So when i saw the title i was skeptical and the synopsis didn't work out for me, but i'm so glad i tried it out.
This is my first Bai Yu movie and so far he did so much with his character Zhang Yulan i was so impressed he had so much expression and his eyes were so filled with emotion it was stunning, oh and Zhu Yilong nailed another role once again he did so well as Ye Zun and Shen Wei the acting was sooo great. The story made so much sense and as the tag says lots of character death but still worth it all the same.
The other cast did well too, though i would have wanted for the story to develope Ye Zun, i really think the character has a lot of depth and it wasn't portrayed totally.
The movie is something special and worth the watch if you are into a little bit of a heavy drama and also not a compulsive Romance shipper. Try it and you won't regret it. The ending was not what i wanted but i still got the satisfaction of finishing a movie with all the tears and emotions lol
