Could have been a gem
I saw the trailer for this, and it looked insanely bad, so if course I decided to watch it. It's a mini dramas, so what harm?I was greatly taken by surprise to find it hilarious. Every overused trope in xianxia was used and ridiculed. Even when they were being 'serious' the cast were sending a little wink our way, and it was delightful.
At some point however, roughly half way through, this little comedy, no budget drama, that had used it's shortcomings as strengths, decided to take itself very seriously indeed. The comedy flew out the window, the acting flew out the window, and left us with no option but to be held to notice, almost at gunpoint, everything lacking in this drama that the comedy has previously used to captivate us. The episodes may have been short, but this is still bloated at 48 episodes.
I thought this was going to be a little hidden gem, but alas, yet another disaster from xianxia storytelling. If I found out that there were two different directors for the first and second half of this series, I would not be surprised.

Why God, WHY???????
This is a film that can only be enjoyed by people who hate movies and/or life.Everyone in this film hates thenselves and everybody else.
Nobody in this show appears to know that hairdressers exist, and that you can give them money and they can make your hair look nice. The male kead does not appear to know that shampoo exists, either.
Do yourself a favour and go and watch your dog lay a turd instead of subjecting your eyeballs to this mess. If for some reason you do feel compelled to watch it, DO NOT play the drinking game where you have to take a shot every time you question your sanity for watching it - you will be plastered 20 minutes in, and may end up hospitalised for alcohol poisoning if you make it to the end of the film.
