This show is amazing, of course there are some things that could make it better, but the show overall is great. The storyline, the characters and how they are dressed is all amazing. I am only on episode 27 and can't wait for the next to air. I think that a new season is needed and it should include them as a couple and fending off evil together if they were to end it as a series. The show definitely needs another season not just end it here that would be a waste of a potentially great show which could lead to a great series. I think what needs to happen though is that some of these character need to be pulled from ALP like his parents that would be crazy good I don't know how or why they would be brought in but it would be an amazing series in that sense.

I am new to Xianxia genre, it's definitely not my favorite. I wanted to give TLI a try since I dropped so many Xianxia in the past, didn't think that I'd binge watch all the episodes in a few days. I am loving the story (easy for me to follow), the acting, the beautifully detailed costumes, pleasing cinematography (not too overly saturated) and color grading. I actually went back and rewatched ep 1 and 2 while waiting for new episodes. I'm looking forward to see how the story unfolds even with the coming angst. If anyone who is new to Xianxia, please consider watching TLI. Love the water beast baby Ayin!

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I WAS ABLE TO FINISH A XANXIA/FANTASY C-DRAMA.

Initially, I only wanted to watch it for Zhao Lusi. Knowing her, she always gives justice to all the roles she plays. This is also her first xanxia drama so it was refreshing to see her execute such role.

As expected, she definitely played her role well. NOT ONLY HER, but also the rest of the casts. Gosh!!! Wang Anyu is such a good actor. He displayed such a powerful and charming aura which I believe one of the vital points of playing his role. I didn't know him before The Last Immortal, but I'd definitely start following his journey after this together with Zhao Lusi.

Furthermore, the other casts were such an awesome actors as well. They complements each others' roles. The friendship, the character developments, the improvements all throughout the episodes, the transformations, the angst, the NEVER-ENDING twists. THIS IS A MUST WATCH.

Overall this series is watch worthy but there were times it tested my patience. I enjoyed Zhao Lusi's acting and her interaction with the ML who performed well too. The second ML and second FL was great to watch too. The tribulations & pain both Fl and ML went through were heavy and tear jerking. There are times I got impatient with Ml's character because he made some fundamental mistakes and decisions that led to deep misunderstandings. His character was rather immature initially and slowly he became worthy as a leader. I didn't like the repeated flashbacks that took quite a lot of time and that there seem to be never-ending repetitions of death and reincarnations when you thought the series should wrap up and leave some time for happy moments together. That's why I thought 30 episodes could have made the series more memorable than 40.

The plot is not very original neither new and is very similar to the series " Eternal Love ", except that the actors of that show are much more famous and better, and in this one except for the leading actress whose acting I like and is good enough.

The story is about reincarnation, unrequited love, misunderstandings, power struggles, ambition and jealousy, and there are many battle scenes in the drama, but the ending is not sad and is acceptable.

The chemistry between the leading actors is not real and effective in my opinion, and the series has some minor flaws, but overall, unlike most Chinese dramas, it is not boring at all. I watched 40 episodes in 2 and a half days.

I give this show 7 or 8 out of 10 points.
