this drama was probably one of the best ones ive watched in a while. im not really the type to watch solely for romance so this drama was good in that way. im not saying there wasnt romance tho but it develops pretty smoothly and only takes flight towards the end. the story is pretty decent, although inconsistent at times. it focuses a lot on individual character development which is nice. all the main characters are really likeable.
some people found the ml yun tianhe really childish but honestly himbos are funny and he literally barely had any human interaction so what do you expect.

no complaints on casting or acting
osts are good and pretty emotional; they suit the drama well.

the start of the drama was pretty lighthearted, first few episodes are light and silly which is enjoyable. ml and fml dynamic was really funny and nice to watch. the story progressed really well for the most part, sometimes the plot got a little slow but its alright. its really interesting tho and at one point theres like an epiphany moment where everything starts to make sense and the dots start connecting its pretty fun.
the world building (as its a fantasy) is pretty easy to understand too you dont need to rack your brains to understand it.
what i liked the most about this drama was the sweet platonic relationship between the four mains like that is true friendship. this held out til the last episode omg the ending was so.. beautiful. its pretty bittersweet but thats how it shouldve ended and im glad it ended that way.

now there are very few things i dislike abt it.
the cgi was honestly pretty good for a cdrama but it got a little choppy towards the end. this next parts a spoiler but i dont understand how qionghua falling would kill all mortal beings like its so small compared to the rest of the land. my next point isnt much of a big deal but i dont like how they made liu mengli (second female lead) end up liking tianhe too. she clearly stated she had never loved a man before and i think they should of stuck with that cus the trope of two girls liking one guy is.. well not my cup of tea. it wasnt really a love triangle at all tho but they shouldnt have left her hanging like that like id be more satisfied if they made her gay or smth (but yk china would never do that).

anyways to conclude it is very worth watching it’s interesting funny heartwarming tear wrenching just everything youd need in a good costume drama !!
