I actually really liked this drama in the beginning. I didn't mind the childish FL because she has a reason for being like that. But then it started getting draggy and I just completely lost interest.

Let's talk about the good things first, the acting. Cheng Yi did a brilliant job portraying Si Feng and is very good at emotional scene especially ones that include crying. I really like Liu Xue Yi in this too, although I wouldn't say his acting is at Cheng Yi's level but he still did pretty good and I especially loved his character. I actually really liked the villains in the show which are him, Yuan Lang and Wu Tong, I was basically rooting for them to defeat the main characters.

The costumes and sets were pretty nice as well, I thought Yuan Bing Yan looked really pretty in the beginning but apparently a lot of people disliked it. The CGI although not as great as Ashes of Love was still decent and acceptable. Si Feng's fighting scenes in the beginning was really impressive.

The songs were amazing, I loved the title song sung bu Liu Yu Ning.

Now on to the not so great parts.....

Firstly, who edited this drama? Because holy shit, there are so many random cuts that are so frustrating. One of them being at the beginning where a girl fell into a pool or something. (I think it's the FL but because of the editing you can barely see her face) That scene was so quick that you can't even tell what's happening.

Next, the awful misunderstandings. The ML basically had so self love and I find it really baffling that someone can actually be like that. Xuan Ji has shown time and time again that she had no trust in him, I mean she literally stabbed him but he still stayed by her side. There were so many easily solved misunderstanding, Si Feng could have told Xuan Ji his plan to pretend to be Mosha Star and that they could have worked together to solve it but no. I really dislike the trope of purposely being bad to protect someone, talk about your problems and communicate please. But I mean, with proper communications, 99% of the drama wouldn't be a thing.

Next up would be the repetitive scenes, you basically had to watch the ML can beat up, tortured and vomit blood for 40 episodes. He literally spat out blood when he was beaten from the back, which doesn't make sense whatsoever. It was boring ok, I cried in the beginning but then bursted out laughing when I saw it for the 15th time.

Annoying characters, Ling Long and Xiao Yin Hua

When Xuan Ji said she "likes" the 6th disciple Min Yan, who Ling Long also had a crush on she got mad at him somehow. Why? I don't know, maybe projecting her own insecurities? She also very stupidly went and fought Wu Tong herself when knowing she cannot defeat him. Xuan Ji who is the god of war is literally your sister, what are you doing???

Then Xiao Yin Hua, who doesn't get signals thrown at her. Liking someone and in her case Si Feng is fine. But it becomes a problem when purposely third wheeling yourself trying to break him and Xuan Ji apart. She knows very well that Si Feng loves Xuan Ji but still thinks she has a chance. Si Feng has never shown a liking to her and even after he rejected her, she still went for it and died in the end. Was it worth it?

Xuan Ji's selfishness also really bothered me. She didn't care that billions of people would have died because of her opening to bottle that contained Mosha Star to save Si Feng. He himself told her not to do it but she didn't listen. I know that didn't end up happening no one died but I still dislike her after this.

I still find drama more or less okay, it's definitely better than Ashes of Love I can tell you that but would I recommend it to someone? Probably not.
