everything going that awful in your freaking long awaited wedding day, tragedy at it's finest lol

Still I gave this drama a 10/10 cause of how much I enjoyed it and loved the characters, it was worth every minute I spent on it.

Wish that too! It's pretty rare for me to find an Asian drama with a female character that I 100% like everything about, or that ends up becoming my favorite character in the show. Most of the time it's either the ML, 2nd ML, or some side character that ends up being the most interesting to me.

Last 4 episodes, oh! So far I watched 25 episodes while hoping the big change you mentioned (I mean her actually changing and behaving like a literal adult should, not just getting a bit smarter and less energetic like latest episodes I watched) will happen by like episode 30 max.
That will take way longer than I expected...but I love the ML, Black Dragon, and Rong Hao. So they kept me watching even though FL is mostly giving me anxiety.

The plot is decent too. I guess I will continue and see if the ending will be worthy and satisfying of this struggle or not. If the ending turns out to be ass, I will be angry as hell! Especially if something bad happen to my top three characters. Thanks a lot for checking and telling me!
