I'll tell you...most fantasy genres are freaking disappointments. Why? They never go far enough. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Hence, why translating from book to screen takes imagination.

Whether, you liked the storyline. You cannot say the director didn't have vision. I believe everything is covered in this drama. Insect armies, giant fights, mass destruction, kaijus, Buddha palm ...WHAT? I was never bored. I kept thinking ...I bet they won't kill them...nope....I bet they won't destroy it...nope...Are we going to the underworld?...yep...Will we see the books?...yep

Gotta love the writing room. They went all out for the action. This is an action packed fantasy drama. This has more action than dramas that are 40-60 episodes. The actors were good enough. Were they Mark Chao, Yang Mi or Ethan Juan, Hu Ge, Tiffany Tang caliber?...Heck nah. But don't y'all forget Chinese Paladin...Our great ones all started somewhere.

If you want to stay up for days binging excessively on 36 episodes waiting breathlessly for the next episode to load. This is your drama. However, if you want to sleep...this is not for you...
