This review may contain spoilers
For the most part I enjoyed this drama. I got a little bored near the end but I think it was me and not the drama itself.
Let me start with the cons:
-I was disappointed the song Never that was played in the trailer would be in the drama!!
-No werewolves. Hoping for a directors cut to see some cool werewolf parts!
-The CGI didn't bother me at all but just putting it here because some people don't like. There isn't much of it but I personally think it was great for 2018. It is way better than say the CGI in Ice Fantasy that came out 2 years earlier. If the CGI does bother you feel reassured there isn't a lot of it.
Pros:
-Overall I found some parts of the plot predictable but I enjoyed the ride. I am always a fan of birth secret plots.
-The music was good. Even though they didn't play Never.
-I liked the main characters. Ma Zhai Xing is your typical altruistic female character but she surprised me in the last episodes in couple ways. I enjoyed the character of Prince Bo too. I felt the leads had great chemistry and I am always a fool for the over used childhood friend/crush story lines. My favorite character was probably Ji Chong. He was a great 2nd lead that didn't due stupid desperate things to get a girl who didn't love him. I found him refreshing and was content with his ending. I really liked the night fiends too! I think I would have enjoyed side stories with.
-I didn't hate the ending. It is not picture perfect but there is closure!
Will I rewatch? Probably not? Unless it is released with the cut scenes and then I would just watch those parts.
