OK, I have a fascination with long hair on guys, so this show grabbed my attention with the thumbnail on Netflix.

The story is High Fantasy with a totally Chinese twist to it. Yes, the ending was annoying on some levels, but they did a second season called Ice Fantasy Destiny which is also quite amusing, although not exactly picking up where this one left off.

As to the ears, well, elves are very popular the world over and rather than the characters being normal mortals, the ears and the hair are a visual cue that what lies ahead is not your average oriental historical fantasy.

I completely love the production and for anyone who has an interest in Chinese fantasy productions, this one twists and turns and surprises one all over the place while telling a story of family complications.

I loved the show for what it was. They definitely invested most of their money in costumes. I enjoyed it but hate the way it ended so abruptly. Since IMDB doesn't show an end year, I wonder if there are more episodes somewhere else.

It is definitely fantasy. I loved it. I found the costumes and sets amazing. There was a wonderful attention to detail in the costumes. Yes there were holes in the plots but the actors were superb. The storyline was unusual. Very well made. Would highly recommend it. I watched every single episode.

Quite riveting, except for the drawn-out "moments'. Makes you exclaim "ok, ok I got it can we move on?" I know some people said the wigs were bad, I actually thought the whole costume and makeup was pretty nice. The only one I couldn't get past, and made me chuckle every time he would show up on the screen was the Fire King. He looks like if Wonder Woman and Jack Sparrow had a baby. The other thing is the "memories". I swear, more than 1/3 of this series is "memories". I understand that it fills the episode time but I had already started to skip past at about episode 3. Otherwise, nice series. Especially MMORPG players I bet enjoy it. Loved the idea, pretty much everything, characters are fully fleshed. The end though seemed rushed.

Plus while Li Luo is supposed to be head over heals in Love with Ku Suo her face always looks like she hates him in real life. Plus the 1 million plot holes.. but still better than I thought
