This drama is perfect to me on all levels. I wasn’t that into Chinese dramas at first, especially the fantasy genre, but this one single-handedly converted me! I love the chemistry between the leads and how their relationship gradually progressed from friendship into a romance against all odds. The kissing scenes were amazing - out of all the dramas I’ve watched recently, this has the best kissing scenes. I was thoroughly convinced of how deeply they care for each other, making it impossible not to root for them until the end. I also love the fantasy worlds created here, and it makes you want to live in them. The music was also incredible and is on repeat in my playlists.

It also made me a Dylan Wang fan (although I hated his first drama, Meteor Garden), and I secretly wish he’d take on more similar roles. I could tell his acting improved so much in this drama. I didn’t like Esther Yu in the beginning episodes, but that had more to do with the character rather than her acting. As the story progressed, she really grew on me, and I started to find her character so adorable and emotionally brave. It’s funny how I missed this version of her character when she later got reborn into that 'boring' goddess! Ugh.

The only thing I didn’t like was the ending, but that’s just me wanting more of this couple, hoping to see their wedding and future together. After all the tribulations they went through to be together, they at least deserve it! I also think the Heavenly King should have been punished, but I guess that’s left open to interpretation.

Overall, an amazing drama that I would re-watch numerous times.
