Practice fights
The story began with a strong premise just to fall flat in a few episodes.Xu Kai lives the character but the female lead spoils the fun.
There is a romantic angle which lacks depth. How does it start? An accidental kiss is what it takes.
There are mindless fights which are prolonged to fill up time. There has been many a times when I would have fast forwarded the episode but yet not miss anything.
Some characters feel to be hanging out there just to fill up screen space . Maybe they will be needed later. I have watched only 18 episodes and this is an ongoing one for me.
But do I want to continue watching? Do I have the patience? Maybe I could glide through the rest when they are available and see the last episode to give the story a closure.
On the plus side the music is good. The starting track is peppy while the ending is the complete opposite yet soothing.
The English subtitles are not lagging or out of sync.
The VFX seems natural there's nothing that's out of place when it comes to the graphics. This drama has to depend heavily on the computer graphics and that department takes full credit.
Overall this is a one time watch if you are fan of Xu Kai and spear shows.

An ok drama, did not exceed expectations
A pretty decent WuXia/Historical drama, nothing much that makes it stand out. I started this drama because of Xu Kai, I watched another one of his dramas "Falling into your Smile"(Highly recommend) and his acting was great. Upon watching this drama, it was a mess and didn't really meet the standard I was looking for.Story :
To start things off, the story was ok. It had nothing really special and it's a basic plot line. Main character, all powerful and strong with a purpose of revenge but understanding the bigger picture, a evil demon who is trying to take over the world with it's evil disciples, love triangle, second lead becomes evil, you get the gist. It was decently ok but towards the middle of the drama and the end was a bit rushed and got boring. The main female lead( Yu Jingqiu) figuring out her past and how she's all powerful but barely gets to use her mighty power because producers decided she was going to be a weak character and rely on the main lead. The main lead becomes all strong through series of unfortunate events but ends up beating the demon lord. The side characters were what made the drama most interesting and allowed me to finish instead of dropping. What really pissed me off was the death of so many unnecessary characters. Like why kill of so many people??!
CGI:
The CGI was decent, it looked really pretty and some parts were really well executed, especially when the characters would use their "special ability" with the animations of what it's called on the screen making it look like a comic book but in video form. The outfits were also really pretty, I loved the main female and second female leads clothing. The clothing for the main leads at the end of the show was beautiful, the black and the gold and how the main leads matched outfits. That really saved the show in my opinion.
Music :
The OST was amazing and it really helped pack a punch for the drama. Great way to start the drama off. The music throughout the drama was also well executed, having different music for different situations. Very well done in this department.
Acting:
The main leads acting was pretty good, the male lead was really good with his emotions, but of course Xu Kai is a veteran in the acting community so you won't get boring monotone acting from him. The main female lead was ok, some parts did seem fake but overall was still good. The side characters fun and bubbly personalities were well executed given these new actors/actresses don't act much as I have never really heard of them in the acting community. The main lead's chemistry was really good, the fact that the female lead was willing to give up her divine power just to be with him showed the sacrifice of true love. The side characters relationship was my favorite and it was really cute. I love how the second female lead didn't go for revenge when finding out the main male lead likes someone else but she decided to move on. Which was very refreshing to see as in most Wu Xia dramas, the second female lead turns evil... but in this case it was the second male lead(not surprising)
Ending:
The ending wasn't anything special. It was ok. The rush towards the end of the show really irritated me. I hate when directors and producers drag the first half of the show and giving so much context and background just to throw it away towards the end. The ending was nothing special but it did make me cry because of the deaths of so many characters. They really did not need to die but because it's Wu Xia and it's the finale battle, it wasn't surprising when certain characters got killed. The ending was pretty cute, we got to see peace between the world which was pretty good. Thank you so much for letting the main leads to have a good ending despite going through all that. It definitely made the drama worth it.
Was gonna give up on this drama, but thank god the ending was ok which made the lengthy process of 40 episodes worth it.

Demons always in control. Human were so dumb.
It's got a good story flow. But then the main problem with this drama is that it looked like the demons were the ones in control. The heros looked to be some foolish and stupid people who weren't even smart in every plot.Another problem with chinese dramas like this is that they show more of good people dying in dramas. We always want to be satisfied in the end. Then you show us someone like youyue dying in the end of a drama.😏
We always want to at least se villains suffer but yiu instead five them an easy death. Ao lan was a top villain in the drama atleast show him suffer because he really made the heros suffer. But you mostly highlighted heros like youyue die. It leaves no satisfaction for is who like watching Chinese dramas. Even though it's following a script. A script can be changed coz it's made by humans. We watch dramas with expectations of satisfaction and happiness in the end not heart breaks. The ending was good fine but not that satisfactory.😢

