tried so hard to like it but failed in the end
I watched this drama based on recommendations from youtube and the reviews here. Unfortunately, I lost interest after a few episodes, went to watch other drama and came back to continue to watch this where I left off but got bored again and repeat the same cycle until I forced myself to watch it to give it another chance. The pace is so slow and many fillers. There are also so many side stories to fill the long episodes.
I got so annoyed with the female lead character (XuanJi)with her acting. When she played the naïve girl without 6 senses, her acting is not convincing and came out as overacting to portray being dumb and stupid but actually came out as aggressive. There are so many scenes (cringy) where she is forcing herself (or her friendship) to ML (SiFeng) so aggressively, following him around and not letting him go (yet trying to portray that she is innocent without feeling anything for him as she is supposed to be heartless and can't feel love or pain). SiFeng is trying his best to avoid her and yet she kept following him around (even at this stage, she doesn't have the capability to love/pain yet, hasn't recovered her 6 senses) Even after she gained her senses, she is still blinded and so stubborn when everyone is telling her to honor her sects/clans and abolish evil.
SiFeng - his acting as cold and emotionless character in the beginning is good and convincing. He has a stone face look most of the time and only shows some emotions during the lovey dovey (romantic) scenes. I liked him better at "Noble Aspirations I and II".
BAi Shu (Lord Flying snake) - I like his character and acting the most. Bai Shu's role is interesting, funny and keeps you awake ( I honestly felt asleep many time watching the show).
Hao Chen's role as the king of heaven is also very good (calm, self confident, authoritative and commanding respect). His care for XuanJi is very convincing as well.
I will not rewatch this drama. It did not keep my attention.
