Okay.... I'm really not sure what to think of this drama. I found Bai Qian annoying at the beginning, and it definitely took a while before the drama picks up (which, to be fair, is typical of cdramas of this length). Excellent acting, cast, but the storyline definitely left something to be desired.
The most enjoyable part for me was definitely the latter half. The most red-flagged part of this whole drama was when BQ was in the mortal world and basically couldn't remember everything and Ye Hua met her and they fell in love. Is it just me that felt this whole arc was extremely shady and dubious? Do people not find this whole arc highly problematic? YH basically lied to her the whole time while she was unaware and vulnerable, they fell in love, and then soon after, they even had a kid while she was still completely oblivious as to her true self. Not to mention, not once did I find the two of them to be on equal footing while BQ was mortal, where she was meek and constantly needed saving and help. This basically tainted the basis of their whole relationship for me, where I was left with a bitter taste in my mouth.
Overall, it was still an interesting drama - I don't get the extreme hype it got, but I get why people liked it. The two main leads had great chemistry, and I also enjoyed the side couple (Feng Jiu and Dong Hua) as well, which kept me going. Also! The amazing OST, which was definitely one of the best parts of this drama.
