The reason I choose this drama to watch is not only because Fiction Guo (I like him since Accidentally in Love), but because the synopsis already attract me.

The early episodes are really funny, especially to see how Bai Xiao try to adapt with a present life. The conflict is about trying to snatch spirit pearl from Xia Kui, but what's interesting is that on the way Xia Kui often helped the demons to solve their problems. Another conflict (as for me) is that Xia Kui hard to believe Bai Xiao, it makes she's sometimes fall into trouble with the demons.

And then there’s a Peony Demon who disguised as an actress, Nan Jiao. She is in love with Bai Xiao since a thousand years before. I thought she will be the one of the obstacles or one of the conflict, but no! She even collaborated with Xia Kui and Bai Xiao to maintain the spirit pearl save with Xia Kui. It’s so funny to see Bai Xiao always sneezing when Nan Jiao is near him.

The best experience when they have to fight to maintain the spirit pearl and to help other demons is when they fight at the demon casino. In that moment, I really feel the caring feeling of Bai Xiao for Xia Kui. He even willing to hurt his hands to help Xia Kui. But, the funniest moment (for me) is when Bai Xiao and Xia Kui do a time traveling journey to help Painting Demon see her love’s face. There, they meet Que Sheng, the Demon Queen who Bai Xiao adore so much. Xia Kui feels jealous of her and vent her jealousy to Bai Xiao. On the other hand, Bai Xiao feel angry too because he didn’t quite understand Xia Kui’s jealousy.

Overall, the drama feels solid, but there’s one scene that Zhou Jing try to hurt Xia Kui in the elevator, and for me there’s no closure for that scene. The cinematography quite good and the green screen is neat enough.

Lu Zhao Hua’s (Xia Kui) acting is a bit forced and over in the early episodes. In my opinion she can’t match Fiction Guo’s (Bai Xiao) acting perfectly and they seems to have lack of chemistry. But, from the middle to end of the drama, her acting become more natural and we can see that they’re have a better chemistry.
As for Fiction Guo’s acting, I personally think that he did great and give Bai Xiao character a soul.

For the other main role, Jia Zheng Yu (Zhou Jing) did not gave his best in my opinion. He lacks of expression while he should be do the double role, as a good and a charming senior, and someone who takes someone else’s name and life to live, who then stuck in a bad side. For me, I can’t see the different expression for those roles. I think he could do better.
