What did I like about this drama?:
-----------------------------
- The plot! The ideas behind the story were amazing. It was very cleverly thought of and I loved the idea of going back into the past to change things and meet reincarnations of other people.
- The mix of supernatural with historical genre is always a hit with me. I loved the magic, vampires, historical settings and action.
- Ma Me (as Ya Long)... Its the first drama I watched with him in it, and now I'm trying to find more with him as a lead role. Great acting skills and not to mention he is so handsome, I thought my eyeballs would shrivel up from not blinking while watching the screen. I craved more scenes with him in it and his outfit/make up was fantastic.
- The special effects. Oddly enough, I enjoyed them. They weren't top dollar kinda stuff, but the amount of thought/logic and effort put into the effects was great. Whether it was ya long flying in the sky or magic spells being cast, it was done in a way that was believable and added to the magic of the show. When some dramas have special effects I find they can be a bit cheesy and silly.
What didn't I like about this drama?:
--------------------------------------------
- Female lead was a bit annoying. Don't get me wrong, she was funny and charming in her own way, but I prefer a more stronger heroine in dramas.
- The relationship between si yin and ye yin (female lead and her master). I wanted so much to buy into their relationship and feel it was special, but struggled with it. I didn't feel a bond between them, I felt that it wasn't really a solid love triangle plot theme. But that's a personal opinion, some others would disagree, I'm sure. I just wasn't feeling it.
- The ending...without spoiling too much... It felt rushed and it didn't satisfy me. I felt like it needed more.
Would I rewatch it? Yes! In fact, I already have rewatched some episodes I particularly liked. I highly recommend it to anyone into romance, supernatural, fantasy and historical genres.
