I can't explain my love for this drama.Perfect execution of everything!!Strong storyline,awesome CGI,excellent dialogues and especially perfect implementation of the beautiful ost and xigua music..chef's kiss!! Their love is so different.Just not some powerful male protecting a kitten,which ruins most of the Cdramas.The mental development of Ling xi makes this drama so different.She became so mature eventually,loved it! Ni Ni's acting at the ending was superb.The stunned moment when she saw Jiuchen after 300 years,is awesome,the tears of happiness in her eyes,killing acting!!feels so real! โค๏ธ..she is indeed a fabulous actress.โค๏ธ
And about Chang Chen,some people are saying he is old,not handsome..bla bla..to those people,are you blind??!! He is the most perfect choice for this role.He has a mature sexinessโค๏ธ. I donโt know why people is creating negative hype about his older look.Itโs simple.He just fits with the character perfectly.God of war is portrayed as someone moody,less communicative who is holding a powerful position for a very long time,and radiating strong masculine aura.God of war is a kind of person who doesn't express his love by saying cheesy things to his loved one.He shows his affection by his deeds,by his sacrifices,and Ling Xi is totally ok with that,Her devotion towards Jiuchen amazed me. This role finely suits Chang Chen.Now I can't think of any other person but Chang Chen as GoW,reminds me of Mo Yuan whom I liked more than Ye Hua..I think it would have been funny if some cute,babylike young guy played this role.And normally I can't stand young cute baby like guys..In the drama it is mentioned that GoW is a grown man with strong spiritual cultivation,has been protecting the realm for several tens of thousands of years, secluded from wordly desires,that explains his cold behaviour,then where is the problem??.So in my opinion,Chang Chen is perfect as GoW. And that very rare grin of Jiuchen..I've fallen or that๐ค. And their chemistry is totally fine also.They had faith on each other in their bad times.Without saying cheesy words,they had built up a strong chemistry.I liked this drama especially for Chang Chenโs acting and his personality..I liked him as GoW from his very first appearance in the drama.
I like this drama even more than TMOPB..because CGI is not that much satisfying in TMOPB,which is far better in love and destiny,and so is the storyline.And the father-daughter relationship of A'mo and his father..which made me cry.The OST is so beautiful.It is highly recommended.This drama is so underrated.This made me smile,made me sob.perfect combo of comedy and tragedy.especially Shi san's funny moments..Don't ever compare this with TMOPB.Though the worlds are same,storyline is totally different and beautiful.If I could,I would have given it 10 stars..Superb !!Just give it a try,and you won't regret for sureโค๏ธ
