Familiar formula but still enjoyable

Once you’ve watched many dramas like this, it is hard to be surprised by the storyline as most of them follow the same pattern (unexpected meeting, grow to fall in love, have to part, death which leads the other one to forget their principles, back to life, overcome evil) but this drama added it’s own spin on this pattern with an interesting though hard-to- believe* opening where the FL injures herself while fleeing an arranged marriage.

Thankfully, this drama is on the new trend to give us happy endings which are not short and even used the last episode to play out a little side story which was enjoyable and let me have my feel good vibes for a whole episode as I loved seeing them live their happy life for a full episode!

The ML carried himself well as the last ancient god but I was struggling to see him he as a sickly mortal. Interesting to see how the drama chose to have a role reversal where the ML is the one who pines after the FL. It was fun to watch the FL being more matter-of-fact and let’s move on after having sex but it was a bit of out character for the ML to suddenly be so clingy & willing to throw caution to the wind when he was shown to be such a strong selfless character who put the 3 realms above his own interests during the first half of the drama.

As long as I turned off all these questions that kept popping up in my head, I was entertained with the above average CGI and sweet love story between the FL’s parents (I saw that coming a mile away so was just waiting to see how that part of the story would unfold and this drama delivered nicely)

*hard to believe on so many levels as the FL is shown to be the best fighter so how can she be so badly injured that she loses her human form. Also, she has a good relationship with her master so why were they not able to discuss the marriage alliance the same way they talked about other important issues? Didn’t really make much sense to send all the generals & soldiers to hunt her down and bring her back for the marriage as she can easily just not go through with the wedding by saying no in person during the wedding. Unfortunately, most dramas have this problem where logic is usually the first to go as long as it moves the story along in a nice way.

Il titolo di questo drama dovrebbe essere "il Dio ribelle"

Il vero protagonista di questo drama non è come suggerisce il titolo, Shen Li, il generale supremo del regno dei demoni immortali, ma Il Divino Signore, l'Ultimo antico Dio: Xing Zhi. Perché è proprio a causa del suo cuore umano che la storia dei 3 regni cambia! D'altra parte la sua nascita si contraddistingue da una mancanza precisa di scopo rispetto a tutti gli altri antichi dèi che lo hanno preceduto. Capiremo alla fine del drama, che grazie al libero arbitrio, l'Ultimo Antico Dio ha cambiato davvero la storia del mondo.
La storia tutto sommato è semplice e lineare- Fino all'episodio 22 quasi ci si addormenta, fino a che durante l'episodio 23 succede il primo cataclisma! E meno male!
Purtroppo è caratterizzato da tempi morti, dove uno sguardo dura anche venti secondi se non trenta, e da ricordi su ricordi che diluiscono la storia e bisogna andare avanti veloce altrimenti si perde il gusto di guardarlo.
Comunque è un drama piacevole, piuttosto ben fatto, con alcune alcune lacune che si possono perdonare. C'è carenza di dialogo in generale, bisogna andare di fantasia in alcune scene.
Il personaggio di lei, Shen Li è un personaggio rude e deciso, coraggiosissimo e molto potente sebbene sia una donna, ma d'altra parte non è il Generale supremo dell'esercito del regno dei demoni per niente. Considerando poi che è la figlia del Re dei Chimei! Sono fenici, con immensi poteri. L'attrice è bellissima e molto femminile, la sua recitazione è carente di espressioni, spesso sembra imbambolata e ci si chiede se in testa ha il vuoto o qualche pensiero.
L'Antico Dio è un essere distante dai comuni immortali, ha poteri sovrannaturali, regge i tre regni, quello immortale, il + basso, quello dei demoni immortali, l'intermedio e il regno dei celesti immortali, quello superiore a tutti che però si caratterizza da immortali sfaccendati e incompetenti a partire dal controverso sovrano, che tutto ciò che sa fare, anziché armare il suo regno con un esercito degno del regno, gioca con i suoi ninnoli, Solo nel finale tira fuori un pò di dignità da re! Il trucco e parrucco di questo attore è ridicolo, a volte pare una scimmia con baffoni e barba!
L'Antico Dio è splendidamente impersonato dall'attore Lin Gen Xin, il quale riesce a conferire al suo personaggio un'aura di distacco e di forza interiore. Mai un gesto o una parola fuori posto. Esprime potere e volontà con un solo sguardo, Un applauso alla recitazione! E' un personaggio che si interroga sul suo ruolo al mondo, che si ribella per i limiti imposti dalla Legge della Natura la quale gli dà immensi poteri, ma gli poni vincoli insormontabili come l' amore e la compassione- Si rivela un Dio risoluto a combattere contro tutto e tutti per amore pur salvaguardando i regni, fino all'estremo sacrificio. E' un Dio ma anche e soprattutto un Uomo il quale rivendica l'essere uomo.
Non ci sono storie secondarie degne di nota, ma ci sono alcuni attori secondari veramente simpatici ed accattivanti quali i nipoti del sovrano, il Principe Fu rong promesso sposo di Shen Li e sua sorella. Nella storia saranno decisivi.
E che dire del bel generale Mo Fang. Anche a lui l'amore ha giocato un brutto scherzo fino alla morte.
Alcune scene, fotograficamente parlando sono degne di nota, bellissime composizioni. Gli effetti speciali ben realizzati e in abbondanza.
La ost invece secondo me, è mediocre, a parte alcuni brani strumentali, le altre canzoni sono comuni ed una in particolare, quella della sigla di apertura dei video, fastidiosa.
I costumi belli, cosi come le acconciature. Le locations non sono molte, ma non ci si fa caso più di tanto.

