This was my first Novoland drama, I had ever watched. I didn't really have any expectations, mostly I wanted something fun to watch that wouldn't be too demanding on my emotions.

Overall I really enjoyed the series. The leads have a nice chemistry and the story while not quite logical flowed really nicely. It's a fantasy series so I chose to not to be too logical in watching this. The story of the wizard and the empress was sweet and much of the drama covers the growth and maturity of the FL. She was very likeable and kind leader.

But having said all of the above the character I really loved was Du Xian Yin. As the second FL she was complex, conflicted and lovable and detestable at the same time. As an avid watcher of dramas it was really nice to have a villainess be so rich.

I can't really say the same about her love interest. He was a loyal dolt. He didn't seem to be able know right from wrong, and sometimes I felt he was undeserving of all the love and loyalty he got from the women in his life. Yun Mu Yang was blind as a general and faithless as a lover.

Xue Jing Kong, the lead of this drama is what I would call the typical, self sacrificing ML, ready to die for his love at any given time. He was dashing as the sage old merlin-esque character. For an old guy he was very cute in his romancing of the FL.

Dislikes: the political manoeuvrings, an ever growing list of villains was sometimes tiresome. At some point I lost interest on who, was on which side. There is a lot of back stabbing in this plot. You can't trust any character really.

In the end I would say "Novoland : Castle in the Sky 2" was a fun watch. Don't expect too much and enjoy.
