Watched this right after Ten miles of Peach Blossoms since I wanted more Xianxia and was not disappointed!

Since the main cast is younger (most in their 20s), this drama has a youthful feel to it. CGI was good in my opinion - the deer and phoenix were good.
The story was good although I found it amusing that almost everyone had a loveline (even if it was small). The chemistry between the main leads was great. I liked their earlier/middle scenes the best - Jin Mi was so naive and innocent and their human arc was fantastic.

Tu Yao was the primary antagonist and although she was annoying, I didn't find her as bad as the combination in Ten Miles. Sui He and Ren Yu were antagonists too but they grew into their roles so I never hated them. I also appreciated that Ren Yu wasn't just written off as a bad character in the end, but got to redeem himself. Loved the combination of Moon Immortal and Pu Chi.

The music was great but they could've used a few more songs.

The story is highly romance-centric (not just for the main leads but side stories too) so don't expect a super heavy plot. But there's lots of angst in the romances!
