I went without any expectations and it was so good. I wasn't a fan of any of the main leads or second leads, I actually couldn't finish watching moonlight because I find her voice a bit annoying and I already had bad impression of Wang Hedi from another drama. I was neutral about Zhang linghe because I haven't watch any of his dramas before. Yeah I had little to zero expectations starting this. And I have to say perfect casting.

Things I like :
1) story itself. It's a really good story, really good script. Nothing was what I expected from usual xianxias.
2) perfect casting. I think Esther and Dylan had amazing chemistry and everything felt natural. Whatever bad impression I had before I blamed it on directors/scripts of those dramas because these two can act and are very good. Definitely looking forward to more dramas from them. Especially Dylan. His portrayal of Dongfang qingcang were mind blowing.
3) the music. The moment I finished the series I have been listening to the ost nonstop because it's just that good
4) fav characters. Apart from Dongfang qingcang, I really like fairy Danyin.
5) visuals.

Things I don't like : not much actually. The only boring part was when they were in mortal realms. And I didn't really care much about supporting roles love story. So I did ended up fast forwarding them.
