i dont know how to rate this. this drama was kind of a mess. i loved the actors - everyone did phenomenal job with the script they were given, especially the leads. their chemistry at first was weird, like there was something missing, but later it became clear why and it vastly improved. i still think the first episodes in terms of building up their relationship could have been done better - but it made sense in the end. i enjoyed the first 12 episodes the most, then the few episodes where XY travelled 100 years back in time. the rest unfortunately as i said - a mess. had tropes executed in a way that either tired me out or infuriated me. but nothing infuriated me as much as the last few episodes. the visuals and special effects were excellent, so was the OST. had potential but essentially i think it wasn't for me. just for the good job both the leads did i think im gonna give it an 8, cause i think many people would enjoy the way the story went, i just wasn't one of them. i dont regret watching it cause it had good moments too - but there were better dramas for me in this genre
Xiao Yao killed Hong Ye for killing demons and imprisoning the three great demons, but she did nothing to Ao Hen…
im on ep 38 and its infuriating. "the debt you owe must be repaid" - exuse me? he just did repay the debt - did to demons exactly what they have given humans, if anything they are even now. "atone for demons? "what about the other way around? the point is the humans and demons are as bad and as good as each other but it seems only HY is paying the price for anything right now lol

it kinda looks like XY holds HY to higher standards and expactations than anyone else around her, forgetting he's a living being with feelings like everyone else. i kinda understand the human HY, at least more than i understand XY at this point. maybe in the end she does deserve to have him only in her memories but with 4 chapters to go i might change my mind
Tbh, if you want to enjoy this drama, just enjoy the characters, they have amazing onscreen presence, almost each…
im on ep 21 and i agree - characters, visuals, even OST are good, but the story line just doesn't pull you in as it could. im so tired of this trope when you supposedly have these powerful clever characters but they are always powerless when it matters. and unfortunately it happens here a lot - and it's the story line;'s fault. the actors do the best they can with what they were given but it's not enough
when does the arc with the immortal lord and hong ye being poisoned and xiao yao watering the flowers end? when…
i understand, im just pretty particular about how i like the plot to go in this genre - its usually my problem, some plot lines i love and binge them quickly and some i get stuck on, so far there were things i liked and some i didnt, i do have some criticism for the drama so far but i have praise as well for other things :) the leads are doing a good job tho, even with the parts i dislike
when does the arc with the immortal lord and hong ye being poisoned and xiao yao watering the flowers end? when do they get out of this place? im on ep 13 and it's really dragging for me
i gave it 8/10 because the first half was excellent, the second half was pretty much a mess tho. i questioned myself all the time if it were me that was stupid or if it was the script - got lost in the plot, then went "wtf?" a couple of times because of the convoluted way they tried to amp up the intrigue, it was just illogical in some parts but it was eventually explained. the execution wasn't the best tho. its worth watching even just for the first half, if it starts making no sense after that just power through or skip around a bit and it will make sense eventually. it was over all entertaining and i liked the leads a lot
loved it for like 19 episodes then dropped it around 20 cause i knew where the story was going and i didnt like it. not gonna continue - satisfied with what i watched and had enough. good chemistry between the leads. if you dont have anything to watch and like the actors, i recommend to do what i did - just watch like half of it
