Lighthearted and Fun
First drama I watched after nearly a decade of watching none!
A fascinating story with a bit of mystery, and a mixture of lighthearted comedy, silliness, romance, friendships, fantasy, revenge and scheming.
1. Story
Good pace, the mystery behind the main character was reason the drama flowed quickly. The character mixture of mortals, immortals, demons, and gods were interesting and added to the watch value of the drama.
2. Characters
I discovered Luo Jin casted as Yang Jian, through this drama and was not disappointed. Very much enjoyed his natural acting and a very likeable character. The stronger performances were that of the Fox Demon (Deng Lun), Xiao Er, Jiang Ziya, Crown Prince and Empress. Other supporting characters who were also enjoyable were Li Er, Lan Ying, Wu Ji, Bo Yikao, Ne Zha, both Consorts, King of Zhou, and Jiang Ziya's wife with the celestial broom.
Less enjoyable characters were King of Shang, Shen Gonbao, Fei Zhong, and didn't really care for Su Da Ji.
3. Romance
The main relationship is a bit complicated since the adopted son and main character, Yang Jian technically isn't blood related to Su Da Ji but is still her sibling, so although the chemistry is there, its also awkward. However Luo Jin, brings genuine passion and sentiments into this relationship which makes it believable.
There are many side relationships and some are equally as romantic. There is Wu Ji and Lan Ying, Yang Jian and Xiao Er, Fox Demon and Su Da Ji, and Jiang Ziya and his wife (more lighthearted).
4. Costumes
Well above average design and I liked the variety they showed. Clean aesthetics and very appealing.
5. Music
This series is obviously incomplete due to some censoring in China but the ending theme is already an exceptional tune. Very moving and beautiful -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxXMqhxsBpc
6. Ending
Well, there is no ending yet since it stops at Episode 53 and hasn't updated in a while as of October 2019 which kind of brings down the watch value since there was a ton of momentum in the story but sadly cut short.
Will they ever show the intended remaining episodes? Who knows but it was definitely fun to watch and I still recommend it! Only boring parts were the palace scenes which is a bit more serious.
