Overall this is a beautiful drama, I liked the story though most people were bothered by the parallels with TMPB.
The one thing that bothered me most was the choice of main leads. The two are strong actors, but there seems to be a lack of chemistry that's only compensated by their skill. The choice of the male bothered me a little more in a way that he's not best suited for a romantic (comedic) drama. Mark Chao would have been a better choice for this God of War if not for the fact that he was the God of War in TMPB. There are a few romantic scenes between Jiu Chen and Ling Xi, but rather than enjoying the scenes, I find myself fast-forwarding through. The side story between Yun Feng and Qing Yao was more natural and enjoyable than the main one. The remaining cast was wonderful. My favorite are 13 and Si Ming.
Music was rather common. Not bad, just common. Not mesmerizing like TMPB, and not grand like Ever Night. After watching 60 episodes I can't recall how many songs were written for it, or what the melodies were.
Like most people said, the ending felt lacking. The last 5 episodes were rather slow, and lacked action and explanation. I felt that it either can cut about 3 episodes, or it needed one more to give a more complete ending. The final climax to resolution, all of 300 years was delivered in a few minutes.
I would not rewatch it. Though it was very well done, I did not come out of it wanting more. I did not want to go back and watch a certain scene.
