Story
I did not read the book so i review based on the series i heard the series actually have longer episode then the aired one. Beginning of the drama quite strong character development of the lead. Their introduction and the support role. But after every episode, feel like the main lead has lost their charm and strong’s background in martial arts. Towards the ending its become more boring but you have some eagerness to finish i think the charm of yang yang and Lu si. Last episode seems like producer compact all the remaining episode in episode 40. How come Yu wuyuan so easy to kill ? They just passed the throne to huang chao and after that so continuation on Huang Chao next line. if you watch second you will notice so many weakness in the plot

Rewatch value
No.
There are many option of xianxia drama that have powerful plot then this

Acting
Yang yang - he only charm in the earliest episode, you can feel his mysterious identity , the chatm that he hold as the most pwoerfull person within martial arts but as the episode reaching peak his charm have been decreased the character would likely depend on the Bai fengxi seems like bai fenfxi more powerful than hei fengxi even though hei fengxi should be more powerfull. Yang yang need dwell himalef as a general but everytime in the battlefield he always clean not some hero that in battlefield
As the episode increase tou can see yang yang already tired and just acting w/o soul

Lu si
Lusi character development is saved the plot of the drama. Lu si need to be more in xianxia drama she is so beautiful and the have the vibe only to be queen. Please look forward lu si ik next drama with Leo Wu
