Ah so here we go.. first off I want to make known to those who will read this. If you are reading my review to have an in depth description of the pros and cons about this drama you will not find that here. I'm simply here to give MY overall opinion on the drama and how I felt about its ride through the story to the ending. Keep in mind that I rarely do reviews on here but for this one I really wanted to give kinda my own experience on it.

Starting off this drama really had my attention cause of the Era and all around genre built around it. This Era in Chinese history was one of my most favorites and sadly I haven't found MANY dramas that fall in this Era so I came into this one really excited. Now I don't want to say I disliked this Drama and I don't but honestly not as a whole it just fell a little. Would I still recommend it yes, however I would warn based off my own experience if you are someone that loves a drama with a strong start but dislikes when it starts to shift at the middle and kinda fall into a muddled slow pace than you won't like it. Honestly just watch clips of the first half of the drama cause anything after it just falls short of what you would expect.

Now that's my opinion someone else's might differ. If you are a true fan through and through that's good, it means you found something in it you liked and no one should tell you how to feel, however humans all differ in different styles and what we enjoy, that's how it should be. But back to the point, the whole story did keep me kinda strung in even though it was a little muddled at the middle and end for me. I do love Shen and MiLan so I wanted to stay and see how they developed and grew together. I mean Shen was kinda like Chinese version of Van helsing (the anime version) for me cause his personality when he would bring down the human veil became more nonchalant in a way. Also his brother is a badass, a little crazy perhaps but who doesn't love a good old fashion psycho with a love string for a pretty girl. Some other characters I was fond of was Liang, a little bit of a rat but compared to a lot of characters you see like him he wasnt terrible and then the mysterious Mo character. He confused me a little but you don't get the see much of him either sadly. Still an interesting man he was.

How the ending happened though was a real kicker for me... I didn't like it cause it left to many questions and I've come to a conclusion through watching many historical or old date Chinese shows that it will end in one of two ways. The female lead Sacrificing herself for the solution or the man they love dying to end the problem. I still have yet to find a old style Chinese show where the lead couple just get to live in happiness together and it's always very sad. As I said still have yet to find, maybe one day I will or someone will suggest one.

My all over opinion on this show is really that it is good, it's just the ending is where I would have liked to see some more background or more clear actions, maybe even a happy walk in their new life together instead of the muddled mess it became. Maybe there will be a second part that starts off in a better light who knows. It could very well happen with how open the ending ended. Only time will tell.

But as stated please keep in mind that this is thoroughly just my views on some things I wanted to talk about and I'm always open to comments that want to talk about it but if your commenting to pick a knot at my opinion and to fight my way of thinking I will not acknowledge or comment back. In exact terms comment with the intent to talk not fight ❤
