A must watch that needs the assistance of FF
TLDR: While the story is lovely, the acting is wonderful from the 2 leads, and the chemistry was fire when it need to be, the drama is way too long, and has so much fillers that at time, was super boring and one needs to FF.
Why it’s a must watch, yet I only can give it 8.5:
I think I watched the first 4 eps and was bored… and this was when it was first airing. I checked back again at ep 8 or 10, can’t remember and found myself do not care for the mopping demon Prince 😒 so while the whole world raving about it, I was meh about it. Then I got back at 26, and then it turned to be a must watch! From then on, I was glue to the airing schedule, I couldn’t wait for more. Yet I was still FF-ing 😒 I FF anything that isn’t the main leads, and because I didn’t want to miss the storyline, I FF the slow way, so more double speed on certain whiny characters, than jump skip and has no idea where everything is. With the amount of FF I did, I was amazed I understand everything 😒
I love everything about the 2 leads, when they alone, when they are together. I kinda dislike or don’t care about the rest 🤦♀️ as much as I like DD as FJ, and her love story was great, the second she went down to the mortal realm, I was FF-ing 😒 I saw parts of it, but I wasn’t invested in it, nor I’m moved by it or feel it needed in any real sense. So minus 1 point for making me FF so much, n it was painful to FF the right amount n not missing anything crucial! Normally I would abandon the series by now because seriously, when you FF 30mins of an episode to watch 10-15mins of it, you wonder why would you bother?!!! But Mark Chao and Yang Mi were so good and addictive together that I couldn’t stop. To this day, I still haven’t watched this drama fully. I started from 26 til the end, came back from 13(?) for their mortal time together n all the way back to 26, skipping along the way.
The other 0.5 deducted point was having way too many characters I do not care for 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I do not need 5-10mins of that mopping Prince every few episodes 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I love FJ but I also don’t need so much of her either 😒😒😒 nor I need to care about all these sect brothers, the servant that took her spot marrying someone 😒😒😒
If you find yourself having a hard time starting this series, do start at ep26, trust me, you will love it. It started with FL jump off to end her life, and that’s interesting. You wonder why or what the ML did to her that she rather abandoned her child than being with him! And that’s also where the book starts! If you have doubts, do what I do, and you will find yourself falling in love with this drama.
PS: all these nonsense about the drama isn’t great if you skip so much or require you to skip so much, meh. Who cares?! So what if you have to abuse your FF button in order not to miss out on one of the best xianxia love story! It might not be the best due to the company wants to milk it for all its worth. But fact is it’s truly a great love story that anyone who love drama, shouldn’t miss! (And seriously many, many great xianxia out there has the same, if not more, amount of fillers!)
