Ancient Love Poetry

I am in the status of sinking into every details of the film because of the story, acting and graphics and vfx. Everything is beautiful and emotional though happy or sad thru the line. You will find out lots of details that tell you abt the love and sacrifice among Shang gu and male lead, the performance from the casts really stunt and touch your heart, you will not be regretted to spend time with this film.

Worth to enjoy!!

My favorite movie of summer 2021. I have watched it over and over 10 times, each time amused by a new discovery about movies.

It took a long time for me to get emotionally attached to this drama (about 20 episodes), but it was well worth the wait. This is one of the most heart-wrenching, tear-jerking cdramas I've watched, sacrifice for the loved one being a main motivator for several characters. The love story between two of the four true gods is masterfully told, spanning over 60,000 years. I love how the characters grew - Bai Jue (played impressively by the gorgeous Xu Kai) from an "Ice Cube" to somebody who could love so deeply he would sacrifice his life for her, and Shang Gu (played by Zhou Dong Yu) from a rather spoiled weak goddess to a formidable one in terms of physical, spiritual and moral strength. It was gripping to find out whether the main characters could overcome a doomed destiny.

It was my third Chinese and fantasy drama, without looking at the trailer or knowing what it was about, I only watched it for Xu Kai an actor who had impressed me in one of his projects (Arsenal Military Academy) from the first moment I was impressed by the scenery and the effects, the acting of the characters, the little jokes, the scenes loaded with a lot of emotion, it is incredible how all the actors can catch you with just their eyes.

I have seen the drama 4 times and I always find interesting details, I wish that time passes to watch it again and enjoy it as if it were the first time, I highly recommend it, I hope you enjoy it without prejudice, bad comments can be made by anyone, all those who criticize haven't seen this drama or they only criticize it 'cause their favorite actor is not here, but if you are that kind of person who looks for art and you don't criticize just to believe you are important, but you want to find a drama that makes you laugh, cry and feel angry, this drama is for you, you will feel it to the bone.

Give it a try ! It has lots touching love & relationship (not just lovers but father daughter love , master disciple, tribe ppl) Theme is simply love, responsibility and greater mankind. ML and FL are awesome actors, they bring the characters alive even though the FL is not super pretty, their acting , chemistry, ML heartbroken everything brings out so much emotion as it contrast people that will do anything to destroy what they cant get,or simply greed to get what they want for while some will give in everything to protect love & peace side characters also its shining moments.

Is a very emotional roller coaster drama, laugh and cry a good lot. The CGI effects, music matches beautifully. The way it ends is not very satisfying (it has a happy ending , just too short) but otherwise, I will vote it 9.5> it has plenty good values too different background, status qou , rich or poor not as important as one's heart, conscience &choices.
