Finished it finally after dropping it the first time after 8 epiosdes, and thinking about dropping it the second time around the same point, I want to thank the people who told me to watch up to ep 16 before deciding, thanks to them I finished the drama. The story starts picking up slowly starting from ep9 and change completely later on (ep16), that doesn't change the fact that the drama was still too draggy, and that took away a lot of its quality. My final rating 8/10.
2 reasons for dropping the drama at the first arc, the story was slow without any interesting character that keeps you going, the FL was annoying at times and had no self-esteem other times , ML the typical cold main character. The second reason is the 2 main leads didn't have chemistry, I've seen them both making better chemistry with other actors and actresses. But they grow on you afterward. Maybe because their characters change.
I wasn't sure about casting Xu Kai as the ML at the first arc until I saw him as Qing Mu, he fited him perfectly. ZDY was good enough, I fell for her beautiful smile.
What I loved most about the drama are: OST, CGI, some very good support characters and some emotional scenes that put me to tears (The OST made them even more emotional)
They had enough time to give us a complete satisfying ending, still chose to drag the parts before it instead.
