For those viewers who like fantasy, gods swordmanship Daoism (xianxia) and deep, unwavering love, this is the drama to watch (I am there for the third time....it never happened before....I don't spend time watching repeats). The love story goes through three different worlds and different incarnations/life periods/instances of both lovers. The acting is superb, especially the male and female leads (Mark Chao is an outstanding actor, Yang Mi is excellent). The music is beautiful, the scenes are colourful and poetic. The computer effects are not 100% perfect, but this "imperfection" adds to the eerie and fairy-like atmosphere of the story. This drama will stay in your mind for ever ...it is a life changer.....
There are quite a number of logical inconsistencies in this drama, even assuming that this is a fantasy genre. However, let's remember Coleridge's concept of "voluntary suspension of disbelief". Even if the story is not completely logical, and even if it is not totally faithful to the book...it does not matter. This is another work of art, crafted for TV, in images and sound, and we suspend disbelief in order to enjoy the poetic quality, beauty and intensity of this wonderful love tale (and the secondary stories within the plot). Enjoy and be moved and amazed.
score 10/10
