Yu Gu Yao (2023)
A must fantasy C-drama
The drama is beyond my expectations. The story development is logical and rich. The growth of the characters and their interactions are well described and shown.
The sceneries are breathtaking, which were shot at real locations. The visual effects are fantastic, no complaints. They likely have good budget.
The script is good. The story is not the usual martial fantasy with characters reincarnating, hating, and fighting each other; then all of a sudden, they get married. The story is about kindness, forgiveness, and maintaining your belief albeit sad destine on the surface. There are also cute interactions and humor.
Last but not least, Xiao ZHan 's looks and acting are unbeatable. He is so god like in the drama, with his appearance and elegant, calm manner. One must drama.

Characters and plots
Very good screen writing and intrigue plots and subplots. Characters evolve nicely and their relationships moving.
There are lots of surprises of characters' interactions, conflicts, misunderstanding, or may be reconciliations. Each character has strengths and short comings. They seem to grow following the developments of the story.
It seems that the story/drama also touches on some sensitive topics/or social issues of that era, But the drama does not blame or rationalize those issues. This drama really focuses on the growths of a group of young people of that era. They each has their very different background, and most of them try to set their goals to do better during that era with limited resources.