Buona la traduzione dell'ottimo team di traduttori italiani che sempre ringrazio di cuore.

A Genuinely Delightful, Engaging and Captivating Drama

A rather fun start, this is a long awaited drama and so far has not disappoint, It is engaging and captivating, and colourful (especially the CGI chicken) as well as mesmerising. Just wish it has both English and Chinese Subtitles so that I can watch at the same time as my sister who only understands English whereas I prefer subtitles in Chinese.

Each episode gets better as the story develops, this has certainly been worth the wait. I wasn't expecting to like this drama as much as I have, but thought I would give it a try, however, 4 episodes in, it has certainly surpassed expectation, I am amazed at how captivating and mesmerising this is, it is a delight to watch Zhao Liying at her very best, she embodies and personifies extra edge that extraordinary natural talent brings is something that cannot be taught and is what makes great actors stand out … know what is required at a given moment by their viewers; to immerse in the drama. Both Zhao Liying and Lin Geng Xin have brilliant chemistry together. I have now watched 12 episodes and I can't wait to watch the next and upcoming episodes to see how the story unfolds ...

This drama is a breath of fresh air

I had to go through the exhausting sign up process just to write this review. I've always love Zanilia Zhao Liying but I couldn't even finish legend of fei because I found it kinda boring but you see this Legend of shenli is the most amazing xiaxia drama ever.

The emotions, the non-verbal cues, the OST, the characters... Everything was on point ?❤️

Zanilia Zhao really outdid herself with this drama... She's the queen of costume dramas no ?

I love Lingenxin 's expressions... My guy was so calm but you'll also tell how he's feeling from his expressions.

This drama deserves all the love❤️

Love you Zanilia ?❤️

Surprisingly watchable

Things I found annoying: Some of the dubbing is cringy.
-CGI is obvious and repetitious.
-by far the most annoying thing is how slow some of the episodes are but still contain enough events
that I have to go back and watch bits that I skipped...grrr!

Things I found not annoying: Everything else.

I'm annoyed that I didn't wait for the entire production to be added to Viki, now I have to wait to watch the last four episodes...said me, never... regarding a C-drama, yet here we are. I can't give a higher rating for a show than, 'I can't wait for more episodes' or 'I'll watch this again, on purpose' and this series gets both.

You don't have to think a lot while watching but it's still intelligent enough that it will suit a wide range of demographics.

Time well wasted, give it a go.

Slow pacing and a boring storyline.

This is my Honest Review.

This drama has impressive CGI, with fight scenes surpassing those of many Xianxia dramas. The scenery resembles something out of a painting, and I can't praise the background music enough. It's pretty clear that they have put a good amount of money into the production. However, does this all truly matter if there's no clear plot? I've watched up to episode 14, and so far, not much has happened. This drama is really slow. The first 5 episodes were really good and engaging, especially the interaction between the CGI chicken/phoenix and the main lead.

I thought they were starting slow and that the plot would pick up, but no. I can't even understand what the main objective of this drama is, what they're trying to accomplish. This drama feels so unserious, especially the male lead; he's really boring. Yes, I can understand why he's like that, but maybe because of the lack of depth in the plot or an unattractive main lead, I can't take him seriously.

The plot centers around the main lead not being allowed to be with the female lead because it goes against the rules or would be dangerous to the three realms or something like that. I've already seen this kind of plot in Immortal Samsara, but the difference is, there, it has enough depth in the plot and angst which is quite convincing. It has its own faults and pacing issues, but there's always something going on enough to keep me hooked, which is not the same case with Legend of Shenli.

If I want to talk about the story, really nothing has happened until episode 14. All I can say is it's a story of one woman and three boys. I really can't understand what's really attractive about the main lead which made the female lead fall for him twice. Their interactions are funny, but I can't feel any chemistry between them. This show doesn't do a good job of making me care for the side characters.

Someone said in the comments that the real story starts from episode 22. It's too long for me to wait; until then, what we got is unnecessary filler, comedy, immature side characters, a tug of war between the male and female leads, and not much else.

