Wow... where do I begin?

This is all you need to know about this drama.  It is not an innovative drama nor does it take itself too seriously.  It delivers exactly what you expect it to deliver...which is lots of beautiful people in beautiful costumes with a beautiful soundtrack to go with it. It is a fantasy so of course there is going to be lots of shitty CGI. This drama is also not short on overused cliches: Female lead loses her memory (check), Male lead is stoic and cold (check), Male and Female leads are so in love they do illogical things (check), Evil, scheming, jealous women who desire the male lead (s) (check) (CHECK) and there are more but it would be a spoiler... (CHECK). I also fast forwarded a lot of boring side arcs.  This was how I managed to finish this entire thing in 3 days.

BUT!  Here is the huge BUT in this review... BUT.... boy was it entertaining.  The main story arc, which is the love between Bai Qian and YeHua, was so captivating that it made up for all of the sleep I lost.  Watch this drama for Mark Chao as YeHua.  He gave the performance of his life.  When Yehua was in pain, I was in pain.  When he was in love, I was rooting for him like a childish school girl.  Yang Mi as Bai Qian wasn't as impressive but she had her memorable moments.  I give her lots of props for portraying multiple characters.  She managed to bring to life three different characters in Siyin, Su Su and Bai Qian while still retaining the element of continuity that made us all believe that they were still part of her original character Bai Qian. She also kicked ass as Bai Qian (which was refreshing).  I only wished she recognized her feelings for Yehua earlier.  Like COME ON...GIRL... return the passion please!

Huge Con: The story does not truly start until the second act which is probably why people would drop it early on.  The main male character (Yehua) doesn't officially show up until episode 8 or 9 for crying out loud.  

In summary, I loved this.  It was a great ride and I will definitely rewatch (and skip all of the nonsense filler story arc again) just for my dose of Bai Qian and Yehua.
