Happy ending and beautiful fantasy series

To start off this review, the Main leads really have the face for such series. FL carries this series fairly well with many personalities since she had to switch characters. The ML also does well since his character is supposed to be icy thus the lack of emotions but the last few episodes did redeem his character as more fatherly emotions and personality is revealed.

Story can be confusing and have its flaws since its supposed to be a love story that spans over many many many years. However it is easy to track and the hook is also there since much is not explained outright. The fight sequences are decent too and somewhat believable. The female main villain looks good and convincing too. There are emotional ups and downs in this series but no frustrating flip flops like he/she likes me or not and 3rd party misunderstandings, the relationship is straight forward and focus.

Having watched falling into your smile and this series at the same time, ML matches and have better chemistry with the FL in falling into your smile but its still not the same level as his previous chemistry with Bai lu. But with that said the FL in this series still really looks very good with the cinematography, sets and decent costume sets. FL acting is also very on point in this series and she does carry this series more than the ML. If there is a complain about the FL its really just the "flatness" but i guess that cant be helped right lol.

This series is worth a watch but rewatching value should be low since the happy and loving times between ML and FL is low, likewise the chemistry is only average between leads. However the god world settings and storyline makes it a worthy watch if you are a fan of the genre. There are also 3 other sub couples but for me, its average chemistry amongst the sub couples too.

What I really like from this series is the soundtrack, it is very on point with this series, it fits the storyline, scenes and settings. Very much on par with Ashes of love soundtrack.
