The producers of this drama should be ASHAMED. They have really done the leads dirty. No one can convince me that some dodgy politics didn't take place behind the scene. Nothing can explain why on earth would 2 talented and highly popular A list actors would be given so little screen time and literally be overshadowed by second and third leads!! Script can be changed so it doesn't matter if the novel focuses more on the fish, directors can always change the script. Some of these second leads must have some crazy connections...and please don't start lecturing me about being "negative". I know most of us think alike but some prefer to put up a good front for fear of affecting numbers. The storyline and pace are all over the place - I'm not sure if I'm watching the same drama in the mortal arc. That;s how bad the storyline is - in other similar dramas (e.g. AOL, TMOPB), the mortal arcs always elevate the story and is well connected with the rest of the drama so it is totally doable. And people saying that we should just appreciate the "exploration/adventure" angle of the arc and not moan: are you kidding me? Do you really think that 90% of viewers started watching because they wanted to see the adventured of Yu Mo and the lady lamp in each episode? They sold it as an epic love story between two popular leads whom people were looking forward to watch (and the poster conveys this too), so this is what most of us expected.

Another thing I wanted to add. I love the freshness of the whoel cast!! I get tired of seeing the sames known faces in all the recent dramas. The casting director did a bloody good job as there are not many characters that actually annoy me, which is a big deal as usually I get distracted by really bad acting or annoying side characters. All the side characters act amazingly well so I barely skip their parts (which I usually do): the brother, the FL's female friend (she doesn't overreact for a change), the father, etc.

Ditto, I don't want him to become weak and sappy like the ML in Miss the Dragon. They managed to keep the fierce demeanor of the ML in Love better than immoirtality until the end (which I loved) so I hope they do the same.

CLAP CLAP for the writer and director. They really know how to build up romance, tension and chemistry. This is probably going to be the most epic love story ever as we are seeing them falling in love beautifully.

Yes, he is the weakest god of war I've seen in a drama. He also lacks charisma but that's my personal opinion. I loved the God of War leads in "Love and destiny" and "General and I" as they really looked the part, had that fearless charisma and were not the "flower boy" type.

I honestly find him extremely weak for a god of war. He constantly gets injured and he is no match to DFQC. In most dramas the God of War is at least a match to the antagonist, And I find him really naive and not particularly smart (he doesn't think strategically, he is pretty impulsive). He can't even spy or escape without getting caught straight away! No offence to the actor playing him but the character was really written to make the ML shine.

Agreem this is truly top notch. I'm in awe in each episode.

Also wanted to add that I'm very thankful that the director created a 2ML that is useless. He is gorgeous but as the God of War his powers are so weak that it makes it so much easier for the ML to shine. It;s hard for a lot of viewers to "accept" an evil ML so the second lead syndrom could have been strong. But the ML is so powerful, charismatic and smart (vs purely evil) that it's too hard to resist him. In AOL most people had 2LS because the 2ML was equally (if not more) capable than the ML and had so much screen time. So liking how they are giving the 2 ML a lot of screen time so that we can see their romance growing.

Ahh yes. Weird that MDL put Wuxia in genre. You are right :)

I don't think anyone (including me) would habe predicted to be this good: the acting, the CGI. storyline, direction, pace. Absolutely NO FILLER scenes, amazing romantic build up, no time wasted on unnecessary side characters, the ML actually has most screen time with FL (unlike IS). This is the perfect example of the "perfect" Xianxia IMO. IS is a huge disappointment despire the stellar cast of leads.

OMG this drama is a GEM. I was not expecting it to be this good. I'm actually shocked. This is by far the best CGI I've seen in a Xianxia drama. The art and costume director also did an incredible work. Nothing looks cheap or fake, it's really immersive and exquisite. Despite me not liking the FL that much, I'm totally sold on their chemistry. Dylan is incredible in this and the tension is AWESOME. I rated it 10.

This is literally the drama that had 0 chance to fail - both leads are hit machines with huge fan followings, but also happen to be very good actors. No excuse for them to want to save money with 2 A list actors so viewers are allowed to complain.

100% agree but people will call you a hater for just stating facts. I adore both leads and it's absolutely not their fault as both are amazing actors but the drama's direction and production is a failure so far compared to similar ones (AOL, TMOPB, and even the new one Love between deveil and fairy). I will keep on watching because I love both leads but I'm disconnected now from the story and their love.

Feel the same, sooo many filler scenes that we don't need. The plot is now all over the place. The mortal arc is not good IMO.

I don't like the FL but even I find this drama super addictive. The production quality and CGI are honestly amazing, the plot is fast paced with no filler scenes (so far), chemistry is amazing despite the FL's annoying baby voice, and the ML is a gem in this drama. And the ML is on the bad side for a change so no cheesy romance. Would recommend.

I assume the countdown for the next episodes is wrong on MDL? It seems that there won't be new episodes tomorrow?

Don't like the SML at all. He is a pretty face but that's it. He has little charisma IMO and is a boring character

Totally agree

Seriously impressed by Dylan this time. I didn't like his acting in Miss the Dragon but he's improved so much. This is such a layered character that could easily be cringe but I'm totally sold and I personally don't have 2nd lead syndrome. I really love when the ML is the villain as it's so rare.

Ok thanks, doesn't explain her 5 year old voice and pouts then.