Okay, I'm dropping this. I want to see Zhao Liying in another historical drama which has a strong buildup in the plot.

Another flop Xian Xia drama even though it may have good actors. It was slow and boring.

The Legend of ShenLi is a typical Xian Xia melodrama about the Immortal and mortal worlds. It has fantasy elements with good and evil. It has good actors (Zhao Liying and Lin Geng Xin), but it is a flop (in my opinion) because the storyline is so boring after 12 episodes that I could no longer engage or watch it further.

My Reviews:
- Yet another predictable Xian Xia drama about the demons and heavenly realms.
- I love ZLY, but this drama did not lure me. I have watched 12 episodes already and am not convinced I should continue.
- The first 7 episodes were good, but it went downhill when she returned to the demon realm.

I am dropping this drama and giving it a 6.0 rating for a bad script.

THIS ISN'T LIKE THE BREAKTHROUGH PRINCESS AGENT

Of course this isn't. So far, this isn't amazing drama, it is an okey drama. Nothing spectacular like we anticipate it, the anticipation of being a great drama like Princess Agent. Story about Gods and Devils are overused - nothing original synopsis - we have watched hundreds of similar Xian xia genre C-drama before. As I would hope this's another great saga famously known Princess Agent, unfortunately not even close.

ShenLi or Gen Bi Chang (Zhao Li Ying) run away from arranged-marriage to earth, chose to fight for her freedom rather than accept the match. Sustaining injuries, ShenLi reverts to her original form and falls into the human world as a phoenix where she is picked up by a mortal vendor and sold as a plucked chicken at a local human market to Xing Zhi (Lin Geng Xin). With that little purchase, Xing Zhi inadvertently intertwined his fate with ShenLi. She didn't know Xing Zhi real identity, he's a God who descendant to earth for divinity as a weak mortal. He's born as a man who could predict future, many people came to see him for his vision, Shen Li involved in his life and willing to protect him from those who tried to do harm. Shen Li fallen in love but she knew they won't have future together as one was immortal and the other was just a mortal. As she got a calling back to immortality, she's gone.

Positive note: It looks like a big budged production, CGI works better than usual/generic Xian Xia C-drama. I love the opening credit, love the opening chorus.

Negative note: ** It's weird acting when they're up close staring each other without so much emotional attachment, no tenderness & sincerity in their eyes. ** 35-36 yo Lin Geng Xin were awkward act cute like a little boy "awww...awww...it's hurt". ** Xian Xia drama - God & Devil story's been used many times over, no originality in whole production. **At some point he'd bend his knee to get close to her face.

Ep 12 decided to drop it. It's over advertised..

Another C-drama i am dropping this year! what is happening in C-dramaland!?

Sooo where do i start? yes i am about to rant.

1- The first scenes were a huge dissapointment for me, like damn give us some nice CGI.

2- I really couldn't feel the chemistry between the leads and that is the reason why i am dropping this drama, i mean the plot was nothing new (the same plot that has been used and re-used several times lol) and at this point so many things didn't make sense to me (Was i surprised no lol, at least the romantic part could have saved it for me).

3- I don't recommend it, there are better dramas out there, no need to waste your time watching this, hence the rating.

My favourite xianxia to date

I gave this straight 10s. Is it a perfect drama? No, of course not, no drama is. But I felt that if any deserves a perfect score, it's this one.

Everything about it was top-notch, from production to acting and chemistry not only between the leads, but between the whole crew. No bullshit misunderstandings which plague this genre usually, and we even get to see the wuxia kryptonite in action - a very satisfying ending.

Although the cinematography and choreography are close to perfect, the real engine behind the high quality of this series are the characters. Although there is a plot about saving the world and whatnot (as you would expect from a xianxia), this is a story about two people: the feisty and straightforward FL and the cunning and shameless ML. Everything gravitates around them, willingly or unwillingly.

That is not to say that the supporting characters are weak or irrelevant, almost all of them show great growth during this drama, some even jump from unlikeable and straight-up villains to fan favorites.

I don't want to say more, to avoid spoilers, but you should give it a go, if this genre interests you. I dare say that you won't regret it!

Finally a good ending!!!!

It is such a rarity to watch a drama that is good and ALSO has a good ending. It is not rushed, no cliff-hanger, and no open-ending.

The chemistry of the leads were very explosive. Like even the subtle actions of each other where they were acting so hard and kept lying to themselves how they shouldn't fall in love and yada yada but bruh anyone can literally see how much they want each other so bad lmao. And their kisses!!!! I can't- like yesss!!!!!

I would just say though as a critique, would be either the character Mofang or the actor because his character to me lacks depth...either it is the way the character is written or it's just the actor's lack of ability to act but honestly his parts were easily forgotten and just boring. I feel like the actor should've shown more resistant and despair when it comes to killing his comrades rather than just only being protective of shenli because shenli wasn't the only one who was their for him throughout his life.
