Poetic, magical fantasy masterpiece!
9 May 2023
This is apparently a classic in Chinese literature thus you can find different interpretation of it and for me, this is the best. Every frame is a painting, every detail has a purpose and every character evolves independently from their origin or alignment. For those of us who play computer games, this drama has it all: adventure, action, mystery, filosophy and romance. Love is the common element for every character's expansion independently from whether they are demon, human or fairy. You will find yourself laughing, crying, upset, joyful, sad, etc... You will basically go through all the emotions throughout the entire drama. The show is impregnated with Taoist Buddhist wisdom and beliefs which renders the drama introspective and profound. Make sure to watch this on a big screen in a dark room because there are many dimensions, colours and landscapes that have the power to totally absorb you into the story. The acting is brilliant, every single character is so convincing that you totally believe them. I'm watching the series for the third time and every time I discover something new. A big applause to all of those involved in the making of this particular version of the classic.