I was initially reluctant to watch this series after the first few minutes because of some of the graphics but I decided to press forward. The first few episodes were Really good and I thought it was going to progress into something a bit more exciting however what I discovered was that there is a great deal of repetition in the series. I don’t remember watching a series that seem to revolve around the bad guys winning so much. In a 40 episode series , up to episode 35 and the bad guys are still winning. This is even with our male lead gaining strength and finding his own power. I have to be completely honest as a viewer, I don’t fine too much joy in watching the bad guys win, but this was more than just the bad guys winning. It really seem like it was a series about how the villains dominate all the time. The series was honestly filled with schemers plotting while the good guys missed the moment. I believe it is due to this reason that the rating is so low. Yes, we all can go for a really good underdog story about how they overcome but they were very few epic moments where the good guys won the battle. Even when they won something , the villain still seemed to get away. It was just not that great.
What I liked about the series was the acting and the fighting scenes are pretty nice. What I dislike about this series was that it seemed a bit one-sided in regards to winning and losing. After a while there appear to be very few characters that were redeemable. Nobody was trustworthy.

Too typical
I like period dramas and Xu Kai have done well in previous ones I have seen. He seems to be doing well in this kne too and i was enjoying it until the episode that their romance started.It is starting to be too ttpical for most period dramas to have a hero who is in persuit of a goal and then romance starts. Then theres a friend or colleague that becomes a rival and end up being an enemy. I guess i just watched too many of this same plot back to back that now this series became the straw that broke the camels back for me.
Can someone produce a period series wherein the romance is just 25% of the series and the rest focused on achieving goals and dreams?
The female lead has a cold demeanor, Xu Kai's character has a cold demeanor. The brother of Xu Kai seems important but his story is going to slow.
The romance started before even having a slight explanation of where Xu Kai got his exemplary power. Yes his mother is a transcendent but his father is a regular joe. What made his more powerful than the others who has both parents as transcendent? The lead female acting at a point looks like shes just doing the job and her heart isnt into the role. It may just be me.
Other characters are good and enjoyable. Seriously the romance starting and i just lost interest.
My review is just my feelings and thoughts. I enourage all to watch it because it seems good. If you are not sick of the typical plot of hero after pursuit then starts a romance with a friend turning into an enemy because of a girl, then this is a good one to watch for you.
Production is good, costumes/wardrobe is good, I am not too crazt of the soundtrack tho, characters are good.

Pretty actor/actress to look at but they can't act and bad script. It didn't lure me in
I am dropping Snow Eagle Lord with Xu Kai and Gulnezer Bextiyar after 4 episodes. I don't like Xian Xia drama; I have tried many times (TTEOTM, TJOCZ, etc.) and dropped all of them. It is not a genre that I am into. In addition, I have not been able to finish any of the historical costume (Wu Xia or Xian Xia) dramas that Xu Kai is in because he cannot act.He has a pretty face and a one-dimension actor, and to team him up with Gulnezer is another pretty face who can't act either.
I give it a 3.0 rating because of the bad acting and Xian Xia genre, where the script was not good.

A Reflection on Snow Eagle Lord
In Chinese dramas, Xu Kai has undeniably carved a reputation for himself, capturing hearts with his compelling performances. My admiration for his acting prowess blossomed after witnessing the chemistry he shared with Bai Lu in 'The Legends.' Xu Kai's ability to convey emotions with depth and authenticity truly left an indelible mark on me.However, this newfound admiration led me to venture into 'Snow Eagle Lord' with heightened expectations. To my surprise, the series didn't quite resonate with me as I had anticipated. Perhaps it was the thematic nuances or the narrative elements that failed to strike a chord with my personal preferences. Despite this initial disconnect, I recognize that the beauty of storytelling lies in its subjective nature.
There's a lingering thought that someday, I might revisit 'Snow Eagle Lord.' Sometimes, a second viewing allows for a fresh perspective and a deeper appreciation for the nuances that may have eluded me initially. It's not uncommon for the intricacies of a storyline to unfold more gracefully upon revisiting.
Although 'Snow Eagle Lord' may not have immediately resonated with me, it doesn't diminish my admiration for Xu Kai's talent. His ability to breathe life into characters is commendable, and I eagerly look forward to witnessing more of his diverse roles and performances in the future. Xu Kai's journey as an actor is a captivating one, and I'm curious to see the artistic paths he chooses to explore, knowing that each role holds the promise of new surprises and dimensions to his craft.

I would like to see Xu Kai's talents utilized.
It's boring. And 40 episodes is too long.I watched it with high expectations because it stars Xu Kai, who is known for his acting ability, but I was very disappointed.
It's not Xu Kai's fault.
The script is boring.
Moreover, it is a CG-based drama, which I don't like at all.
I don't like fantasy dramas to begin with (although I thought The Legends was interesting).
Imagine the scene before CG, the actors are acting in the dumbest possible situation, and you can't help but laugh when you watch the drama.
Already dropped.
Xu Kai belongs to a big agency and may not have the right to choose the drama if the company tells him to, but I think he should choose the script because Xu Kai's acting skills are solid.
