Chen Xi yuan

If you like character development and a slow-building love story, than you'll absolutely love this show. Personally, I loved it so much that I've seen all 60 episodes in just 3 days, despite the fact that I started watching the show with the assumption that "I will most definitely get bored by it".

There were a few things I didn't like, such as the costumes and make-up of some the secondary characters (namely the old guys). Plus, some special effects could have been done better given today's expectations. But the overall story was so good that it simply eclipsed any minor issues the show has.

There are also plot twists, which personally I found predictable, but I didn't mind that at all because they were the logical conclusion of a longer story development. And having another twist would have been poor taste on the writer's part.

Btw, if you expect non-stop action on the length of just a few episodes, then you'd better orient yourself to something another show cause this ain't for you.

I'm not really sure why it's rated below 8.0, but this show deserves at least 8.5.

No great performances, just a messy clone. The drama has no central circuit, many improvised development details, unreasonable. If you have watched many dramas, you will see many familiar scenes in this drama. It is unbelievable that the drama received such a high score. By the way, I like Chen Chang's other movies, even though they have much lower scores. Skip this drama.

I love this series. I have watched it at least eight times and intend to watch it again. I am addicted to this series for good reason:the actors, all of them, were convincing. This is one of the best Cdrama love stories ever produced. The storyline is good and the cinematography is breath taking. The lead actors NiNi and Chang Chen gave superb performances as the God of War and his love interest, Ling Xi. Their chemistry was off the charts and yet so natural. I was touched by their performances. This series will make you laugh, make you cry and sometimes make you angry. This is one of the most spellbinding series I've ever watched. Kudos to the writers, director, and actors for a job well done. This series is well worth the watch. Encore!

Great main male and female leads! Acting from those two really made this series so enjoyable. After watching I am a big fan of Ni Ni and Chang Chen. Chang Chen as God of War was perfect. So much charisma. I normally dislike the cliche cute, innocent, kind female leads in Asian dramas but Ni Ni made her character so believable. Can't help caring for her as Jiuchen does. I could not finish very popular ten miles peach blossom (although the male lead is good but not as good as Chang Chen to me in that series. I found the supporting characters annoying and the female lead/character also not as good) but love this one. Better supporting cast and stories as well. Can understand antagonists' motivations more, not just pure evil. If you don't know much about Asian mythology it may be a bit confusing story wise and who's who. Just minus one star since I felt the pacing could be slightly better. A little draggy in the middle then felt a little rushed at the end.

The plot gathered from many sources, without its own identity. 60 episodes too long and ended too quickly. Chen Chang was wrong to choose to act in this movie. Ni Ni's makeup is not beautiful. Watching is not impressive at all. Boring. I have watched and understand why the high scores but few people see and comment. See once no times later.
