I loved this drama

I waited a year for this drama and I was not disappointed. Now I dare to say that it is the best xianxia drama of the year. The visuals are stunning. The visual effects, the costumes, the make-up, everything is amazing. As is the music, the entire ost is captivating. The storytelling is flawless even though they had to cut the story threads from 54 episodes to 40. Not a dull moment, and the full range of emotions is encountered, no doubt very deep and thought-provoking. There's abuse, evil, love, regret, passion, a series of misunderstandings, sacrifice, betrayal, and on and on. The performances of the actors are quite amazing. Let's start with our two protagonists. Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu gave their best, no actor or actress could have played their characters better. They portrayed 4 and 3 different characters respectively, quite brilliantly and distinctively. Luo Yunxi's gaze and the tiny movements of his mouth are so captivating, he completely conveys what he is feeling and thinking. Bai Lu is beautiful, her characters are a joy to watch, none of them are weak, wimpy characters. And when she's in pain, you can't help but cry and sympathise with her, her performance is 10/10. And their chemistry, oh my god, there are no words. Every little movement they make towards each other, the way they look at each other, expresses insecurity, passion and intimacy all at once. You can see that they like each other and they love working together, Love is sweet was a wonderful collaboration too, I hope to see them together again. The rest of the cp is great, everyone is well developed, there is chemistry. I would deduct half a point for the ending because it is so painful I sobbed for an hour, but I can't because it is a flawless creation, a masterpiece.
