I am watching this and I enjoy it. It is not perfect but I am not annoyed by the flaws. I’ve never really cared about CGIs as long as it is not too shoddy. I know people are complaining about Cheng Yi’s bad fighting scenes but he still went up on the wires despite this bad leg injury so I guess his mobility and balance is limited. I am not fussed, my attention is on the story, the chemistry and the acting.

The storytelling is OK, but it is moving at a fast pace. I am up to their reincarnation already. Ying Yuan’s dad and their cursed blood is probably why the reason his uncle keeps warning him about falling in love as Ying Yuan has some evil innate qualities he inherited from his dad. I am happy for once that the second female lead is not crazily in love with the male lead. If i was a book fan I would have hated this adaption because of the crazy changes but since the series is my introduction to the story, I find it OK.

I really enjoy the chemistry between Yang Zi and Cheng Yi. They are very good friends in real life since “The Legend of Chusen” and the BTS clips are hilarious and they look like they had lots of fun filming together. Into their reincarnation, the chemistry is still strong despite them being different people and personalities from their immortal past. They are fun together in the sweet bits and they both can cry beautifully in the heartbreaking scenes. I like their costumes as well.

This series is not the best in the xianxia genre, but it is way better than some other ones I have seen in the past two years. You wont feel enlightened by watching this series, but it is entertaining for those who want to relax. For those who decide to watch, just enjoy it for what it is.
